Orient Express Theme

[MrFlyersfan86]

round 1 fight!!

[MrFlyersfan86]

sounds like a stage in Street fighter 2.

[NThomp26]

I Ate Orient Express Last Week!

[youngbrolly6]

great now i want chinese food bad as shit right now

[cinderblok]

Just by looking at this pic and hearing this music, I can tell these guys were the baddest of bad asses

[noveltybobel]

This was pretty much every single japanese wrestlers theme in the WWF lol.

[martyboyish]

@noveltybobel but not taka michanoko if i spelt that right lmao

[Furinkazan20]

@martyboyish Michinoku. Don't worry, it's a common mistake unless you speak Japanese or you watch Japanese Pro Wrestlers 24/7 like I do, lol.

[WeizHerGigBuddy]

@noveltybobel that's the truth

[Furinkazan20]

@noveltybobel Nah, they did actually bother to give other Japanese Pro Wrestlers different themes like Hakushi who got a theme I think is called "Angel" and Taka Michinoku who got "Yamato Suite". It was WCW who was very guilty of sticking nearly all Japanese wrestlers with the same generic Japanese music. When WCW did that to Great Muta in 2000 that's when I was REALLY shaking my head...

[Will87]

@noveltybobel yep, but it's catchy

[kcphillyeagles]

Tanaka's mullet is something that should be worshipped...

[kcphillyeagles]

dude I really need to get a tshirt with the picture used in this video on it. I would wear it everywhere!

[smojo55106]

SALT IN THE EYES OF JANNETTY! Thanks for this.

[Frank59932]

a great tag team who dosnt have the success they earned....

[slapback68]

french name for a japanese TEAM!!!!

[TheBanjobongo]

used to love kato shame he never heard this theme much at the end of his matches seeing as he hardly won any!!!!

[21richkid]

Yokozuna should have use this theme, but he had his own theme. Its a sumo wrestler one.

[biffvonwrinkle]

yes the theme of EVERY japanese who wrestled in the wwf in the 90's

[Fanik10]

The Express and Bull Nakano are the only ones to use this theme

[QuentinDude]

this was bull nakano's WWF theme too

[21richkid]

This should be used for a Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese wrestler too if they have one.

[00RSZEX]

I was wrong. Steamboat and Ultimo shared a theme

[00RSZEX]

This was also Ricky Steamboat's as well for a time.

[PetrovIvanMartin]

If Yoshi Tatsu has a new look, this must be his theme

[21richkid]

Orient Express would been a stable led by Mr. Fuji if they brought them back to WWF in 1993. The members would be Yokozuna, Sato, Kato, Tanaka, and Fuji himself.

[kcphillyeagles]

@21richkid Didn't Fuji also have The Great Kabuki and Tenryu at one point in his stable?

[21richkid]

This should been the theme of Yokozuna, but Aja Kong used this theme.

[marshallsimon]

Bad Company from AWA.

[trekfanful]

@marshallsimon Actually that was version 2 of The Orient Express. Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond aka Max Moon aka Haito.

[marshallsimon]

@trekfanful oh sweet. ty

[slapback68]

im thinking why are they called the orient express i thought it was french

[carnal85]

It's a shame that Vince McMahon never pushed his Japanese and Asian/Pacific Islander wrestlers more during the 1980s and 1990s...Sato and Tanaka had great actual wrestling ability, which was a rarity back then - and even more so today.

[CHUUMPASS]

@carnal85 oh the islanders and asians had quite their spotlight during those days, they have always been a rich addition to the whole circus as i`d call it.

[Philipe0849]

worst theme, such stereo type song... Ugh... so wrong

[CHUUMPASS]

@Philipe0849 that`s all part of the fun, don't wtach it throught strict or even political lenses, wrestling is usually the most fun when it`s playing with such things and being not "politically correct" :) greets from germany

[QuentinDude]

get me some chicken fried rice now

[pendekar1111]

I think this might be the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers theme, just with out the singing and an asian sound. Play them back to back and see if they don't sound identical.

