Probably, but I just did a cursory Youtube search for Lancaster (Lancaster funnily enough was around long enough to have wrestled both Pillman and Austin) and the Gambler to see if it shows up. Apparently they just gave job guys different themes for no rhyme and reason. Some show up more than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree, I think they just very truthfully did not put as much thought into it or think music to be as important as the WWF did. Some of those songs were used over and over again, like the ones you listed, Mongo/Hak/Psicosis was another, I could think of a million. Renegade's theme was the same Marc Mero was using in the WWF, how did no one catch that? Edit: I do want to just say that I agree with your point on some of those stock themes being incredible. When they hit on a really good one like the Jericho Evenflow, Goldberg, Harlem Heat, NWO, it works really well Edited March 21, 2021 by Zakk_Sabbath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people in WCW used that music. I wanna say Greg Valentine used it at one point when he had a cup of coffee in WCW in 1998. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In ECW and WCW, he was a softly spoken evil genius.IN WWE, he was a guy who screamed "What about me?" for no particular reason. Its sorta surprising in hindsight how much WCW invested in Raven, I wasn't to familiar with him in.ECW then, they made him seem like a big deal especially for someone who isn't associated with the NWO or Hogan of any of the top guys. I enjoyed his matches being Ravens rules before hardcore matches became a thing on Main stream wrestling tv. It was a big deal when he had that match vs Goldberg for the US title. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll be damned if late 2000 through 2001 isn't at worst my second favourite Steve Austin year. Even after KotR, you still had him putting a top-five all-time SummerSlam match with Kurt. It's a remarkable body of work. Links to these IG accounts please. I kind of find "I want someone I can relate to" to be the most basic wrestling take that I see repeated way too often. Always happy to see this alternative represented, even if my actual views are always rocking back and forth on a continuum. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpnFhLM0hX/?igshid=8ryv9bljtmqq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Disorderly Conduct also used that Hollywood Blondes theme. I would guess that theme was used by WCW at least as much as the Orient Express theme was used by WWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Anyone ever see Ron Bass Jr. wrestle? Is he any good? I wasn't aware of him until earlier today, when he was retweeted by a different wrestler (O'Shay Edwards) I follow. Made me wonder about other second/third gen wrestlers that are completely off my radar. I'll have to dig into that at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, think how cool a match between Hollywood Blonds and the Orient Express would have been in '93! Austin faced both members as singles in preparation for The Great Muta, when Blonds had already broken up, so it was missed opportunity by maybe 7-8 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'd be so disappointed if Andrade ends up in ROH, man. Their TV is boring as hell and honestly, with the whole forbidden door thing, they're now a kind of irrelevant #5 at best (6 if you count NWA). Maybe a condition of the release was "Don't go to AEW, you're free to do anything else" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'd prefer Andrade to anywhere but AEW. I'd rather see him in ROH/NJPW though I'm not sure what the state of that relationship is currently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you alluded to, if you're looking to see Andrade in NJPW he may very well have a better shot at that now through AEW than through ROH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3 year old and his wife is about 7 months preggers so our time for searching out stuff is a little limited. Just being able to fire up The Network at the same time made things go faster rather than searching for stuff on youtube or Daily Motion. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

TheVileOne Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I’d kind of prefer he doesn’t go to AEW right now. He’d get lost in the shuffle there. Their roster is too bloated. NJPW or ROH could use a talent like him now, especially ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Andrade goes to AEW, they need to release some guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
