Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Theme Every Year 1990-2021

13. 2009 - Bryan Danielson

Daniel Bryan is one of the greatest wrestlers in professional wrestling history because he has the ability to perform as the greatest wrestler in professional wrestling history. It isn't just a marketing boast; he projects a mastery through his work. Everybody he works with looks great just for getting a lick in.

This is a man so phenomenal that he rid 'The Final Countdown' - one of the cheesiest songs of all time - of its kitsch. In the context of a Bryan Danielson entrance, it just sounded like a genius wrestler had arrived to pose the most daunting challenge his opponent had ever faced.

Sublime wrestling theatre that somehow never felt like a joke, Danielson got it so much more quickly than WWE's narrative would have you know.
