I listed the Buddy Rose promo & Ricky Steamboat entrance. How many of the Unknown Titles were later used as an entrance by the said talents?
Thanks, Eddie!
At least Billy Graham later used his closing theme "Eye of the Tiger" as the Entrance Theme. It's one of the few where the instrumental version was not used. I should have better written "Closing Theme", not just "Win". There are still some promos and often there are no "Unknown Titles" (luckily!), I have found some closing themes with title and artist :-) I also try to find the remaining "Unknown Titles" to replace them with Title and Artist :-) 2 Closing themes I could already find later :-)

Often, the same closing theme was used on a wrestler (for example, "Him him up" for The Iron Sheik)

By the way: the Championship Wrestling Theme, which was used on September 18th 1982 and on September 25th 1982 is: "Gemini Dream" - The Moody Blues. It's the same theme as All Star Wrestling 1982-1984.
To the Steamboat Theme "Also Sprach Zarathustra": He used "Sirus" again from March 24th 1986 on Prime Tme Wrestling - WrestleMania IV (March 27th 1988)

Here is the video for the Buddy Rose Promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-KNmXdrcRQ

As All Star Wrestling Theme was used once "Cruise Control" - Dixie Dregs (Championship Wrestling Theme) on September 25th 1982
As All Star Wrestling Theme on December 24th 1983 was used a Dubbed Theme (Unknown Title) on WWE 24/7

I took care of these, Someone else can do the rest. To save time in the future for those who add these, could you please start including the video proof when you originally post the info? Thanks.

I can add all of the "winning" themes but how? As an exit theme?

Done, but I am not sure if I should add Billy Graham's exit theme "Eye of the Tiger" as one of his exit themes or add a note to his first theme saying something like "Used as an exit theme since September 11th, 1982".
Graham began using "Eye of the Tiger" as an entrance theme on November 13th, 1982.

Thanks for taking care of these. Yeah, I'd add a note stating that it was fist used as an exit theme between x dates. Like how Kiera Hogan's 1st Impact theme is.

Thanks, Eddie! Thanks, Nafip!

I must confess, I forgot the video and it occurred to me later. But I will get better :-)

Edit: @Nafip and @BretC:

I edited my post because I forgot All Star Wrestling. I'll catch up with that, then you don't have to change that too much later in the order.

BDaMan612 has posted a video under WWE Signatures with all WWE signatures. Ok, there are three signatures missing, but from 0:39-1:01 the correct video is included for "6th: WWF: What the world is watching (V3)" - Jim Johnston. In the current video only the theme is correct, not the video.
The Killer Bees used their theme earlier on All Star Wrestling October 12th 1985

Sorry for the delay, but the exit themes are added. As for the signatures, at what point of that YouTube video BDaMan612 posted is the correct video for #6?

Hey got a question, these exit themes are they really exit themes, cause they seem more like bumper themes for the show to me since they don't play immediately after their wins.

Thanks, Eddie! Yes, it's # 6, still without exact date, # 5 is a very short overlay

However, she played during the exit of a wrestler and during slow motion. There were also Bumper Themes back then. There was also a delay at the Entrance Themes.

Edit:
So, my last try for ask to add themes

Could Nafip or BretC take care of that:


Rocky Johnson used an Exit theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 9th 1982
Pedro Morales used an Exit theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 9th 1982
Eddie Gilbert/Curt Hennig used an Exit theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 9th 1982
(At the end of the show of chmapionship wrestling on October 9th 1982 "Gemini Dream" - The Moody Blues was played not the championship wrestling theme)
Billy Graham used as Exit Theme "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor on All Star Wrestling October 16th 1982
Ivan Putski used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on All Star Wrestling October 16th 1982
Tony Garea used an Exit theme (Unknown Title, he used the same on All Star Wrestling September 25th 1982) on All Star Wrestling October 16th 1982
Billy Graham used as Exit Theme "Eye of The Tiger" - Survivor on Championship Wrestling October 23rd 1982
Curt Hennig used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 23rd 1982
Mr. Fuji/Mr. Saito used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 23rd 1982
Strongbow Brothers used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on Championship Wrestling October 23rd 1982
Billy Graham used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on All Star Wrestling October 30th 1982
Don Muraco used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on All Star Wrestling October 30th 1982
Jimmy Snuka used an Exit Theme (Unknown Title) on All Star Wrestling October 30th 1982
Wild Samoans used an Exit theme (Unknown TItle) on All Star Wrestling October 30th 1982

