I forget where I saw it, but there was an interview with Jim Johnston about how he went about creating themes. How the character would come to the ring played a big factor into it. Vader had a big plodding walk that you can hear in his theme. Taker is obviously very slow. Rock has an almost regal, extremely charismatic theme.
If the WWE is using cool, original themes by bands, it is just another thing TNA and everyone else has to compete with in terms of overall presentation. There is more upside for the WWE to have an original song by a small band that goes on to get big than to use generic themes.
I don't put much stock in a new guy's theme. It could be with him for a week. It could be with him for the rest of his career. Once they get the character down, the theme is the last thing to click into place. As far as guys like Knox or even Finlay, there isn't really a reason for them to change because they aren't being used.
