Hell, Luke Gallows' theme went through about a million different versions: St Valantines Day Massacre, Rebellion, Over The Edge 98, the Big Show/ Nicole Bass/Luke Gallows entrance version etc. Ezekiel Jackson's theme was just the Anthology Brawl for All theme with lyrics...Teddy Long's theme was just the WrestleMania 2000 theme with different lyrics... and tons of other examples.

My hot take is CFO$ and Jim Johnston are equally good. I think they have the same batting average in terms of memorable, enjoyable themes.

I disagree, Jim Johnston made mostly full tracks and had much better themes than CFO$. CFO$ didn't get the run that Jim had in terms of time so they obviously have less themes but a lot of them aren't really regarded in the same way Jim's were. Like people like Bill DeMott and Rico had themes people loved, you didn't really get that with CFO$; Lower end people got Vector cereal commercial background music as their theme (immediately thought of Shelton's terrible CFO$ theme when I typed that). I wish WWE would've used Stock music for more lower end people like they did in the past and only let CFO$ (and now Def Rebel) make themes for more intricate/established characters (also stop making everything a loop). Some stock music used in the past is quite memorable like "Loaded" for the Hardy Boyz or "Ollie Stalefish" for the Dudley's.

The difference between CFO/Def Rebel and Johnston is one thing, CFO and Rebel would go with whatever seems to be hip to listen to, modify it a little bit to somewhat feel a character the wrestler is supposedly. Johnston made huge research to get the character right, characters that were - at that time - very well defined. Quick example : Go listen to the two music of the Juraj Herz rendition of Beauty and the Beast by Petr Hapka, it is an incredibly gothic twist on the fairy tale, and you could hear Mankind's entrance and exit theme in both music (Beast's theme being Mankind's entrance, and Belle's theme being his exit one). Heck, he basically added an extra section to Chopin's Funeral March to make the Undertaker's theme. To CFO's credit, they did that as well, Samoa Joe has used Godzilla's intro music for himself, and his theme "Destroyer" is clearly taken from the score of "Godzilla vs Destoroyah" (hence the title of "Destroyer), but those were few and far between were Jim nearly did that on every wrestler and show he worked on. (He'd still be opportunistic, tho, the first SmackDown theme was him riding the coat tail of mumble rap, and Warrior's theme was ripping off the big guitar solo from Medieval Steel's song "Medieval Steel") But most importanatly, Jim's scores could be listened on their own, from Medal to It's Time all the way to Gold Lust (wich he considers his very best, and no wonder why), they're just masterpieces, you really need to love the wrestlers to like the CFO or Rebel music most of the time, or at least you cannot really listen to it outside of thinking of that wrestler. I'd listen to Gold Lust while drawing or doing exercice. Rebel's tracks are music made to force some stadium chants out of it, Johnston's track were made so the characters would exist even oustide of merely a match or a TV appearance, he treated them like archetypes that needed proper presentation to be "summoned".

I see many comments defending CFO$ for their Bobby Roode or Nakamura themes. Just comment that Jonston worked on the original version of Nakamura's theme before CFO$ took full control of the production, so, part of the credit for the theme goes to Johnston (and CFO$ of course). In the case of Roode, although it is credited to CFO$, Jim Johnston worked on some final fixes before its release.

Thank you so much for this video. It really showcases the importance oh how themes are can have a big impact on wrestlers whole presentation. Jim Johnston is really on top there but I really like CFO$ Toooo they did an amazing job with themes like (Naomi, AJ Styles, Paige, Lana) and more. But Def Rebel is just in needing of „it“ . They need to do more with vocals and less beats and trap type ish themes. I mean all themes are just sounding hip hopy. But they did an amazing job with themes Like : Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Liv Morgan (Nah Nah), Naomi, Cheslea Green, Piper Niven, Zelina Vega and more.

Listen to the difference in production between Jimmy J/CFO$ and def rebel when it comes to Corbin and Jey’s themes. Idk what it is, but the instrumentation on def rebel’s themes a lot of the time just sound “cheap” for whatever reason.

Corbin: Jim Lashley: CFO$ Bo: Def Rebel Cesaro: Def Rebel Gallows: Def Rebel (but CFO$ is almost as good) Naomi: CFO$ Seth: CFO$ (I would give it to Jim if he made a Seth solo theme) USOs: CFO$ (kinda unfair to Def Rebel cuz they just made their solo themes) Woods: Johnston (New Day theme is just goated) CFO$ wins imo but if Jim stayed to make the current themes he would for sure be on top of

@twichy12295 Ай бұрын

The way I imagine Def Rebel themes working is like when you're making and entrance on the games, and there's thos stock theme songs like "the patriot" "The movie star" "zombie" ect, like they just make a bunch of songs and production staff just picks one for the wrestler they need a song for, and occasionally a star like the usos will have one crafted for them

For me : -I bring the darkness -All mighty -Feared -Miracle (i'm french so hearing a superstar theme in my native language makes it special) -Omen in the sky -Glow -The second coming -Main event ish & Born a king (def rebel made 2 absolute BANGERS for the twins, absolutely LOVE them) -New day, new way Jim : 3 CFO$ : 2 Def rebel : 4 (5?)

@stefangrey Ай бұрын

The thing is, JJ rarely wrote an entire theme before he knew anything about the wrestler. Famously Nakamura's theme was originally going to be Roode's. CFO$ just wrote a bunch of music and then they tried to find someone to pair with it. The other thing was most of his best themes had that opening that told you who was coming out. Outside of a few, most of them all sound so generic and interchangeable.

@KaptainKarizzma Ай бұрын

This was my final tally. Was surprised they all tied. Also side note. All 3 themes for Lashley and Rollins are BANGERS! Jim Johnston - 3 CFO$ - 3 Def Rebel - 3

Agreed, although I think Bobby Lashley of all people isn't the best example. Better would be I think Cesaro which is a good theme but feels so weak compare to the other 2

These points when you break from song to song are so satisfying, it's so hard to get a break right but damn these are good. I really liked CFO$, then Jim, and then Def Rebel in the last. But Def Rebel has done some good stuff. Roman's theme is one of their best.
