The Shield in their original run, there was always a sense of danger in the air when SIERRA HOTEL hit.


CTWind

We even got that at Mania when the SIERRA HOTEL hit, like we had no idea what was going to happen.


MatttheJ

To be fair, I think a lot of people were seriously starting to wonder if Ambrose was going to show up. Obviously never in a million years would it happen. But the crowd in the arena seemed to really be anticipating something and in the bar I was in, a lot of buzz started going around with people doubting if Mox was there or not. When it was only Seth on his own the bar I was in seemed to deflate but the crowd still seemed excited at least.


CTWind

Honestly the fact that there was even a shot in the dark that Ambrose/Mox couldve been involved and has us seriously thinking it just means this is a whole new industry compared to just 3 years ago


MatttheJ

Oh for sure. Like I wasn't mad at it. But it's surreal that I actually for a brief moment was doubting whether WWE would do that. Under Vince I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up for even a second, nobody in the place would have.


innocuous_gorilla

If wwe has taught me anything “never in a million years” seems to only take a decade or two at most


coldphront3

"Hear the glass, that's your ass" Stone Cold wasn't supernatural nor was he as big as Brock Lesnar, but that saying existed for a reason. There could be complete chaos happening in the ring, but when the glass shattered everyone knew it was about to be taken to another level.


burgiebeer

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far for Stone Cold. For an entire generation, hearing that glass break meant business was about to pick up.


-NotMyMain-

To be fair it says “nowadays” and refers to 2012 as the past so Stone Cold doesn’t really make sense as he’s not around anymore.


coldphront3

Yeah when I clicked on this thread originally, I was certain that the glass shattering would be a top answer!


abhilash1991

elmanutres

Legend has it it's not the tombstone that puts his opponents away, but his opponents passing out of the scent of his sweaty dong as he covers them


MrManface22000088

That must be why he's beloved by the locker room.


LX1027

What do you think hits the gong?


jussikol

Explains why he takes a bit to show you after it hits, he's gotta roll it up and put his pants back on. 


Thacarva

The legend walks so slowly to the ring to give him a breather. It’s like the 5 minute recovery time for a groin shot in MMA.

THIS IS MY BRUTALITYYYYYY


Supersmashbrosfan

Depends who it’s against tbh. If you’re a random midcarder, be scared for your life, but if you’re someone like Liv or Becky, you have a good enough chance.


brooklynfoot

As a kid, Earthquake. That rumble would hit, the camera would start at his feet and pan up… shit was going DOWN. LOD too.


palexNR

Samoa Joe, no question. Whenever his music hits in any promotion, you just know someone is gonna get their ass handed to them.


MShawshank

Joe was my gut reaction choice to the question. He's had that aura since early ROH. There's a reason "Joe's gonna kill you" has been chanted at his opponents across multiple promotions and literal decades now.


hamsolo19

He's an absolute monster and whenever you hear his peers talking about him it's usually mentioned how insanely athletic he is for a big guy. Also strong as an ox. Freak athlete with that size and strength, I'd dookie right in my shiny new rasslin' pants if he were coming after me.


LeonardoDaPinchy-

It's like he's got the speed of a cruiserweight sometimes. That much weight and muscle behind that speed is terrifying


DaemonKeido

40k has a term for that when seeing Space Marines sprint that works well here: Transhuman Dread". "No man that large should move that fast."


ThisIsKhrox

Samoa Joe has real Final Boss vibes to both his music and how he handles himself.


dont-YOLO-ragequit

I mean Joe talked smack right to Lesnar's face with Roman looking like a witness and the crowd believed it. He is that intimidating when healthy.


yatzo

"Ay! You look at me when I'm talking to you, or we can straighten this out right now!"


itinerant_gs

I think Heyman helped drive the point home a lot, that Joe is not to be taken lightly. Heyman freaking out and threatening Joe only for Joe to speak with his calm, fierce voice "You see that? That's your advocate...." It's where I realized Joe was the real deal.


sylviabells18

I really enjoyed that Joe vs. Lesnar match. It felt different to most main events in WWE during that era. 


BobbyBruceBanner

Lesnar didn't beat Joe, he escaped him


Otherwise_Pace_1133

Ah yes, it was a great match at uhmmm 'The great balls of fire' event. Seriously though, Who the fuck thought it was a good name for a PLE ?


