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

Chris Jericho WCW theme - even flow by pearl jam

Jaton 09-02-2004 07:31 PM

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

tucsonspeed6 09-02-2004 07:33 PM

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

Mister Sinister 09-02-2004 07:34 PM

DDP WCW Theme - Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

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

Mike the Metal Ed 09-02-2004 07:34 PM

Sandman TNA - Metallica - Enter Sandman
Black Shirt Security TNA - Black Sabbath - War Pigs

It is, or at least a rip off.

KayfabeMan 09-02-2004 08:25 PM

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 09-02-2004 09:35 PM

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

Sounds like Toxicity to me (bearing in mind my TNA is 6 months out of date.)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 09-02-2004 09:56 PM

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 09-02-2004 11:55 PM

I remember a lot of WCW tunes were rip offs.

Gone Mad 09-03-2004 12:03 AM

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

That was Hogan's WWE theme.

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 09-03-2004 01:06 PM

I never said it was.

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

Apprentice 09-04-2004 07:24 PM

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 03-17-2012 01:12 PM

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 03-17-2012 11:56 PM

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.

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