[NETRIPZ]

In the world of classic pro wrestling, all Asian wrestlers, whether from Japan, China, or Korea, throw salt, chop their opponents in the throat, and are unexplainably allied with each other

[MultiSinoda]

sneaky sneaky sneak sneak!!! : D

[TedTheodoreLoganEsqu]

Commodore 64 Sid chip music is AWESOME!!!!

[airwolfwwf]

this was on sonic 1

[SebKnowlton]

Play this theme and stare at Fuji. Try not to laugh. I dare you.

[TheMm858]

@SebKnowlton its impossible not to laugh.Fuji is so funny looking.I miss old wrestling

[LiveforChrist999]

@SebKnowlton I tried.And failed miserably.

[pooliothefoolio]

@SebKnowlton i didnt

[pooliothefoolio]

@SebKnowlton i didn't

[SebKnowlton]

@pooliothefoolio Then you sir, have a will stronger than mine and I salute you.

[pooliothefoolio]

@SebKnowlton and i subscribe you

[17NJDevilsfan]

@SebKnowlton I failed miserably at it LOL

[stufaman]

Thee were my favorite team in Master System Pro Wrestling.

[radicalman33]

i read a lot of comments saying these guys were underrated or should have had the tag belts. have you forgotten what wwf used to be like? they were a tag team taht beat all the jobber teams but would lose to top talent teams. they were used to get high profile face tag teams over. they were not underrated at all. they never got the belts because that was not their purpose. titles used mean something, not just passed round evey other ppv

[wrestlingluva]

open like 4 tabs of this, someone is good at snapping fingers!

[EnviousDominous]

Pat Tanaka was, I believe, Philipino. His tag team partner was actually a Croatian wrestler who's name I can't recall at the moment.

[barrettokarate]

@EnviousDominous I don’t know what his mother was but Pat Tanaka is second generation Japanese-American on his father’s side and was also a second generation wrestler. Tanaka was born in Texas and his father Hisao Tanaka was born in California.

His first partner Thomas Boric (“Paul Diamond” & “Kato“) was born in what was then Yugoslavia, but is now the sovereign state of Croatia.

[princesstamika]

@EnviousDominous Pat Tanaka's dad was a Japanese wrestler, Duke Keomuka.

[Pacmanknapp24]

You had Kato, and AWA's very own Pat Tanaka of the Diamond Exchange

legendary even tho it was short lived in the WWF

[xabamsar]

I swear I've seen a Chinese restaurant with that same logo

[TheDavmanTheSpy]

@xabamsar Japanese?

[CHUUMPASS]

@xabamsar probably that restaurant was "inspired" by that logo, since we know how many asians work at finding "ideas" LOL,

[CHUUMPASS]

it`s funny that "asians" and islanders would mostly be the heels, taking shortcuts to success and cheating their ways to the win.... sounds like a chinese specialty these days :D

[seikogoldwatch2009]

@xabamsar It's a typical Oriental font, asshole. It's not a logo.

[taiker1987]

I miss old days

[SpectacularSunset]

The most underrated tag team in WWE history.

[farnz11]

@fivebearrugs

They didnt feud with LOD at the Royal Rumble in 1991, they lost to the Rockers.

[UCKABAH]

where can I get this in MP3 format!?!

[MisterOldSchool1]

kung funaki's new theme

[peterathwal99]

this is cool,

[biffvonwrinkle]

any wrestler with asian descent used this in the 90's

[ant8tfive]

@biffvonwrinkle lol yea

[Tonfa4brutality]

I love this theme, really brings back memories. Didn't Bull Nakano also use this when she was in WWE?

Maybe Yoshi Tatsu and Gail Kim should form an alliance on RAW so they can come out to this music lol.

