literally nobody in the world. I've always been a CFO$ defender but even then, never ever will I say they are better than Jim Johnston but to be fair...the bar is set pretty high.
thats because they were changing the themes week by week to find the right one that fits and fans like. its gonna take a few years of def rebel before their themes start to become familiar just like how CFO themes sucked at the start too.
@zackattackN So if no one gives an F about him... why are we supposed to give an F about you then? Did he say something wrong and it hurt your feelings?
I don't think he will come back,find it weird that AEW didn't hire him or maybe he turned down the offer Current roster needs Jim or atleast someone with his mindset,who makes song for the character
@@nicolaszirena7543 the producer doesn't make the theme. The superstar does. "Medal" was originally made for The Patriot in 1997 but he left and they later gave it to Kurt Angle in 99. He sold his character so well that eventually people started chanting You Suck behind it. Now they're doing the same with Chad Gable and the Alpha Academy theme because he's selling this Kurt Angle 2.0 jerk off character so well. The producer can only do so much but it's not their job to sell the superstar.
I do still like his new theme tho... Like it was a bit jaring at first coz it wasn't catch your breath but it's not a bad song at all... The beat and the bass goes pretty hard
@@WWEAllDay247my boi what u on? They don’t just say “ hey make a new song for these guys in a day, cool? Cool.” In most of these cases, there hit or miss and is just how they are.
Jim Johnston truly was the GOD of WWE music. Every song he made is straight up classic, and fits every character well. Even the jobbers back then had legendary themes. I truly hope def rebel gets removed soon and we get someone new, cause my god, many themes today suck, despite some highlights he has.
Downstait has so many great themes in and out of wwe with Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Miz, and some others, that I think WWE needs to hire them as their full time theme creator.
CFOS is amazing compared to Def Rebel. AJ Styles, Shinsuke, Bobby Roode, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Alistair Black and even Rhea Ripleys theme is based on the CFOS version from 2019.
No they not lmfao These songs are great. Every era had some shit songs😂 live crowds love the music. Nobody’s music has gotten this recognition that def rebels plus live crowds love them. They not going anywhere. Gotta love it. They got bangers across the board.
yea royal rumble is really feeling empty like seriously idk who is coming until see the name, most themes feel the same. plus they removed trons for the wrestlers now its just there name on it.
Sucks that Evan Bourne became a jobber, dude was a highlight during his debut from 2008-2010. Still one of the best RKO's ever taken and so many amazing high-flying moments, he was Ricochete before Ricochete for me.
I saw someone say that CFO$ was only released because their label wouldn't let them do something, and so WWE is trying to wait for them to get free from their label so they can get them back separately under a new name.
don'know what to say about shtty def rebel songs but i got my top 5 favorites rn 1 Melo Don't Miss (Carmelo Hayes) 2 Love is Blind (Joe Gacy) 3 Burn the ships ( Baron corbin) 4 Battle Tested (Bronson Reed) 5 Death Waltz (Ilja Dragunov) and lemme know yours too
Burn the Ships might honestly be my favorite modern WWE entrance theme atm so I’ll give Def Rebel that but then why can’t they make tracks at that level of quality all the time
Remember not all the songs are by Def Rebel, Rhea's theme is by a different band, judgement day's theme is by the same bamd who made edge's theme, and in reality most of them aren't actual wrestling songs are for wrestlers it's licensed music Cody's song is a 9 year old song or so
The problem is time. Def Rebel have created some bangers. Take Roman , Seth , Solo , Ripley... Imagine having to create like 20 theme songs in the spam of 2 months. Of course they are not in the level of Johnston.
I dont like Def Rebel, but they look like the producers that need time to produce quality. They can't continuously work on music or demo versions to find and create quality music. Music is a continuous state of creation or instantaneous creation. Def Rebel is way too safe for linking music to characters
For every good theme like Roman, Ripley and Bobby Lashley, there’s about 40 generic garbage ones. I mean just watch one episode of NXT. Those themes are so underwhelming😭
First of all, time. Second of all, wrestlers positioning in the card (I think def rebel and WWE hardly bother to put effort to creat Reigns-esque banger for Carlito). Def rebel has really big roster to service, so now they have corresponding catalogue. I guess people usually remember couple of themes they like, couple of themes they don't lime and the rest goes to obscure list of "def rebel garbage music".
