I liked the Original Gangstas song(by Tupac?). It had the crowd going, and I liked how it would continue playing as the match was going on.Awesome! :headbang:

Whenever I hear 'Walk" by Pantera, I think of good 'ol Robbie.

the best part:

"RE...SPECT...ROB... WAT DID YOU SAY?!

"RE...SPECT...ROB... ARE YOU TALKIN ME?!"

I loved Simon Diamond's "Simon Says" theme, that was pretty cool. Who the hell was that by?

 

I also loved Sting using Metallica for his WCW theme, that always sounded awesome.

Too bad you got the lyrics wrong, eh? It's "RE...SPECT...WALK", hence the song title. Hey, nobody ever said Pantera wrote GOOD lyrics...

 

And also of note, Rob used an ECW mix of Rhode Island hard rock band Kilgore's cover of it that appeared on the ECW Extreme Music album from mid/late 1998 until ECW's closing in early 2001.

 

genius, thou shalt not insult Fear Factory! Jerry Lynn's ECW theme was "Scapegoat" by Fear Factory, and despite ECW's awful production values (ie. not being able to hear a damn thing in the song), the song is GREAT for entrance music.

 

Man, all this talking about ECW's music makes me wanna pop in Extreme Music and Anarchy Rocks (yes, I bought that TERRIBLE second album, which features even more awful covers of great tunes).

 

You know, I want to know what song was used by The Unholy Alliance (Mikey Whipwreck, Yoshihiro Tajiri, and the Sinister Minister). It's not One Minute Silence's "Holy Man," as I've Buy Now...Saved Later (the album it's from) since it was released, and the two themes sound nothing alike.

I'd also like to know what Steve Corino's theme was.

Remmember when WWF used "Highway to Hell" as the theme for SummerSlam 98 and all anyone could talk about was Spike Dudley.

 

ECW could've released a AC/DC comp, half their roster used their songs.

 

Oh and I can never hear "Come Out and Play" without thinking of Raven.

Corino and the Unholy Alliance had production music from the guy who recorded the ECW theme.

CM Punks theme Miseria Cantare is perfect for his entrance.

I thought that they somehow got around copyrights by having the songs they played in-house be covers. Obviously, this wasn't always the case, but I do think at least a few of the songs they used on the shows were covers.

 

I'd also like to ask: Was Mike Awesome the only guy to have a theme that was written for him? I think he used "The Zoo" for a bit, but I know he also had a song after that which had lyrics about him. Like:

 

Rising up from a land Armageddon

He's a modern-day gladiator

Six-foot-six, angry and mean

A living, breathing, war machine

Made his name in the rising sun

With tons of battles that he won

Time and time his hand was raised

As all his victims felt his rage

 

Awesome's what they say

All his victims feel the pain

Dropped with an Awesome Bomb

You go down and you never come up

 

Ice-cold blood with a heart of fire

His victim's doom his one desire

Challenge him, he'll send you home

With a crimson mask and broken bones

He's a force that can't be stopped

Awesome is rising to the top

Puts his body on the line

Now it's time for him to shine

 

Or something to that effect. It's been a while since I heard it, but...man, I just realized how sad that makes me look. Well, fuck you, Mike Awesome used to be my favourite wrestler....

 

Anyway, did anyone else in ECW have songs made for them?

Sabu, the Eliminaters, Awesome, and Tazz all had Harry Slash themes. The one you mentioned is the Harry Slash song. It was great, and I too thought that Mike Awesome was the freaking shit.

The one wrestlers music in ECW I did not like was Jerry Lynn's, it sounded like a bunch of loud noise and grunts, not music.

The main reason why Jerry Lynn had that theme is becauss he is really into heavy/death metal music and that Fear Factory song certainly fits those categories.

I've got Steve Corino's theme that Slash produced. The one that sounds like "Come With Me", that he used in 2000. You can e-mail me if you really want it and I'll send it.:)

Didn't Slash release a 4-track CD with a bunch of rare ECW themes in 2000?

 

Mike Awesome's "AWESOMEBOMB"

Eliminator's production theme "Total Elimination"

The new ECW TNN theme

and one other...

 

I have those 3, too.

"Awesomebomb" is so great. But "Come Out and Play" remains my all-time favorite.

 

Kimona and Beulah laying around like a slut...Raven sits in the corner...Meanie & Stevie being idiots...those were the days.