[fivebearrugs]

@Tonfa4brutality Yes, Bull Nakano used this music as well...and so did some guy name Omari (sp?) when he was the Token Japanese Wrestler at one of the late 90s/early 00s Royal Rumbles.

[BM5072]

@fivebearrugs 1996 Royal Rumble, lol.

[speed9399]

Man I would love to own an oriental restaurant...I would play this theme along with Yokozuna's theme over and over again on the loudspeaker...this takes me back to the good ole days of wrestling

[ShaolinDynasty]

I bet this would have been the Great Muta's theme if he came to WWE at the time....probably managed by Mr. Fuji.

[HollywoodKendrick]

Every Asian person had this theme.

[mmmikeyxx]

@HollywoodKendrick Lmao I just about to say the same thing.

[SirStoneyOfBow]

@HollywoodKendrick That's so very true. It's a generic masterpiece.

[TheVAChannel]

@HollywoodKendrick hahahahha yep!

[mohicanrebel]

Anyone know who Kato was?

[JasonL77]

@mohicanrebel Paul Daimond, Tanaka's old Badd Company tag team partner in the AWA. Vince forced him to wear the mask for reasons I just can't seem to put my finger on. (Note sarsasm)

[HollywoodKendrick]

@mohicanrebel Kato was Kato. He removed the mask after a certain period.

[blozier2006]

@mohicanrebel Kato was Paul Diamond. He and Pat Tanaka were also tag champions in the AWA

[mohicanrebel]

@blozier2006 Someone already answered my ? but thanks.

[Myrmidon1]

haha all asian wrestlers in pro wrestling history must have very distinctive asian themed music ....like including a big gong in the beginning.  they cannot have generic rock or metal or anything, must be asian-music

[fivebearrugs]

@Myrmidon1 And they must also be experts in "martial arts" and have the power to spray colored mist from their mouths :)

[yungmoneyD]

@Myrmidon1 Living proof that ppl in wrestling are racist!

[osaji922]

@Myrmidon1 Taka's music started out sounding asian but then kicked into a really cool rock theme

[slapback68]

from japan the orient expresssssssssssssss!!!!!!

[mohicanrebel]

This theme should of been the main theme in the movie "Big Trouble In Little China" lol. Seriously though

[mohicanrebel]

Sato was also Shinja for anybody that didnt know that. Shinja was Hakushi's Manager

[phREaker419]

This should have been Mr. Fuji's theme and Fuji's theme only! Not a billion others!

[Neiler187]

Most under rated tag team ever!

[sabman]

This was also the theme song of "the famous wild man from Japan" Omari!!!!!!!!!!

[rocker316ify]

Wasn't the guy on the right in the first 3 Ninjas movie?

[CurryGoi]

who ever made that picture: GREAT JOB MAN!

[Fanik8]

This is the best Asian theme that WWF/WWE has ever made. This theme rocks. They don't make themes like this anymore!!!

[WWFSuperstar22]

Kato is the only masked Wrestler ..I never did identify!!!!

[driller007]

@WWFSuperstar22 think its paul london

[cashpresley]

@driller007

it's Paul Diamond.

[driller007]

@cashpresley thats who i meant, silly me. your right

[cashpresley]

@WWFSuperstar22

it's Paul Diamond, Tanaka's partner from their AWA days. Diamond aslo took over Max Moon from Konan after he left WWF.

[ShaolinDynasty]

Awesome theme, reminds me so much of The Street Fighter games now days, this was a great tag team..

[SadisticScott]

wHAT'S IRONIC WAS THAT AKIO SATO WAS THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE ORIENT EXPRESS TO BE BORN IN JAPAN, LMAO. Pat Tanaka and Mr. Fuji were both born in Hawaii, and the replacement for Sato , Kato was Paul Diamond (a white guy from Canada) under a mask, LOL

[gunclap86]

*does the robot*

[TheAwesomeOne121]

I feel like doing some bruce lee shit to this.LMAO

[ToruKun1]

LMAO, this was once the de riguer AZN WRESTLER THEME.

I'm surprised Yoshitatsu doesn't use it. XD

[Goukimessatsu2]

BULL NAKANO!!!!

[Panorama1981]

Orient Express were a cool tag team, whether it was Kato or Sato with Tanaka, they were good.

[haarbal1997]

Who are the other guys next to Fuji?

[TheToughBrets]

@haarbal1997

The Orient Express- Pat Tanaka and Akio Sato

[krtzone]

LOL @ TheEroe1

[paokaisareth]

Not bad.

I say that is one of few good themes.

[rbthegame]

fuji sold the powers of pain to bring these guys in i think they won there first 5 matches and that was it straight loosing streak after that for about 5 years

[MAGNNUM]

every new Japanese wrestler was given this theme for a little while

[RNC200707]

Love the picture of Fuji with Sato and Tanaka...class

[tonshaad1230]

A recycled theme List of people who used this theme:

1. Orient Express

2. Bull Nakano

3. Some random jobbers in crappy attitude era

4.Taka Michinouki/Funkiu *I believe not sure*

[MaxL214]

Awesome Tag Team & Underrated! Too bad Sato left the team. no insult to Paul but did you notice them jobbing week in and week out after Sato left? Paul & Pat were Badd Company, but the best Orient Express was Sato & Tanaka!

[MINTY442]

they removed this song from the on demand and dvd sets bull

[TheEroe1]

When the Chinese take out guy shows up, I play this really loud.

[thephantomplatypus]

@TheEroe1

haha. i'll have to remember that the next time i order take out, lol.

[Bismarck3000]

@TheEroe1

holy shit that is hilarious. Pissed my pants.

[TheEroe1]

@Bismarck3000 Try it. Have some one ready to push play when the door opens. Make sure to start it with the opening gong!! I've gotten mixed reviews from delivery guys. Next time I'ma record and post so stay tuned to my channel in the next week or so!!

[Bismarck3000]

@TheEroe1

LOL I really need to see that.

[TheEroe1]

@Bismarck3000 Feel free to post 1 of you doing it. I wanna see 'em to. Fuck it why don't everyone do it. I'll be sure to post it immediately right after.

[dennnis2781]

@TheEroe1 LOL... what a bitch... but funny shit though.

[BaronMorte]

@TheEroe1 LOL

[KENCANADA1982]

@TheEroe1 HAHAHAHAHAHHA LOL LMAO YOUR FUCKING MESS UP FOR DOING THAT YOUR THE MAN

[mju1482]

@TheEroe1 Fuck yeah! I listen to this song when I workout lifting weights! Gets me going!

[Suriel1981]

@TheEroe1 Don't complain if he nails you with an Asiatic Thrust and then throws salt in your eyes!

[GotFiredFromDisney]

@TheEroe1  LMAO

[erodz555]

@TheEroe1 LMFAO!!!!



[Fanik8]

@TheEroe1 LMAO!!!

[pantherlax01]

@TheEroe1 hahahaahaha

[mohicanrebel]

@TheEroe1 LMAO does he look like Sato or Tanaka? lol

[MattSingh1]

@TheEroe1 Chinese?... oh, I get it, Chinese/Japanese, they're all the same!....(dunderhead)

[yungmoneyD]

@TheEroe1 That's an asshole move! LOL

[princesstamika]

@TheEroe1 Then Mr Fuji comes out of the bushes, pisses on your shoes and kills your dog.

[MetalEdge56]

@TheEroe1 But this song is Japanese lol

[Nate2764]

@TheEroe1 even though the Orient Express are Japanese...

[smthy77]

@TheEroe1 never has a comment on YouTube made me lol as much as yours. I think im gonna have to do the same when the chinese food is delivered! Thanks dude.

[JuggaloRLX1]

i love it

[QuentinDude]

this theme is really trippy i love it...i imagine myself doin some bruce lee karate shit on some people as i listen to this!

