alphadraighon Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 What do you see/think of as the theme songs for your favorite C-Verse workers, events, TV shows, and so on? Here’s a list of some of mine. I tend to be geared towards heavy metal for wrestling themes, because I’ve always felt that the music should be loud and/or intense to get people’s attention. There are a few obvious exceptions, though. Nicky Champion (Heel) – “Champion” by Grinspoon Nicky Champion (Face) – “Prices of the Universe” by Queen Damon Oro/Enygma – “Year of the Phoenix” by Pyramaze Jay Chord – “The One You Love to Hate” by Rob Halford The Alliance (Nicky Champion, Damon Oro/Enygma, and Jay Chord; USPW) -“Alliance” by Samael Tommy Cornell – “Revolution” by Judas Priest The Syndicate – “Four Horsemen/War” By Judas Priest Alicia Strong – “Fists Fall” by Otep Vengeance – “Vengeance is Mine” by Alice Cooper Edd Stone – “The Outsider” by A Perfect Circle Danny Fonzarelli – “The Power of Love” (Frankie Goes to Hollywood Cover) By Oomph! Christian Faith (Face) – “Eternal” by Joy Division Christian Faith (Heel) – “Holy Martyr" by Iced Earth. Jim Force – “Can You Feel the Force” by The Real Thing (easily the most bizarre choice, but next time you hear this song, picture Jim Force strutting out to the ring with this blaring, and try not to laugh.) Big Smack Scott – “Lollipop Porn” by Crazy Town Tom “Angry” Gilmore – “Angry Again” by Megadeth I have a more complete list on my home computer (at work right now) that has my list of songs for events and TV shows; maybe I’ll post a little later.

Nedew Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I like to think that just as the wrestling world is fictional in the C-Verse, so is the music industry. So i imagine the theme songs to be songs that haven't been written by people who don't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Lyrium Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 USPW American Wrestling Theme: "Frontline" by Pillar Funnily enough, I've always used that as a theme tune for CZCW TV shows too. It just fits the wrestling TV show vibe so well... Also, for PSW or 4C, Violent Revolution by Kreator is a perfect TV show theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Some from my RIPW diary: Frank Fernandes: Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers (He is from California after all.) Jerry Martin: Psycho Killer by The Talking Heads (Because he is nuts.) Rudy Velasquez: How I Could Just Kill A Man by Cypress Hill Too Hot: Let Me Clear My Throat by DJ Kool (I was originally going to go with Too Hot Baby, if that is the name of the song, by Kool and the Gang but decided against it.) Jebediah: Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic (Was there really any other option?) The Young Braves (Running Wolf and Roger Monteiro aka Running Bear): Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden Leftie Wilkes: Dirty Water by The Standells (Because he is from Boston.) Desmond McGuinness (Edward Cornell): London Calling by The Clash (Oddly enough both James Casey and I use this song for Eddie so I guess that makes it his official theme song.)

Anggur Merah Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ron Greenhorn: a tie between no entrance music, the sound of someone dying, or fingernails on a chalkboard.

Irish Wolf Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Steve isn't that old...is he? I believe he's 42 in 2010 so he was born sometime in 1968. He's old enough to know the song and I really like for an old school babyface. Its got the catchy beginning that's perfect for bursting through the curtain.