I remember I use to be so hyped when To Be Loved by papa roach was the raw opener song back in like 07-08?. I was a huge PRoach fan as a young teen. So them having the theme song was amazing . And that was one of the not so best songs
Those Were The Greatest Theme Songs Of That Era. I've Been Watching Wrestling Since 2003 When I Was A 3 Year Old And It Makes Me Feel Old. A Resident Jim Johnston Return Is Needed
"Now get the guns! The drugs!...." Also, most of the greatest songs were performed by metal bands. Randy Orton - "Voices" By Rev Theory, Batista - "I Walk Alone" By Saliva, Triple H "The Game" By Motorhead, Cody Rhodes "Kingdom" By Downstait.
some of my all time favorites were by jim johnson or bands that the wrestlers chose like: stonecold steve austin - his main and disturbed undertaker's main and ministry of darkness kane's main and slow chemical Batista theme chris jericho - break the walls down chris benout - whatever DX theme triple H - the game and my time edge - metalingus and i even liked his rob zombie one - never gonna stop me ( very underrated theme ) Christian - just close your eyes ( the girl version was better but the guy version still good) there is more but just a small example of what i loved
The worst intro has to be DIY's. It makes me cringe every time they have a match. It is even worse when I remember that Gargano and Ciampa had 2 of the best solo themes in the company and DIY's original song was decent too, even if it was kinda generic.
yea i agree. But they only reason def rebel makes some hits is because WWE gives theme time to produce the music. The themes that are trash are the WWE rushed theme songs
@@WWEAllDay247ok, let’s do this one more time, who told you that they were being rushed? They had like, a week to make a song for DIY. Jim Johnson on the other hand, made HHH theme in about 5 minutes.
@@KingAWC "ok let's do this one more time" how are you so confidently wrong lol. HHH's theme was made by motor head. the main reason why jim johnston was fired was because he was TOO SLOW at making themes. good music takes time to make, thats why def rebels themes are so ass. there's a new def rebel theme like once a week, of course it's going to be shit and generic.
@@bread6235 he wasn’t fired because he was slow? He was fired because many people moved persuaded vince into a new and improved band because Jim Johnson had been at it for so long. Also he wrote the song, not performed it?
The def rebel mix of voices is on youtube. It's really just voices with some different music...You can actually tell where their strength is. The hip hop based themes are mostly fire. Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams. Hell Tiffany Stratton has a theme that really fits her, but the fact that most Stars who have a little pull are using their CFO$ themes from NXT.
I think Def Rebel first work was Iyo Sky's theme song, it was so well done with the Japanese train warning sound and dark vibe. I'm not sure what's stopping them to do something similar
@@VinceAustinStoneColdTrick’s is hard carried by the crowd chanting “Whoop that Trick!” on beat to the song cuz otherwise other than the beginning it’s really nothing special and this is coming from someone who thinks Trick’s opening is sick as hell
been saying this for the longest rock music fits so well with violence lmao loved it in the old DBZ movies an i miss the old raw and smackdown themes i remember how gritty the vibe was in the og Broly movie and it really set the tone for me as a kid Across the Nation & Beautiful People will always be my favorite opening themes
Agreed, Genre music changed from Rock to Rap/RnB really hurt WWE imo. It doesn’t fit with wrestling business. Maybe it could fit with some wrestlers, but when almost everyone use generic loop from FL studio. It became ridiculous
@@IDontKnowWhatToNameThisit's literally a mix of Maxxinne's old theme. They knew it was fire so they brought it back as a trash theme for another wrestler 😂
I mean, the only reason I didn't like CFO$ themes that much was often use of loops. Although it's easier to apply for a wrestler's entrance, there wasn't any anticipation of 'THAT PART OF THE SONG' like solo in Orton's theme.
