The Greatest to ever do it . Real WWE fans hold this guy in extremely high regard and hope he gets inducted into the hall of fame soon 🐐❤
Jim Johnston is a legend. He gave everyone from main eventers to lower midcarders iconic theme songs. Not even CFO$ and especially Def Rebel can accomplish what Jim Johnston did for the WWE. It's a shame they fired him though.
He should've been in the hof years ago
Who would induce him tho?
I agree. He is a genius.
@@justinarchibald1886should have been Vince or maybe Hogan
The guy who made iconic theme song for wrestles that we all know today
@WWE bring him back!
JJ, the true GOAT of wrestling theme songs 🐐.
Mr. Johnston is an absolute Legend. most of the legendary wrestlers we all know and love wouldnt work so good without johnstons theme songs.
So far, I haven't liked any of the new songs so I definitely miss him.
I'm still not clear on why they stopped using him and started using those other producers then fired him?
Take with a grain of salt. From what I remember he was transitioned/“promoted” to Vince’s WWE FILMS division where he was supposed to be a “Hollywood” level music producer.
Since he couldn’t do BOTH. They hired CFO$ to transition Johnston out.
I believe there were some money disputes when WWE FILMS failed and Johnston was not paid properly and he and McMahon fought. I believe he was also told his “style” was old and tired. McMahon then tried to demote to being a consultant to CFO$.
JJ refused and was let go. Bad blood ever since.
Just based off what I remember from dirt sheets, and WWE website promoting JJ as music producer for WWE FILMS.
@KerryRasch that makes sense. I'm a very casual follower these days. I tried to hang around after the ruthless aggression era emeded, but it was too boring. The biggest difference I notice when I do watch is the themes are so uninspiring and don't really fit the characters now. They also aren't memorable anymore. I remember I used to want to lookup themes online because they were so good.
@KerryRasch they need to hire him back as long as him and trips get along. Unless tko has a problem with him I think it would be great. No telling what actually went on behind the scenes though. He did make some dang good entrance music that you could jam the whole song and enjoy it.
Jim Johnston remains the GOAT! Long overdue for the WWE Hall of Fame!!
Man WWE needs him back really bad! The product would improve so much more just with him behind the themes even as a consultant
Tim Burton has Danny Elfman
Rev Theory also sang Blue Mountain State theme song
Jim Johnston: The Legend
Wwe NEEDS Jim Johnston! AEW could use him too!
Razor Ramon and Steve Austins songs are similar.
Considering the frequency we hear wrestling themes at NHL games (and presumably other sports) I think they do work in other contexts...at least that one.
Jim was half musician and half foley artist.
Great video, but a little recording tip, back up and increase your mic volume in post, or invest in a pop filter. Other than that, I'm glad someone is giving Jim Johnston his flowers.
This guy did so much to the entire wrestling push in the late 80s in the Uk. Unstable, ultimate warrior, I play it regularly still. He’s one of the special ingredients to the recipe when it was at its best. He’s bigger to me than most of the wrestlers
I love Jim Johnston's music. The little hooks and riffs that wrestlers had, it was a lot like the video game music at the time with the short loops and all.
No... Jim Johnston IS the greatest forget all those movie themes ect...
Jim was and is a genius... the music he made was different from ANYTHING that has ever been made and remember most of the themes didn't even have any vocals at all.
He was my childhood hell the very first 2 albums i ever bought were WWF the music vol 3 and 4 then i bought every other one after that.
He is very unappreciated and should never have been treated that way... sure the new guys that took over have made a few good themes but they can not compare to Jim... they are bland, boring and have no heart or individuality to them 🤷🏻♂️ Jim is one in a million
Guys like this deserve credit with at least a HOF induction, Terri the Make Up Lady, Earl "Screw Job" Hebnar
If it aint broke dont fix it jim.johnston should of never been let go
Jim Johnston for decades then Def Rebel, the saddest thing about this video is that it ends
Legend!
Jim Johnston is like the Marty O'Donnell of the wrestling industry.
Golddust's theme was underrated.
Jim Johnston is a cornerstone of the WWF
"Unsung"
Cruel irony.
If you click this we're lucky we stumbled apon this master piece
"Expecially?"
First ballot HOF
Why isn't he already in the HOF??
Hey Jim Vince is gone come back
He's a legend
Another reason WWE’s low t era is trash. We lost amazing music. Now the “superstars” come out to sound effects. We get stardust going to football fields at night in a suv for some reason and a bracelet with a dogs name and are told it’s better than Austin vs McMahon
Bro it’s not that deep you don’t have to watch any of it😂😂😂
Johnson is the Williams & Zimmer of Wrestling, wwe needs to put him in the HOF
