Big Bossman's theme in Wrestlemania 7.

[D Mac]

So I was watching WM7 today off of my WM Anthology.

Big Boss Man vs Mr. Perfect for the IC title. Bossman comes out with his McMahon "enforcer" music.

Didn't he have the "Hard Time" theme at WM 7? If so, why did they change it?

[The Mackem]

Didn't they do something stupid a few years ago and go back and replace all current wrestlers (at the time) previous music with their current themes?

A lot of the WM anthology DVDs have replaced themes. One stupid example is Reverend Slick's theme. Instead of "Jive Soul Bro" it's some weird generic "funk" theme.

I'm sure there are [retarded] reasons for doing so.

Change: Undertaker's "American Bad Ass" & "Rollin'" changed to his "Ministry" theme.
Reason: Licensing rights I'm sure

Change: Big Boss Man's "Hard Time" changed to "Enforcer"
Reason: Beats the fuck outta me

Change: Slick's "Jive Soul Bro" changed to "Generic Funk Theme #47"
Reason: :?:

Change: The nWo's "Rockhouse" theme changed to something else
Reason: Licensing issues

Thing is, they left a lot of themes the same, like the Hardy Boyz's "Loaded" theme and Too Cool's "U Look Fly 2 Day" theme, both of which are licensed from outside companies.

The fact WWE didn't renew the nWo music licence is fucking stupid.

[McDoogle]

The nWo entrance theme is the best ever.

I believe that WWE has to get Jimmy Harts permission to use the songs he did for WWE because they would not give him the rights to the songs he did in WCW.

[D Mac]

So who owns the nWo theme then? And I thought Vince could buy anything.

[Xero]

Isn't the nWo theme a production theme (minus the voices)?

[Disturbed316]

Nah, it's from some other company who wrote it.

Also, the Tagged Classic dvd's over here in the UK DONT have the music changed in them. I'm guessing when the more modern dvd's come out (with rollin etc) they will, but the early mania's, rumble's etc don't.
