Which WWF wrestler has the best theme tune ?

or do you prefer WCW choons ?

Well, at the mo...I guess I like the Undertaker's (Rollin' by Limp Bizkit), and Kane's scary funeral type tune, oh an even Mr McMahon's "no chance in hell"...Triple H's is also okay "I am the game and you don't wanna play me!"I never really liked the Rock's music that much. WCW got taken over by Shane O'Mac, is it back on television yet?...

Read "1984" while in a headlock. Seriously though, wrestling is DUD. And the true enemy of music.

The nWo Wolfpac toon was really good; that's also Jason Giambi's theme music when he comes up to the plate. The best theme ever was "I am the Mountie". The only thing Napster's useful for anymore is old wrestling themes. The best current ones are the ones not made by the WWF music department: HHH (Motorhead), Taker (Limp Bizkit), and Steve Austin (Disturbed). Edge and Christian also have a good one, the one that sounds like the Chemical Brothers with that chick whispering, "You think you know me..."

Taking sides: Air's "Sexy Boy" or Shawn Michaels' "Sexy Boy"?

both "sexy boy"s have ludicrous images associated with them, in my mind at least.

there is, of course, air's video for "sexy boy" with the little monkey. however, on nyc public access, there was this show where guys would pretend to be wrestlers...in new york city apartment buildings. you see guys pretending to attack each other and banging into people's doors with wreaths on them and then those people yelling to "cut the shit!" they created entrance videos for themselves, and one of them used "sexy boy." he kissed his biceps but there were no chicks in site (not surprising).

That was easily the best show I've ever seen. Those wrestling Brooklynites should have their own network tv show, never mind public access. I love the way they trash each other in the hallways of their building, and you can hear all the neighbors' tvs turned up to 11 to drown out the noise of these boneheads smacking the shit out of each other and throwing chairs. It's fantastic.

I'M NOT YER BOY TOY. Fantastic.

I was stuck at my uncle's house in East (West?) Greenwich, Rhode Island once with absolutely nothing to do, so I started flipping channels and noticed that there were like 4 public access channels in a row with either indie wrestling or straight-up backyard wrestling on. There was this one where one kid suplexed his brother unto a flaming piece of cardboard covered with thumbtacks; and their mother was standing there watching them the whole time! Public access tv in the bay area is so fucking boring by comparison -- nothing but hideous, old, half-naked ladies sitting on couches talking about dildos. As for the original question, I forgot about those old classics: "Pencil Neck Geek" (Classy Fred Blassie) has got to be up there with the Mountie.

There's this one public access show here in NYC that shows clips of other shows, random things, including the Star Wars '78 Christmas Special. YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE DARKNESS UNTIL YOU SEE THIS. I mean, there's this one super disturbing scene where...oh god, I forget the singer now. FUCK. Well there's this semi-famous black female singer who I have TOTALLY forgotten and she's singing to Chewbacca's father in this virtual reality masturbation chamber thing. It's the best show ever, EASILY. Besides the wrestling show, of course, because you gotta give props to people who bug their neighbors to all shit. Though I gotta give MORE props to the Star Wars showing show, because I used to talk to the guy who runs it over the internet, and he lives on the UWS.

There's this other show that intersperces bizarre old movie clips and tv show clips with, like, porn and explosions and plays music over it. That's a pretty good show. All shows should be like public access.

> Well there's this semi-famous black female singer who I have TOTALLY forgotten and she's singing to Chewbacca's father in this virtual reality masturbation chamber thing.

Grace Jones, maybe? Sounds like her kinda schtick.

NYC public access TV roolz!

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Tuesday, 29 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Definitely not Grace Jones, though that would've only made it WAY FREAKING BETTER.

I'm curious...how doe s the title of this thread relate ot the subject matter?

― Mike Hanley, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Indie wrestling? Excuse me? Indie wrestling?

― mark s, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe I readit in a toilet in Newcastle at premier indie hangout - next to 'Johnny sucks'- it elaborates further and ends -' i suppose it'll be a lonely walk home tonight'or summat - when i went back to the bar - Fidge an' Merkin were discussing Edge an' Christian's tune - while i was still pondering .....

great album title for KOC- 'straight-up backyard wrestlin'

― geordie racer, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Indie wrestling? Excuse me? Indie wrestling?

Yes, where skinny bois rip off their pre-scored Fraggle Rock tee-shirts (youth sizes, only) and try to plant their Saucony prints on each other's faces. And the gurls go crazy.

― Kris, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Answer me or I will curse.

it was diahann carroll who was singing to chewbacca's father. diahann really is like a star wars name too.

― fred solinger, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That sounds even more awesome than Grace Jones sitting on Chewbacca's father's lap.

With plenty of pictures, god help us. I remember seeing the original when it was broadcast, but all I remember about it are the Wookies, Jefferson Starship and Bea Arthur.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Which is all you need to remember to realize it is the best movie ever made.
