The parts without words are good. The words.... are not.

I thought the C-E-O chant was just for the debut...but it's still in there. I voted Neutral.

CEO is such a weird substitute for the boss moniker imo.

It's okay, but starting out with Symphony No. 9 in E Minor when it was used by Walter/Gunther is really dumb on their part.

She's the boss, CEO, queen (if you're feeling dramatic)...

It's good until the words start, then it just kinda goes downhill. The "C-E-O!" part especially feels like a rather cringe attempt to force a chant and feels very misplaced.

This is the only thing I don't like about it. Aside from that, I think it's pretty good.

How? It's an ultimately lackluster theme. Why would that cause 25 pages of discussion?

I think the issue is they want to force a "moment," like when crowds sing along with the themes of Rollins/Zayn/etc., but instead of being natural, they tried to force it with the "C-E-O!" bit, and it shows. It doesn't actually flow with the rest of the song at all.

I hate the C-E-O part. Fucking horrible.

The rest is ok. Not good, not bad. Ok.

Absolutely ridiculous to include a chant in a theme.

It is a bit forced but it's working on the crowd

Well, of course it is. You can get a crowd to chant pretty much anything. That doesn't make it good.

Now THIS is a fucking natural crowd reaction. This is when you know you have a good ass theme.

EDIT: And for those that don't know the context, the "LET'S GO!" and the "Oh oh oh ohhhhh ohhhhh" (past the "Let's go!") is NOT part of his theme, that's entirely the crowd. His theme has no vocals at all, outside of the first like, three seconds.

The ceo chant is annoying and I can't be bothered to look up the rest of the song on youtube or to sit through the chanting, so I just fast forward.

But it'd kinda fitting for a star and Mercedes is as big a star as you can get in modern Pro Wrestling

WWE tried their damndest to get Charlotte more over with the crowd than Sasha/Mercedes including benching her for no reason now that was forced.

Oh. Now I get the point of this topic.

No, not even remotely.

That would probably be a major pain in the ass on my phone with topics where most posts have pics.

Also, this theme was produced by her. She showed up with this theme ready to be used.

Mikey Ruckus (the guy who does all of AEW's original themes) has been quick to point out he didn't make it.
