It's close, but I'm, gonna have to go with Bowser over Falcon. I love how Bowser's theme has a menacing tone yet still has a bit of a funky beat. It suits him perfectly.

Travis over Ezio.

NOPE.
Bowser and Travis.

Bowser's is just a classic theme. It's too ingrained in his character to not love, even outside of VGCW. Falcon's is neat, but he's swapped too many times for it to have any weight to it.

There's some fantastic songs in the No More Heroes OST (Pleather for Breakfast, Philistine, Stop Hanging DJs, Steel Python, We Are Finally Cowboys...I mean JESUS) and N.M.H. It's Kill or Be Killed is no exception. It's close, and I really like Ezio's, but Travis's takes it.

Bowser because it's a classic.

Travis because while Ezio's is good, Travis' is better.

Mirroring the previous posters I've gotta give the nod to Bowser and Travis, especially since Falcon might be a different theme in Season 12 with the whole Blood Falcon thing.

Bowser's theme was a favorite of mine long before VGCW, and in the show those first few notes are extremely recognizable and have a lot of power despite the song not starting at full swing. The theme also kind of captures Bowser's character well; he's tough and imposing but at the same time a bit of a goof. He's a serious threat in the ring but a lighter fare villain and more charming compared to, say, the stoic and grim Ganon. Also, it's a bit jaunty and works perfectly with Bowser dancing, as the dude legit seems to be grooving to his own theme. That's just the kind of thing Bowser would actually do in a Mario game if given the chance. To date I haven't heard Falcon's new theme enough for it to really resonate with me yet, and the riffs sound a little cut short and almost too intense. It's a bit too blaring to recognize easily until it hits its stride 30 seconds in and it kind of sounds, well, try-hard. It's got a "riffs upon riffs" factor that I feel exceeds Zubaz's theme and overall sounds very stressed.

Bowser gets my vote.

Travis' theme has a great beginning and that little extra "Travis, it's kill or be killed!" helps give every match some kind of stakes to it. The singing is catchy and while it's fun to riff on how hard it is to understand the lyrics they aren't bad and don't hinder the tune. The music also paints Travis as one eccentric dude, which is spot on. Ezio's theme has a slower start, but that doesn't matter much as it's identifiable and the chanting is where the song really begins. Unlike Sabin, Ezio's orchestral track has a great energy to it and brings to mind images of a grand adventure. Granted, I get more vibes of traveling (like Ezio leaping across rooftops) than having a big fight, but the track has a good spark nonetheless that makes you sit up before the match begins.

It's really tough to pick between the two, but ultimately Ezio gets my vote. Travis' theme is just a tiny bit too tough to understand and I keep trying to listen hard and make sense of what they're saying. In contrast, Ezio's theme has a clearer image and better flow.

Falcon's theme is genuinely better and more hype, Bowser's theme is mostly just a backdrop for his entrance than a real augmentation of it.

Ezio's theme brings up more general hype and is a better song.

My votes go to Falcon and Ezio.

Falcon gets my vote for the same reason Cran voted for him: Bowser's theme is fun but ultimately just a backdrop. Falcon's is a great song in and of itself and enhances the entire entrance. Plus, you can't go wrong with anything from the F-Zero X Guitar Arrange album.

Ezio gets my vote over Travis because...well, Ezio's theme is possibly my single favorite in VGCW right now. It's not one of those instant hook themes, but it just has a grand scope and works too damn well with his entrance coming out of the crowd.

Yeah, I'm a fan.
Falcon's theme is better than his in ring performance. Falcon.
Also NMH always wins. Travis.

Bowser and Ezio take my vote, but it's a real difficult choice between him and Travis.

In a vaccume, Falcon's theme is hype-er, It's just got this intensity about it, but, it feels almost too intense in the grounds of a wrestling theme, and doesn't even hit it's well known chords until the entrance is almost done.
Bowser's kicks off immedietly, those first four beats before the main drumline kicks in is the perfect hook, and it builds off the drumline just so well, with more and more getting added on to make the perfect backdrop for the King of Awesome
Bowser

No long deals aside, Travis just has one of my favorite entrance themes, even better when he's coming to the ring. It times just perfectly, so that just after Justin Gabriel introduced "Tra Vist Ta Da!" the swauve sounding guy delivers the "Travis it's Kill or Be killed!" Line, all ending up perfectly for the kind of Jazz House swing to come through.
Ezio's works for him, it fits his charecter perfectly, with the drumline coming through just in time for him to be seen walking through the crowd. The nice drumline helps too.
But! That aside, so much stuff just...works for Travis, I got to vote for Travis TouchDown
