In the past, say, ten applications, without exaggeration, nine of them have had Limp Bizkit songs as their entrance music. Now, to avoid a lawsuit, I will not go as far as to express my personal feelings about the band. I’ll keep this strictly professional. What I’m struggling with is to understand what it is about their music that makes people want to hear them on their way down to the ring.
Limp Bizkit does the Undertaker’s theme music. Whoopdee-doo. The Undertaker’s gimmick as of now is not nearly as entertaining as his original one. But the music does match his character. However, in so many of these apps I’ve been getting, I’ve had characters ranging from billionaires to devil worshippers all wanting the same music. Now, there’s nothing wrong with liking Limp Bizkit. But I don’t know too many billionaires who listen to them.
Theme music is important in a character. I’m the biggest advocate of originality on the internet. (Say, that’s a catchy nickname. . . ‘The Advocate of Originality.’) And originality goes way beyond just the name. You can have an original name, your character could be something nobody has ever dreamt of before. But if your character is a stuck up snob, and you want to walk down the ramp with Fred Durst singing overhead, you can just about kiss your career goodbye.
Entrance music in an e-fed does not have to be ‘popular, mainstream’ music. It does not have to be what you like to listen to. Take Octavian’s music for example. It’s the theme from Gladiator. It fits his Roman character quite nicely. Or Toad’s music. If I recall, he said he got it from a video game. This is what I’m talking about. Use your heads, people.
So, to sum it up, originality is the most important factor in an e-wrestler. I want everybody to stretch themselves beyond the ‘popular’ music, and go out on a limb. You might be surprised how much it helps. –President Caldera
