Seriously, the indie band Divide the Day was replaced by Green Day the emo band for Smackdown? Man, WWE really needs a therapy.

In case you have forgotten, Tyler Black is now using the name Seth Rollins.

So for anyone who didn't know, I often work at the high school here in Winnipeg that Chris Jericho attended/graduated from. I've seen his picture countless times as I pass the Graduating Class composites that are laid out in the hallway, but when I was there yesterday, THAT was the first time that I was able to find a copy of his high school yearbook.

Regarding the "textured" look on his class photo, my cell phone camera is not to blame. It's just how yearbooks were printed back then. Also, for anyone who didn't know, yes that IS his real name.

Damn, dude was TOTALLY rockin' the mullet. That's awesome. :laugh:

Can him and Evan Bourne form a tag team called 'Black Flag Identity'?

I am disgusted by that theme song. I was in utter shock of all the songs they would pick that one for a wrestling show.

Nothing will ever beat the Drowning Pool theme.

I hate "Bodies" with a passion. It is the most overused song in the past 10 years. It's the lazy choice whenever someone wants to make their tv show, fan video or movie trailer look hardcore and edgy.

That said the new Smackdown opening blows too. Not just the poor song choice but even the video editing is not up to WWE's usually high standards. They usually do a much better job of getting the visuals to be in-sync with the music.

Bodies will never be a wrestling song. It just isn't.

"Rise Up" was no doubt the best. I understand certain songs get stale but they should have kept it. It really fit the SmackDown concept.

I like "Let It Roll". It sometimes played in my head at work. Some of my co-workers are fellow WWE fans. What's the song for Raw???

 

[Punk]

"Burning Down The Ground" by Nickelback. Which annoys me as well.

I think the worst theme song in wrestling history goes to NXT. How am I going to take that show seriously when the theme sounds like a Pokemon intro?

 

[Wheatley]

I think the best wrestling themes WWF/WWE ever had for any of their shows were both "Thorn In Your Eye" and "We're All Together Now", both from the WWF Full Metal Album. No wrestling theme will ever be more badass than the RAW is WAR theme. "Across The Nation" by Union Underground was pretty good, but not as good as its predecessor. And yeah, that Nickelback song is bad, but I thought "To Be Loved" by Papa Roach was much worse. It's so gay and unfitting for a wrestling show, wrestling isn't about love! It's about WAR! Like RAW is WAR!

And I have to disagree. I think "Bodies" by Drowning Pool fits really well with wrestling (hardcore wrestling in particular). After all, bodies DO get slammed to the floor in wrestling a lot.

Now my personal favorite SmackDown themes are the very first original theme and "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson (which was the original RAW is WAR theme back in March 1997). The others are okay, but "If You Rock Like Me" and the current one are definitely pieces of ****.

Believe it or not, the Season 1&2 NXT theme doesn't fit at all. The song is actually about a guy meeting and falling in love with a southern country girl. I'M DEAD SERIOUS! :laugh:
