Here are all of the candidates. I urge you to give each song a listen and not just vote for one you recognize, or the one you submitted.


"I Made It" by Dead By April


"The Last Fight" by Bullet For My Valentine


"This Is War" by 30 Seconds To Mars


"Shameless" by The Fratellis


"Everything Is Broken (feat. Kid Cudi)" by Mr. Hudson


"Dead and Gone (feat. Justin Timberlake)" by T.I.


"Go Hard (feat. Kanye West & T-Pain)" by DJ Khaled



Poll will close in a week.

I went ahead and voted for "I Made It" as my top choice. It reflects the idea of getting to Redemption as making it, much like WWE did with their song of the same name. I also really dug "This Is War" as a choice, probably more than the other song I submitted. "Shameless," while a good song, doesn't strike me as a wrestling theme, and I don't think "Dead and Gone" reflects the theme of Redemption very much.

Dead and Gone fits everything nicely. And it's least whiney tweener rock.

I feel like "whiney tweener rock" doesn't fit any of the songs above at all.

Definately does not fit shameless. The only one you might put into that category is Thirty Seconds to Mars and even that connection is more likely if you actually look at how they dress and do their make up and such for performances. But just based on music and lyrical content it does not fit.

I would disagree with Grav's assessment on "Shameless" not fitting as a theme. It is something that for a long time now when I listen to it, I can see so much of WPW happening in my head. Especially now, the lyrical content really goes along with an evokes feelings of WPW. And the actual music behind it has enough of a consistant beat to not feel like a tribute video, and there are definite times when you can tell where there would be rough cuts to different bits of action.

"I Made It", the actual sound of it, does not ironically here, to me, fit as an overall theme. It sounds more like something you play after a big feud is over to recap somebody's long journey. Like if Sal won the WPW title at Redemption, that would be the song you played to go with the clips of his run to the belt. It's too mellow for large chunks of time.

"Go Hard" is used for a lot right now. And it just does not seem to fit, feels more like you would use it for the sake of using something.

"This Is War" is missing a little something, but I have yet to put my finger on it entirely. It may actually be that the slight whine or painish sound in the voice actually distracts just enough to make it sound more depressing than it should.

Have to listen to the other rap songs a little more. And Bullet For My Valentine I could see using that before the Main Event during a video package to show the build up to the (Fatal?)Fourway.

That is my thinking behind my choice on this one.

I've taken a listen to all the songs, but my number one vote still goes for This is War because I think it has a nice tone to it that fits with the theme of Redemption, ... I'll go with my second vote for ''I made it'' by Dead by April because I think its the next best song in that list I could imagine being used at a ppv show.
