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.

The original version of “Catch Your Breath”, Finn Bálor’s theme song.

That is all. Happy Monday!

XIV: On Going to Japan and Saving More Money

I have been posting more Song the Moment and Minute Warning entries since this February, and I just drank 4 Jack and Cokes, so maybe it’s time to break the cycle and write a normal blog post.

Here we go…

V: Taking Souls & Digging Holes: Six Reasons The Undertaker Is The Deranged Writer’s Favorite Pro Wrestler

This is a part of “14 Days of The Deranged Writer”, a birthday blog series on The Diary.

I, The Deranged Writer, was born on December 5, 1990. 13 days before that, on the night of November 22, 1990, WWE unleashed a stoic monster and then-future legend at Survivor Series. That was the night Mark Calaway became The Undertaker.

Since his debut, The Undertaker has become one of the greatest characters and professional wrestlers of all time. He has won the WWE Championship four times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the WWE World Tag Team Championship six times, the WWE Hardcore Championship once, and the 2007 Royal Rumble Match (entering at number 30). But his most impressive accomplishment is The Streak, a series of 21 straight victories at WWE’s flagship event, WrestleMania.

The Undertaker has faced and beaten numerous iconic opponents, notably The Rock, Bret “Hitman” Hart, “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Triple H, John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, Edge, and CM Punk, and he has earned the respect of all that he has fought in the squared circle, his other peers and the fans. And after retiring on November 22, 2020, 30 years after he made his debut, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.

In celebration of today, The Undertaker’s WWE anniversary, I will explain why he is my all-time favorite pro wrestler. Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.
