Modern wrestling is so soulless. It's weird too since you'd think they would want to hide how boring everyone is and go harder with the smoke and mirrors but they went opposite and stripped it all back. So fucking cringe.

They think it's better this way because everything today is about BRANDING. They want names and logos plastered everywhere. Indeed the very definition of soulless. Sad.

This.

And why is neat every new entrance theme so dimeless and forgettable? Even when someone manages to defy the odds and get a good theme that gets over, WWE changes it to something shit. See: Nakamura's original theme vs the one he has now, or same for Ciampa's NXT theme versus the random shit he has now.

Only the top guys are allowed to have decent themes, like Roman or Brock. I assume this is to keep any miscarders from overshadowing the top talent, but WWE never had to do this in the past. Miscarders could have dimes themes that popped the crowd, and it didn't take any heat from the top guys.

I remember a decade ago when even lower card talent like Zack Ryder, Evan Bourne and Heath Slater got catchy themes and entrance videos, now everyone just gets a boring, forgettable 1 minute loop of generic shit and no video. I wouldn’t have even gotten into wrestling if it was as soulless then as it is now.

Yeah, bad example. Still it's true that most entrance themes are trash now, aside from a few exceptions. That was not the case years ago.

Are you guys autistic? I was literally just naming an example. My post does not live or die based on one example.

Nearly every wrestler in WWE has a forgettable theme, unless they're a top guy. Just 10 years ago nearly everyone up and down the card had memorable, and often good, entrance themes. Or go back like 20 years ago and you'll note that even lower card wrestlers on Heat had bangers. Remember Steve Blackman's theme? Al Snow? The Godfather? Too Cool? These guys weren't sniffing the top titles. What the fuck happened?

You claiming they aren't letting these people get over, it's retarded headcanon. Main reason these themes suck is because they got rid of jim johnson and because these indie shitters have no characters to make music of.

They need another Jim Johnston. Or stop being so cheap by using real licensed music instead of royalty-free soundalikes from google.
That's just the first step of many.

Yes. Also, wrestlers need actual good songs to help them get over. Someone could have a shit look, but they might have an awesome song, and people will remember the song, and thus the wrestler. I mean, MJF's song is a literal royalty-free background song from YouTube.

I was just speculating to stoke conversation. I agree with you that Jim Johnson being fired is why they suck, but that doesn't explain why he was fired and/or why another capable in-house musician wasn't hired. WWE spends so much money on production, yet they refuse to for music? I don't understand it.

Eh, depends. 80% of the roster, they didn't bother to make a good one, just some graphics and the same 3-4 clips of them wrestling. It's really the same these days with the big screens. They cover all that space, and 80% of the roster has a painfully generic graphic that someone at Full Sail probably made.

The Ascension had the last truly great tron:

Remember when Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel were a goofy tag team that suddenly became #1 contenders, then defeated Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt? Remember how they had a cool theme about remember your fights and growing stronger due to your battlescars? And then remember how organically over they were?

Then they were given this and fell off the Earth immediately.