I think that the best def rebel theme songs that weren't mentioned on this video are: 1 - Tatum Paxley's "eyes of the reaper" 2 - all 3 liv Morgan theme songs 3 - Baron Corbin's "burn the ships" even though I didn't like it at first I realized it's a Banger. 4 - Karrion Kross's "Dead Silent" 5 - Gunther's Theme song "General" And In my opinion they (WWE) should bring back CFO$ at least they did A LOT of BANGERS
@@njtheradical i completely agree. I don't even watch wrestling anymore, but it still annoys me that they are butchering everyones entrance with their garbage
Def Rebel used to actually make good music and they’ve shown they can. Hell one of my favorite recent songs from them is Tony D’Angelo’s new theme. But they clearly just don’t care, they don’t do what Johnston did where he would look at a wrestler and work with that.
WWE should use a mix of composers instead of just one def rebel They should also use copyright free music for some as there are tons of great copyright free music. Mjf has one Few of the stars they are planning to push like bronn breaker should be given commercial music like how orange Cassidy had where is my mind by the pixies.
Its 50/50 cause Knights theme is good and i actually like Bayleys and DIY theme, but something like AJ theme which was already good and didnt need changing thats when it sucks similar to Austin Theorys theme and Charlotte Flairs theme. Charlottes first theme was like some hardcore lap dance music it went hard
Can never understand why AJ Styles' new theme is so hated. The song is actually good. People just mad that his old theme is gone. Then, don't hate Def Rebel, hate AJ Styles, the man who not only wanted a new theme, he COMPLETELY hated his old one.
Def Rebel has some bangers like Carmelo Hayes, Ilja, OTM, Dom, Wes Lee, Tony Deangelo, Joe Gacy, and more. If they were as consistent with songs on the main roster Def Rebel could probably compete with CFO$.
I really wish for Jim Johnston's comeback as the lead musician for all themes. He's really thoughtful when creating a wrestler's theme music he put so much effort into it. I watched WWE's "Behind the Theme" series again and it's incredible to see the development progression for a song, like Randy, The Rock etc.
Trick’s theme is a generic rap beat. The fans chant is what makes that theme as good as it is. If you listen to the theme without the chant it sounds like a theme from wwe 2k customizer.
1. Most generic rap beat than you can find on UA-cam. The crowd and booker T makes it what it is 2. Loops every 20 seconds 3. Generic as hell and like Trick, the crowd makes it much better 4. This is good 5. Rip off from her AEW theme 6. CFO's 7. It's mid 8. Why did you name Jade twice?

Idk why the hate for AJ's song....i like it. Not to mention...these other people who made intro music also made alot of shit too. Its just that you only look back on the good ones with rose tinted glasses. Its just the cool thing I guess to hate on the current thing. Oh and Bron Breaker being the next Roman Reigns??? Ummm...no. Hes the next Ryback. A few years from now people wont even remember him.
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD yeah that's true... I mean nothing to take away from the artists they absolutely made the song their own but still the others involved in the production of the song shouldn't be ignored
@@levisamom5069 You mean Motionless in white who made way better songs then her entrance music, there's a difference between writing a song then bringing it alive
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD "made way better songs than her entrance music?" So is her theme great because it's from MiW and not Def Rebel? Or is her theme mediocre, because it's Def Rebel and not MiW? Looks like everyone hates Def Rebel, but people can't make up their minds about this one
im ok with Finn Balor's, it's pretty catchy but my only complaint is the build to the drop is a bit weak. Of course, not as great as the previous one, but the fact that it's only reserved for the Demon being unleashed, I'd say it's worth the wait
1. Jim Johnston
2. CFO$
3. Def Rebel.
Nobody is going to argue with that.
no literally.
literally nobody in the world. I've always been a CFO$ defender but even then, never ever will I say they are better than Jim Johnston but to be fair...the bar is set pretty high.
Facts
This is not an opinion,this is a known fact.
Why does everyone shit on Def Rebel
Royal Rumble 2024 really showed how bad music in wwe really is. Crowd didn't know half the wrestlers when their music hits
thats because they were changing the themes week by week to find the right one that fits and fans like. its gonna take a few years of def rebel before their themes start to become familiar just like how CFO themes sucked at the start too.
When the music hita, I take a shita
@@user-oq9gl5xx8z 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True. They are so generic

@@calebdodoo9965 Agreed 👍
It sounds like an attitude era show theme honestly
@@calebdodoo9965yeah i agree. And it dosent help when they only have him in 1 minute squash matches and dont let him show off his talent
I would say New Catch Republic fits the bill better, that theme is what really kicked off this firestorm
Each year, it gets worse and worse.
