The Colóns' theme is four minutes long but only 45 seconds of it is original and then it loops for the rest of the three or so minutes. It's 55 seconds before it loops for Kalisto's four minute theme and 50 seconds for Lana's four minute theme.

Those were just random examples but it seems like CFO$ just creates a minute (or less) worth or music on FruityLoops and thinks "job done", whereas Jim Johnston used to make full length songs/instrumentals that would be between three and five minutes long and they were always great pieces of music and very rarely did they loop. If they did loop, it would be only once and very rarely twice.

CFO$ is very hit-and-miss with their music but they do have a few good ones and some full length songs as themes but that's a very small list and quite rare to hear one. The majority of their work is like the themes I've mentioned, short and looped to hell.

It kinda gives the impression that they rush their music and just throw anything together and hope for the best.
Quality-wise, Johnston was a lot better but WWE pretty much has a different philosophy for music now. Instead of spending a lot of time crafting a theme to fit a gimmick/character or everyone having long entrances, WWE now wants more themes made at the same time and for shorter entrance times in general.

Pretty much view them like ringtones which makes it a lot more attractive for customers on iTunes and other digital music stores.
