He certainly ranks in my Top 5, but I disagree on greatest ever. That absolutely has to go to HBK. I think their WM match was one of the greatest ever. Then again, Shawn has some of the greatest WM matches of all time...

Jericho
Razor
Flair
HHH/Benoit
Taker
Taker
Angle
Hart

There's no doubt that he's Mr. Wrestlemania... but what most people don't realize is that he had a losing record at WM over his career, going 6-11. While Shawn may have had problems putting guys over early in his career, he sure as hell didn't have an issue with it later on.

Since I haven't watched wrestling lately, I'm not sure what all Jericho has been up to... I have a feeling he's still working as a heel.

Oh, and I'm with you on King of Kings... The Game is right behind it, along with the Evolution theme.

He hasn't been in the WWE since last September, Orton put him out. He was last a heel yes. He's touring with Fozzy at the moment but may come back when the Summer gigs are done.

As for the greatest ever....I wouldn't say Jericho isn't either, he's very good Jericho but I think Shawn has just always had a higher quality of match. LIke the one with Jericho at WM19, the Triple one at Summerslam 2002, the Undertaker ones at the last two Wrestlemania's, the one with Cena at Wrestlemania 23, the one with Flair at Wrestlemania 24. And before he came back in 2002 he had great matches, like the Razor series, the one with Jeff Jarrett at In Your House 3, Diesel at Good Friends Better Enemies, Undertaker at Ground Zero and Badd Blood. Ric Flair also had some great matches back in the 80's though, with Magnum TA and Ricky Steamboat especially.

HBK is top 5 but IMO it's Jericho, his Mic Skills are second to none and he's ten times the athlete Shawn Michaels is, IMO he really is the.........wait for it..............BEST IN THE WORLD AT WHAT HE DOES!

So many good ones already listed- my personal favourite of course is The Undertaker - in his dead man entrances, although one of the biker entrances (without the bike!) had me thinking and shouting "YEESSS!" - when he came in to DDP in the ring. It's been a long while but I recall thinking a can of whoopass was about to be opened when 'taker casually walks to the ring and then waits... and casually gloves up whilst his Rollin' theme is playing. That was a moment and a half for me.

Another honourable mention goes to someone I had high hopes for but for whatever reason didn't cut it - The Boogeyman. Loved his entrances with the worm eating and general weirdness ;)

Jericho never carried Vince, The Spirit Squad, and ancient Ric Flair, Chris Masters, a green Randy Orton, and Batista to very good matches. ;)

I'd put Jericho up towards the top on the mic, and while he's behind the Rock as the greatest talker ever, he's still above just about everyone else. Shawn was excellent back in the DX days, and didn't really lose anything after returning. He wasn't ever as good as Jericho, but still one of the best talkers during his career. When you consider the entire body of work, the number of great matches, I just can't put Jericho above HBK. They're my two favorite wrestlers, but HBK beats Jericho out because his in the ring work was phenomenal. While he might not have been as athletic as Jericho (but he was no slouch either), he had the ability to literally carry anyone to a great match.

Shawn is no slouch, and he did take part in my favorite match of all time, his ladder match with Razor Ramon, I'm not bashing the guy but I just think Jericho is better, Shawn's CAREER blows Jericho's out of the water, but when it comes to a combination of mic skills and in-ring ability I don't think anyone beats Chris Jericho.

I used to like Kurt Angle's music because it had that cool fan fare in the beginning and such. I don't remember too many of them because I haven't watched wrestling in years. Plus, the wrestlers are probably all different now.

Also, back when I used to play Smackdown for the PS2, I would sometimes choose to play certain wrestlers solely for their entrance music. :D
