TIER LIST: WWE Raw, SmackDown & NXT Show Themes

[@angrybuffalofan1750]

“I’m not a Nickelback fan or a racist” Adam Pacitti

[@jarrettjordan]

ANGRY BUFFALO FAN he said that like he's not sure which is worse....and I'm not sure either

[@ozzylution]

I don't know Nickelback situation. Did they share/tell something racist?? Can someone explain to me please?

[@angrybuffalofan1750]

Oğuzhan Yürümez oh no. They just copy the same formula for all their albums and singles and it’s kinda annoying

[@marvthemartian001]

@@jarrettjordan a racist

[@jarrettjordan]

Oğuzhan Yürümez no, nothing like that. Their only crime was making shitty music. Apparently, someone liked it because they sold a ton of records; but, good luck getting anyone to admit it.

[@JR19759]

Can we please have a video of Ross singing all of the WWE Show Themes. We need one after this tier list.

[@cameraboimykul]

Oh god, Ross doing All Out Life

[@mikebuthge9762]

If we can have Adam singing "What happened to that wrestler" then surely, we can have Ross singing any of these

[@paddyjmonaghan1092]

It should be a prediction punishment for Ross

[@timothygraham4304]

I'm normally against spamming, but this is for the greater good, so spam his soc meds!😂

[@joeswar123]

I honestly think the Tier lists have taken over the podcast as the best piece of Cultaholic. Excellent stuff.

[@ethan_benfield]

Tier list: Cultaholic video types

[@richardthepastamancer6619]

They are not called Gary KZbin by chance.

[@CyrusTheFrog]

They're about even for me, but I agree I like the more long form conversational stuff in addition to the more standard YT fare.

[@undriftedpop788]

I would like your comment but you have 69 likes

[@ThatsJustAaron]

Adam: Put Are You Ready in the bin! Ross: Okay. **puts it in the Alright tier** Ross: _See, I pulled a sneaky on ya._

[@papercup7006]

I love that in any other scenario, putting nickleback above AC/DC should result in a psych evaluation

[@SlendyPlaysGames]

“Across the Nation” will always be my absolute fave theme opener growing up in the R.A. era. lovely video lads❤️

[@PersonaofWill]

Agree Gengar

[@motltd4]

I'm never going to ask Adam for song recommendations

[@Deedo_67]

Gustav Rosengren it’s not they put nickleback first, it’s they put burn it to the ground first. That song seriously slaps, even is nickleback isn’t good.

[@MortanAMrk]

Yeah that is like the only good nickleback song.

[@thedeadmanfan09]

WWE got rid of CFO$ because they didnt want people to confuse them with Undisputed Era (Cole, Fish, Oreilly, Strong) I completely made this up

[@looneylogic6479]

Just get jim Johnson in the HOF

[@craigsmith2135]

This is the first time I’ve ever agreed with Adam... the nickelback theme was awesome!

[@diabeticman2194]

Nickelback theme and Enemies are my two favourite Raw themes; they always got me pumped to see the show

[@ww4l]

I like Nickelback but I hated it as the theme

[@MagnumCalibre75]

"to be loved" brings back SO MUCH memories...

[@benjaminsayer8815]

Black and Blue has to be my favourite of all time, simply because it was when I was most into wrestling at around 12 years old

[@dylanpeters8194]

Yea it's the best

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Wow I'm so sorry for you, 2012 is bottom of the barrel WWE

[@smartie4138]

Adam: i like some nickelback songs Internet: wait thats illegal

[@Joe90h]

The Nickelback hatred has become a bit overblown over the years. I mean, Photograph is truly a terrible piece of media, but there are worse bands out there.

[@andrewilliamson6538]

Yep Thats 3 Years ban from social media please see psychiatric help.

[@callumwalls7330]

who else had another tab open to remember the songs?

[@YouSoRusso]

Glad I wasn't the only one going through them again haha.

[@undriftedpop788]

I honestly love legendary and enemies they both get me pumped up and I love em.

[@WickedCool23]

Guys, it’s CFO$ as in Chief Finicial Officers with a $ as a stylized “s”

[@dbone3356]

Wasn't watching NXT back then, but Welcome Home is a great song. Much better than bottom of Alright.

[@gregoryfuller9736]

Welcome home is the best nxt theme.

