Every WWE Raw Intro Ranked – From Worst To Best
17. 2009
Back to some of the more recent generations of Raw intros
now as we arrive at a series of examples from the late 2000s. This one in particular was from 2009 and was the worst of the period in my eyes.
The soundtrack was now provided by Papa Roach with their tune “…To Be Loved,” which wasn’t necessarily a bad song. Here the issue lay with the visual component, and specifically the use of skylines.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good image of a cityscape. Just not when we’re getting close to a dozen flash across the screen in the space of two or three seconds, and especially not when they become the focal point of the entire clip.
Even when we got glimpses of the action, it was framed by these images of city skylines and in some cases completely overshadowed by them. I’m not sure about you, but that’s not really going to get me hyped up for watching a wrestling show.
