POWER, (n.) The capacity or ability to affect or influence the behavior of others, as defined by Oxford Dictionary. Therefore, when attempting to define a WWE theme song (entrance theme) as powerful, or indeed not, the question you have to ask yourself is: Does this song affect or influence me? Does it make me FEEL? because if it doesn't, it's not doing its job. Theme song entrances for wrestlers were popularised in the 1970s when the Fabulous Freebirds began to enter the arena for their bouts to the aptly chosen Lynyrd Skynyrd song Free Bird. It was frowned upon at the time, seen as a detriment to the seriousness of professional wrestling, which was still very much under Kayfabe's all-engulfing umbrella. Since then, it has long since become the norm for every individual talent or team to have their own unique entrance music. Some have been thoroughly original and diverse, whereas others have been so forgettable that, well... The job and purpose of a theme song is two-fold: 1) create the pop; the audience is conditioned to welcome the arrival of the upcoming star with the appropriate response and 2) excite the viewer and peak their enthusiasm for the match. The truth is that with so many talents in WWE today, it's not plausible nor possible for every one of them to have a theme song with power. One that grabs the audience's attention, affects them and causes them to emote. For those that do, whether it's with euphoria, awe, reverence or respect, they're here. These are the best on current exhibition. The 10 most powerful WWE theme songs heard today.
Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
