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. |

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

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. |

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.

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.

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"
