 What's good Josh boros back again with another video so I'm gonna check out the biggest WWE entrance theme downgrades now We've seen some downgrades of some wrestler theme music Me personally one of my favorite Wrestling theme music is a canes his old theme music and when he turns sadistic and lost his hair y'all know if you know me that's like one of my favorite wrestling theme music and I Don't know what happened. I'm not sure if they I'm not sure if they wanted to I'm sure it had something to do with money and rights Or whatnot, but Then they changed it to like his old theme But it it wasn't as good as his original theme when he first came out as Kane and it just I don't know It it didn't hit the same it did not hit the same and you kind of have seen that not just with him That's just an example. I can think about the top of my head But there's other wrestlers where you feel like their theme music was better at some point And then it kind of fell off a cliff like DIYs theme music. I'm not a big fan of it Johnny Gargano's new theme music. I like I preferred it better in NXT and His new theme music before he you know, they joined you know, did the DIY thing again I don't know it is it's not the same. So I don't know man It's just one of those type of things where I do feel like WWE's cut made some shortcuts when it comes to Their wrestlers theme music is at one point. It used to be like soon as you heard it You know, I know who's coming out and you know, oh man You kind of felt some type of excitement now if you don't watch the shows regularly You really don't know who the hell's coming out until you see them outside of the the main stars and stuff like that So let's see which ones he has on this list Appreciate all love support took already enough on this intro. Let's get right into this man I think theme songs over the years and when WWE decides to change them It really doesn't get a good response from the fans. No join us now as wrestling me looks at 10 entrance themes that were total downgrades Subscribe to wrestling me if you haven't already linked to the video will be down below in the description I've been hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos number 10 Keith Lee limitless to generic job Lee's limitless theme song was good would be an understatement a word theme song was majestic epic and created an instant sense of excitement from fans Yeah, it worked Unfortunately when Lee was infamously called up to the main roster limitless was scrapped in favor of a song that fans quickly labeled as a generic job of theme song Here The song gave Lee no aura and it's hardly a surprise that his main roster push went absolutely nowhere It's reported that WWE weren't permitted to use limitless due to their deal with CFOs coming to an end Yet this did a little to justify why WWE produced such a lackluster theme song for a wrestler Who was supposed to be one of the future stars of the company? Yeah, WWE would eventually introduce yet another theme for Lee and this would be called born to bring it However, by the time Lee debuted the theme WWE had already seemingly given up on the ones promising star Number nine the British Bulldog rule Britannia to Bulldog I when the British Bulldog returned to WWE in 1999 The company was in a completely different place in terms of how their product was presented The attitude era was underway and the Bulldog's prior gimmick and presentation would have fallen flat immediately in this new era WWE would smartly give Bulldog a new theme song. However, instead of the classic rule Britannia Bulldog would now use a metal sounding song that was completely lifeless and was arguably one of the most unmemorable theme songs of the entire attitude era Yeah, that's definitely generic Most interesting about this new theme song was that it featured a Bulldog barking at the start However, outside of this this theme song wasn't representative of anyone who was going to be a major player in one of the most popular errors in WWE history Number eight Carlito cool to bad Apple. Yeah His old theme song worked it fit Yeah, that's that yeah, this deserves to be on the list a former US and Intercontinental champion Carlito made his highly anticipated return to WWE at the 2023 fast lane event while it's great to have Carlito back in the WWE There was immediate criticism because WWE had changed this theme song. I spit in the face. Yeah, this word This it worked It was first theme in WWE was symbolic of everything the Carlito character represented yet His new theme titled bad Apple was lifeless and rather dull It's it's not bad But it's not as good as the other one like I it's okay. It has, you know, different similar vibes I wouldn't say it's bad, but At the same time, it's not as good as his original theme song So it wasn't just the WWE fans who weren't a fan of the bad Apple theme as Carlito himself had this to say during an Appearance on the ring is cheap heat podcast. Yeah a little bit. They ran it by me. I wasn't they wanted to change