ExtremeChampionship Wrestling was a promotion that, despite its smaller structure, developed a reputation for hardcore wrestling, raunchy storylines, and a fanbase interested enough to increase the company's popularity. Due to that popularity, certain wrestlers in ECW would become notable names in the industry. Years later, ECW is considered by many fans to be a promotion that rose above expectations and made an impact.

An exciting aspect of ECW is the entrance theme songs, ranging from rock and metal to hip-hop and rap music. Each song is fitting for the wrestler it is associated with, for their personas, and for the fan's entertainment.


For much of his tenure in ECW, The Sandman entered the ring to this heavy metal song by the band, Metallica. This song was a good fit for The Sandman because it was intense and featured his name in the song title. The Sandman would carry his kendo stick with a can of beer, and with Enter Sandman blasting in the arena, drink his beer and hit himself in the forehead with the empty can.


Man in the Box, an intense rock song by the band, Alice In Chains, accompanied Tommy Dreamer to the ring when he started making his name in ECW. Tommy was often in ECW's midcard, using his popularity to help get other wrestlers over in feuds, but this song gave his presentation a boost due to the drums and guitars.


Whether Tommy was going over in a match or doing the favors in a match, fans knew he would give them his all in the match. This song was a good fit for ECW and gave fans a reason to be interested in Tommy's momentum.


Taz's song, inspired by the song, "War Machine" by the rock band, KISS, features drums and guitars to convey his gimmick of being a fighter who is determined to make it to the top. Taz had the ability with his submission wrestling skills to make most of his opponents tap out, and he also delivered a nasty suplex to boot.


El Guerrero Nomad was written by artist Harry Slash, along with Mickey Leigh, and means the nomad warrior in English. Super Crazy was a luchador who wrestled in ECW and developed a reputation as a high-flyer who would absorb a lot of punishment and make his opponent look powerful.


El Guerrero Nomad was designed to respect where Super Crazy came from and show how exciting he was to watch in the ring. From the music to the drums and guitars, ECW gave Super Crazy a catchy theme song.


This song was made by reggae and hip-hop artist Ini Kamoze. While Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge were in ECW as one of its most popular tag teams, Here Comes The Hotstepper would play them to the ring where Rock and Grunge would be in a brawl with their opponents.


This song is another theme made by Harry Slash, and even without lyrics, the song conveys Sabu's gimmick very well. Huka Blues sounds similar to a blues song with the instruments used in it, while the drums add to the message that Sabu will take any risk necessary to win his matches.


ECW fans will associate Huka Blues with Sabu's parachute pants ring gear, along with his steel chairs and hand gesture pointing to the sky. Harry Slash made a catchy tune for Sabu, a tune fitting for ECW.


While this song was not used as an entrance theme regularly, just twice for Paul Heyman, it was the theme song made for ECW's introductory video packages. The beginning featured an intense voice saying, "EXTREME... CHAMPIONSHIP... WRESTLING!" and proceeded to blast a guitar consistent with ECW's vibe as a promotion.


After two to three minutes of wild guitar music, the same voice re-emerges to exclaim, "THIS IS EXTREME!" This song will remain as ECW's anthem for the time to come, and seeing how engaging it is, that is appropriate.


This song was made for Kofi Kingston during the beginning of his WWE career on their ECW show. It is sung by an artist named Collie Buddz and is very suitable for Kofi's persona at the time. It is a reggae song and contains many lyrics, telling Kofi's story of where he comes from, in kayfabe, and staying away from his bad side.


"The Franchise" entered ECW rings to this rock song by the band, Deep Purple. Perfect Strangers had a good vibe within the instruments used in the song, guitars, and drums, to present Douglas as a heel wrestler to take seriously. Douglas portrayed a very effective heel in ECW, getting heel heat in many of his promos.


While Simon Diamond wrestled in ECW as a tag team wrestler on the undercard most of his time there, his entrance theme by the band, Drain STH, was very interesting to listen to. It's a song about deciding someone's choices for them, doing anything the person is told. Given how arrogant Simon Diamond was in character, that message is very appropriate.


Simon Diamond was full of himself and cut a very effective heel promo while trash-talking the fans. Simon Says, while bearing Simon Diamond's name, was also consistent with his persona, which helped the fans dislike him.


