Theme Time - #15 - Bryan Danielson / Daniel Bryan

[Y2Jayne]

This week we'll be covering the longest list of theme songs yet as our friend Bryan Danielson has been in pretty much any major promotion in the world. I'll still limit that list to the biggest companies he's been part of as most of his ROH theme songs were also used in the indies. Which one was the best?

1st - The Rage (used for his return on Raw after getting fired)





2nd - Ride of the Valkyries (used from September 2010 to August 2011)





3rd - Freefall (used once on August 5th 2011)





4th - Big Epic Night (used from August to November 2011)





5th - Flight of the Valkyries (used from November 2011 to his departure)





ROH

1st - Self Esteem





2nd - Lysergik Funeral Procession





3rd - Imperial March (Rage Mix)

Spoiler: If you like the concept and missed the previous threads :

Hello Smarks.I thought it could be interesting to debate about and vote for the best theme songs wrestlers have used throughout their careers. I'll post a poll every week, feel free to make suggestions on the thread and do tell us why you picked one theme song over the others. Starting this...

Theme Time - #2 - Mandy Rose

Hey everyone, thanks for voting and discussing last week's thread about Gunther. Let's switch to a lady this week, someone who's had quite a few theme songs over the years, even using Paige's as part of Absolution but we'll leave it out of the list as it wasn't her own... the dearly missed...

Theme Time - #3 - Damian Priest

This week's wrestler, Damian Priest, has had a lot of theme songs in his 5 years with the company, some of those getting remixed several times, which means he used no less than 13 different themes since he debuted as Punishment Martinez on NXT. I'll only include the main versions of those that...

Theme Time - #4 - Alexa Bliss

Going back to a woman's list of theme songs this week. Little Miss Bliss has had a lot of them over the years, including 4 of those over those last two years. I'm deliberately not counting Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse theme song or Blake and Murphy's that Alexa also used when she was paired...

Theme Time - #5 - Seth Rollins

This week we'll focus on a man who made his theme song a big part of his current character : Seth freakin' Rollins. But is it the best he's ever had in your opinion? I left out the Shield's theme song "Special Op" as it was a stable's theme song and it's more often associated with Roman Reigns...

Theme Time - #6 - Rhea Ripley

Time for Mami to get her own theme thread ! Same as her partner Damian Priest, I didn't count the Judgement Day's song as it's the stable's and not hers. 1st - Black Night (used during the 2017 Mae Young Classic Tournament) 2nd - Final Straw (used during the 2018 Mae Young Classic...

Theme Time - #8 - Liv Morgan

Keeping up with the same rythm, this week's thread will be focusing on a woman, one half of the tag team champions, Liv Morgan ! She's had quite a few theme songs in her 8 years with the company, but which one was the best ? As usual I left out stable theme songs such as Riott Squad's. 1st -...

Theme Time - #9 - Wade Barrett

This week's about one of the first people I had in mind when I started this series of threads. Barrett had a huge list of theme songs over his WWE career. They changed his music several weeks in a row sometimes, and some of those songs weren't even used long enough to warrant a release. I'll...

Theme Time - #10 - Carmella

This week we'll be focusing on a woman who's been in the company for nearly 10 years and only had 3 different theme songs, contrary to the previous female superstars we covered. Which theme song for the princess of Staten Island was the best in your opinion? 1st - Fabulous (used from October...

Theme Time - #11 - Cody Rhodes

To celebrate Cody's win against Lesnar last night, let's take a look at the list of theme songs he used in WWE during his two runs. I know Kingdom is a favourite but take time to check the old ones. Fun fact : Cody is one of the rare wrestlers who worked for WWE and never had a CFO$ pr def...

Theme Time - #12 - Kaitlyn

Hey Smarks, last week we covered Cody's theme songs list but this week's will be half shorter. By popular demand, we'll be focussing on Kaitlyn's theme songs this time. 1st - Let's Go (used from March 2011 to April 2012) 2nd - Spin the Bottle (used from April 2012 to March 2013) 3rd -...

Theme Time - #13 - Bray Wyatt

I put those threads in hold for two weeks as the source I used for the dates has been unavailable but I figured it wasn't that important. With the sad news we got this week, it was only fair to dedicate this new thread to Bray Wyatt, who's had a bunch of great theme songs over the years. But...

Theme Time - #14 - Paige / Saraya

Let's celebrate Saraya's first championship in AEW with a look at her theme songs over the years. This is the first time I'll be covering someone who had theme songs from different companies if you exclude Cody Rhodes who used Kingdom in several promotions. 1st - Smashed in the Face (used in...

[Death By Looch]

Lots of good stuff here, but nothing beats Born for Greatness overall... Final Countdown, though, is the better one when it comes to the big (special) PPV matches.

 

[King Kota]

yeah i didnt like born at first but def grew on me

 

[Storm Trooper]

Here's my rankings of his theme songs:
1. Ride of the Valkyries
2. Flight of the Valkyries
3. Final Countdown
4. Big Epic Night

983745987634568973467098436. Born for Greatness

 

[Storm Trooper]

I'm sorry I just absolutely hate the song Born for Greatness and it doesn't feel like it fits Bryan Danielson.

But more importantly give me a Richard Wagner classic over all every day. Classical music for entrance themes is awesome. And they did it right with Daniel Bryan.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Yeah Born for Greatness grew on me but that mumble rap part doesn't sound like Daniel Bryan IMO

 

[Storm Trooper]

It's an earworm I'll give it that. Had it in my head while out shopping just now, but I do not like it nor do I find it fitting for a Bryan Danielson entrance music.
