@@CEJRAID idk about that. It definitely is top 2 for me. When he was with brood with Edge that theme is another very good one. I wanna say Edge has even said that's one of his favorite themes
@@christophmatthews4313 Iconic definition B "Widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence." Nope, that's definitely how you use it.
"On Your Own" always is the pinnacle for me. I had this whole gimmick in my head for him to really separate himself from the pack from listening to that theme. Including a ton of theatricality from Greek tragedy(Wearing white and gold gear, a shiny entrance mask and a flowing robe). Helping get across how he betrayed his brother Edge for success! And I loved how it sounded like Queen!
My favorite Top 5 Christian's theme: 1. At last - when he fought with edge for intercontinental title; his theme simple means he's not with Edge shadow. 2. E&C theme 3. Close your eyes(v.1)- this was the right time Christian should won.the WWE title; this was Christian's peak. 4. Problem Solver- this theme was fit for his character that time a cocky, crybaby heel. 5. Brood theme PS. I'm one of the Peepulation
they should hv made a fude between christian and john cena when cena got drafted to RAW for the first time...christian could become the wwe champion and an awesome heel! WWE actually interrupted Cena by Christian when cena got drafted to Raw..but then ..i dnt knw..they messed it up for some reason.
Those cute little voices don't even reach the heights of the orchestral chore he had in 01. As Paul Heyman once said on commentary, "Luciano Pavoratti couldn't do a better job"
I always hated the male version of Just Close Your Eyes. The original version with Waterproof Blonde was the best. I hate that he can’t ever get to use My Last Breath by Evanescence cause he loves that band.
He was the first male wrestler I could think of who used a female vocal track which made him stand out and seem a little more hip than the others, which really fit his character.
Probably copyright reasons. If they own the rights to the cover, it would cost them a heck of a lot less money than continuing to license the original.
I remember hearing Vince didn't like the idea of female singing for a male baby-face. So since Christian returned as a face in 2009 they changed it to male vocals. That's what I heard could be wrong though. Definitely agree it's the superior version though.
The original version of Just Close Your Eyes is his best individual theme. Him coming out in the boxer's robe/hoodie with Tomko with him was the height of Vince horribly misusing Christian. He clearly should have been the WWE champion on that push. Christian is the best in ring worker for the last twenty years. Glad he's back in action in AEW where someone will actually use him correctly.
I dunno about champion but he certainly should have had an extended program with Cena on his own. But Vince didn't get him and they resented that he was getting popular on his own.
The TNA theme is my favorite one, his run in that company made him one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. However, as far as WWE is concerned, Just Close Your Eyes is where it's at.
I know it's WWE only but It would of been cool to show his TNA theme too. That's my favourite of his themes with the original close your eyes song as second.
Hogan. I swear this dude never has a bad theme. When he first got Real American, to the TNA rendition of the NWO Japan theme, never had a shitty theme.
Christian's theme collection is a great collection. I would include personally that Evanescence ripoff theme of his in TNA as that one is a personal favorite of mine
I always thought I remembered wrong with Christian's theme from September 2001 (#5), unaware it was literally changed 13 days later (#6) and accepted the fact I remembered wrongly of the theme being slightly different... Now I can accept that I remembered correctly. 😎
Trust me when I say Christian wasn’t the most underrated wrestler. Mark Jindrak, Super Crazy, Rene Dupree, Frankie Kazarian, Jesse, Jimmy Wang Yang, Yoshi Tatsu, Psicosis, Muhammad Hassan, and Alex Riley were more underrated than Christian. At least Christian had some memorable moments.
Christian's WWE Themes Ranked: 1) Just Close Your Eyes (WB) 2) At Last (V2, it is regarded as "V1" but I consider "On Your Own" to be V1) 3) Just Close Your Eyes (SOTY) 4) On The Edge 5) On Your Own/The Tempest/At Last (V1) (It is not considered "At Last (V1), but I consider it as that.) 6) Blood 7) At Last (V3, it is regarded as "V2" but I consider "On Your Own" to be "V1") 8) Blood Brother (V1) 9) Blood Brother (V2) 10) We Salute
Top of the list for me is always On Your Own because it just sounds like Queen meets the opera, and that's something truly spectacular that is almost lost save for that one sound clip with arena noises. Close Your Eyes is his definitive theme, but I love me some On Your Own.
I remember the September 16th 2001 theme. It was AWESOME I remember reading they changed it people, Christian was getting a baby face response because the music was so cool. Heavy Queen Bohemian Rhapsody vibes.
I honestly don’t know if I can choose between At Last and Just close Your Eyes. I think the latter probably just edges out the former, but the I still jam the fuck out of At Last on occasion. Also, the “Story of the Year” version of Just Close Your Eyes is lame as fuck.
Maybe it’s me , but Christian never had a bad theme it seems. And it evolved with each version telling a perfect story of where he was at during that time in his career.
The description tells me this video does not include themes he used as part of a tag team and still the video has Edge and Lance Storm/Un-Americans themes... Weird.
That just close your eyes theme is legendary
Waterproof blonde one yes. His best theme.
Indeed… Although I thought all of these themes were good one way or another
@@CEJRAID fr he should of kept using the waterproof blonde version
@@CEJRAID idk about that. It definitely is top 2 for me. When he was with brood with Edge that theme is another very good one. I wanna say Edge has even said that's one of his favorite themes
@@OhYeah201 those are very good but they weren’t really solo themes. Blood brother was but he rarely used it and was teaming with Edge at the time.
"At Last" is my favorite. The titantron, pyro, and Christian embracing being a singles competitor all put together in that epic song.
Same
Same
Specially the V1
By far his best theme ever!

