It's worth nothing that Dale Oliver's tendency to rip off other songs was so bad that there used to be a giant list on his Wikipedia of all the songs he'd done a knock-off of for a theme. Actually came back in here to mention this. There was a very long period of time when I couldn't watch TNA without facepalming at the ripoff themes everywhere. When Wiki nuked the list, I pulled a copy from the article history just to have it. Can you post it please?

Team 3D themselves brought out WWE, ECW, and WCW Tag title belt replicas during there feud with LAX. Walked to the ring at Lockdown 07 with them. Funny how bent of of shape they get on that but not afraid to bring up WWE facts about titles and being from there. Or using there stuff at all. Remember the whole showing the tape of 3LK, Abyss, and Shane Douglas welcoming the WWE to there grounds Showing while blurred clear as say Rey Mysterio. Showing one of the Highlanders on camera during a show where he gets fired for it and TNA of course never think to give the man a job after getting him fired. BEST of all having VKM showing WWE HEADQUARTERS on camera. They're doing most of this because they desperately want WWE to acknowledge them and fire back. Instead of being a subtle jab that might be funny, their antics are pathetic. The Cookiegate thing just made TNA look like buffoons, instead of ignoring them or maybe having someone just go up and say "Hey, welcome to the area." they film their guys acting like braying jackasses and eating WWE catering. TNA's desperate for attention, and want the WWE to give it to them, and give them free advertising. Funny how petty and insecure they are. Taking jabs at them while blatantly ripping them off. Like how I've mentioned, TNA is little more than a flea buzzing around a Giant, not knowing that if the Giant wanted to, he could swat and crush them without any effort whatsoever. Heck, the mere mention of Smackdown possibly moving to Thursdays sent TNA running with their tales in between their legs.

Who made Samuel Shaw's blatant "Night Call" ripoff theme? Since that one's actually pretty good.

Here's Shaw's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3WCzCMAOHgAnd here's Night Call by Kavinsky: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV_3Dpw-BRYGuessing they went with it since Samuel Shaw's seemingly based at least somewhat on the lead character in Drive, which used this song, though obviously he also is largely Dexter.
