Best Theme Song Tourney Rd 1: Shinsuke Nakamura "The Rising Sun" vs. Goldust "Gold-Lust" (CLOSED)

[Chris Cool]

Shattered dreams productions presents.

I understand why some would pick nakanura though. Buddy is funaki status without that song.

 

[Riley Escobar]

Two dope themes, but Goldust's is arguably the best theme EVER for how it instantly gets across the gimmick and what it represents through the instrumentation, chord progression and constant switching between major and minor keys



This is the best version of it, with the strings and that extended outro at 3:25

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Love Nakamura's theme as a wrestling theme but that Goldust theme is a beautiful composition of music that could be in a regular instrumental album and not feel out of place. Brilliant composition

 

[BrehWyatt]

I'm sad I gotta vote against Nak.

But Gold-lust is a true magnum opus theme.

 

[Nero Christ]

I always thought the actual theme was also called Shattered Dreams

Goldust with Marlena tho

 

[Da_Eggman]

i hope dustin comes back one day and we hear the real goldust theme

Goldust theme is one of the greatest entrance themes of all time nuff said

Can’t believe here in 2024 that Undertaker openly admitted he got over this spot

Spoiler

Now we know why he’s called Under-taker

what you say???

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Both themes are great to listen to but Nakamura theme has that crowd participaion and is one of the best CFO$ did

I watched RAW for about 5 min the other night. Nakamura came out doing his goofy thing completely out of sync with the theme. For me that theme only mattered at the debut and those couple of Manias. After that Nak himself made it this little background theme that supplements his weirdness

I remember when Goldust debuted on TV...music and entrance was nothing like I've ever seen.

 

[Versa]

As much as I want to say rising sun, I gotta stick with goldust. Also I think its main best was used as inspiration for Roman’s theme (at least it sounds similar to me). Nearly 30 years and that theme is still flawless

Wowwww it really does have the same melody as Roman's theme. I had no clue till you pointed it out.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Nakamura’s theme is one of the few modern era themes that stands out, but Goldust’s has been fire since it dropped and is both nostalgic and fresh
