The Natural Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 1 hour ago, HarryArchieGus said: Best original themes: 1. FTR 2. Hangman There are so many original themes that I would never get into outside the context of wrestling, but are so good in the world of wrestling: DMD, Jamie Hayter, Cole, Acclaimed, Moriarty, Kingston (questions of quality more related to the lyrical content which is barely even heard), Starks, (the previous theme for) Powerhouse Hobbs, uh MJF! Worst themes: Lance Archer's is just dogshit awful (tho, I'm not not amused). The vocal version of Danielson's (the instrumental is totally fine). If I heard Athena's music on the radio I would switch fast, but it's kinda awesome in the context of Athena doing her thing which is a testament to how great she is. Forgot FTR and MJF. I like Bryan Danielson's song with the "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!" part ONLY. The verse one, I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 10 hours ago, caley said: Adam Page's Four Horsemen homage It's actually an Ecstasy of Gold remix knockoff. It's funny because Modelo spots run during Dynamite and they use this song, so you're essentially hearing Hangman's theme multiple times per show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 There are a ton of AEW themes I like. Just thinking about it got the Renegade Sisters' theme stuck in my head, so there you go. Too many C-Shows for me... That said, the thing is that there's so much AEW content that I usually watch the entrances at 1.25 or 1.5 speed so ... it's their theme at 1.25 speed. Give it a try. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I must be the only one who hates calling a wrestler's music a "theme." TV shows have theme music. People have entrance music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Are we just talking AEW-original themes? Adam Page's was grandfathered in just like Cody's. Doesn't count. Is Tony technically a TV character at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) I’ve heard it used to describe darts’ players music when they go to the oche, unless it’s both when they come out from the back and when they step up. but, same would apply to walk out as a phrase.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This is a very weird/specific thing but I've always called it 'ring music' because I heard Scott Hall say it that way once when I was a kid, and I thought that was the proper 'insider' term at the time, so it stuck with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I always though Adam Page's music was different than what he used in NJPW. I swear what he used there was either the Ecstasy of Gold or even more of a ripoff of it than his current music. Either way Hangman's music is one of my favorites. That and I can't hear his music without thinking of the Chucky T tweet about "them horses have dicks now!" 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Hangman's is stock music, but they did repackage it on streaming services under the name 'A Hangman's Tale' with an AEW logo on it, so they may have worked with the artist or something - the person who played it is named Vincent Pedullo, and the song was originally called "Ghost Town Triumph." I'm not sure if it came from any specific library, Google gives back a lot of like SoundCloud hip hop loop-type results. Edit: as best as I can tell, this is the original source: https://www.royaltyfreemusicclips.com/music-download/ghost-town-triumph-5005983/ Edited April 24, 2023 by Zakk_Sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 IIRC, Kingston used a hip hop song that sampled Ecstacy of Gold in Chikara at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the loudest show I've ever seen as well. The loudness was so high it was like a physical forcefield within a large radius of the stage. I stood as far back as possible and took cover from all the unknown potentially dangerous flaking shit that was dropping from the ceiling. I'm with the Jonathan Richman motto on loud shows these days. Edited April 25, 2023 by HarryArchieGus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlk23 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Now do Ricky Stark showing up at the Rumble with Cody. Or Adam Cole at AEW shows when he was with NXT. Or Brit Baker at NXT when Cole was there. Because it's Punk, it will be bigger than it has to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Now, not behind a paywall: Quote AEW’s CM Punk was backstage at WWE’s Raw on Monday. Both Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer have confirmed that CM Punk was backstage at Raw in Chicago Monday afternoon. According to Alvarez, he was eventually asked to leave by security. PWInsider, who initially reported Punk’s backstage visit, said that he did "briefly see Paul Levesque" and "met with several other WWE talents” before being asked to leave. They additionally reported that their source said that it was a Vince McMahon decision to have Punk leave the venue, with the same source saying him being asked to leave was due to Punk being under contract to another company. https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/aews-cm-punk-asked-to-leave-wwe-raw-following-backstage-visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
