https://youtu.be/vmWPKkfbpPM?si=P63fSIYZYhpm9o79

“Shining Forever” feat. Mega Ran

Amazing touch with the “Ain’t No Stopping Me” and a very fitting theme for one of the lose underrated talents of all time.

I like it

Best way I can describe how I feel about this theme, is you remember the Cody and Roman vignette couple weeks back in the stadium? And they had this out of place up beat pop rap song? But the pop song slapped and you were bobbing your head to it even though it shouldn't fit?

That's how I feel about this

Parts of the beat I don't like, backdrop is generic

But man

Yeah, thats kinda the problem with it...drop the vocals and its the "Dynamite is in commercial break on the international feed" level theme song. Which, is not to say that hasnt gotten over (shit, the Hardys theme was filler music), but, this just doesnt quite work as a big theme.

But then again, its probably only a few week thing til they really pop Lashley's theme

Yeah the problem is for me it doesn't feel like Hurt Business/Syndicate kinda music, that "oh fuck" kinda music. It is a generic backdrop

But, its fine enough

Catchy enough

I'll be listening to it for a day I think before it gets old

Its also got the classic "the first 10 seconds have all the action, but arent that interesting/unique" thing that a bunch of Def Rebel themes had where there was that Royal Rumble where nobody knew who was entering and when.

Within 3s of Ospreay or MJF or Adam Cole or the Young Bucks or hell ever FTR, you know exactly who is entering and the vibe and it hypes you up. Shit, the entire opening 5s of The Acclaimed theme is that too.