I preferred “just close your eyes” as a kid but going back now and rewatching Christian in the early 2000’s “at last” takes the win

At last and My last Breath are headbangers!
You need check up!
First is Just close your eyes V2 and second is V1 , and the others comes after that
His TNA theme is the best for me
AT LAST, YOUR ON YOUR OWNNNNN 🤣, MAN I MISSED THIS THEME
"On Your Own First Used: September 10 2001." Yikes...
Don't lie, we are all here for 9:05. Arguably the greatest theme song in wrestling history.
Eh calling it the best is a bit far fetched
@@goalhorncrazy9779 its definitely in the top 10 like come on , it's up there with the game , sexy boy (HBK)
Doesn't even eclipse his TNA/AEW theme but it bangs
Those cute little voices don't even reach the heights of the orchestral chore he had in 01.
As Paul Heyman once said on commentary, "Luciano Pavoratti couldn't do a better job"
Christian debuted the month I first started watching wrestling so I’ll always have a special enjoyment from watching him on TV.

That Blood Brother theme is amazing. Why is this the first I’ve heard of it?
i think it was used only a handful of times
@@thescib617 it was for the brood mainly
@@mike04574 Brood Theme is Blood, Christian's is titled "Blood Brother"
Seems like the Blood Brother intro was later edited and expanded to be used in 2004 for the Mordecai theme.
Problem Solver was such a badass theme. Reminds me of a song called Understanding Me by the band Soil.
Reminds me of 2004 Royal Rumble
Blood Brother sounds like something out of Castlevania
Damn man that was exactly what i was thinking
I was thinking Blood Brother V2 could have fit in for the mine levels in Donkey Kong Country.
The Brood are supposed to be vampire like characters, so fits perfectly.
Waterproof blonde easy best singles version no idea why the had to remake it. The brood entrance was one of best attitude era intros ever
Probably copyright reasons. If they own the rights to the cover, it would cost them a heck of a lot less money than continuing to license the original.
@@jonathonbartos3061 I thought they had signed waterproof blonde to them to do a few themes for them as they also made sean o'haires entrance

Why do you guys simp so much for that theme? V2 fits him perfectly, the original is so godamn slow
2001's intro with the pyro will always be number 1
I love these theme song videos it brings back old memories of wrestling in the early 2000's I miss those days.
Dude. The brood intro was great tho. Close your eyes fits him best.
But.
Bruh.
Imagine him and edge. One last time

