Recycled Entrance Music

[Razor Rybek]

On Velocity when Orlando Jordan came out, i could swear blind i had heard his music somewhere before in WWE. (Can't remember where though!).

So, can anyone remember anyone else who's used the same music as a
wrestler from the past?

[Synergy]

Kurt Angle uses the Patriots theme.

The Hardy Boyz music was originally from an Austin promo I seem to remember.

I think Orlando Jordans was one of the Diva's music, but offhand I cannot remember which....

[JT]

I beleive the Dudley's first theme song (the one Spike still uses) was originally Ahmed Johnsons theme song.

[Iceman90]

I think William Regal's music was recycled (not sure). Not sure if it counts, but nWo's music was recycled for the WWE version of the group, same with Deisel's music for Nash.

[Rob]

I beleive the Dudley's first theme song (the one Spike still uses) was originally Ahmed Johnsons theme song.

It's not although it's similar.

[Rob]

Orlando Jordans used to be used on various WWF vignettes over the years. Usually focused on live events.

Kurt Angle uses the Patriots theme.

<font color=Silver>I think it was Terri Runnels</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm 99% certain that The Kat used to use Orlando Jordan's theme</font>

[The Ravishing One]

Steve Blackman used the 1997 Bad Blood theme

[The Ravishing One]

Rock n Roll Express used The Rockers theme, this was about 1997

[Cactus Sid]

I remember hearing the Hardyz and Steve Blackman's themes on promos for the Playboy Channel back in 99 or something

[The Ravishing One]

Yeah how weird was that?

[Razor Rybek]

I remember hearing the Hardyz and Steve Blackman's themes on promos for the Playboy Channel back in 99 or something

The Dudleyz too!

[Evolution]

I definately heard Blackmans on a Discovery Channel advert.

And Jeff Hardy's theme was on an Austin vignette. I remember him saying "Oh Hell Yeah!" "And that's the bottom line, why? Because Stone Cold said so!" "And everybody's got it in for Stone Cold Steve Austin, uh-uh that's not gonna work!"

From about Over The Edge 1999. Just before The Rock's vignette came out, and that music was later used at Judgement Day 2000.

How do I remember this crap? :meh:

[ilt_undertaker]

<font color=Silver>Crah Hollys' theme was used for those Bevis/ButtHead DVD commercials</font>

[Innovator]

Mike Tyson's theme at WM 14 was used for X-Pac

Lawrence Taylor's theme was used for Bam Bam Bigelow when he turned face

[FourFifty]

Lita's first (I think) theme became Terri's theme.
Spike's theme was the Dudley Boyz 2nd theme.
The Dudley's first theme was some diva... I think The Kat.
People already pointed out Angle using the Patriot's theme.
I've heard Lita's first theme on the UPN news in SoCali.
Spanky's theme was used for some ESPN promo for a reality show.
Marc Mero's first WWF theme is now Sable's WWE theme.
Marc Mero's second theme was used fot some midcard WCW wrestler.
The "Brawl For All" theme became Bart Gunn's theme.
Chuck and Billy's theme is now used for Rico's theme, but they took out most of the lyrics.

[Shaggy]

The No Chance In Hell for McMahons theme was originally the theme for the No Chance In Hell Royal Rumble

[Corkscrewed]

If Orlando Jordan's theme is the same one I hear when he occassionally shows up on SD!, then it's the music they play when they do the WWE SmackDOWN! calendar (upcoming events). That might be why it's so familiar.

And it could have been an old theme too.

[The One]

I heard Cactus Jack's music on a porno once... :shifty:

[KayfabeMan]

Songs that were used for entrance music,like the ones
for Steve Blackman, Acolytes, The Hardy Boyz, Crash
Holly-and others-are all generic songs that can be used
for anything at any time (except you can't sell the music).

The "Hardyz" music can be heard regularly on FX!'s Tough
Man Competitions,as well as in various commercials and
at sporting events. "Steve Blackman's" theme can be heard
in various commercials as well,and as someone said,the theme
used for Crash can be heard in the Beavis & Butthead commercial...

In WCW-ville,Jim Powers had generic music that could be
heard in television ads all the time (and still can). That was
another example of above said type of generic use music
that belongs to no one at all.

As far as other recycled themes go,after The Hollywood Blonde's
left WCW, their theme was used many times for various jobbers
on Saturday Night, Pro,and other shows. Also,prior to Goldberg's
arrival in WCW,his music was used for many jobbers,most noticibly
-and regularly- with Pat Tanaka (formerly of
The Orient Express).

