Everyone says Undertaker has best entrance...I am quite partial to Finn Balor......

Your favorites?

Batista.

Austin.

The glass and heavy guitar...
Plus, all of the obscure, off-the-wall stuff he did with pickup trucks, ATV's, zamboni's, beer trucks, etc.

I'll take this one:

Randy Savage...the glitz...the glamour......be it pomp & circumstance or Metallica...the 20,000 dollar robes and the women.

Road Warriors back in NWA. Their music hit, they stormed the ring and dished out ass beatings.

Yes, Savage!

Although, I'll qualify that claim by adding that it was one of my favorites up until the neon cowboy wardrobe era, which didn't have the same impact for me.

Foley has said he always loved Taker's old-school entrance and wished he'd had one like it. He wrote about it in his book in the chapter on the Pittsburgh HITC. He described standing on top of the cage and literally feeling goosebumps watching as Taker made his way down the ramp.

Currently like Lesnar's and Wyatt's.

Taker's is great too.

GraniteCityDon · « **Reply #8 on:** September 09, 2015, 01:14:20 PM »

Finn Balor has the best for me at the moment. All time?...... Ultimate Warriors is up there with Austin & LOD

LurkerNoMore · « **Reply #9 on:** September 10, 2015, 07:26:55 AM »

WWE is giving out some shitty ass music to top level people for their entrance themes. What is this shit Sting is using?

Remember Rude and Fernandez - Ravishing and Raging - the "other" R&R express? We Will Rock You.
New Breed? Beastie Boys. Etc...

Chris Jericho had a pretty good entrance, especially when he debuted. It wouldn't be hard to make up a list of great entrances though.

Austin
Flair
Hogan
Warrior
LOD
The Rock
Mr Perfect
Bret Hart
Macho Man
Goldberg

Did you like Hogan's nWo or original WWF theme better, and how old are you?

There is no "right" or "wrong" answer. I'm just curious.

calfzilla · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2015, 09:36:01 PM »

I always liked the classic NWO music. Right now Bray Wyatt has a cool entrance. Triple H and is song by Motörhead is worth mentioning.

polychronopolous · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2015, 11:42:33 PM »

Million Dollar Man is worth a mention.

Hogan's NWO entrance with the strobe lights was pretty good, but I was around 10 years old when old school Hogan would come out to I'm a Real American and thought it was great. I'm not an American but that song was energetic.

Ya, I wasn't a fan of the cowboy hat and tassles. I thought he looked ridicolous then until he re-invented himself in WCW with team madness.
Undertaker always had a kickass entrance. I loved his biker gimmick entrance. Everyone always would stop to see what kind of hog Taker was gonna cruise out on.

Okay...

It sounds like you and I are around the same age.

I'll give Savage a pass, as it was the early-nineties, and consider what WWF had to work with.

Taker is said to have come up with the biker gimmick all on his own. I guess they gave him some creative freedom after that dumb-ass satanic angle.

Sasha Banks

The look, the song, her mannerisms. It all works. That's that why she's one of the hottest professional wrestlers in the world.

When she enters the ring, everyone else seems insignificant.

Helps that she's hot as fuck too.

I'm really liking her work, one of the best current divas.

The next match you see of hers, watch the way she takes falls.

Having studied BJJ and Judo, I'm pretty well versed in the art of falling. You can tell she's worked really hard at it.

Of all time?

The Y2J original clock entrance
Shawn Michaels when he came in wire
Undertakers Ministry with the monks and chanters and the guys holding the flame
The original DX entrance

Today?

Finn Balore when he's painted
Wyatt

Hulkster · « **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2015, 06:58:44 PM »

this man

-the huge ovation
-the intensity
-the colour, the physique.

Undertakers were good too but its apples to oranges.

Warrior was full of life. Taker was full of death LOL

polar opposites. Warrior running like a rocket. Taker walking like a zombie.

both suited their characters perfectly.

perfect ring entrances for two of the greatest gimmicks of all time.

If you don't watch New Japan, I suggest you check it out. I believe guys, here, will find the product more enjoyable than what WWE is currently offering.

You really think Nakamura is the best?

I'm really partial to Takahashi... Gotta admit also, that since AJ Styles went to NJPW, he's been even better!
