'E cutting close to copyright infringement?

Listen to the music during the flashback to the end of Raw last week: did the chord progression in that guitar riff not remind anyone of "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project? 'Cuz I'm old enough to remember how it went and it sounded like an edged-up version of it.

Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa?

It's production music, it's fine.

The biggest issue here - they have something that close to Sirius available, and they're trotting Ricky Steamboat out to a generic "Kung Fu movie" theme?

Because racism.

I always thought it'd be badass if they had Punk come out to that in Chicago once for a title defense, since that's the traditional Chicago Bulls entrance music, and do it like an NBA introduction too.

They could even get the Bulls' PA announcer to do the intro for Punk.

Thing is, though, that it has significance as Ricky Steamboat's original entrance music while in WWE. Due to later copyright issues, you very rarely see an actual Steamboat entrance on YouTube - all his match videos seem to start with him already in the ring.
