Battle of the Themes #2: Christian
 

Well, Hunter's "My Time" (drink) came out on top in the first round. Next up is Christian "Batista can't get in the" Cage.

Note: I've been using Xylot's archives to get the numbering and naming down, so if I'm ever missing anything significant, it's not listed there.

First Version of Just Close Your Eyes.

Story of the Year's version of Just Close Your Eyes

Jeez, so many of these are good

As much as I love his current theme (either version) and his TNA theme was pretty bad ass, I distinctly remember how much me and my mates marked out to At Last, it just worked so well at the time, awesome theme music

I've gone with the original just close your eyes, but At Last is so fucking awesome as well. Marked out at the karaoke in the video first time he used that.

First version of Just Close Your Eyes. They really butchered it for the "remix".

At Last was also amazing, and I liked his TNA theme too before they remixed it near the end of his run.

Losers. At last is where it's at.

Blood Brother.... I loved that theme.... Christian always had great themes, so this one was hard to decide

My favorite one is the version of At Last that he used for about two weeks before he switched to the other one. "Close Your Eyes" is pretty good, as is his TNA Theme surprisingly, but I always liked "Blood Brother". Under-used theme I believe.

If you close your eyes your life will make the truth revealed...

Well, I think thats how it goes... :-\

First version of Just Close Your Eyes. Mainly as it was part of one of my biggest mark-out moments when Christian came out to confront Cena on his first Raw.

At last.

It was perfect for his character at the time.

It's also a brilliant entrance with the pyro

Really tough because he's had so many awesome themes. I loved the original TNA theme, and At Last was a stroke of genius, but the original Close Your Eyes does it for me. :love: the instrumental at the beginning.

Oh yes. With the pyrofall of gold sparks he stepped through? Man I loved that entrance.

Christian has always had quality entrances.

The original Just Close Your Eyes is probably one of my favourite themes in general.

hate joining a bandwagon, but the first version of close your eyes is the best out the choices

At Last hes on his ooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwn




Relegated to helping out rookies in ECW, but on his own anyway

Going with 5

All of Christian's WWF/E themes are amazing...but went with original Just Close Your Eyes.

I went with Just Close your eyes.

I forgot all about 'at last'! That wins it for me. Great theme.

I think the whole reason Xero's doing this is because the guys he select all have generally great themes. And this ain't any different, Peepulation perhaps lagging behind a bit.

At Last was absolutely immense, and the original Just Close Your Eyes is far better than the current version.

I'll go with At Last since tonnes have already voted for Just Close Your Eyes.

Edit: Also this just made me remember how far titantrons have fallen since the Attitude Era. Back then they used to be much more than just throwing together clips of the guy wrestling + some filters. Now only the absolute champs like Taker, Michaels and H have the old-style titantrons.

That's not a bad thing though.

Yeah, that's right. Just responding to all the people saying 'its hard to pick because Christian always has good things' or the like.

Waterproof Blonde ('06) ftw. I really hope if he ever goes back to SmackDown! that they revert back to this theme for him. It is too awesome to just fade in to oblivion.

Blood Brother is just a kickass Jim Johnston instrumental theme.

AT LAST! YOU'RE ON! YOUR OWN!!!!!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME AND SPIT IN MY EYE...*dununununun*
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME TO DIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIE
...

No, I voted for JCYE, but....

lol, I have Just Close Your Eyes stuck in my head now.

waterproof blonde.

mainly cause i like evanescence, and if you listen to this and one of the songs on "fallen".. (i think #10 or something), you can hear the resemblance...

The original "Just Close your Eyes" is my all time favorite theme.

the original Just Close Your Eyes is an absolutely perfect theme

Well, it's easy to hear a resemblence to generic crap....:p

Original "Just Close Your Eyes" is the best. I don't DISLIKE the new one, but its not as good as the original.



(wow this is the first time I've posted on the boards in months I think)

Also props for picking the best version of 'At Last'. :y:

The new version of Just Close Your Eyes is ok, but it sounds like a theme for a lower mid carder. The original version sounded like a theme for a main eventer.

You forgot...

See, it's my personal stance that his 7th and 8th trons, some 2.5-3 years apart, represented two very different stages in the WWF/E of Christians then still budding career. Thus I ask that my vote for Christian's '06 theme be recused, as much as I hate saying that...:-\

A belated vote for "At Last". It's the theme I always associate with him.
