10 Anime & Video Game Tunes That Would Make Great WWE Theme Songs
5. Ichirin No Hana (Bleach) - Io Shirai
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Io Shirai is great. Arguably the most talented wrestler in NXT, her transformation from the smiling, happy-go-lucky Genius of the Sky into the vengeful, arrogant Joshi Judas has given her character a much needed edge and elevated her from being 'just' an excellent wrestler into a great all-round performer. Shirai's frustrated, rage-fuelled persona needs a suitably chaotic theme song to match, and that's where Ichirin no Hana comes in.
Everything about this song creates a dark, aggressive mood that fits Io like a black leather glove. The heavy guitar riff at the start, the explosive energy of the chorus, the final scream... it all comes together to create a manic, unhinged energy that perfectly represents Shirai since her turn to the dark side.
The best theme songs inform you about the wrestler they represent, and even without understanding the lyrics Ichirin no Hana tells us everything we need to know about the Joshi Judas.
