Without the Wrestling Thread, There Is...No...You! - - Part 187

[the dmg]

I am really hoping that Miz and Mizdow stick together long enough for Miz to get eliminated from the Royal Rumble, which would then prompt Mizdow to eliminate himself in a glorious manner.

Okay...now I really want this to happen and if it doesn't, I blame you.

Ziggler was the ****ing man last night. Anybody saying otherwise needs to layoff the PCP.

Same. They really used him well. Same with Rollins. Guy was on a roll.

The only thing missing to truly make the moment was Howard Finkle announcing him as the sole survivor.

There's no way they miss something THAT obvious, right?

Right?

Right?

Crap.

How about instead: Miz gets eliminated, Mizdow is about to eliminate himself when he sees an opening, wins the Rumble, defeats Lesnar at Wrestlemania becomes the longest reigning champion of all time.

Yes. As champ, he has to go back to being the intellectual savior, though.

WWE.com has posted Sting's theme/entrance video.

I have to say, it sucks! Vince's need to brand everything ruins a classic entance.\

As I wrote yesterday in the Elite section, WWE flew Sting to Kansas City Sunday AM to avoid fans seeing him and then kept him under wraps for as long as possible backstage.

That's why I hate the dirt sheets sometime. WWE goes to incredible lengths to keep a secret and yet some a--hole in Titan Towers can't keep his mouth to these "journalists" who ruin the surprise for everybody. Just imagine how much of a bigger action Sting would've gotten if the fans hadn't know. I also hate how fans will cheer for somebody rumored to come out before he actually comes out. UGH!

They just updated Undertaker's Unholy Alliance theme and gave it to Sting! LOL

Was I the only one REALLY hoping that after Dolph had his moment and Steph threw her tantrum, "No Chance" would play and we would get a classic "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" from Vince?

As much as I like Bryan, Rollins, Ambrose, Punk, Wyatt, Cesaro etc....I gotta say, atleast dating back to late 2012 Dolph has gradually become my favorite wrestler on the roster. And he continued to improve more and more despite eating those crap sandwiches he was fed for a whole year. Even when I was frustrated with what was happening with Dolph he constantly found ways to remind me why he's my favorite wrestller on the roster...I'm not saying I think he's necessarily better than the other guys I mentioned but even then Ziggler's passion has resonated with me to such a degree that I favor him the most.

If I were to Rank my favorites right now on the main roster..it would be:

1. Dolph Ziggler

2. Daniel Bryan

3. Seth Rollins

4. Dean Ambrose

5. Bray Wyatt

6. Cesaro

7. Wade Barrett

8. Paige

9. Natalya

10. Emma

The reason I put Rollins over Ambrose is because despite how awesome Ambrose is Rollins has really won me over by giving his 200% at all times and improving in every way at an almost unhumanly fast rate. Passion at times really resonates with me when a performer works his hardest and shows it every night.

He really hates having to pay royalties. I mean with some WCW themes being replaced on the network, there's legit legal issue with the composer. Stings theme was done by Jimmy Hart, there shouldn't be an issue. It's a shame too, because that 2k15 commercial had a great version of the theme, and should have been used.

But this reminds me, while watching some old ECW Hardcore TV episodes I downloaded years ago. I'm still amazed that at all the popular music that appears on it, from rock/metal to hip-hop. Paul E and his tiny operation were able to licence all that music, but WWE doesn't want to pay Jimmy Hart for Stings theme.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I assumed the Crow Sting theme was stock music like a lot of WCW's themes.

WWE has morons running in there...According to Alvarez, When Nikki and AJ were going over the spots for their match, they were told that they only had 20 seconds for the match. WTF?

WWE is their own worst enemy when it comes to building that division. Women's wrestling can totally be marketable, especially with the talent they have there and NXT.

Look at how Ronda Rousey is tearing s**t up in the UFC. The WWE comes out with a trashy reality show instead......

To my knowledge Jimmy Hart did the majority of them, but there was another composer that contributed themes. The NWO theme is the only one I know of that is stock music.

The women's division is the one place TNA has WWE beat.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

What about all the themes that are just instrumental versions of popular songs? Such as Raven's and DDP's themes?

Jimmy Hart. In those cases, notes are slightly changed to where the song still sounds familiar, but is legally different.

Maybe he'll get a chance to rub Steph's nose in it. It would be a good way to amp up the crowd.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I'm okay with it. We got more time for a fantastic main event instead of AJ Lee phoning it in for 10 minutes.

Sting makes his WWE debut......


15 years too late.
