10 Best Wrestling Themes In The World Right Now!
10. Shinsuke Nakamura - Shadows of a Setting Sun
Shinsuke Nakamura's signing in 2016 could have been a potential game-changer not just for the King of Strong Style but the company itself. However, his four years with WWE has been full of bad booking decisions, misjudgements of character and high-profile losses. The one saving grace is that the company at least gave him some incredible entrance music.
He first debuted with the fantastic "The Rising Sun", which captured audiences' hearts all over. It got to the point that crowds would sing this theme as it played, adding an aura of prestige not only to the former NJPW star but the music itself. Once he turned heel, WWE knew people would still be joining in so decided to try and make it harder for them by adding lyrics.
This updated version of the iconic tune is fantastic and has an intense energy. The dramatic sound of the vocals complement the music perfectly, as they sound less like singing, and more an aggressive attack of shouting that gives the song a harsher vibe, making it the perfect heel tune.
It's also inspiring to hear a song that isn't in English on WWE programming, even if we don't get to listen to it very often.
