I just saw SD!, and therefore, the promo.

Firstly, the song has the potential to work as a straight theme. Hell, Drew McIntyre's is pretty fucking slow, even without half of the first verse (uh oh, I smell a YouTube mash up...) Just needs "stadium mixed" with some amped instrumentation, keep the thunder in it, and maybe even the "gong" on the hook at the last "down" and it has the potential to grow on people.

The "humanizing" aspect kind of happened vs Shawn (for example, when he had stated 'Mania was "when he can show his peers" he's every bit the bad ass he's made out to be), but the "Light vs. Dark" symbolisim with the publicly born-again Michaels was too good a hook to pass on.

The only thing I hope doesn't happen is reverting back to dressing as "Taker, Texas Ranger". We could do without that shit.
