Hi Dark, That's a good point, but I am also attempting to reduce the number of performers to a manageable size. That's why I initially started with the WWE roster since I'm most familiar with those performers, but have little to know experience with Ring of Honor. I chose to skip a lot of performers who have retired, died, etc just to bring the database down to a manageable number of performers I can humanly hard code into the database for the moment.
Obviously, if I were going to add someone like Hulk Hogan I'd use "Real American" because it is by and large the most well known theme music he used. Same goes for a number of other superstars like Brett Hart who is best associated with "Hitman" which Brett Hart used for most of the 1990's, and Jim Johnston has created variations of over the course of Brett's wrestling career. In fact, Natalya's entrance music, "New Foundation," is just a newer variation of "Hitman." However, my question was mainly aimed at what to do with wrestlers who are still active and change their persona and/or music for reason x. Its one thing having long established performers like Hulk Hogan or Brett Hart who have more or less retired and can be best be remembered at the height of their career. Its another thing when we have rookies who have not established a name for themselves, go away for a few months, and come back with a totally new persona, theme music, whatever. Cheers!