it I wasn't crazy about change it. I like everyone else wanted to keep it I like it the way it was, but you know, they said, you know, we want to change what I saw, right? Let's let's see what we can do and I they asked it for my input here and there I'd say not that you know, they give me like a fix. I think it's a little more base here Thanks more drums little things like that and then the the lines I wanted to change if I didn't want the old lines from before And then it's it's like I said wasn't crazy about it But it also I found ourselves like one of those earworms where I'd be humming it to myself during the day You know because they they said it to you listen to the hot thousand times And then I'd find myself just humming it here without even noticing so I'm like that too I'm not crazy about change, but I think I think it's something that needed to be done And you know just to something you know with a fresh coat of paint on everything number seven stone cold Yeah, it wasn't like I said, it's not bad It fits still to his character that they're trying to portray And back then he was a heel. So Obviously they had to switch it up in a in a bit, but I mean you still could have worked with it. I would have preferred his other theme Maybe a modernize it just a little bit, but the the intro are spinning the face The people who don't want to be cool. You can still roll roll with that even if they he is a baby face I don't know that one's not as bad. Steve Austin glass shatters to venom A wwe decided to change stone cold steam song in 2000 was a very risky move Austin's theme song was iconic and it could have led to severe backlash If the new theme wasn't up to the same standard Plastic right here Luckily the new theme from disturbed was arguably Austin's most beloved theme song The new theme kept the glass shatter at the start yet the track now featured strong lyrics that perfectly represented Austin's character and a no-nonsense attitude when Austin turned heel and became a member of the wcw ecw alliance in 2001 He would ditch the disturbed theme in favor of a lazily produced track I think I do remember this, bro I think I do vaguely remember this No This was awful. I think I do remember this, bro Ah, bro, he brought back a horrible memory No, this is awful This is awful Oh my god I'm glad I I put this in the back of my memory Jesus The theme song was titled venom and it was just a complete step down compared to what came prior Did the theme song suit the supposedly paranoid leader of the alliance? Well, that's up for debate Yet fans don't exactly have fond memories of Austin's time using the venom theme song Yeah, number six Stephanie McMahon all grown up to welcome to the kingdom Stephanie McMahon's first two theme songs in wwe were certified hits A version of my time and then all grown up were tremendous theme songs that were exactly what McMahon's character at the time needed I remember this, yeah However, McMahon eventually decided to ditch the all grown up theme and in 2013 she debuted a theme song titled welcome to the kingdom This new theme was supposedly an indication that this was a new superior version of McMahon Yet the theme song didn't have the same energy as the new grown up The new theme song was definitely a more mature theme and it may have been out of place for McMahon to still use all grown up However, they could have delivered something more memorable for a figure who was such a prominent fixture on tv at the time Number five. Shameless written in my face to hellfire Shameless is written in my face theme is considered to be one of the most underrated theme songs of the pg era Yep It worked for him wwe managed to hit shameless's first ever theme song out of the park Yeah, it worked hardly a surprise that fans for the past eight years have been urging wwe to bring the classic theme song back Shameless would get a new theme in 2015 and his theme was titled hellfire This wasn't bad in my team is it remotely bad as it almost below written in my face in terms of production quality Yet the consensus from the wwe fan base is that written in my face was a better fit for the former wwe champion He's admitted in numerous interviews that he wants to bring back his all theme And that would be cool during an interview with inside the ropes. I definitely would love to bring that song back Yeah, before I know it was it was it was stopped. They weren't gonna let me have it Because it was past but it's amazing what a song can do or entrance music can do to bring people back in that Nostalgia vibe. I definitely will keep pushing to have that song back. Hopefully you can And uh, it's something that I haven't given up on but I think there'll be a time and place for that to come back And I wonder if he gonna have Drew McIntyre here I wonder if he's gonna have Drew McIntyre old theme song in here on the list because it definitely deserves to be on there Compared to the one he has now it's uh, it's okay. But his other ones his other one Nah, Drew's other