Former ECW composer Harry Slash took to Twitter and accused Tony Khan of ripping off his theme song. Slash then took a shot at Tony Khan by pondering whether Khan will send him a t-shirt, insinuating that AEW is nothing but a t-shirt company.


Subhojeet, a professional wrestling fan for over 20+ years, found his passion during the Monday Night Wars. With expertise honed over decades and a broad spectrum of interests including TV, movies, anime, novels, and music, he offers insightful analysis and coverage. Respected in the industry, Subhojeet keeps fans informed and engaged with his knowledge and perspective.


The song 'Quizs si, quizs no' by Sabu is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of a person grappling with the potential end of a relationship. The lyrics express the narrator's pain and confusion as he witnesses the love of his life drifting away, possibly into the arms of another. The title, which translates to 'Maybe yes, maybe no,' reflects the uncertainty and indecision that the narrator feels about the future of his love affair.


Throughout the song, the narrator is caught in a state of desperation, willing to accept lies and false promises just to hold on to the relationship. He pleads for his partner's affection, admitting that he has lost his dignity and pride in the process. The recurring theme of the song is the narrator's willingness to do anything to keep the love alive, even if it means ignoring the painful truth of his partner's infidelity. The emotional intensity of the song is heightened by the vivid imagery of past happiness, such as the memory of the moonlight on his lover's face, contrasting sharply with the present sorrow.


Sabu's delivery of the song adds to its emotional weight, with his passionate voice conveying the depth of the narrator's feelings. The song's narrative is a universal one, touching on themes of love, loss, and the struggle to let go. It resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of watching a loved one slip away and the desperate hope that they might return.


Yeah, I never really got it. He talks shit about Undertaker of all people and just generally acts weird. Isaac D. Yankem comes out to the ring to his horribly obnoxious dental drill theme song for a jobber match against Scotty 2 Hotty in an awful color vomit singlet.


After the commercial break, Sid kips up, chokeslams Michaels and sets up the powerbomb. Obviously, this fails, and Michaels hits a back body drop to counter. We get more of Sid being an idiot and getting reversed in the most embarrassing ways possible, which is basically the entire point of Shawn Michaels comebacks. At the end of the comeback, Shawn hits a triple Sweet Chin Music to end the match.


Savage immediately jumps into a bear hug, which for some reason Norton only holds for like 2 seconds. Dude, you could have won the match. He hits a sort of shoddy looking powerbomb on Savage to follow up, which gets him a near fall. Good god, this guy is awful.


An R&B, synth-pop and footwork-inflected track, Maiti says that the track is inspired by artists like Brent Faiyaz, Sampha and Ojerime. Written during the pandemic when Maiti and Sabu spent months isolating together, the drum and bassline-driven track addresses themes like love gone wrong and the desire to make amends.


The music video adds to the aesthetic of the emotion conveyed through the song, with both Maiti and Sabu driving around the streets of Bombay. The video is said to be a homage to their hometown of Navi Mumbai, which is a predominant theme of the video.


Thank you kfangurl for the group watch! I never would have watched this show without it, and I enjoyed it a lot! I love it fact I wanted more so I watched Hospital Playlist immediately after, which brought a lot of emotional feels. Interestingly, immediately after my first watch (I binged through in a few days), I too thought that Dr Romantic would not rank in my top tier of dramas. I found the human drama and cases more moving in HP as in I shed more tears. But over time I feel my fondness for Dr Romantic grow. So many awesome moments and character growth. These weekly posts and the group comments and camaraderie definitely helped too! I think there were more comments on the earlier episodes as they were much more controversial. Glad that the show mellowed out and had a lot to offer beyond the OTT soap drama!


First I want to once again take on the conclusion. I have problems with the close of many shows in KDrama land. For example, without getting into it, I was disappointed with the way Vincenzo closed itself out, seeming to me to have sold out on half its original premises, though it was satisfying to most of the fans who watched it. On the other hand, I had no problem with the way Mr. Queen finished, none, as it made entire sense to me given the totality of the show, rather than the interest I had in a single character, and I had no problem with the concluding episode of Dr. Romantic as it was originally intended. None, zero. I found it entirely satisfying. And it is because I think what makes a good ending for me is one that works within the original logic of the show as a whole, rather than what I wish for any particular character out of my affection or disaffection for that character. Thus for me, not only did it strike me that show worked through all its major plotlines and plot complications, but did so in a manner that was very much in line with what we have over the course of twenty episodes come to understand about its characters.
