I think it works...and I think a reason they went with this MIGHT be due to the relative cost to license the music. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't licensing fees and royalties and all that jazz the reason why Vince ceased letting wrestlers use licensed music from big name bands? IE the whole "Enter Sandman" fiasco, and dropping the licensed themes that a few superstars had? I think Edge is the only one on the current roster with a licensed theme, IIRC.
Maybe Nickleback was one of the cheaper artists to turn to for a new theme.

Everyone is such a drama queen about this. It's like 1 min, at the beggining. Just don't watch the intro, or mute it if 1 minute of Nickelback will shake your world to it's very foundations.

God forbid WWE use a popular band with a song that the majority of their fanbase may recognize rather than minor-label band a's song that three people know. Heavens!

I am somewhat a Nickelback "fan". I mean, ok... so their latest album was downloaded, but for crying out loud, the way some people are reacting, you'd swear the Nickelback tour bus ran over their dog or something. And this is infinitely better than the current song. *NOTE: My condolences to anyone who's dog was run over by the Nickelback tour bus* Well, a lot of SRS musicians like myself consider Nickelback the enemy. They represent all that is soulless, and wrong with rock music. And I've "seen them live mannn" and I've "heard the records, not just the pussy radio stuff" (unfortunately I have friends who enjoy them), and yes, they still absolutely suck. Nickelback is just one of those bands that is extremely hateable, their music almost sounds like they're throwing it in your face how little effort it takes them to write this crappy music that sells like hotcakes.

Why can't they just go back to "Across the Nation"? That was awesome!

Yeah, but saying "I'll stop watching RAW because there's a good chance I'll hear snippets of Nickelback!" seems a little silly to me. However, if it was Puddle Of Mudd...

I REALLY dont get this hate for Nickelback okay you dont like their music but thats to each their own personally I love Nickelback and i've seen 'em live twice and the gigs were brilliant and well obviously if it sells like hotcakes then their music isnt as bad as you make it out to be, ive heard all this hate for Nickelback before but all I think is you "SRS" musicians just dont like anything mainstream and popular as soon as that happens it becomes satan spawn and I've also seen Papa Roach live twice too and when they play "To Be Loved" I go crazy HOWEVER on RAW...not so much so yes its time for a change!