theme that one rocked before baron corbin I bring the darkness to get ready ready I bring the darkness was produced by the master of wwe themes jim johnson And the theme is notable for being the last ever wwe theme produced by the acclaimed artist The theme song itself is universally liked by the front and base and it gave corbin an instant presence when the song Yeah Yeah, that sounds that sound like it worked man. He eventually gave him a theme song title to get ready ready And this was just this was just generic bull crap It was awful. As soon as you heard this theme song, you just uh But if you had baron's old theme song, it probably Okay, baron's about to come out here Oh, geez man wwe in that cheapness The theme song was supposed to represent corbin winning big in las vegas and wwe took a rather liberal approach to the theme song The theme song starts with a slot machine jiggle and then the rest of the theme sounds like an arcade The theme song was heavily panned by fans and it currently has over 1200 dislikes on wwe's youtube channel Since returning to nxt in 2023 corbin has debuted a new theme song title burn the ships Which is a vast improvement and hopefully the get ready ready theme will never be heard on wwe programming ever again Hopefully number three rikishi you look fly today to bad man Upon turning hill in 2000 it became apparent that rikishi's widely popular theme song That he would use for the member of too cool would no longer work You look fly today was a fun theme song that made fans get up on their feet and dance Mmm. Hey, that's a classic one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but rikishi now Couldn't use that no more a new theme was needed with immediate effect Rikishi would debut a theme known as bad man and whilst it's not the worst thing in the world It was a disappointing theme that failed to represent rikishi as a main event talent Yeah, it's not bad It's not bad But I get why they changed it. He was a hill You know, so he kind of has to change it up, but it wasn't it was the other ones better for sure, but It's not bad bad A lot of things went wrong with rikishi's hill 10 in 2000 and the theme song was a significant factor In why the presentation of a hill rikishi just didn't work Number two drew mech entire. Here we go dreams. Yeah, broken dreams Yeah When Drew McIntyre re-signed in wwe in 2017 his broken dreams theme was nowhere to be found Instead he would use the theme known as gallantry I mean It's cool, but it ain't broken dreams, you know It took some time for the fans to get used to the theme and although the theme is passable for McIntyre There has been an increasing demand to see McIntyre revert to broken dreams McIntyre himself is fully aware just how popular the theme song is and he's been pushing to bring the theme back full time It looks like wwe has no plans at this stage to make the change But at the 2022 clash at the castle event McIntyre would bring the theme back for his introduction in the main event This was the last time it was used on wwe programming today. It was it was definitely cool. Don't call me Kane slow chemical Yes I'm glad this was number one. It had to be I said it at the beginning of the video Oh When kane went heel truly heel and evil that slow chemical Oh my god, oh So glad this is number one. It makes sense This is that theme music His original one was good. It fit him. But when they took the mask off Slow chemical was him. It was soon as you heard Heard the music and you saw the flames you knew business had picked up and then when he Went to corporate kane or whatever They kind of changed it back to some generic stuff. And then when you put the mask back on it It was it wasn't good. It didn't hit like it used to man Considered one of the most popular theme songs. Yes 25 years. Yes Slow chemical is sung by finger 11 and the idea of kane having a theme song with lyrics seems like a strange concept But it worked. It worked amazingly. Oh my god without question. One of the most iconic theme songs. Yes Oh They made the call to drop the theme song after six years And there was negative backlash upon wwe making the change His new theme would be titled man on fire and it would be a rework of kane's original theme. Yep The new theme wasn't a total stinker yet. There was no logical reason to make the change Yes, just appeared that wwe wanted to cut costs and produce an in-house theme song. Yes So annoying. They have it folks 10 of the worst and instead of ventz Putting money into these damn theme songs. He's putting money other places Spending 14 million dollars in other places I'm not gonna talk about that. You know, you know Because it's spent that money 14 plus or however it was was of the company money that he's trying to Keep people hush hush about what was going on He should have used that however 14 plus million whatever it was To keeping these rights to these songs Because the wrestlers only is good sometime as his damn interest mean interest music Ah Comment down below.