You just described his Captain Charisma attire, and Christian is a multi time WWE, World Heavyweight and ECW champion
I dunno about champion but he certainly should have had an extended program with Cena on his own. But Vince didn't get him and they resented that he was getting popular on his own.
His best phase doesn't necessarily needs to have his best theme, the V2 sounds way more original
@@Mr_Leo_DS lol no
Oh wow, you were right! He's being used exceptionally well! Oh wait
Christian has always had good taste in picking his entrance theme songs
Hearing the brood theme makes me wish they had it in the nxt wwe game. Imagine Aleister Black,Black, & Demon Balor coming out how Brood use to
Locked my doors when the brood theme hit .
Jokes on you when your bathroom engulfs in flames and the Brood rise out of your shower drain.
Just close your eyes...story of the year...always the best theme among themes....
9:05 legendary.. Waterproof Blonde
Greatest Christian theme imo
Best theme song
The TNA theme is my favorite one, his run in that company made him one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. However, as far as WWE is concerned, Just Close Your Eyes is where it's at.
The brood is definitely my favorite theme of all time, just makes you wanna stand in a ring of fire and walk like Gangrel😭
I love both versions of "Blood Brother" but the first "At Last" is just perfect.
Christian also had one of the best TNA themes.
Christian has never had a bad theme all of his themes were great with all of the gimmicks he had
9:05 his best one 👏👏👏👏👏
I always liked the KAZOOS OF DEATH in "Blood Brother"
I actually liked his first singles theme. It was weird, but I liked it and it was catchy.
I know it's WWE only but It would of been cool to show his TNA theme too. That's my favourite of his themes with the original close your eyes song as second.
His TNA theme was basically just My Last Breath by Evanescence.
Pure hits! Instant Classic after another! Forever a peep!
I'm not sure I can think of another wrestler who's had quite so many really good themes.
Hogan. I swear this dude never has a bad theme.
When he first got Real American, to the TNA rendition of the NWO Japan theme, never had a shitty theme.
Christian's theme collection is a great collection. I would include personally that Evanescence ripoff theme of his in TNA as that one is a personal favorite of mine
Blood Brother V1 was a sweet rarity, but dear god V2 sends chills all over and will always be a legendary goth masterpiece
I like problem solver, close your eyes the 2005 version, on the edge, at last but his TNA theme was perfect for main event Christian
Hi! I just found this on a whim and I love it! I have been doing literally all these playlists in my head for yearz!!!
There's a whole Jimi Hendrix and nWo thing!!!! Thank you for all you've done!!!!
That symphony opening to Waterproof Blonde's Just Close Your Eyes is the best
Who didn't use the Brood's entrance for their create-a-wrestler back in the day?
I always thought I remembered wrong with Christian's theme from September 2001 (#5), unaware it was literally changed 13 days later (#6) and accepted the fact I remembered wrongly of the theme being slightly different... Now I can accept that I remembered correctly. 😎
With "just close your eyes" theme, 2004-2005 was the best time to Christian be a World Champion.
Just Close Your Eyes v2 is his best and should be his legacy song he gets remembered for.
V1 with the female is better but everyone that pulls that out uses the low quality when album one is better
V1 far superior
V1 is far more nostalgic.
Simps
Hey I have listen to both songs of V1 and V2 in 2020, so its not about nostalgia to me, but I think V2 is much better
problem solver.. theme when i was a kid up to now .im still trying it with my mouth to imitate the vibe of the music..
Every theme of this guy was nice!! Including some of the Best.
Most Underrated Wrestler

1. Just Close Your Eyes - Waterproof Blonde
2. At Last
3. Just Close Your Eyes - Story of the Year
4. Blood
5. At Last V2

Story of The year 1
6, 5 and 8 are my favorites in that order. These were so damn 🔥
blood brother is so cool
"On Your Own" what an under rated theme.
Top of the list for me is always On Your Own because it just sounds like Queen meets the opera, and that's something truly spectacular that is almost lost save for that one sound clip with arena noises. Close Your Eyes is his definitive theme, but I love me some On Your Own.
On Your Own is V3. The Tempest is V1.
Number 9 just didn’t fit him at all
But close your eyes is the best ever! It fit him the best. But my favorite one was number 11
Problem Solver is the name of the song, and I think it was later used by Christian’s running buddy at the time Tyson Tomko.
Number 9 did kinda fit him tho, but I heard the reason they changed from "At Last" is because it was too catchy a song and they wanted him booed
I love the brood theme
In my opinion the Waterproof Blonde version of Just Close Your Eyes was Christian's best theme
Same followed by Take Over.
I remember the September 16th 2001 theme. It was AWESOME
I remember reading they changed it people, Christian was getting a baby face response because the music was so cool.
