WCW: Sting

It's hard to argue that Sting didn't rip his 'crow' character from the movie of the same name. However, it stuck for over a decade, and that's a testament to the performer that Sting is.

As we with many superstars, the theme was integral to the introduction and immediate success of the character. Originally debuting with a longer intro, the theme was able to set the atmosphere instantly and send chills down your spine. The amazing thing was, that it did this without a "IF YA SMEEEELLLL" or glass shattering. This theme was so simple, yet masterful, especially as it gradually speeds up.

Sting would run with this theme until 1999, when he made the switch to Metallicas 'Seek and Destroy'. While this theme didn't quite carry the same atmosphere, it worked with how Stings character had evolved, and his subsequent themes in TNA would follow a similar style.
