So, I've been meaning to make this for a while. WCW used a lot of entrance music, be it production themes or in-house, that sounded like blatant knock-offs of commercially released songs. As far as I know, there's no corner of the internet devoted to listing all of them in a row, so I thought why not make it my pet project this month to put all of them together.
If I'm missing any, PLEASE post.
Again, I'm looking for ONLY WCW themes that are knock-offs of specific songs, NOT knock-offs from other promotions or WCW themes that are knock-offs of wrestlers' themes in other promotions, unless it's an actual commercial song (like much of their ECW Alumni).
