What music do your original edits have for their entrance themes?

[Obediah_Iscariot]

Looking for two things here in relation to original edits:

1) Existing music which you think suits your character, so have used it as their entrance theme. What is the character's story and why does the music suit them?

2) Music you've edited or created from scratch to use as your wrestlers' entrance themes. Again, a bit of info about your wrestler and how you came up with the music.

Links to original edits and (YouTube) links to existing/created music especially welcome. Interested to hear people's stories.

8-Bit John Smith: As you may know if you've been following the "What have you created lately" thread, I've been trying to make an 8-bit style character in Fire Pro. Here is the result if you're interested:

For his theme I considered all the wrestling video game themes that I know, and I opted for the SNES Royal Rumble main theme which I whistle all the time:

8-bit John Smith is a personal love letter to old wrestling games, so picking my favourite song just made sense.

Daco Fonjuego Black: I don't know if anyone else does this, but sometimes I like to daydream about my fictional career as a professional wrestler. I always imagined myself as Daco Fonjuego, a Mexican luchador heel who always wore black and white. His ring style was strongly influenced by my favourite wrestler, Eddie Guerrero. His theme song doesn't exist - in my head, it contains the bum-bum-bah drum sequence from Final Fantasy 7's Shinra theme combined with a Mexican funeral song.

During the twilight of his career (mid to late 2000's) he changed his look drastically, dropping the mask after twenty years and wearing all black to the ring. His age also changed his style, meaning he became less like Eddie and more like Bret Hart, whom he feuded with during the 90's. To go with the style I needed a new theme, and "Chan Chan" by Buena Vista Social Club seemed perfect. It's slow and sounds like something you'd play in a movie if a Latino gangster was walking down the street.

Hi Iganga this is EXACTLY the sort of stuff I like hearing about! Thank you for posting.

Yes I am an avid follower of the "What have you created lately" thread and post on there often myself.

I had seen your John Smith character and thought it was a great idea. Now that you have made those body parts for him, you could also easily make some 8-bit opponents for him too! I will have to check out the music for him another time as I am at work! He looks great, anyway.

I also like your Daco Fonjuego Black character very much and can relate to you entirely about having an alter-ego wrestler character of yourself. I like how you say you've developed him and his character/style over the years. It gives it an authentic feel. I do the same when I release many of my edits, I give them an entire back story and even explain how their careers have planned out in the edit description. I will put some examples in a new post. Again, I can't check out your edit's music as I am at work, but your description of it being Latin street music makes me remember Eddie Guerrero's late WCW entrance music, when he was a heel.

Thank you, Iganga.

So in brief, here are a few examples of mine (though I have no links to music to hand as many of them are custom tracks):

BOLLYWOOD ROGAN:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1618567844
This was my first ever FPWW edit. He is an Indian cruiserweight who claims to be related to Hollywood Hulk Hogan and tries to mimick Hogan's appearance. He is slightly comical in nature, almost in the same way that TNA's "Black Machismo" character was a bid to Macho Man Randy Savage.

Anyone who is remotely clued up knows that Indian cinema is sometimes called "Bollywood", and that "Rogan Josh" is the name of an Indian curry. Hence Bollywood Rogan.

In terms of his entrance music, I did a hilarious mix-mash of Hogan's "Real American" theme where I got a recording of a real Indian voice actor saying "I AM A REAL INDI-AN, FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF INDI-ANS". It was from a carefully-sourced, free text-to-speech website. It complements him perfectly!

"HARDCORE" PETER FILE:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2074216750
This is one of the edits I invested the most time into. I originally designed him in WWF No Mercy on N64 but have developed and improved him over the years.

As his name and face disguise suggest, he is... a wrestler in the hardcore division. I designed a whole load of custom "hardcore" moves for his moveset, in addition to a grotesque base head piece, fake mustach and glasses, a wig, and a fedora hat. He is truly a devious individual, naturally a heel, entering in a long trenchcoat.

Again, for his custom music, I used my go-to text-to-speech website to get a suitable voice to announce "Peter File Alert" repetitively, as if it were a warning alarm, and transposed this over Right-To-Censor's theme of alarm bells ringing. When you hear the finished track, you can almost imagine red warning lights flashing and computer's displaying a warning message.

"FASHION POLICE" JULIAN JULANSKY:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2241490953
This is a flamboyant fashion-aware wrestler which draws some inspiration from Sasha Baron-Cohen's character "Brüno". He is appropriately dressed in a pink police cap and shades, and designerware that includes skin-tight zebra-patterned PVC pants.

His feuds mostly begin by him interrupting other wrestlers' matches or promos to criticise their dress sense.

Again, I went to my favourite text-to-speech website and got a really camp male or ambiguous voice repeating the phrase "We are the fashion police". I transposed this over Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner's WCW police siren entrance music, because he is the fashion police after all!

(The theme says "we" are the fashion police because I was going to create a mini stable with Julian Julansky as the leader. Maybe (ironically) wrestlers completely lacking fashion like " Hobo Joe" or "Biff Burling", who is a big fat balding hairy guy).

Hi acethunderabc, thanks for posting. The music's good and well suited to entrance themes.

So did you make all these themes yourself or are they links to someone else's YouTube pages?

Who are the characters who use the first two themes, and what are their stories?

[acethunderabc]

I use the Shadow of the Colossus theme for a CAW named Jet The Colossus and the Winter Solider theme for a Homelander/Kurt Angle styled patriotic heel CAW Mason Super.

I shall check out those edits!