[@jameslloyd1677]

For me “Denial” by We Are Harlot is criminally underrated. Was used as a secondary song like 2015ish on RAW

[@MikesCabbages]

Had it in my playlist for longest time

[@YouSoRusso]

Introduced me to We Are Harlot and went and eventually saw them live. Totally agree.

[@matthewcarvalho1336]

I actual grew up with "burn it to the ground" and that song really is the best btw

[@LucienVonKreuz]

Holy fuck you grew up with that intro? Shit I'm old

[@dbone3356]

It's top of alright. Maybe bottom of Lovely.

[@cooldude2251]

They really put Enemies in Alright??? Woow I'm turnt that was good song but a great theme for the start of a wrestling show

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Legit might be my favorite RAW theme

[@hmsbballer11]

Across the nation is the best!!

[@WhelmedButReady]

I just want my all time favorite theme to be represented. Papa Roach's "To Be Loved." Oh how I miss growing up as Ruthless Aggression kid😉👊🏾👍🏾

[@aether3965]

Love to see some more Garry YouTubing

[@belllmont]

Ross’ singing Jack impression was phenomenal

[@charliearnold6992]

I cannot believe Adam said that Shinedown's Enemies is "not a good song". It introduced me to the band. I've since seen them live twice and they are one of my favourite bands. I'm deeply offended by Adam's statement 😂

[@vonnerseite]

Said the same thing about all out life by slipknot.....

[@cooldude2251]

Fr. Like let's say it ain't a great song, it is super fitting as an opening and is high tempo. I dont get it

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Guy put Nickelback over Slipknot, Green Day and ACDC...

[@dbone3356]

Glad Ross was able to tall sense into Adam for Across The Nation.

[@dbone3356]

Ryan McCoombs (according to a quick Google search) was the lead singer of a band named Drowning Pool, which would make sense

[@chaoszone550]

I agree with Adam about the Burn it to the Ground 100%. Nickelback might be a meme but this song's an absolute banger, especially for a wrestling intro.

[@suicunesorcerer4865]

when I think of the og Smackdown theme, I just think about Botchamania and how that made this one 10x better

[@Fagulhu]

God, i needed this today

[@chrisbinwang2119]

Across the Nation is the best Raw theme, I remember resetting the PS2 just to watch that intro

[@hintonus]

This is one of my favourite videos you've ever done, absolutely dying at some of Ross' impressions 😂

[@nikkipayton7420]

Great list Garys! Speaking of music, I'd love to see a wrestling game soundtrack tier list. The No Mercy songs are iconic of course, but some of the early SvR games had bangers as well!

[@TheGreatDevlin]

How on earth do they keep finding guys names "Gary KZbin"? Is that a common name in the UK?

[@NotQuiteCupid]

The fact that Are You Ready is tiered higher than Black and Blue AND This Life is absolutely BONKERS! If I were to choose any song to be used as a Show Theme: Raw: Pyro by Shinedown Smackdown: Watch Out by Memphis May Fire NXT: Thousand Golden People by Ocean Grove or by Motionless in White

[@barrycomerford18]

This was the best tier list yet, can we please have pacitti on more of these, the nerve of someone to defend nickleback ( who i like ) and berate acdc ( who i love ) in the same video is not only ballsy but admirable

[@MrJKMerriweather]

The band CFO$ is pronounced Cee Eff Ohs, as in Chief Financial Officers.

[@7Sean7]

I miss Adam and Ross doing reactions. Great chemistry

[@irishONgaming]

Adam I am a massive Green Day fan and I have to say! Yeah Know Your Enemy is just okay. Honestly American Idiot and the stuff before it is well worth a listen, especially the album Warning and Dookie.Anything after American Idiot is pretty hit or miss though

[@c_ross2279]

I had forgotten about Hangman by Rev Theory too, looked it up and I remembered it as being a bumper theme instead of an official show theme.

[@xiii_inc]

For me the best theme will always be Rise Up for smackdown. And Across the nation for Raw(To be loved is my favourite raw theme but ATN fits better) EDIT: All Out Life only going in alright has upset me😂

[@sherifnathan7225]

Just waiting for Adam to get to Are You Ready. AKA his favourite theme song of all time according to his streams.

