8 Ways WWE Have Screwed Up Baron Corbin
2. Changing His Badass Entrance Theme
It may seem like a minor detail, but a wrestler's ring entrance is actually a hugely important part of their presentation, and Corbin had one of the best in the company. The darkness, the spotlights, the slow, deliberate swagger: everything about it was perfect, and it was soundtracked by one of the most badass compositions CFO$ have ever put together.
'Superhuman' was an awesome track, and a great fit for 'The Lone Wolf.' Kicking off with a revving motorcycle engine, it soon transformed into a thunderous metal rhythm, before hitting full flow with pounding drums and a wailing, dissonant lead guitar line. It sounded like the apocalypse was approaching, basically.
As of 8 August, WWE have decided to strip Corbin of the song, and replace it with something infinitely more generic. Granted, we're still to hear the full version, but the early signs aren't good: the new song's orchestral intro lacks the motorcycle's punch, and the ensuing music doesn't sound half as powerful. It's a bland, cookie cutter developmental track at best, and definitely not something you should replace one of the most fitting themes in the company with.
