www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbfuHLtLqkQOn one hand, it definitely doesn't fit him. Like, at all. On the other hand, given how much he hated Burn In My Light (for whatever reason, seeing as that song's great) it doesn't make you wonder why they had him switch back to it. Especially seeing as Wade Barrett is all the proof needed to show that it doesn't matter to WWE if someone's theme fits them or not.

I remember that and it was kinda weird, didn't fit him at all. Still miss that song whenever Punk shows up.
"Burn in my Light" may be a godawful song, but it fitted his cocky persona at the time. We watched some old Royal Rumbles earlier this year and all sang along to it, cause it's catchy.

I thought Burn In My Light was a terrible fit for Orton, in terms of sound. Lyrically it was alright but it hardly sounded like a theme for a main event heel.
Voices is an annoying song but it's perfect for him.
Cult of Personality rules, but if Punk decided to drop it and came out to This Fire Burns again I'd mark out. Great wrestling theme, CoP is a better song but TFB is just as good a wrestling theme, if not better.

Burn in My Light was a terrible fit. Orton was a cocky asshole and that song was a babyface's song. it should've been jettisoned when his big top face run flopped.
This Fire Burns didn't fit either. fit Punk much better. I do like Orton's current theme.

Great wrestling theme, CoP is a better song but TFB is just as good a wrestling theme, if not better. Yeah I really liked This Fire Burns when Punk used it. A guy who calls himself "Punk" using something that sounds significantly more punk-ish (even though it's not actual Punk music) just fits so much better. It was a good face song especially because of the lyrics, but the intensity and anger meant that he could use it as a heel too (and he did). Between that, and Punk running out on to the stage, and hopping up and down when he was wringing his wrists out, it added so much energy to the character before a match started. Cult of Personality is too andante for that to be the case. It can get people excited but it isn't quite so moving.

Would this fire burn work with current or 2010-2012 babyface Orton?

Would this fire burn work with current or 2010-2012 babyface Orton? I don't think it would have done. Face or heel he just didn't go with the beat of the song, he will always be at a different pace. That's why I think Voices works for him because it is kind of slow and methodical, while This Fire Burns is incredibly fast paced when compared to it. Punk owned This Fire Burns, I loved it as a theme (for him). The pace in which he walks, his poses at the top of the stage and at the turnbuckle worked perfectly with the song and it's beat. Plus the lyrics describe Punk I would mark hard for it's return. I really really like the song, have it on my ipod and whenever it comes on I always pick up the pace of my walk, it's infectious. Don't get me wrong I like COP but I feel TFB is just that little bit better. The guiatar intro was an epic way to pop the crowd as well, although I do like the static for COP.

I remember Orton being interviewed about this. He told Vince he hated "Burn in my Light", Vince asked Orton what he would like instead, and Orton gave the Killswitch CD to Vince, said he wanted "This Fire Burns" and Vince bought the rights to it, but hated Orton using it. Guess since they bought the rights to it, they had to give it to someone. Glad it was Punk.

First time seeing this....That was weird. That theme would have never worked for him, just very odd feeling.

I cringe when I see that entrance. That song just doesn't fit Orton. Even with the editing they made to the song, i.e. skipping the first verse and going straight to the chorus, it doesn't mesh at all with Orton's personality.
I always wondered how upset Orton was when they gave the song to Punk which happened like 3-4 months later.

My absolute favorite wrestling moment of the last ten years is Punk's entrance at MITB in Chicago. It wouldn't of worked nearly as well with Cult. The roar is what makes it.

Remember that time it was a theme for a Judgement Day event?
Wait, that's not how it works...
