Why even have a theme song game when Will only likes like four songs in total? ;) Johnny totally needs Name that Tune for Brainbuster like yesterday. Johnny! Get on that shiz!

 

I am calling bullshit on this. I preferred when wrestlers came down to the ring to real songs, not in-house theme songs. That was my argument before JR got pissed off about it.

 

These are wrestling theme songs for me...

 

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

ELO- Rock N Roll is King

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust / We Will Rock You

Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You

George Thorogood- Bad to the Bone

ZZ Top - La Grange

Willie Nelson - Georgia on My Mind / Midnight Rider

 

I listed all of these on the show and more.

I guess "songs you'd listen to in your car" was the wrong approach, at least for Will considering his musical taste. I love the All Japan Women theme (Beautiful Challengers) but no way I'm going to listen to that in the car.

 

Real music in wrestling is always better than wrestling music because most of it sounds so corny, That's why whether it was AAA in the 90s, and even PRIDE or the UFC, promotions with real music always had better entrances.

 

I'm not sold at all on Smothers as a member of the New World Order - and I like him a lot. I like the idea of Scorpio there and Scorpio/Waltman as a tag team would have been great. Also disagree on Valentine being a good fit on the WWF stable... by then he already had the boring midcarder stink on him. Nevertheless his team with Pillman could have been fantastic to watch.

 

Fun show as always.

JR threw me for a loop with the NWO thing. I like Smothers for a few reasons. He had a shitty WWF run which plays into the storyline. He could go in he ring and was much better than someone like Buff Bagwell or Horace Hogan joining. He had a good physique and wouldn't look too much out of place. He could talk on the mic and could even do the shooty promos of the time that the NWO loved. If we are completely re-imagining the NWO, the thing that hurts him is he was never a star anywhere but SMW.

 

As for Valentine, the idea is to rehabilitate his career. The guy could still go. He could still kick ass.

Hey, I quite liked Bagwell at the time. He hadn't yet become unbearable and was a good hand during the Vicious & Delicious run.

 

I just think that back then Smothers already had the jobber stigma that somebody like Brad Armstrong also had. I think that back then people had longer memories and he wasn't that far removed from the Young Pistols run. I will also be selfish and say that he'd have made a lot more money in the last 20 years but then we would have never had the FBI in ECW.

 

Poor Greg. Of all the great tag team partners he could have had in the late 80s he was stuck with Bruti and Honky.

On theme songs... also gotta give props to "Badstreet USA" which I mentioned on the podcast... best wrestling-centric theme song of all-time and nothing else comes close.

 

I can see resistance to Smothers in the NWO but I think when you look at the people that JR or Dan listed on the show, he doesn't seem like a bad choice in comparison. He would have been a perfect fit for the Rednecks in 1999 beating up Master P's crew.
