WE'RE LEAVING TOGETHER, BUT STILL IT'S FAREWELL...

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

f***ing A, Tony paid to use Final Countdown for at least this show.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

I haven’t marked that hard in a long damn time

[jm]

I knew it was Final Countdown as soon as the low bass notes started. I screamed when it fully started.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

If they don't play Final Countdown at Wembley they're out of their minds lmfao

Lost it when I heard that synth flare up, now all I need is Joe to come out to "MOMMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT" or "THE CHAMP IS HERE"...

[IgnahtaSempria]

As soon as I found out another record label bought the rights to "The Final Countdown", my very first thought was how awesome it would be if Tony Khan were finally able to license it for Danielson.

AND IT HAPPENED! MY BOY IS BACK! THE AMERICAN DRAGON IS BACK!

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I think if he paid for it here, it’s back. Which is good because I think a few other crowds deserve a stab at it. An east coast US crowd would have been singing every word.

should have licensed tratically hip instead, they would have gone bananas

Re-watching that entrance, literally the only thing missing is the countdown clock on the screen and the burgundy ring coat.

I am genuinely shocked that I can't think of a single Canadian wrestler, indie or mainstream, that has come out to The Hip.

[Mid-Carder]

Next I need Tony Khan to fork out for This Fire Burns because I'm so sick of Cult of Personality.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

The true forbidden door that was opened was the one to the extra big chequebook for the licensing rights.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Kind of always thought Final Countdown is an awful theme song, but it certainly works for the occasion. Hoping very much it's just a one-off though.

At the media scrum, TK said he paid out the ass for it ("as expensive as a wrestlers contract"), and that he can use it one more time. They also secured the rights to use footage of the Forbidden Door entrance w/ Final Countdown in perpetuity

I had to go to sleep at the Osprey/Omega match and was spoiled by youtube thumbnail this morning, but I would have marked if I was watching live.

Probably gonna use it for Danielsons retirement match

[MiLB Fan]

AEW used Europe's Final Countdown last night as Bryan Danielson's theme song but it will not be featured going forward. AEW President Tony Khan stated it cost as much as a "wrestler's contract." He teased he could use it "one more time." Khan felt it was great for the fans and hoped it would be the same for the band and the publisher. He had been working for some time on getting the music for the Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada.

Ill get flack for this, but I really hope his retirement match is in WWE.

[Hypnosis]

That was nice, but this would have been even better:

I actually agree with this. I liked Cult for awhile, but I kind of miss Fire Burns now.
