If they're gonna pay for a theme for Moxley, it's gotta be this:

Mochi Lone Wolf
Fry's dog Seymour
Development through Destruction.

It was weird not hearing his New Japan theme, to be honest.
I guess it's an Onita tribute which, if so, that's cool. Not sure I care for it being his permanent theme.

Wild Thing and Bad to the Bone (it wasn’t used but I hate just the same) are awful garbage songs.
It was fine as one off or him using that theme in AEW when he defends the US title.

Said it in the show thread, but Mox was basically paying tribute to his death match hero, Onita: I doubt it's a permanent change for him, may have been to reflect that he was wrestling a NJPW match (though his actual NJPW theme is awesome, too). I liked the idea behind it a lot, but I think the Joan Jett version just works better for an arena/stadium entrance, ala Major League and the above video. Giving Mox the Joan Jett version for an entrance at a sold out All Out? Shiiiiiit. Madness

If they're gonna pay for a theme for Moxley, it's gotta be this: Does that make Eddie Kingston the ‘Mallory Knox’ of this particular FanFic? “Whole worlds comin to an end, Eddie....”

If they're gonna pay for a theme for Moxley, it's gotta be this: With the song's backing riff and how Mox makes his entrance through the crowd, I got some serious Sandman vibes from that.

Wild Thing can work, but Mox is gonna have to walk slower to the ring to match the groove.

They got the wrong version of the song TBH. The version by The X is more wrestling like and gets you pumped up.

Presumably he won't keep it because it's a direct tribute to Onita, although I wouldn't really be opposed to moving from Moxley's current generic riffage to an actual licensed theme. In fact I think the proto-punk vibe of Wild Thing works quite well for Moxley's AEW character even if the song itself isn't quite right. I would personally suggest something like Search and Destroy by The Stooges.

Did commentary explain why he was coming out to Wild Thing at all? I expected Excalibur to pick up on it but I don't recall hearing him say anything.

I hate Wild Thing for Moxley. I like it when he uses Violet by Hole. f*** Hole. f*** Courtney Love. Don't DARE curse Mox with that evil. f***! (sorry...i really REALLY hate that band) Anyway.... Shoulda went with this version; But do you like the band Hole? You weren't clear on that.

Not a fan of "Wild Thing" as Mox's theme. It really doesn't suit him at all. If they're gonna pay for a theme for Moxley, it's gotta be this: Now this is more like it. A much better suited theme for a guy like Mox.

This has absolutely no business working as gloriously as it does.

Rewatching this a day later...yeah I f***in love it hahahahha. It's one of those things that shouldn't work and has a weird juxtaposition of vibes but like that's why it works for me.
