>Kanye dropped Graduation in 2007 >"Let's have the theme for WrestleMania be some shitty rock band no one cares about"Has WWE always been 5 years behind current trends?
>>18912023Wrestling and nu-metal/butt rock are a perfect mix. Hip hop and rap aren’t music btw
>>18912023Imagine being a zoomer sad enough to larp as a late millenial. Nigga that's the year Guitar Hero blew up.
>>18912039>Hip hop and rap aren’t music btw
Kanye dropped "Nigga Heil Hitler" in 2025. When's that gonna be a WrestleMania theme?
>>18912023nobody gave a shit about kanye until he began a meme
Saliva is not literal who tier, but yeah it was retarded to use a song of them in fucking 2007. They hadn't been relevant since 2002.>>18912097Kanye literally outsold 50 Cent at that time.
>>18912039It is fascinating how only in the mixmash the wrestler and the into music really blend, I noticed that classical also used every instrument and every loud startIs on the grandiose of the band that matches the wrestler presence
>>18912420>Kanye literally outsold 50 Cent at that time.That was the day pop culture died
>>18912439….what
>>18912444Meh early kanye was flashy and fresh from katrina
>>18912444>That was the day gangsta rap diedAnd that’s a good thing
>>18912508>That was the day gangsta rap diedNot really. Jeezy and Gucci Mane became huge and trap/Dirty South rap is basically just the southern version of gangsta rap and Kanye did a lot of collabs with Jeezy.
>>18912023This would have been the greatest Wrestlemania ever if Shawn won the belt
>>18912081That's true, you can post a dead fat guy all you want but it doesn't prove that statement wrong
>>18912444Ok boom boom
>>18912023
>>18912023The year before it was Peter Gabriel with an 80s song.
>>18912097Kanye was literally a big name before his first album even released. Slow Jamz charted first place in the Billboard Hot 100.
they're yeeting in 2025. a meme from 2013 (that WWE didn't even start doing until 2022)
>>18912083Still the funniest shithttps://youtu.be/oDuxP2vnWNk
>>18912023Graduation didnt come out for another six months you fucking retard
>>18912023Wrestling was always behind the times. Look up any early to mid 90s show (besides ECW) and they all have 80s synth rock on them.
>>18913522I still wonder how the fuck this managed to catch on. The audience should have rolled their eyes and cringed at an ancient meme that no one was using anymore being forced as a gimmick.
>>18913636I was talking about the state of the music industry at the time in general, dumbass.
>>18913818they don't call 'em edrone pigs for nothing
>>18912097this is like when people admitted they hadn’t heard of bad bunny kek
>>18913818The hand motion wasn't part of the OG yeet meme. It's called evolution, something your troglodyte ass doesn't know anything about
>>18913881>ZOMGZ YOU DON'T KNOW BAD BUNNY!!??!?! I HAVE A MEXICAN FRIEND ABOLISH ICE CHUD!!!
>>18912023Thank You President Trump
>>18913940Chudlie's still dead and will never be alive again
>>18914265The less zioshills the better
>>18912081>load up popular rap>skibili wibbly skibidi wibbly>woop!it was sort of music 10 years ago. what happened?
>>18914582Zoomers and Gen Alpha only care about le heckin vibes of the music now, that means repetition of a few lines in a weird shitty voice over an overproduced beat. The producers now do all the work while the rappers are literal retards just making noises. Like I'm not one of those old fucks who say that rap always has to be lyrical, but it should have at least some substance to it and contain actual rapping. That rage shit is the worst shit to ever happen to rap. It all started with that corny faggot Playboi Carti when he began dressing like a vampire and doing his stupid baby voice.
>>18912023I genuinely, honestly thought Trump was Mae Young from the thumbnail.
>>18914692>only care about le heckin vibes of the music nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gqZeIMO7bo do they know musicians make "vibes" music?
Name one example of where black music was effectively paired with wrestling (outside of being a theme for a black wrestler)
>>18912039nigga what the fuck is Limp Bizkit if not hip-hop/rap?
>>18913818kids, who probably weren’t even born in 2014, love the yeet shit
>>18918379Some of the rap music on the Smackdown vs Raw games is great and fits very well
Vince didn't know what Scarface was in 1992 (Summer)>>18918379Rock n Wrestling
WELCOME TO THE SHOOOOWPLEASE COME INSIIIIDELADIES AND GENTLEMEN
>>18913940Nice selfie but the point still stands
>>18913881still don’t know who the fuck that is. pop culture isn’t a thing in the internet age
>>18912023Somebody explain to me why Kanye is a "genius" because I've been hearing this shit for 20 years and have never heard a song of his that wasn't straight up dog shit.>h-he's good because he samples other genresLike every other fucking rap producer ever? Guy made shitty pop anthems and can't actually rap and everyone acted like he was the second coming.>>18913881Why would I listen to a reggaeton guy when that's literally the worst music ever created?
