SD Dark Horses video package- Ryder, Bryan & Punk

[543Y2J]

Incredible video package for those three on Smackdown. The use of archive footage with the footage from this past week alone was great. Epic song choice as well, the lyrics suite the three of them perfectly:

I made my mistakes
I seen my heart cave in
I got my scars
I been to hell and back again

Born for the blue skies
We’ll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain

[Chorus:]
We’re singing…
Hey, you can’t count us out
We’ve been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We’re singing…
Wait! It’s not over now
We’ve been down but we’ve never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses

We found the way out
The city takes everything it can
But outside the crowds
I can feel my lungs again

Born for the blue skies
We’ll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We’ll survive the pain



The video isnt up on fannation yet but type into YT WWE 3 NEW Champions Promo on unoffical channel.

I think this is reason/example 1009998777665546789 why the production team is the "best in the world!"

Edit: This also would make a great Rumble theme but i doubt they will go with it since they have already used it for this

Not only was it a good promo video but the fact that they made a video package about their underdog nature is cool enough.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

Wait! It’s not over now
We’ve been down but we’ve never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses

This is the part that gets to me. It's really amazing that they made it this far, and seeing a promo leads me to believe that the WWE is gonna push all 3 of them really far.

I want to see all 3 of them exiting Wrestlemania as champs and hugging it out. It would be amazing.

That was damn awesome.

[Society of the Spectacle]

Honestly, the whole thing felt very surreal. Of course all three guys are very talented, but WWE sure knows how to make people look like superstars. Great video, and did anyone catch the glimpse of Bryan's "Violent" shirt?

[Bang Bang Bart]

Awesome package, and makes me hope that WWE keeps the three as a "loose" stable of sorts.

["American Dragon"]

Love the song. Fits Bryan and Punk perfectly.

As far as Ryder goes this may be slightly off topic and I apologize. I just don't see Zack really belonging in this trio. I appreciate what Zack has done and I get how they have tried to fit him in but it's different. Punk and Bryan are independent products self created and self evolved - aside from being independents. Ryder as much as the 'net' has had a hand in helping him, doesn't stray too far away from the WWE machine.

What I see happening is ultimately another indy star rolling in and punking ryder out... then again, I was always a mark for renegade stables like the radicalz, ecw factions etc... I don't mind Ryder being associated with them, bare in mind he is nowhere in near the same caliber of wrestlers Punk and Bryan are. There's just something about him that doesn't feel genuine. It feels forced nowadays.

I would consider Punk and Bryan this 'next generations' Eddie and Benoit if you will.

Now getting back on topic, the theme is great! I'm not a fan of Bryans current theme and would love it if he used this theme(aside from wishing and hoping one day they push him as the american dragon and uses ricky steamboats old theme or a modified version).

I think the Dark Horses name sounds great. They really could be onto something. Here's also hoping they give them new merch. I loved the fact that they showed the Bryan Violent shirt... Put that up for sale, I'll buy it.

[FUNK_US/BRODUS]

I disagree about Zack not belonging. He is as self-made as it gets.


Without Z!TLIS, he is still jobbing as a heel on Superstars. The guy did it all himself.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

Frankly, Ryder is as self-made as it gets. The E certainly didn't believe in him, not even the fans believed in him until he set out to prove who he was. He is a true dark horse and to say he doesn't belong with Punk and Bryan just because he wasn't in the indies is a bit wrong, in my opinion.

[zing]

Of course Ryder is self created and self evolved! If he had just stuck to what WWE gave him, there is not a snowball's chance in hell he'd be holding the US title right now.

[Von Hooligan]

I missed the promo vid, is it in YouTube anywhere?

This and yeah I saw the shirt, pretty awesome that WWE put that in there.