[@ameenaceesay1376]

He did a pretty good Brian Johnson impression, all things considered

[@RH-eq5jy]

I have to agree with Adam, burn it to the ground is honestly the best

[@ciaranmcguinness8900]

The Night should have gone in the bin, it lasted far too long and Enemies wasn't great but it was sure as fuck better than that absolute drivel

[@officialdcw3360]

Love these tier lists!

[@specialbeamcannon1]

"I got a jet black heart, It's all fucked up, and it's fallin' apart."-

[@fiadhearthpony6177]

adam and Ross hurting my soul by shit talking green Day, please Jack, hunt them down

[@melissaroszkowski8911]

Where's that Thorn in your Eye video w/ Jericho, DLo and Mick? Having trouble finding it if anyone knows. Thanks

[@majorairsoft6115]

can't be the only one who a vlog of them all meeting at the office for the first time in months its gonna be so wholesome

[@TheARWarby]

The reason CFO$ stopped doing the themes is because they are actually wrestlers as well and got a big push so didn't have as much time to faff around with music. They are, of course: Cole. Fish. O'Reilly. $trong. Conspiracy theory, or truth?

[@paddyjmonaghan1092]

Love your videos! Adam, I think lockdowns getting to your head now mate... Nickleback shouldn't be even close to the best 🙈😩

[@BagShagandSkedaddle]

Totally agree with Adam, “Are You Ready” is awful

[@cooldude2251]

I hate it how they play it at the end of every Smackdown highlight on youtube. I hate ACDC every single one of their songs is overrated and if they really wanted to choose one it should've been Hells Bells at least.

[@justinrussomusic661]

You guys killed this one, had me rolling lol. Can you guys have soMe with all 3 of you guys together? Love these!

[@furrymemelady622]

Also, the Actual song "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria slaps, not the WWE edit

[@thedeadmanfan09]

When i first got into wrestling, To Be Loved was the RAW theme and I loved it. Still love Papa Roach to this day (not Born For Greatness) Update: Burn It To The Ground was good too and i remember being blown away at how well it sounded live when Nickelback performed it at TTTT

[@therks8409]

Dusted (NXT UK Theme) and You make the rainfall (NXT Season 3) should've been ranked

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Dusted is top tier

[@jordza2k11]

thank god someone other than me likes Burn it to the Ground, just a shame they're so dumb Chad Kroeger had Avril Lavigne and didn't thank his lucky stars how high he'd punched

[@kozlov13]

I’m a huge Green Day fan and Know Your Enemy absolutely belongs in the bin, both as a song and as a wrestling theme

[@ameenaceesay1376]

Thorn in your eye and to be loved are the best for raw and beautiful people and rise up are the best for smackdown in my opinion. Also, wasn’t there that one song used for the rookie divas in the old NXT? In season 3? I think it was missed out here.

[@sikguitarist]

41:59 "My mouth doesn't move that way Adam" - Ross Tweddell 2020

[@Warspud723]

The one song missing from this was Invincible by Adelitas Way on WWE Superstars. That show was my gateway into wrestling

[@boredgeek]

You guys need to give Welcome Home a good listen cause it is an amazing song!

[@Remnant13]

You have earned my like for being so brave as to put Nickelback in the best.

[@iReece4498]

Across the nation and to be loved are the best for me generally. Rise up probably my favourite smackdown one.

[@iiiiiiii9513]

honestly if Ross sang all of these songs, i’d put them all up a tier

[@mylesmohammed901]

You know what’s funny about Born for Greatness, they only played it ONCE. after that it would be a recap of what happened last week/night for PPV. Then just “Welcome to Raw, Bitches. Here’s The Miz”

[@LukeTyas51]

Fully agree with Adam here, burn it to the ground is the greatest raw theme there’s been and my mind will never change

[@shinobu1886]

Its good, but not as good as across the Nation, or even to be loved.

[@HelloMeAndy]

Ross: "Ok I'll put it in the bin" *puts Are you ready in alright*

[@waz207]

Thorn in your eye was the opening for Monday Night Raw and All Together Now was when they swapped to the “War Zone” midway thru (sometimes with a new pyro entrance) Perhaps it was the other way around tho...been a while!