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

I've heard Blackmans theme and Hardcore Hollys old theme on porn before

[Mike the Metal Ed]

The Dudleyz too!

And Too Cool's!

[Mike the Metal Ed]

80s Hulk Hogan's theme was used for Mr. America. :shifty:

...and various Jackass episodes.

[Kane Knight]

80s Hulk Hogan's theme was used for Mr. America. :shifty:

Well, they were trying to push that ridiculous notion that he was really Hulk Hogan, despite looking NOTHING like him...So every little bit helped.

They also used "Real American" for like 50 different "legends" at one point or another...I'm pretty sure it was used for at least Paterson and Brisco...

[ColdwaVer]

80s Hulk Hogan's theme was used for Mr. America.

You bastard, I wanted to do that joke. :rant:

And yeah, Patterson and Brisco used it anytime they hit the ring, the first time was a tease that a "former champion" would be wrestling.

[The Naitch]

Big Show used Real American Backlash 2000. Surprisingly he looked more like Hulk Hogan than Mr. American did.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The nWo theme was originally used in a porno</font>

[Kane Knight]

Big Show used Real American Backlash 2000. Surprisingly he looked more like Hulk Hogan than Mr. American did.

That's cuz the Showster IS a real American...

[The Naitch]

Mr. America was clearly Bastion Booger

[The Dub]

Chavo Guerrero uses Eddie's old theme from WCW. Rodney Mack's theme is a version of the WrestleMania 2000 theme. What ever happened to Del Wilkes?

[Gertner]

at the end of his career, bill demott came out to marc mero's old theme

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Practically every hillbilly-gimmicked wrestler used the "Country Boy" theme at one point or another.</font>

[glycerine]

yeah um booker t's new theme music used to be.. the noise when someone got slammed through a table onto an owl going down a garbage disposal without the water on

[Danny Electric]

I've heard Blackmans theme and Hardcore Hollys old theme on porn before

I've heard Holly's before on porn.

[loopydate]

I heard Cactus Jack's music on a porno once... :shifty:

Kinda lends new meaning to the term "Bang bang," doesn't it?

[ColdwaVer]

Mr. America was clearly Bastion Booger

*wipes a tear* Damn I miss those jokes. :foc: Hogan, you greedy rat bastard.

[BLaZeR-]

LoL..I remember watching an old Kids in the Hall episode where the gay cast member played some woman fashion designer, and they played Booker T's theme.

Francesca Fiore.

Scott Thompson played the character, who was a play on the superspy genre. The skit you're talking about has her selling her own perfume.

Yeah, that's it.

[FourFifty]

"Real American" was first used by Rutondo and Whindam, I think. Thus, Mike Rutondo, better known as IRS, is Mr. America.

[diamondcutter]

the "West Texas Rednecks" stable in WCW used Jeff Jarrett's theme when he first came to WCW in late '96. I think it was called "Good 'ol Boys."


Even though these themes aren't related, whenever I hear the intro to Foley's theme with the screeching tires, I get it confused with Razor Ramon's music.

[123 kid]

Wasn't the Godfathers Entrance theme Flash Funks entrance theme? And this might not count but I think the car screech at the start of Mankinds Theme was used for the start of Razor Ramons theme..........

[AxelYoungblood]

The Patriot/Kurt angle theme has always been used for years for other "patriotic" wrestlers if i remember rightly.

Wasn't there once a story line where Owen hart "stole" the hitman's entrance music, so Bret got a new jazzed up version instead? Or was that some sort of fruity dream i once had?
Speaking of dreams involving bret...6 months before he turned heel, i had a dream that i was a wrestler and bret turned heel on me..Weird eh? but anway, going off the point slightly, there seems to have been tonns more themes that have been recycled over the years..Can anyone clearly make the difference between the Rocker's theme and The Ultimate Warriors theme without thinking about it for a second?

[Funky Fly]

No. The themes are different.

As for Mankind and Razor, I thought that for a while, but it seems that Mankind's one is longer... and sounds like real tires screeching.

Owen stole Bret's finisher, but I don't know about theme music.

Plenty of guys who used the same theme long enough get jazzed up updates.

HHH
Shawn Michaels
Bret Hart
Chris Jericho
Goldberg
The Nasty Boys (sort of)

[Kane Knight]

Hey, didn't X-Pac use the same theme as those Degeneration something-or-other guys?

[AxelYoungblood]

[QUOTE=Funky Fly]Owen stole Bret's finisher, but I don't know about theme music.
[\QUOTE]

yeah, i remember that bit, and i don't think it ever did actually happen cos i dont ever remember owen having that theme, but it's one of those things i always thought happened.
