Kids probably don't even know "Kill da wabbit" today. I don't think the old Looney Tunes are shown anywhere.  |

I think of Apocalypse Now.
Really, the reason that it's not great for Bryan is the fact that as great a piece of music as it is, it just doesn't work as a wrestling theme. The best ones have that intro that gets the crowd pumped from the start.

I love it. When I hear it, I think of Watchmen. Both the book and the movie. So if Bryan comes out crying and wearing fake breasts, do not laugh. Now THAT is an obscure reference. Kudos. |

why not just give him this...im sure Alice Cooper and Slash can be bought off pretty easily..plus some of the lyrics even work for Bryan "they hated every part of me, expect me to forget it, they tried to hard to bury me, but i survive it every time, convicted of every crime, silently doing time, but when i get out of here, i wanna make it clear, vengence is mine"

Doesn't Sara Del Rey use the same theme song?

I'll admit, the very first time he came out to it my mind immediately thought of Wagner and how some Jewish people and particularly Israelis react to his music. I even wondered if WWE would change it, but I suppose I was overestimating its polarizing effect on people. If WWE ever tries again to go to Israel then I would not be surprised if they don't use the theme.

I still don't understand why he's got a song by Wagner when he's wearing Polish national colors on his ring gear. That would be like wearing blue and white and having Turkish mehter playing as an entrance theme.

It should have a different arrangement, 'electric' or 'pro-wrestlerized' as others say in this thread.
I'm not a classical music expert, but whatever the high-pitched instrument that's behind the awesome main horns melody is, just makes it sound unfortunately comical to me.

The only thing he needs is a little light show. Lights go dark, roaming spotlights, while the intro to the song plays, then bring up the lights when it picks up. Lasers wouldn't be a bad thing either. Screw it, just go license The Final Countdown. Listen to this man. |

At the very least, they should remix it to make the crowd react to it. As over as he is when wrestling, his entrance pop is non-existent at times.

He should use "Shooter".

The latest version he used, up until the last couple of weeks (i haven't watched him or WWE since then, aside from Rock's return) was already a Jim Johnston-ized version of Ride of The Valkyries, slightly sped-up, and recorded with a virtual synthesized orchestra. And it sucked. (but yeah, some sort of guitar intro+overdub would be a great improvement. Or just drop Ride of The Walkyries, and bring back The Final Countdown, or recycle Kaval's theme...) |

Recycling Kaval's theme would be kind of funny, since it was recycled from Barrett in the first place.

They could give him his old FCW theme...

To match the song, they could change Daniel Bryan's ring entrance attire to a spear and magic helmet.
EDIT: And I think of when Mr. Burns plays the tape of the theme just before invading the Simpsons house, then it changes to Waterloo by ABBA since Smithers accidentally taped over it.

I still don't get why they don't have Jim Johnston write him something new.

It makes him look like a fool, so it pretty much fits into WWE's booking approach towards Danielson since he joined the company.