Sparky Plugg Promo was used earlier on RAW December 20th 1993
Unbelievable: Yokozuna as Santa Claus (Jingle Bells) was used on RAW December 13th 1993 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmAdC4pU3B0
A message of the WWF: No drink and drive ("Funeral March V2" - Jim Johnston) was used on RAW November 8th 1993 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X32HRxoFojQ
RAW Votline: "You pick the match" (Unknown Title) was used on RAW November 8th 1993
Unbelievable: "It's monday" (Unknown Title) was used on RAW October 4th 1993

I found this 1st Signature, which runs a little longer. But I don't know why. Maybe the theme is longer and cut for the signature? So far it was not found and an artist is not known for this purpose.

Re: New Themes for the Main Site

Thank you, Eddie!
Of course, I have complete understanding that you can't add or edit everything right away and it takes a long time. There was actually a solution, a help!

So I asked Nafip and BretC to take care of it because Eddie did not have the time. He has stated several times here.
I'm not mad at you, Eddie. But I'm disappointed with the situation of the team! A team has to stick together and work together. Unfortunately, I notice less and less of this on xylot.
Since one asks the one theme technican, if he could add the themes and nothing happens, private messages are ignored. You even offer help in another thing and it's also ignored.
The second theme technican is uncertain about the exit themes. But there were other themes he could have added. He did not do it. Requests to both theme technicans are ignored. But not only from me. Also from others here at xylot.
If you look at the main site, you get answers about the theme technicans. Of course I don't mean all of them from the team. I can only talk about what I get to know myself here. But my patience is limited.
I've only been here for a year and I met 2 theme technicans who always took care of xylot. For various reasons, they no longer belong to the team or are no longer on xylot. And now?
Ok, 1 (!) Theme has now been added by a theme technican. 1 Theme and the rest took care of Eddie again.
I knew it would happen again. Where is the problem here? I met xylot as a site where you help each other. A give and a take.

I'm also pretty sure that the two people involved are not going to comment on this. It is ignored again!

As I said, I am very grateful to Eddie, but also to one or the other of the team. They take care of xylot. I find the behavior of some of the team also a bit unfair to the others from the team and also to Eddie. I'm just a normal user here, but you also see the problems in the team.
How should it continue?

I ask that the team members talk about it, also because you are a team!

SheerHARTAttack is right, you should be a theme tech. Kevin, would you like to be a theme tech? It's all really easy to do.
I just simply do not have the free time like I used to due to my new job, so do not take it personal if I do not take care of something for a few days. It's sad that we have 11 current staff members, and only 3 current staff members help you out, Kevin. I've brought up the overall staff issues to Richard the other week, and nothing is taken care of as of today. The most recent issue of the overall staff issues was yesterday in the shoutbox (TSU, You're not in trouble as minor mistakes happen). I'm going to take care of the overall issues myself here before Slammiversary Sunday (Sunday is my next day off). Things have to change, and they have to change quick.

@SheerHARTAttack @EddieK:

I have to admit that this request is very surprising to me. I was not expecting that. I would never have asked for it, because I'm still so new here and because I don't want to push forward.
Eddie, I still don't blame you and I'm not mad at you or disappointed with you. No, you have said it several times, in the forum (also in the Impact area you have written it) and also by private message. You are just missing the time and your work has first priority. I have absolutely understanding for that! You still have and do a great job on xylot! :-)
That's why you chose two others, but the requests were ignored. No reaction! But why did not come any reaction? No time to add or edit the themes? That could have been written in the forum or in a private message. But: no reaction! You did not get any reaction either. And that's what annoys me the most. What should one think?

To answer your question: Who would say "no" here on xylot if I accept the offer? Would anyone disagree? That's a question to all on xylot.

Although I'm not a tech anymore, if I had a say in anything around here, you'd get my vote of approval.

I see no reason to disagree. And if you have a doubt about something to add to the main site, just ask here so we can try to help you too.

I'm Sure the 2 versions I am about to mention may have been used before May 4 1998. But on May 4 1998 DX (Faction) used a version where the bass is doubled in the intro of the song then it goes back to the single track.
See here for the example. used both on original TV recording and WWE Network..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CYypBvBQ1U
And then at the match that night they used an intro cut of Are You Ready? it starts at the Break It Down part.
As a matter of fact if you listen to the song until the end of the entrance the instrumental starts to play continuesly without the normal part of the son... Will make an edit.

Neither of these are listed. I do not know the earliest date of these but they were used on May 4 1998 Raw.
