Awesome thread. Two thoughts
1. WWF consistently dominated this area when it came to WCW/NWA. Just no comparison. So many amazing themes for their characters.
2. Wrestlers that didn't have entrance music seems so strange looking back now. Like what were they thinking? The right music is one of those things that can enhance ANY character so I don't buy that not having an entrance theme fit the character. Bad News Brown for example may seem logical to not have a theme but music could've fit even him.

Valentine's theme is a JAM Like you said, it was the only good thing about him as babyface. Greg himself preferred heel and even though he would slap a few fans hands he was not really face material at that time. He was a great talent but couldn't make it work. I love hearing his son go on and on at Wrestlemania VII even though we have to see the celebrities. I'd rather have seen Greg.
What sucks about him and the theme is that WWF didn't keep it for him when he returned for the Flair tribute. He came out to some generic music that was very similar to what WCW would put a guy with. WWE would sometimes change themes when guys would return like Skinner getting a different one even though it fit just as well, his 1991 theme was good too. I also hated Brian Christopher on his last WWE appearance coming out to the 2nd Too Cool theme with no fan reaction. It's a shame that was his last appearance. That theme sucked to me but the first theme was very up beat.
I also wonder why Power and Glory and Warlord didn't use Slick's theme. IIRC P&G used it once or maybe a few times but after that it was abandoned. I know it doesn't fit all 3 guys but it didn't really fit Bossman as a single with Slick.

Vader was a few years too soon. It would have amazing seen Vader in late 1990s WWF doing some the high flying movies for a guy his size and maybe doing some hardcore matches.

Playing catch up here!
I had no idea Heenan had an entrance theme. Very fitting for him.
The Mountie’s theme is pretty good but not a patch on his 2nd theme (and neither comes close to All-American Boys - which ended up being my top played tune of 2020 on Spotify!).
I’m hopeless at posting video’s but if someone were to post Al Snow’s heel music from early 2000’s (I think), I wouldn’t be opposed.

I would like to add Big Boss Man theme Great theme and while not heel worthy it was extremely disappointing in 98 when he returned with whatever generic garbage entrance that he had was.

WCW over WWF all the way here Sounds like they remixed their WWF theme and rapped over it horribly.

Another gem and my fav Horsemen theme It was funny when they kept playing that theme during the NWO parody of Arn Anderson's retirement.

I love Arn's 1995 singles theme. It just fits him so much, he truly believes he is going into a battle with his matches and that is like a battle theme for a guy like Arn.
I have always wondered though, is the WWE Horsemen theme (the HOF and DVD version) a theme actually used by WCW or was it made by WWE? I know they play it on the DVD portion for the last time the Horsemen were together in WCW and it seems pretty clean unlike most WWE dubs I don't remember it from the original days of WCW. Maybe it was made specifically for that show. But I've wondered that and no one seems to be able to tell for sure. I really can't see WWE letting the Horsemen keep a WCW theme, I see WWE wanting to make one specifically for them.

Another gem and my fav Horsemen theme Great theme. Didn't this also have a version with the sound of horses running at the beginning?
