AEW star Bryan Danielson appeared on the Sappenin’ podcast with Sean Smith, where he talked about a number of topics including how he didn’t try to get “The Final Countdown” for his debut with the company.
Danielson said, “That’s not even a true thing. I wasn’t trying to bring anything in. The music that I come out to now, I wanted something different from my WWE stuff, but if you heard the first part would be reminiscent of that.”
On Elliott Taylor creating his AEW entrance theme:
“My friend Elliott (Taylor), he produces a lot of great music. He put that together for me and turned it around within a week. What I really wanted, and it’s never truly caught on, I got it from an English football chant. I did it in Ring of Honor and it caught on and people liked it, but I think it’s hard in bigger arenas. ‘You’re gonna get your fucking head kicked in.’ I wanted that kind of beat in my entrance music, and Elliott put it in, but it hasn’t really caught on in the United States.”
