Bryan Danielson confirms his AEW entry music story

With the wrestler formerly known as Daniel Bryan, he almost confirmed he was joining All Elite Wrestling last month, fans discussed the entry music he should use in his post-WWE career. Some preferred to stick to Wagner’s “Riding of the Valkyries”. Others preferred a return to his old Ring of Honor theme, “The Final Countdown” in Europe.

In the 19th century, the favor of the German composer was the fact that his music was not in the public domain, whereas Tony Khan would have to take out the checkbook to use the tune of Swedish rockers.

TO All out, we learned that Bryan Danielson would be using a new track incorporating part of “Ride of the Valkyries” and crowd vocals from his indie days. This was followed by a report that Europe wanted a lot of money for “The Final Countdown”.

Danielson confirmed this – along with some numbered estimates on what the hair band wanted for the rights to their 1986 anthem – in an interview with Bleacher Report. He also offered the origin of his new theme, “Born For Greatness” by Elliot Taylor:

“Tony and I talked about a couple of things. We had talked about ‘The Final Countdown’, but it was way overpriced. I hate talking about commercial stuff when I don’t know exactly what it was, but it didn’t. was not just the amount of money. They would only leave [AEW] play like 20 times a year or something like that. For several $ 100,000, you can play ‘Final Countdown’ 20 times a year. It doesn’t work for us.

“I wanted something a little different, so I reached out to my friend, Elliott Taylor, and I said, ‘Hey, here’s an idea. But I don’t know if it’s good. Could you do something like this? ‘ He dropped everything. I think he spent 72 hours in the studio and he composed the song I’m on now, and I think he’s going to do a full release as well because it actually has two chorus lyrics.

“I really, really liked it. And it also incorporates a song that people used to do when I was on Indie. I kind of wanted to put it in there. I would like people to start singing it again.

Here is.

Now do Bryan a favor. Less “YES” chants. No more “You’re gonna get your head kicked”.