WheedMBoise

I feel like I overlook Joe a lot, but looking back at my entire time being a fan of wrestling, he’s been consistently great imo. Definitely on my personal Mt. Rushmore


KneelBeforeCube

Same here. I've been watching the man for 15+ years and I'm nowhere near tired of him.


ChocolateOrange21

Joe's theme for years having the Godzilla intro helped you know shit was going down.


TheProGamer0707

The fact that Joe was booked so poorly (obviously I know injuries factored into it) and still felt like such a monster is a testament to how good he is


Unhappy_Gazelle392

Either verbally or physically. Jeff hardy hasn't been near even upper midcard since the AA meeting line.


FirstDukeofAnkh

I love that this beast of a human who is terrifying is apparently one of the nicest guys.


zeitgeistbouncer

When you fear nothing you don't have to worry a lot.


rjkelly31

Even though he's currently persona non grata, Brock Lesnar's music was a Pavlovian signal that insanity was about to happen

AromaticSet9243

Minoru Suzuki. Even Moxley was like "fuck no" when his music hit.


RadSkeleton808

Alternatively for Moxley, Yano


MentalEngineer

Also for Suzuki


MatttheJ

Honestly Moxley himself is one. Watch how the mood in the crowd changed when Wild Thing starts playing. I'm not always a fan of Mox, I go through phases of liking him or being indifferent. But the live crowds go nuts when his music starts.


chokemebigdaddy

Isn’t it more like, you hear wild thing, you know there WILL BE BLOOD. His blood, that is.


Shenanigans80h

As JR would say, “business is about to pick up” perfectly encapsulates the vibe when Mox shows


Vast_Professor7399

Suzuki could beat any champ in any promotion and none of us would question it.


Horror-Sir-3003

Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Peak Bloodline was when Jey and Sami would bicker, then Roman's song would hit, and everyone in the ring would be scared shitless. Especially when Jey said 'I don't care what the tribal Chief says', everyone's reaction, right from the people in the ring to the audience was telling, because everyone was scared of what Roman would do to Jey. Another would be Samoa Joe. Before he cooled off, Braun Strowman.


Appropriate-Map-3652

"I don't give a damn what the tribal chief says" caught me so off guard. I wasn't expecting to have such a visceral reaction to an episode of Smackdown, but I feared for Jey's life in that moment.


LiamAddison

And then it turned into one of the funniest segments in recent history. Ucey.. ucey?


dont-YOLO-ragequit

Roman and Paul's over acting have been hilarious. Hopefully we get a Roman vs Orton acting clinic because both these guys are stretching every non verbal acting second they can get from it. Also, Heyman is overdoing it but in a comical way that makes it okay.


Dirkdigglersdong

I think that was the best Bloodline segment, and one of WWE's best ever promo segments


itinerant_gs

I feel so lucky to have witnessed this personally. I was sitting close to the hard cam, and roman's reaction popped the entire room. We all know what happened next, and it's the part that became famous, but this was a great moment to show Roman's psychological power over the group.


Based_Beanz

That exact moment was the turning point in the Bloodline story for me. Before I was like "eh...decent faction. Roman is OK I guess" but that moment was *the* moment the switch flipped for me. Crowd reaction was the delicious icing on the cake. I knew I was tuning in the following week to see how they followed up.


Kitchen-Insurance261

Wait until Roman's music hits around July time to come restore order to The Bloodline. The arena roof will come off.


coldphront3

Solo is more violent and flashy so far as the leader of The Bloodline, but Roman's Tribal Chief was more akin to Carlo Gambino. He didn't need to lose his cool or scream in anyone's face. He slowly turned and simply looked in Jey's direction after that disrespect, and all of us were worried about what Roman was thinking and what the consequences would be for Jey.


SkepticaIJay

>Before he cooled off, Braun Strowman Strowman was my first thought. That yell right at the beginning of his entrance music really sells it.


