From @joedSilence: Does theme music enhance a WWE superstar? If so, what WWE superstars need a change? I know Ambrose is def. one, but who else?
Absolutely it does! This is something I've definitely mentioned before. When I hear the theme song of a guy like Bray Wyatt I think that guy's a superstar because he's got this cool track with lyrics to it. I can totally get interested in a guy like that. With Dean Ambrose as well as Seth Rollins, it sounds like some generic song for a WWE video for "Superstar 4" in the create a wrestler mode. It's not like every wrestler needs a song with lyrics. There have been plenty of successful theme songs without words like the songs of Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Kane and others. The problem with what Ambrose & Rollins has is they're just too generic. One of my favorite wrestling songs ever was "Broken Dreams" for Drew McIntyre. It's a great track with lyrics that you could sing along with. It was memorable. The same can be said about a guy like Mark Henry, which is a totally different kind of song because it's rap. You'll never forget it, though. Most of my favorite wrestling songs have lyrics. Not all, though. It's just one of those things where the lyrics would really help a performer stand out.