alphadraighon Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I like to think that just as the wrestling world is fictional in the C-Verse, so is the music industry. So i imagine the theme songs to be songs that haven't been written by people who don't exist There are situations where I think the same thing. Anyone in the game whose profile mentions being involved with music I tend to just assume would do their own. I imagine Jack Bruce to be the type to perform his music live as a part of his entrance. Well, can't find my full list yet, but here's another batch. Bruce the Giant – “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult Steve Flash – “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica (mostly due to his tendency to work for several promotions at a time. Zeshin Mokioki – “The Real Folk Blues” by The Seatbelts w/ Mai Yamane (Don’t know why, but this song has always stuck out as fitting my internal image of him.) Chris Caufield – “Extreme Ways” by Moby Leper Messiah – “Leper Messiah” by Metallica (pretty obvious choice) Magnum Kobe – “Deep Impact (DJ Krush Remix)” by Dragon Ash Acid – “Toxicity” by System of a Down Doug Peak – “American Psycho” by My Ruin Eddie Peak – “Lose Control” by Drapht Remo – “B.E.A.S.T.” by Nekromantix Steve Frehley – “Fight” (2002 Summerslam theme song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpapa42 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Is Tommy Cornell's theme not canonically Breaking the Law? In regard to the original of Cornell, yes. I believe that's what Ryland indicated in his original e-fed character. But I don't know that its ever been indicated in any C-verse lore beyond that. Plus it could have changed since that point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberRaven Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Here's what I used for my old PSW diary: Alex Braun-"Run To The Hills" Iron Maiden Ant-Man- "War Pigs" Black Sabbath Dead Bolt- "Blackened" Metallica Evil Spirit- "Evil" by Mercyful Fate Ford Gumble-"Cowboys From Hell" Pantera Frankie Future-"Holiday In Cambodia" Dead Kennedys JD Morgan-"Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" Judas Priest Johnny Martin-"Tornado of Souls" Megadeth Marshall Dillon-"The Gunslinger" Demons & Wizards Nelson Callum-"Play With Me" Extreme Nomad- "Troubled Dreams" Testament Primal Rage- "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" Cradle of Filth Good Ol Boys- "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynrd Skyrnd (with a cover by a black metal band for their heel turn) Robbie Wright-"Kickstart My Heart" Motley Crue Steel-"War Pigs" Black Sabbath Tank Bradley-"Run To The Hills" Iron Maiden Teddy Powell-"Two Minuites To Midnight" Iron Maiden The Idaho Punisher-"The Punishment Due" Megadeth The Pilgrim-"Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard While he never made it in my diary, I also had Jim Force's theme as "Greenface" by Iced Earth. Soley for the incredibly badass line of "My warpaint the last thing my enemies see" Greenface works better for the New Wave, though. Also in my current game, I picture Jack Griffith using "On The Road Again" by Willie Nelson. Also Mutant and his stable uses "The Beautiful People" by Mailyn Manson. Irwin Gutmann used the English version of "Engel" by Rammstein, until his recent heelish persona came about and now he uses the original version.

D-Lyrium Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ron Greenhorn: a tie between no entrance music, the sound of someone dying, or fingernails on a chalkboard. I'd just have it be the sound of a toilet flushing. Oh, and Stratovarius' Soul of a Vagabond has to be SOMEBODY's entrance music. It's too entrancey not to. Nomad would fit, the way most people (including me) write for him. "Pack on my back I wander/Over mountains, across the seas/My yearning soul keeps roaming/In the endless search for peace" Kane or Abyss from the real world would fit perfectly. Also too good not to be used as entrance music: Edguy - Ministry of Saints. Dat intro~! Possibly a stable by the same name, or Christian Faith even (if he wasn't so intrinsically linked to Iron Man). Possibly the now-face John Greed in JC's SWF? Only problem is, unlike Soul of a Vagabond, when the lyrics cut in it kinda stops being an awesome entrance theme and becomes a song again. ¬_¬ But the first 50 seconds... Helloween - The Time Of The Oath would make a good entrance, too I reckon. Oh wait... too soon? ¬_¬ In all seriousness... The Machines? Or Shoot Club. Dead or alive, CV or not, the Benoit vibe from that song is unmistakable (for those wondering, it pre-dates Benoit's WWE theme by at least four years).

Qwertykid Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nomad is seen by me as the "Where the heck does this guy come from?" type of guy. I've given him "Chop Suey" by System of a Down, starting with an epic guitar solo. As for Soul of a Vagabond.... The Big Problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