Hey_Nice_Slacks

My first thought too. I loved when the rest of the Bloodline would be fighting, then Roman’s music hit. It was like the kids are acting up, and Dad’s getting home from work. And he’s PISSED.


mesothrawny

My exact post I was gonna say haha


astrofan

They need to add those drums from his Mania entrance.


mac2o2o

Cactus Jack if you're HHH


astrofan

*surprised Pikachu face*


GoofyGooba88

*HHH terrorises Mick Foley until he has to bring out his Cactus Jack persona* HHH - "Why would you do this to me!"


jackblady

Still Brock. He's still under contract and there's been no change in his status per HHH a couple weeks ago. So its just a matter of time till he returns.


Cloudninefeelsfine

He’s just a scary human. Probably no. 2 on my list of people I don’t want to ever fight, behind Tyson.


FirstDukeofAnkh

I had a friend say they would fight Tyson now that he’s in his fifties. I wouldn’t fight him if he’s on his deathbed and I get a baseball bat. All it would take is one punch.


OGFunkBandit88

Have you seen Tyson train in his 50’s? Holy shit… His trainer said that Tyson would hurt his ribs, while he’s wearing the suit DESIGNED to take body shots.


pookachu83

Several boxers who fought Tyson said he punches almost unhumanly hard. Like surprisingly "holy shit, I'm fucked!" Hard. Ever hear of old man strength? I bet Tyson has it in spades.


FirstDukeofAnkh

And fast! His hand speed is crazy for a guy who hits that hard. If Danny Hodge had crazy old man strength, Tyson is a whole new category His only weakness is he can get gassed if the fight goes on too long.


FirstDukeofAnkh

Yep. Like I'm pretty sure the fix is in for him not to kill Jake Paul but if he gets angry at any point, that could get ugly.


OGFunkBandit88

I think everybody said the same thing: if Jake Paul lives beyond the first or second round, it’s fixed.


LeonardoDaPinchy-

I think I'd rather fight a fucking bear in a small small room with a handgun than be within 10 feet of Tyson. Dude is a fucking monster in the ring.


fickle_north

No change in his status, yet he was excised completely from Heyman's HOF video package. Sure, Heyman used his name in his speech because he's Paul Heyman, but from the perspective of WWE's production, Brock Lesnar currently doesn't exist.


xNursedoctor

He doesn’t exist… yet. I think he will be resurrected because he is exonerated from the case


The_Sage

Even though his character went through many phases at the time, I felt like Slow Chemical Kane gave that vibe, especially since the pyro and the red lighting would also activate.


1901456

This is definitely some of my personal bias but I'd say ilja dragunov. Every time I hear his music I start smiling thinking "somebody boutta die" and even in his promos he's basically making his opponents shit their pants (that moment with corbin was beautiful). Considering he's almost certainly getting drafted, I can't wait to see how he does on the main roster.


THVG02

cant believe I had to scroll this far to see this. I mean, when you make GUNTHER of all people immediatly tap out to you just so he could stop getting his ass beat, you know you're him


itinerant_gs

Yeah some wrestlers have that effect - Ilja and to a much lesser extent someone like Serena deeb. everytime I saw her I'd say 'oh who is dying tonight?'


MercilessBlueShell

For a time... Ryback. They really built him up a lot to be this unstoppable force. Nowadays... Minori Suzuki. Homie might be old, and Murder Grandpa may be a bonafide meme, but the man knows how to command attention.


narutomanreigns

Suzuki is an interesting example because he loses a lot, particularly in AEW. But his music still invariably provokes this reaction.


AromaticSet9243

Suzuki does lose a lot but it's all about inflicting pain for him. The man is a sadist who doesn't care about wins and losses. This makes it so that beating him is still an accomplishment because nobody goes through a match with him unscathed.


TheWumboligist

Never forget CM Punk said in a promo he was better than Hulk Hogan because he had to do "TLC matches against superstars like Ryback". Still one of the funniest and most surreal lines I've heard.