>>18912023Black culture wasn't as worshipped back then as it is now. The 2000s were the decade of nu metal and punkrock
>>18913818It started because Jey kept yelling it at that press conference where he and Cody were shitfaced and people thought it was funny so it became Jey's catchphrase and they had giant foam hands and a hand motion and Michael Cole and Pat McAfee would literally take minutes from Raw to tell the audience how it's the hot new craze and they should do it.It's basically Fandangoing except lamer but it got over because Jey isn't white like Fandango. Also, Fandangoing was less about Fandango and more the first instance of shitty Brits and Euroids hijacking the show with their gay singing in an attempt to get themselves over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLXV_Lbs59cThis was my favorite mania theme as a kid. It just hit right. idk
>>18918400It's Nu-Metal
>hating this song https://youtu.be/tMlKmELIhgY?si=dCPPkK-ewmbtwFFVi thought about making a thread about this too
>>18918403>>18918404Cartoons and video games are not wrestling.
>>18912023The last theme to sound like Wrestlemania was Written in the Stars.
>>18914265But enough about your chances of ever getting laid
>>18913940that part
>>18912023grimola
>>18912023that Saliva song was a good song for wrestling but not a good song for daily listening
>>18913818Jimmy Uso should do a "can I get uhhhhh hoh yeah" gimmick
>>18918476Sounds like something that should've played in an episode of smallville
Wrestling is slop for white trashRock/nu metal/buttrock is slop for white trashMix them both together and you get something white trash magicalWhy won't triple faggot or tiny bakan do this? I doubt some hasbeen band from 25 years ago would charge much for a licensed song
The Poppy song used for Elimination Chamber was good but yeah all the modern ppv songs suck
for me it's this because I used to watch the ppvs in dvdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26FCoUWM02w>>18918408banger, I like the other one too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIlTS5A-rSs>>18918476my first wrestlemania. These times will never be topped
>>18912039This. Rap literally lacks the energy to hype promo videos. You have action and people talking with emotion, underscored with some shitty tinny beat and a nigger mumbling. It just doesn't work.
>>18913883it actually was. the original Yeet dance videos has similar arm movements
>>18918379Cult of Personality
>>18919719Like mussolini
>>18912023You're the reason modern wrestling sucks btw
>>18918457>Somebody explain to me why Kanye is a "genius" because I've been hearing this shit for 20 yearsIf you ain't got it by now then you're just ain't getting it
>>18918379nWo Wolfpac theme
>>18918457one of the worst posts in /pw/ history
ALL wrestling promotions are horrible out of touch with modern culture and their own fans.Except CMLL unironically
>>18919783KWAB
>>18919811We were always behind the mexicans, even in the days of the titanes our wrestling was lame compared to theirs
>>18912081They aren't. They're like music by-products. Loop someone else's music and talk over it about how cool you are and how lame your rivals are. The less you actually say, the better.
>>18919719Black people playing white music>>18919783Big Kev had so much black cum in his ass he's half black by this point. You're right though, but my original point was really aimed at event music and promo packages.
>>18912023not only do I have black fatigue, I also have retroactive black fatigue
>>18912023rnb is the worst possible choice for hype up music
>>18918379Some theme songs were good
>>18920339My bad I’m a retard, I didn’t see the text in the parentheses
>>18920325The Weeknd gets me hyped for Wrestlemania though
>>18918457https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yblfMrUeiP4&list=RDyblfMrUeiP4&start_radio=1if you dont like this, you got tisum but you like wrestling so you most likely have not taste
>>18912039yes that’s exactly why the original dynamite theme hit so hard
>>18912081we don't post selfies here
>>18912081kek this made the milennials and poos seethe
>>18912097Delusional.
Blacks hadn't achieved total cultural victory by WM23. There were still pockets of Rock N Roll
>>18918469The early 00s, yeah, not the late 00s
>>18920000Not all rap music uses samples so this doesn’t hold as a point
>>18918379run dmc dx theme
>>18918469The 2000s were also the decade of r&b and bling rap.
>>18922154Rap has never dominated WWE. Most of it just doesn't work that well as music for wrestling. A PPV/PLE theme here and there, a promo occasionally. The way it's designed doesn't work as well to pair with something like wrestling. Watch any movie that has a lot of rap in the soundtrack. It just doesn't work as well.There are way more non rap songs that could fit in a promo like the Wrestlemania 17 Rock & Stone Cold one, than rap songs.
kanye fucking sucks. i like rap and as a producer he's good but his own music was always corny/reddit tier
>>18922412His music is literally the opposite of redidt considering that redditors hate him.
>>18912023There was no way they would have gotten Ye back then. Big music acts now are much more desperate for any sort of extra "reach" because music is not as lucrative as it was even in 2007.
>>18918379https://youtu.be/IiGk-YTDPME
>Has WWE always been 5 years behind current trends?I don't remember if it was WM21 or 22 but either way just before this one the theme was a fucking pop song from 1986.
>>18918478What do you think nu metal is?
>>18912023Good point
>>18912023I want to see the best console warrior on this very board defend the Smackdown theme song, let's see what you're really made of
>>18925861Big Time by Peter Gabriel. And it’s still a banger, and it beats practically any theme going today on any wrestling show.
>>18912023>droppedWhat is this groid speech?
