Matt D Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I love it too. It just feels totally different from anything in wrestling. I'm not sure it helps with the demo mind you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says cuttig edge like using a song that's a literal FIFTY YEARS OLD. Is the goal “cutting edge?” We hang onto a lot of fifty year old stuff as a culture that we have fondness for, songs included. Use it in marketing and content all the time. Wouldn’t be shocked if King Marty puts Gimme Shelter in Killers of the Flower Moon. Spoiler I’m kidding. He won’t do that. Probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Wait, so the biggest feud in the company is between a guy who comes out to Cult of Personality and a group that comes out to Carry on My Wayward Son, and we're supposed to believe AEW is missing the mark using one of Elton John's biggest hits? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Will they use "Tuesday's Gone" when the show gets preempted three days? Whose version? How much is TK willing to spend on a weird joke? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a dude who was born in 1981, TK's eclectic selection of Classic Rock station hits is amazing. However, why hasn't this fucker gotten the rights to AC/DC's If You Want Blood (You've Got It) for Blood & Guts? It's right there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think they're using that song in an attempt to be "cutting edge"? If so, you're fucking weird, man. Seems like they've taken a catchy, relevant song with built-in goodwill and feelgood-factor. Trying to be cutting edge with Elton John. Fuck me dead. What a theory. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m two years younger than TK and two of the best concerts I’ve ever been to have been within the last year and they’re all older acts too (Toto & Journey, and Elton John). I swear when Toto started playing Africa that’s the loudest I’ve ever heard (in person) a concert crowd get. It’s like everyone had to know it was coming because they had played all their other hits and it was time for Journey to come out, but it was still incredible to hear how loud they got the minute the music hit.

PAC's a Ben IRL, maybe bring him back and have it play through all of his matches New Jack style. Might sync up nicely with some of those sarcastic slow motion kick exchanges with Cassidy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 There’s an entire genre of videos on TikTok where GenZ discover and dig old songs. Hell, Kate Bush ended up charting again because the kids loved Running Up That Hill so much when Stranger Things used it. But that’s only a 40 year old song 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of Kate Bush. I actually prefer Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill especially this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5kPZT3wgoy4&pp=ygUgcGxhY2VibyBydW5uaW5nIHVwIHRoYXQgaGlsbCBiYmM%3D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Speaking of nearly 50 year old songs, I would much rather have the Bay City Rollers “Saturday Night” but I get that it’s about having fun with your baby to the rock and roll, not fighting. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