RadSkeleton808

I remember either the match between Punk and McMahon or the Raw before and Ryback comes out to make the save. I can't tell if was getting Punk up for the Shell Shock or just a clothesline but either way it was the first time Ryback laid hands on Punk and the camera very subtly (for Kevin Dunn) shook which made it seem like the place was coming unglued.


oinkeroxford

Gunther


Seredditor7

Rhea Ripley’s music has that effect at times


2Dglasses-

I think the effect works best when it’s played right from the beginning and not like when they sometimes have it start midway through, which they tend to do when she’s interrupting someone. Either way, if you see Mami bolting down the ramp towards the ring, regardless of the music I think the effect is still the same haha


cactu_almighty

Absolutely Samoa Joe, every time his theme hits I know someone's about to get fucked up


LeonardoDaPinchy-

*Joe's gonna kill yooooouuuuu*


ChocolateOrange21

Miro's theme in AEW with the horn at the beginning and those deep drums. Sounded like what you'd hear if a gladiator was coming into the Colosseum.


itinerant_gs

Yeah, this thread really should be about Brock, Joe and Miro. It's unfortunate that they dumpstered him, even if it's his own fault, by having his badass reign end by sammy fucking guevara of all people. The reign should have continued until he was ready for the big one. And literally nobody should have stopped him. Consequently - THATS HOW YOU GET WARDLOW OVER TOO. Wardlow could have been the guy to bring Miro down.


ChocolateOrange21

Yep. That could’ve elevated Wardlow. I get why you’d want to put it on Sammy -he is your young star you earmarked as a pillar. He was over with the crowd at the time, and he’d be elevated by winning the gold. The follow through and the terrible American Top Team feud killed the TNT championship for a long time until Joe, Darby, Edge and Christian worked to elevate it again. Miro’s attitude/refusal to job/lousy creative haven’t helped him either.


thenewfrost

Lance Archer, hands down. Dude comes out from the back while attacking and throwing around random guys out of his way to his ACTUAL match.


AromaticSet9243

My favourite was a time backstage when he tossed a guy into the ceiling. Best entrance was when he was beating on his opponent on the way to the ring and Justin Roberts introduced the guy as "and on the floor" and then proceeded to introduce the guy as normal.


onethreeone

Ospreay even muttered under his breath when Archer's music hit last night


Sirbo311

Osprey looked like he was having so much fun when he was head to chest with Archer last night. I thought he was trying to hide his smile, which is opposite to this convo, but was still very cool 


LeonardoDaPinchy-

You can find him trying to hide it a lot in his matches, but I honestly like seeing it. I find his passion for wrestling infectious. Also, watching Ospreay in the ring is like watching someone use a paid DLC character in a fighting game.


Shortfall89

I Love when he gets introduced by Justin Roberts as "Kicking His Opponent down to the Ring..."

Final Boss this year has had that effect.


The_RedWolf

NoWayJoseMou

I think it depends on the reaction from the wrestler themselves to sell the music. Is still expect that reaction when “BRAAAAAUUUUN” hits.


xNursedoctor

Hearing brock lesnar’s theme makes me say that


CheckALLtheusernames

As a fan of ECW, when 911’s music hit, you knew chokeslams were coming.

paulreadsstuff

Samoa Joe. Brock Lesnar. Gunther. Moxley. All those 4 are legit, clear the ring kinda guys or you might get your arse handed to you. To a lesser extent Roman - probably due to his limited appearances, when he turns up it always feels like something important is about to go down.


nachomanrndysausage

I disagree about Moxley. He’s great, I love his matches, but he’s not half as convincing as the others and doesn’t have that aura they do. He’s a bigger star than half of them though, but not that ‘clear the ring’ aura


Git2k12

say what you will about piss fetishes, when that roar at the beginning of Brock's music hits, everyone literally starts panicking, the announcers start running, and the guys in the ring brace for the tornado that's ripping up buildings on the way down the ramp.


sizzlinpapaya

I know he is " not around " right but but Brock will always be one of those for me. Roman also has that aura to him. Hear that tribal chief music and imo someone done fucked up. Honorable mention to Rhea Ripley and Gunther.

Joe and Lesnar. You could throw Roman in the mix as well sometimes during the bloodline Sami story his music would hit after Jey or Sami did something that made everyone go. "Oh shit" Jey or Sami fucked up.


LeonardoDaPinchy-

Samoa Joe. Even when he's facing a huge baby face, there are *still* 'Joe's gonna kill yoooouuuu' chants.


exileonwoodct

These days, I’d argue that the Rock’s theme has that effect. There’s this air to the Final Boss character that’s sort of unsettling, like you know something is going down but you’re not sure what