[@Crippler101]

I met Ryan Mccombs once at a bar not far from where I live, It was Groundhog's Day 2019. I didn't recognize him cause I don't follow any version of Drowning Pool religiously. He asked if I knew the song "Bodies" and I said "yeah, that song by Drowning Pool " he said "yeah, I sang for them". Just mentioned it like it was no big deal. I only talked to him cause my social butterfly of a cousin was just chatting with him so I just thought it was an old buddy of his... I was wrong. I'm glad I didn't recognize him at first cause I would have probably fanboy'd over him and say something odd like "HoLy CrAp I LiStEnEd To YoU eVErY fRiDaY nIgHt!!!" Needles to say, he was a pretty cool and chill dude... especially later that night when he got s*!tfaced

[@gregoryfuller9736]

Welcome home is a really good and has lyrics nxt just never plays them

[@danielclark379]

They would play underneath the commentators as they introduced the show until the first entrance of the night. But the lyrics are not PG anyways😂

[@antonius278]

know your enemy is the best smackdown theme song

[@VYLEMUSIC]

ADAM SINGING HERO JUST MADE MY LIFE LMAO THAT FUCKING SONG

[@xavierwashington5408]

Hangman was actually an ok song, but I don’t blame them for not knowing bc who the hell was watching Smackdown at that time

[@hevytimes]

I LOATHE that Adam makes sense with the Burn it to the Ground... but he is right. It works for Raw.

[@NAPLEGROVE]

"Sitting in your house vibing, listening to tiesto" pissed myself, but agree that I couldn't do that

[@adambooth4993]

It's a shame you didn't include The Energy by Shinedown, it was the secondary song for raw for ages and it still bangs now!

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

I like burn it to the ground. Thanks for this! That's because I am a wrestling fan and an alcoholic, so it makes sense

[@yeerski7]

More tier lists with Pacitti please

[@eXaltedBaldGuy]

Rev Theory’s “Hangman” was the Smackdown theme on WWE12.

[@mrterrychaos]

The Countdown theme playing while counting down to Royal Rumble entrants is something I want more than anyone reasonably should.

[@ethan_benfield]

im glad they put take a chance in lovely lovely. that song never gets enough love, i was at a show live and it really got the crowd going

[@LowMan101]

Tsk... they missed a MAJOR one.... "Dusted" - Astroid Boys for NXT UK. While I am mostly being silly... it is pretty good.

[@arinleoczko1250]

NOW GET THE GUNS THE DRUGS

[@ameenaceesay1376]

From my generation I’ll take the fall.

[@JoeMHall]

Burn it to the Ground was GOD AWFUL! Nothing will ever beat Across the Nation for Raw

[@munchmahquchi4050]

Favorite RAW theme is "...to be loved" and Smackdown is "Born 2 Run" just 2 songs I can listen to over and over(edit: AND RISE UP!! BANGER!). The nickelback raw theme is good but not as replayable

[@Deedo_67]

The burn it to the ground theme is my personal favorite. Just ignore the fact it’s Nickleback, the song pumped up the crowd always.

[@calvinfolan1736]

'Move to the music, play that fucking music, live through my music yeah" Such a cracking tune, it brings me back! Across The Nation is still an absolute banger!

[@joshua_btw1761]

Do ranking Wrestlemania theme songs

[@milothaloser1443]

So ecstatic to see someone else who loves Burn it to the ground

[@neosgaming1]

Me going into this video: union underground across the nation is the best raw theme Me after hearing them sing it: I hate this song

[@TheThird1977]

Agreed with most, though feel "Roar of the Crowd" should be in the BEST. Why no WWECW themes?

[@TheOneCalledJeeves]

Tick Tick Boom by The Hives would have made a fantastic theme for Raw.

[@cdc3337]

Man I tell you what, I do not think it is Raw's best theme they ever had, but I agree with Adam that hearing Burn It To The Ground to kick off Raw was badass!! I was in middle school at the time and always got excited for it

[@tylergrey7985]

Burn it to the ground was my fav as well so gassed when I found out when I wasn’t the only one

[@RobColbourne]

I’m with Adam here, I bloody love Burn it to the Ground (I am a Nickelback fan though)

[@noahturtle3975]

HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE BLACK AND BLUE?!?!?!?

[@noahturtle3975]

And then but TAKE A CHANCE in Lovely Lovely Lovely?!?! Wrong!

[@clarissa182]

I loved the Burn It To The Ground theme.

[@bluboiiReal]

Black and blue is great.

[@Tacoman1021]

My favorite Raw theme, will probably always be "The Night" from like, 2014.
