As far as the next pick goes, Burdz PM'd it to me so I'll have that up momentarily. He was going Hogan first as well, but this was his backup.
I'd love a spot. Thanks.

Hogan was always going to be 1st. Just the goat.

Oh wow.

Controversial statement alert: neither of those were in my top 3; reasons for the #1 pick I'll discuss later.

Pick up momentarily.

Nice pick, LKJ. Its what I thought of as soon as I saw the draft.

Punk is a surprise.

Spoiler:
This was my #1 pick, just ahead of WILL BE DRAFTED SOON and REALLY THOUGHT LKJ WOULD TAKE THIS INSTEAD.

It's a little hard to separate the music from the lights and the entrance and all the rest -- but that's part of why the music is so great, it evokes all that other stuff in your head right now while you're listening to that. I think the music adds so much to the mystique of the Undertaker character, more than any music does for any other wrestler ever.

As a bonus, it's the all-time best for "music to stop the other guy's promo/match dead in its tracks". When the bell chimes, you know ****'s about to get real.

I've got chills right now just listening to it.

UT is the clear #1. If you think otherwise you're wrong

All the other themes are great, but imo this is the GOAT. When that glass breaks you know **** is about to go down. I don't know how many of you got to experience seeing Austin live during the attitude era, so let me tell you what it's like when his music hits. The moment that glass breaks it is physically impossible to remain sitting. You jump up out of your seat along with the 20,000 other people there and cheer your ass off. Other wrestlers obviously get pops when their music hits, none got it as consistently and as loud as Austin did when his music hit.

Team so far:
Stone Cold Steve Austin- Glass Breaks

That was my "will be drafted soon" comment. Also excellent for the surprise ass kicking.

Taker isn't my number 1 but I don't mind it being others because he has some of the greatest entrances of all time. A lot of that is the music.

Hogan
Austin
Taker

would have been my first three, so maybe I wouldn't have flubbed a high pick as much as I thought.

I didn't have Punk on my 1st round list at all, but I understand the pick, as it might not have gotten back around to him.

Punk was definitely a facemelter for me. I don't have it ranked that high at all. Austin, Hogan and Taker are all suitable number 1's.

Taker without that entrance is an upper mid carder

Said this in a PM to Halpert last night.

Hogan's my #1, which I'm guessing that you guessed.

One that I'm sure goes in the first round that I have virtually zero use for is Austin. I mean it's definitely a good theme, but there's no chance that I end up drafting it because someone (or maybe nine someones) will like it more than I do.
Taker > Austin without hesitation. Far prefer Hogan's music to Taker's as well just as a matter of personal preference, but Taker is a worthy first rounder. SRM's point about it elevating Taker more than music elevates most is well-taken, but that's not the only criteria.

Taker was my number 2 behind Austin. Real American is great but it's probably closer to the end of the first round than number one over all for me.

I'll get to why Hogan wouldn't have been a top 3 pick for me (hadn't settled on an order after that) later on in the draft. I get that it's a fine song and all.

I like both UT's music and Austin's, again, just because of the surprise factor. Austin's music as just a regular entrance theme isn't that great. Austin's theme when someone else is in the ring talking smack is a close #2 overall.

Probably arguably the best performer is our era, and undoubtedly my favorite hands down. I have been a fan since he kicked Marty Jannetty through the barber shop window. So my picked is biased but pretty good I think

I've always found Real American to be overrated but partially attributed it to my brain not being wired for nationalism. I just don't like it that much, but I also have another reason against it that might be the same as DW's.

I wouldn't have touched HBK's music for quite a few rounds myself, but it was only going to get by Dylan so many times anyway.
All-Time Wrestling Entrance Theme Draft Quote
01-16-2015 , 12:58 PM
Undertaker was my top by far. Nothing else that's gone was in my top 5, but I figured this would turn in to a greatest wrestlers draft and not a greatest entry theme draft so yeah
