Song of the Moment LXXXI: CFO$’s “Root of All Evil” (feat. Incendiary)

Aleister Black returns to WWE and attacks The Miz.

On last week’s SmackDown, Aleister Black returned and attacked The Miz. Sorry, Miz, you are one of my favorites of the modern era, but seeing Black on WWE makes me so happy because he is also a favorite of mine of this era. I have been a fan of Black since I saw his match against Neville at WWE’s United Kingdom Championship Tournament in 2017 (his name is Tommy End at that time), and then I followed his NXT and main roster run. He has a dark, mysterious aura, and his strikes are precise and vicious. If Black and The Undertaker would battle it out in the ring to see who’s the best pure striker, that would be awesome.

Side note: I wish I could say that I followed Aleister Black’s entire AEW run as Malakai Black, but I can’t. I only saw a few matches, but that’s it. Sorry.

Anyway, not only is Aleister Black back in WWE, but his first (and best) WWE theme song, “Root of All Evil”, is back as well. (Well, a remix of it, at least.) “Root of All Evil” sounds like an epic orchestral rock song you would hear during the apocalypse, and it is my third favorite pro wrestling theme of all time next to Finn Bálor’s “Catch Your Breath” and The Undertaker’s theme. Hearing it again on WWE again makes me so ecstatic.

After seeing Aleister Black’s return, I looked up “Root of All Evil” on Spotify, but sadly it’s not available there. Because of that, I’m listening to it on YouTube for now.

Welcome back, Aleister Black!

Song of the Moment XLV: Catch Your Breath (Finn Bálor’s Theme Song)

Let me just say this: I like Finn Bálor’s current WWE theme, “I Am Danger”, but it will never beat “Catch Your Breath” (both the original and remix versions). It’s my 2nd favorite pro wrestling theme song next to Undertaker’s (all versions) because, in my opinion, the exquisite orchestral rock fits Finn Bálor’s character and his alter ego “The Demon”. And strangely, it’s also 1 of the 3 songs I listen to when I start feeling happy. (Learn the other 2 on this post.)

I miss hearing “Catch Your Breath” on WWE TV. I hope “The Demon” Finn Bálor returns someday with it.

That is all. Happy Monday!

Song of the Moment XXXV: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (Again)

For some strange reason, the 1st thing I do when I feel happy is listen to a favorite song. It’s either “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters (my favorite song of all time), Finn Bálor’s 1st theme song (I love this song over his current one), or “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour (an excellent hard rock song and CM Punk’s theme song). Today, I’m listening to the latter on repeat. Again.

(This is the 2nd time “Cult of Personality” is my Song of the Moment. You can check out the 1st post here.)

I hope this happy mood lasts for long. And speaking of CM Punk, his rivalry against Drew McIntyre is one of the most exciting storylines in WWE recently, and they have not fought in a match yet. I’m looking forward to their inevitable bout.

Happy week ahead, everyone!