Each year people do not understand that WWE rushes their music producers to do theme songs
Only selective few have good themes from Def Rebel.
Some of the themes are so bad an generic it's so funny to buy them as Champions.
What in the fuck are people saying def rebels music has gotten better this year even though It fucking haven’t we need to fix this now

Yea no
A. AJ said he didn’t want it back
B. AJs new theme is a banger and suits him perfectly
Aj didn't want his theme. Before commenting false comments do some research.
Wish we had AJ's old WWE theme back. It was better imo. Still mixed feelings about his current theme.
Still don’t understand why they changed balors music for his heel turn. He used the same music while he was heel in NXT and it was badass

That Otunga theme went hard as fuck in 2k14 or whatever games he was in
yea royal rumble is really feeling empty like seriously idk who is coming until see the name, most themes feel the same. plus they removed trons for the wrestlers now its just there name on it.
Don’t forget Tyson Kidd and Apollo Crews (first theme)
Sucks that Evan Bourne became a jobber, dude was a highlight during his debut from 2008-2010. Still one of the best RKO's ever taken and so many amazing high-flying moments, he was Ricochete before Ricochete for me.
Hot take: I like the damage control theme. It got better with the Japanese remix, but I’ve always liked the beat and some of the lyrics.
Agreed Kairi's new theme is fire as well. By design Kairi can't get generic themes because of the pirate persona.
Best one is kabuki warriors theme.
Agreed but now I don't understand it 😂
Jim jhonson and Motörhead are the goats

I think that the best def rebel theme songs that weren't mentioned on this video are:
1 - Tatum Paxley's "eyes of the reaper"
2 - all 3 liv Morgan theme songs
3 - Baron Corbin's "burn the ships" even though I didn't like it at first I realized it's a Banger.
4 - Karrion Kross's "Dead Silent"
5 - Gunther's Theme song "General"
And In my opinion they (WWE) should bring back CFO$ at least they did A LOT of BANGERS
WWE needs 'Doom' music.
It is hit or miss. Currently addicted to Ridge Hollands Theme. Just wish those Banger Themes were longer
Im gonna be pissed when def rebel leaves, and some people are gonna say that they miss the catchphrase in the beginning
nobody is going to miss that lol
The catchphrases are kinda lazy, especially because they mostly add nothing to the song or the wrestler's persona.
@@njtheradical "eL iDoLo" lol
@@njtheradical i completely agree. I don't even watch wrestling anymore, but it still annoys me that they are butchering everyones entrance with their garbage
Def Rebel used to actually make good music and they’ve shown they can.
Hell one of my favorite recent songs from them is Tony D’Angelo’s new theme. But they clearly just don’t care, they don’t do what Johnston did where he would look at a wrestler and work with that.
Dakota Kai's them song is actually really good
My fav is iyo sky theme, certified banger
Phenomenal is Aj's best entrance music
You have no idea how much your videos have inspired me to do a wrestling review!
WWE needs Jim Johnston back!
He’s not coming back he’s retired
One of the thing that gor me in to wrestling in 2008 was the entrances....randy orton, john cena edge, mark Henry
When randy theme hit in the video i laughed so hard and then brocks 🤣
WWE should use a mix of composers instead of just one def rebel
They should also use copyright free music for some as there are tons of great copyright free music. Mjf has one
Few of the stars they are planning to push like bronn breaker should be given commercial music like how orange Cassidy had where is my mind by the pixies.
Bron breakers theme is decent and I kinda prefer over his old theme but it could be so much better
Its 50/50 cause Knights theme is good and i actually like Bayleys and DIY theme, but something like AJ theme which was already good and didnt need changing thats when it sucks similar to Austin Theorys theme and Charlotte Flairs theme. Charlottes first theme was like some hardcore lap dance music it went hard
Can never understand why AJ Styles' new theme is so hated. The song is actually good. People just mad that his old theme is gone. Then, don't hate Def Rebel, hate AJ Styles, the man who not only wanted a new theme, he COMPLETELY hated his old one.
