I know there's been a thread on this before, but there tends to be many wrestling themes based on actual songs. There's Daniel Bryan's based on Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries", Jack Swagger's old theme based on Rage Against The Machine's "Testify", but there are many more, some of which I personally have discrepancies about.
Take Diesel's theme for example, the blues song. I know the main riff is based on a real song, but I have absolutely no idea what song it's based off of. Does anyone here know? Big Show's old theme is similar in the same regard.
Or Undertaker's theme, the funeral dirge. It's based off a very common funeral march song, but, like Diesel, I also have no idea where it came from. Does anyone know for either case?
Also, what other themes are based on real songs? I think Ryback's theme sounds like a Disturbed theme (and if he was considered important, maybe they would've done a cover of it). Anyways, what else? Know Diesel and 'Taker's theme origins? Go for it in the comments.

Alicia Fox's theme (assuming she still has it) is basically an instrumental of "Hot in Here" by Nelly.
Tommy Dreamer's was an instrumental of "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains.

I genuinely don't remember the last time I saw Alicia get a singles entrance. Every time she wrestles on Raw or SD she gets the jobber entrance. |

Diesel's theme is based of a commen blues riff, which was mostly popularized by the song "Hoochie Coochie Man."

If TV Tropes is to be believed, Diesels' song is based on "The Jack" by AC/DC.

Somebody said in a different thread a while back that Steve Austin's theme is based off Razor Ramon's theme, which in turn is based off a Fugees song.

One of Undertaker's themes was ET by Katy Perry.
That is not relevant to the thread so much as it is hilarious to remember.

I used to like this song. Now, every time I hear it, I just figure the Blackhawks just scored another goal. (Thanks for ruining it, Blackhawks!) |

Otunga's theme is pretty obviously based on "Power" by Kanye West.
