Jim Johnston creates entrance theme for ROH’s PCO
Legendary composer Jim Johnston has created his first entrance theme since departing WWE.
ROH announced today that Johnston has composed a new theme for PCO. It will debut at ROH’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view tomorrow (Friday, September 27).
“It’s been great fun to work on a new theme for PCO and Ring of Honor,” Johnston told ROH’s website. “The energy there has been all positive, and it’s been my honor to hopefully make a small contribution to their continued success.”
“It really brings the essence of PCO and adds another dimension to the immortality,” PCO said about the theme. “It reinforces that PCO is not human. Adding this piece of the puzzle on top of everything else, the success of The French-Canadian Frankenstein becomes limitless.”
After working for WWE for more than 30 years, Johnston departed the company when his contract wasn’t renewed in 2017.
Death Before Dishonor is taking place at Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas, Nevada. PCO is facing Kenny King in a Final Battle number one contender’s first-round match at the PPV.
The first round of the number one contender’s tournament is being held at Death Before Dishonor and ROH’s post-Death Before Dishonor television tapings. The semifinals and finals will take place at Glory By Honor on October 12, with the winner challenging for the ROH World Championship at Final Battle in December.
