Name as many wrestling themes that are rip offs of real songs as you can

[Funky Fly]

I'll leave the WCW ones alone for now, but

Jamie Noble's current theme = Queen's Stone Cold Crazy (especially the previous version of this theme)
FBI theme = Beastie Boys' No Sleep Till Brooklyn

You get the idea.

[Thriller]

Chris Jericho WCW theme - even flow by pearl jam

[Jaton]

Raven's WCW - Come As You Are by Nirvana
DDP's WCW - Smells like teen spirit

[tucsonspeed6]

Is Orton's theme a ripoff, or is it the actual song just remixed? I can't tell.

[Mister Sinister]

DDP WCW Theme - Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Jeff Jarrett's WCW Theme - Kid Rock "Cowboy"

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Sandman TNA - Metallica - Enter Sandman
Black Shirt Security TNA - Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Monty Brown TNA - System of a Down - Toxicity

[Innovator]

i thought Monty Brown's was Down with the Sickness?

[Funky Fly]

It is, or at least a rip off.

[KayfabeMan]

Russo's WCW theme was like "Ironman" by Ozzy.

One of Rick Steiner's (IIRC it was Rick) WCW themes was a knockoff of Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold".

Luger's one WCW theme was also similar to "Violet" from Courtney Love in certain aspects.

[Mister Sinister]

When Raven returned to TNA in Febuary, it was Offspring - Come Out and Play

[Mike the Metal Ed]

i thought Monty Brown's was Down with the Sickness?

Sounds like Toxicity to me (bearing in mind my TNA is 6 months out of date.)

--EDIT-- Just listened to it off nwatna.com and it is Down With the Sickness, but I'm certain in our 6-month old version, its Toxicity

[AareDub]

Quite a few of those aren't ripoffs, they are just the actual song. Especially when you're looking at ECW, TNA, and to some extent WCW.

yea just like how the Dudleys had Bombshell as part of there theme or how Undertaker was using Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit. Its all a big weave of things...some are ripoffs and some are actually music licensed to them.

[Stickman]

I remember a lot of WCW tunes were rip offs.

[Gone Mad]

The NWO theme had parts from a Jimi Hendrix song (can't remember the name though).

Umm I thought it was "Voodoo Chile"?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Umm I thought it was "Voodoo Chile"?

That was Hogan's WWE theme.

[Semetery]

Rey Mysterio Jr's theme in ECW was a Metallica song, but I can't remember what one. Its the one that has the tune Kid Rock ripped off for American Bad Ass.

[Innovator]

sad but true

[Xero]

That was Hogan's WWE theme.
Hogan also had Voodoo Child in WCW...

[KillerWolf]

That was Hogan's WWE theme.
first of all the song is called "Voodoo Child". Second it wasnt a rip-off of the song, "Voodoo Child". it WAS the song, "Voodoo Child".

[parkmania]

Balls Mahoney - "Big Balls" not sure who did it tho...

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I never said it was.

--EDIT-- I didn't mention the name of the song either, that was the guy I quoted.

[Thriller]

AC/DC

[Funky Fly]

In ECW, they used real songs, not rip offs, btw.

[Apprentice]

I don't remember but was Macho Man's theme in the 80s and early 90s the graduation song or a variation of it?

[MrBunghole]

Billy Kidman's 2nd theme in WCW was a rip off of Pearl Jam's Once.

Actually, I still have the recording of WCW's last-ever PPV, Greed, on VHS. I still have it to this day. Coincidentally, it was on my 17th birthday.

[FourFifty]

A lot of TNA's music is ripped off, but if I had to give credit to one song, it would be one of James Storm's theme. "Sorry About Your Damn Luck" is a rip off of my favorite "Well no shit I've been drinking" song, "Electric Rodeo" by Shooter Jennings.

Seriously, when I've been drinking and I hear "Electric Rodeo" I am just beside myself with joy.

[Tom Guycott]

WCW - Hugh Morrus/Scorpions - The Zoo
WWE - Crush/Crue - Shout at the Devil

Rob Van Dam's first WWF theme (before they gave it lyrics) was a pretty blatant ripoff of his ECW theme, Pantera's "Walk"

[Damndirty]

Raven's WCW - Come As You Are by Nirvana
DDP's WCW - Smells like teen spirit