Orton hated Burn in My Light, which may only now is being surpassed by Voices in popularity…
i remember watching apollo crews debut and i didnt know who he was but i liked him straight away cause he had a banger theme song
CM PUNK THEME SONG IS BANGER 🎉
Yeah cause that’s by Living Color and his old one was by Killswitch Engage, Punk would never let Def Rebel anywhere near his theme lol
Just ignoring Def Rebel’s absolute banger for Baron Corbin’s theme!
i kinda like solo new jam in smack down lol
Shout out Biancas theme song though very close second to Rheas personally speaking.
WWE needs to find their next resident Jim Johnston
Jim Johnston Is An Icon. And A Composer That His Mindset Would Do Wonders For WWE
Def Rebel has some bangers like Carmelo Hayes, Ilja, OTM, Dom, Wes Lee, Tony Deangelo, Joe Gacy, and more. If they were as consistent with songs on the main roster Def Rebel could probably compete with CFO$.
Def Rebel makes me miss CFO$
Break the rules break the law this is the moment we waiting for yeah greatness yeah it feels like greatness- raw 2022-2023 Intro
No ones gonna recorrect that WWE does not give def rebel or stevie stone time to produce theme songs. Its a rushed process.
Def Rebel actually has talent, but WWE is hiding it by rushing them
I really wish for Jim Johnston's comeback as the lead musician for all themes.
He's really thoughtful when creating a wrestler's theme music he put so much effort into it.
I watched WWE's "Behind the Theme" series again and it's incredible to see the development progression for a song, like Randy, The Rock etc.
Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes, Oba Femi, Bobby Lashley, Jade Cargill, Street Profits Naomi and Jade all have amazing themes. I wonder why🤔
None of those themes are good and Bobbys old Jim Johnston theme was way better
Trick’s theme is a generic rap beat. The fans chant is what makes that theme as good as it is. If you listen to the theme without the chant it sounds like a theme from wwe 2k customizer.
@@CSAMP2 it may be a generic rap beat but it’s a nice ass beat. Me and my cousins free style to it all the type
1. Most generic rap beat than you can find on UA-cam. The crowd and booker T makes it what it is
2. Loops every 20 seconds
3. Generic as hell and like Trick, the crowd makes it much better
4. This is good
5. Rip off from her AEW theme
6. CFO's
7. It's mid
8. Why did you name Jade twice?

Rhea Rhipleys music was made by her favorite band like edges theme
New catch republic song kinda slaps
On mute
Idk why the hate for AJ's song....i like it.
Not to mention...these other people who made intro music also made alot of shit too. Its just that you only look back on the good ones with rose tinted glasses.
Its just the cool thing I guess to hate on the current thing.
Oh and Bron Breaker being the next Roman Reigns??? Ummm...no. Hes the next Ryback. A few years from now people wont even remember him.
Doesn't Rhea come out to Motionless In White?
As much as time to play the game is a motohead song... And by that I mean it's still a WWE and def rebel production even though miw sings it
@@levisamom5069 okay that's like saying Jim wrote Voices but Rev Theory performs it
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD yeah that's true... I mean nothing to take away from the artists they absolutely made the song their own but still the others involved in the production of the song shouldn't be ignored
@@levisamom5069 You mean Motionless in white who made way better songs then her entrance music, there's a difference between writing a song then bringing it alive
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD "made way better songs than her entrance music?"
So is her theme great because it's from MiW and not Def Rebel?
Or is her theme mediocre, because it's Def Rebel and not MiW?
Looks like everyone hates Def Rebel, but people can't make up their minds about this one
Ritas theme is performed by a kick ass metalcore band Motionless In White
Austin theory theme didn’t need to be changed and they still changed it. Another issue
im ok with Finn Balor's, it's pretty catchy but my only complaint is the build to the drop is a bit weak. Of course, not as great as the previous one, but the fact that it's only reserved for the Demon being unleashed, I'd say it's worth the wait
Jim Johnson did write great music for a lot of wrestlers...but he also wrote "Biscuits and Gravy", "Assman" and Rob Conway's theme.
Biscuits & Gravy is also a banger
Assman is catchy af
That's a weak argument dude. No musician or band has written 100% consecutive bangers. It's about the success ratio and connection with the fans.
We need a full version of that Lesnar team. And a remake of the special ref video
What dou you think of def reble
We don't want none
there was absolutely no reason to change austin theory's A town down theme song