[Oldschoolhockey91]

These guys were very underrated, them and the Rockers had great matches, by far they had the best match at WM VI.

Loved this tag team, worked matches with the best of em. They should have had the belts at some point during their WWF stint.

[TheSteffen1223]

agreed

[jerzeyrunnerflash]

@Oldschoolhockey91 I agree. Ever notice how when you grow up, you realize that the guys who deserved the titles never got em? Orient Express, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, ect.

[whysoserious89]

@jerzeyrunnerflash Roddy Piper...but not disagreeing with you, just had to include the Rowdy one

[mr10tomidnight]

Smaller tag teams didn't have a chance .Let's face it do you think the Orient Express could have been able to match up with LOD,Haku and Andre The Giant,Demolition,sure they could hang with the Bushwackers,Rockers,Hart Foundation,and Power and Glory but those bigger teams?

[fivebearrugs]

@mr10tomidnight Actually Orient Express 2.0, Kato (Paul Diamond) and Tanaka, did feud with LOD. They lost of course, at the '91 Rumble. They would lose to the New Foundation (Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart) at the '92 Rumble. I think WM VI was the only PPV in which they actually won...

[mr10tomidnight]

@fivebearrugs I also remember a match on WWF Superstars where Orient Express fought against LOD in late 1990 and they were clearly OVERMATCHED.Demolition had to come out to do a run-in to save their hides.

[fivebearrugs]

@mr10tomidnight Actually, that match was a setup and was broadcast sometime after Survivor Series. Fuji kept beckoning to the curtain and here comes Ax, Smash & Crush to make it 5-on-2; it was the last match on that episode of Superstars so the copyright date was posted over the beating, lol. Jack Tunney then decided to make the Demos a 2-man team again and then he "fixed" the Orients' tights, which was the "kinda loose pants" look they had when Kato replaced Sato.

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

This theme is the best for a gook gimmick.

[Nickdapantydroppa]

Fuck you bitch, do you wanna die?

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

You ain't gonna do shit you fucking little wigger faggot loser. Do society a favor and hang yourself you nigger wannabee.

[chrstphrmlln]

they had a fucking shit hot match with the rockers at royal rumble '91.

[jojoe1878]

Tanaka was from Hawaii.

Kato (Paul Diamond) real name Thomas Boric. he is from Croatia

And Akio Sato is from Japan!

[jojoe1878]

These was ace! try and find there match against the Rockers. Royal Rumble 91. Was a good entertaining match

[tinkerthecat]

sounds like revenge of shinobi chinatown level

[JuggaloRLX1]

haha memories lol

[jobber25v]

lol funny theme

[Fireproofretz]

legendary theme

[sabman]

Many Japanese wrestlers used this theme. The Orient Express, Bull Nakano, and of course "Wild Man" Omari.

[Fanik8]

the theme IS Fooge the Stooge

[dansaint2249]

Kato was actually Paul Diamond. A Canadian wrestler. Tanaka and Diamond wrestled together in the AWA as Badd Company (managed by Diamond Dallas Page). Badd Company beat the Midnight Rockers in AWA to win the AWA Tag Titles and a few months later, The Rockers made their WWE debut

[Fanik8]

Pat Tanaka is a Japanese American but I don't know about Sato

[choice2099]

Akio Sato was a Japanese wrestler who trained and wrestled in America in the 70's and 80's. He had some brief stints with Baba's All Japan before going to the WWF to team with Tanaka. Apparently he retired after being the manager of Hakushi (Jinsei Shinsaki) in the mid-90's.

[RatedDAL]

@Fanik8 tanaka is from hawaii

[Fanik8]

if he was born after 1959 he's american

[jjschneider10]

i love this kind of music. great team

[MarioMetroidFan]

I just loved that team! Orient Express and Puroresu 4-ever!

[HollywoodKendrick]

These Guys were mean. Where did Mr. Fuji get all of his wrestlers?
