Watch IV: The Most Shocking Heel Turn In Recent Memory

After a long, stressful work week and resting during the weekend, I would like to talk about something that happened last March 2 (Philippine time)—a moment that I’m still not over with because of how it shocked everyone in the pro wrestling world.

(This is a spoiler warning if you have not seen WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto. I know that almost everyone has seen it, but I’m just being careful.)

Song of the Moment LXI: Jim Johnston’s “The Undertaker (Original Piano Demo)” (Again)

One of the things I look forward to during the holiday season is Spotify Wrapped. The minute 2024 Wrapped was released, I got excited and checked all the year-end statistics and playlists. It was like opening gifts on Christmas Day.

Upon checking and top songs playlist of 2024 (which has 100 songs overall), I learned that my top 1 song is Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality (Remastered 2023)“. I love the original version, but I have been listening to the remastered version more because it is the current version that CM Punk (one of my favorite pro wrestlers ever) uses as his WWE theme song, and I have been listening a lot. No wonder it’s my top 1 song of this year.

After checking “Cult of Personality” and the rest of the top 10, my eyes went straight to number 13. And what’s on number 13? It’s Jim Johnston’s piano demo of the theme song of my top 1 favorite pro wrestler, The Undertaker. I had a feeling that the piano instrumental would make it to the top 15 (if not the top 10) because I have experienced numerous sad days this 2024 and I have listened to the instrumental to give me comfort while letting me feel the melancholy.

Now that I mentioned it, I will listen to the piano demo to relax my nerves. Today I had a long day at work and I finally got to walk and jog at my favorite jogging path after more than a week, so a peaceful wind-down is in order.

Thank you once again, Mr. Jim Johnston. Again I say, you should have been in the WWE Hall of Fame years ago. I hope you get inducted next year, sir.
