Thanks for posting my picks LKJ, really happy I got both Vince and Angle. Vince's theme is underrated. When it hits, you know **** is about to go down. It's arrogant, it's loud and it fits Vince's character perfectly. Angle's theme is iconic and I'm not sure how anyone can hate on it. It fits both a heel and face. It's triumphant as a face's theme and obnoxious as a heels. It instantly got people to their feet. I know it was The Patriots theme before Angle but I don't care, it's one of the best themes ever.
I like how Moo Robot has the gall to call Angle's theme generic and then goes on to pick Goldberg's theme which if you didn't know, like most of WCW themes, comes from a stock audio CD. Random fact, I used to edit the Australian version of WWTBAM and in the edit suite we had the same CD WCW obviously had. It had Goldbergs and a bunch of other undrafted themes on it. I tried to use undrafted's theme for an ad once but we found out it had been used in a porno. I'm not saying Goldberg's theme is a bad pick, a lot of people obviously love it and popped for it huge, it just doesn't do it for me personally.
MDM is a great pick. I love that theme so much. The money, the laugh, the quotes, the 80s riff, it's just awesome.
Flair is an obvious great pick. I can't imagine any other wrestler that would be able to pull it off either. It's not a hype song but Flair wasn't a hype wrestler.

^This sums it up perfectly.
NWO is another good pick. It's a WCW theme that was original and not stock audio so that already gets it points. It's iconic although it did get played out a bit too much in WCW. You would hear it at least 5 or 6 times every show. I had Voodochild on my list but didn't think it would fall this early. I don't mind the pick though, the first time it played was a great moment.
HBK's theme is terrible.
Jericho's theme is pretty awesome, it's not in my top ten but I have no problem with it being picked this early.
I saw HHH's theme get drafted and checked my sent PMs. I got lucky because I sent LKJ a PM at some degen hour of the morning and I linked the wrong version of HHH's theme, then someone drafted it. So glad that didn't fall to me, I would have been salty. It's HHH's worse theme.
Warrior's theme was my number 4. I rate Vince and Angle's themes over it but I'm shocked it fell this late. It's just so intense and hype.
