How about themes they shouldn't of used. When they used the Forceable Entry music, I thought it was stupid. Austin with Disturbed just didn't seem to fit. Taker with Rollin. Sevendust performing Break The Walls Down. I hated that era of wrestling in general. I did like the Rob Zombie song even though I hated Edge.

I thought all of Mr. Kennedy's remixed themes absolutely sucked compared to the original.
Too Cool. One of the most over teams when WWE was rolling in 2000. "You Look Fly Today" was a perfect tune for them and holy crap did I despise it when they started using "Turn It Up." Hated that one with a passion.
Most of The Rock's themes all paled in comparison to the one he had at the end of 1998 in between his run in the Nation and the Corporation. I'm pretty sure it was on the "WWE: Volume 3" CD. That theme was the greatest! "The Rock's Laying the Smackdown... Ha!" It blended that Nation tune with some sweet electric guitar riffs. Every theme after that sucked in my opinion.
I have no idea why they felt the need to tweak Bret Hart's song when he returned in 2010. Some things should just be left alone.
As absolutely classic as Demolition's original theme was, I thought the heel theme they used when it was just Smash and Crush was pretty creepy.
"Time to Play the Game" by Motorhead is such a badass song. I love it. However, I just always loved "My Time" and felt like it fit HHH perfectly. He was at his absolute best when he was using that theme.
The remix that they gave the British Bulldog when he came back in 1999 was trash. Some barking dogs followed by a generic heel theme that just didn't fit Davey at all. Garbage.
The updated theme they gave to Owen in 1997. Don't hate it necessarily. Just was sad to see the original song be replaced. That theme WAS Owen.
Oh, and Doink. That heel theme is some of the best from that era. When it went to an all-out circus tune you might as well have just killed the clown right then and there.

Punks theme was soooo god awful...Cult of Personality was so much better and the lyrics fit him and the time he was having in WWE oh so well. No Kane theme should ever have singing in it...EVER! The theme wasnt terrible but jesus you dont give Kane some sorry ass lyrics and expect people to think "Oh crap this guy is a monster" While Ill always love Real American, it didnt fit in 2002...but El Oh ing El not knowing Voodoo Child debuted in WCW during his nWo run...more specifically I believe it was Rodman's theme when he was running with Hogan and then Hogan kept it Cult of Personality is overrated, Slow chemical is awesome, and Voodoo Child sucked plus when he had it in the WWF after the face turn it didn't fit.

I thought all the Rock's themes (except for the hollywood rock theme) were good, the '98 rock theme is alright but not as good as his 2001 theme. Yeah I hated that they did that to Bret's theme. And "My Time" just makes me go.............

Austin with Disturbed just didn't seem to fit. Taker with Rollin. Sevendust performing Break The Walls Down. If they just kept the instrumental of Disturbed I think it would've been better but I still like it. Hated Rollin as well as his gimmick, was that in '08 when Stevendust performed it?

I like the Austin remix by Disturbed, but as a song not as entrance music if that makes any sense, haha.

A few come to mind, I know some were probably due to copyright issues but nonetheless...
— When Austin changed from his Disturbed theme to the slowed down Alliance theme, I freakin loved Glass Shatters.
— When Taker changed from Kid Rock's ABA to Limp Bizkit's Rollin. I absolutely hated that theme. It was like someone said hey Taker rides a motorcycle and we have this song that totally makes sense because they sing about "Rollin" so naturally we need to make that his theme.
— When Edge changed from Rob Zombie back to his original theme, just seemed like a complete step back.
— When Kane went from Slow Chemical to that instrumental crap in 2008.
— When Goldberg went from Invasion to Crush em, just didn't fit him and was nowhere near as iconic.

I never understood the love for Slow Chemical. Everytime I hear it I'm reminded of Kane's unmasked run and it didn't fit his character at all. Kane should never have music with lyrics in it.
His 2008 theme wasn't perfect but it was close to what music you would expect Kane to have.

The Forceable Entry CD came out in 2002 which had the Sevendust performance of Break The Walls Down. Some other themes I liked off the top of my head: Kane's First theme. Lex Luger's Third WWF Theme. I also liked when it was remixed with Bulldogs for the Allied Powers Theme. Owen Hart's "Prince" sounding theme was amazing. It started with drums and then got funky. Eddie Guerrero's WCW theme I liked over anything he would use in WWF. I get that he couldn't use a WCW theme in WWF, just wanted to mention it. Mankind's first in the WWF. I'm a sucker for piano so when he used it for his exit, it was brilliant. Takers second theme in the WWF. Christian's Just Close Your Eyes theme by Waterproof Blonde. Trish Stratus Emergency theme. The same as T&A. Awesome generic guitar. I don't like Whiplash theme.

Don't get me wrong it's a nice song but it just reminds me of his horrible unmasked run.

Cult of Personality is overrated, Slow chemical is awesome, and Voodoo Child sucked plus when he had it in the WWF after the face turn it didn't fit. So basically you're a "my opinion is the only opinion that's right" type person....Well this thread is doomed then. I thought "Voodoo Child" was a pretty good fit for "Hollywood" Hogan. It looked cool as hell when Hogan would start playing air guitar on the belt with Jimi shredding on the speakers. It helped further evolve that heel persona. "Real American" is an iconic song, but I thought it fit better during his "farewell tours" in WWE from 2005 through 2015. Still, "Voodoo Child" worked for me when he went on that Hulkamania nostalgia run in 2002. I liked both "Cult of Personality" and "This Fire Burns" for CM Punk. Two totally different genres of music though. Apples and oranges. As for Kane, I really liked "Slow Chemical" when he first debuted with it. That was when he returned in 2002 in awesome shape with the new open-mouth mask. The new theme worked with the revamped character so I was all for it. That version of Kane definitely deserved a run with the World title. After he lost the mask, however, my interest in Kane and that theme hit the skids. He was supposed to look scary and deformed, but instead he just looked like a giant baby. Much more intimidating and scary with the mask. Then he started to pack on the pounds again. I don't think I've been really interested in the character ever since he lost the mask almost 15 years ago.

Was that not the same as his original theme minus the intro? Nope different (but similar) song. The original is called "Burned" and sounds more "80's/90's" sounding while Out of the Fire is more modern/heavy sounding and has a few elements that the older version doesn't. Have a listen: Burned: Out of the Fire: This one should of been used

Kane should’ve kept Slow Chemical. Loved that theme. Edge should’ve kept Never Gonna Stop Me but Metalingus is great too. Dudley Boyz should’ve continued using Ollie Stalefish. Orton should’ve kept Burn In My Light.

Very unpopular opinion, but I hated any and every version of the X-Factor theme.
