This guy makes horrible remixes. Although the only one that i really liked was Christians theme. I mean this guy has nothing on Jim Johnston. He only keeps remixing old themes. Im not saying that Jim has ever remixed an original song, but this guy is not even trying to do something original. Abyss had a cool song i'll give him credit for that but everything else just sounds lazy. Maybe TNA should let their roster pick their own music like WWE guys do while Jim just gets paid to sit.
ill go far as to say i think Dale is still better, jim has made some good themes, but nowadays, his themes are nothing but dull boring and generic. using the same guitar sound (if he even uses a guitar) for every single theme
@tinkerthecat Jimmy and Dale are basically pure covers with a few exceptions. From my recollection, Johnston has covered only a few songs and even using famous bands to remake themes (Stone Cold, Kane, RVD)
You want to know why dale oliver makes so many shitty ass covers for tna? It's because he camed from a cover, according to wikipedia his band was backhawk a cover of blackhawk. It also really because it is just not in their budget to make really original awesome themes for all of their superstars. And dale oliver said that he gives wrestlers covers of theme that they used in the independents.
Christy Hemme's theme is a cover of ''What I Like About You''.. Traci's is a cover of ''Ragdoll'' by Aerosmith & ODB's first theme is a cover of Anerblin's ''Ready Feuls''
You forgot quite a few... Tomko used a ripoff of Vicarious by Tool. Monty Brown used a ripoff of "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed. Daniels used a ripoff of "Disposable Teens" by Marilyn Manson. The Spin Cycle theme intro is a ripoff of "Stinkfist" by Tool. There are several more, I'm sure...
jim johnson though made many more original themes than dale oliver and also oliver ripped off johnsons theme for stone cold steve austin for shark boy, is there any new songs that he has done since that are original.
A lot of the WWE themes when I used to watch were covers though. Nothing wrong with that. and ECW just used to straight up use the real themes most of the time. Sometimes they used covers.
Interesting. I never thought about it, but now that I do, it makes sense. What about My World forJarrett, Marvelous Me for Hall or Champion for Hennig? What about Slay Me for Sting or the LAX or MCMG themes? By the way, When they were The Dudley Boyz in WWE, they came out to Bombshell! Funny!
is it me? or do alot of wrestlers you More Human than human or have a cover of it? I was watching ROH on HDnet and Necro Butchers theme was basically the same as Chris Harris's theme? i started laughing
Yes, but knowing WWE, they'll just give him his old theme again. If not, they'll make a theme to keep their money (they have to pay the artist to use their song).
How about thinking of this: WHO THE FUCK CARES?
