Popular Wrestler themes that were intended for an

[Eunös ✈]

So I'm wondering aren't I what well known themes that you most associate a wrestler with were in fact originally intended to be another Wrestlers theme instead.

Not long a go there was a thread that Bobby Roodes Glorious was in fact originally intended for Shinsuke Nakamura.

I'm having a tough time imagining Shinsuke coming out to that theme, I just associate it with Roode these days.

I also hear that Real American was never suppose to Hulk Hogans theme and that it was suppose to be a tag teams (Name escapes me now). Hogan I believe was suppose to have the theme used in his cartoon.

Of course Randy Orton used CM Punk's kills witch engage theme at one point and in 1997 The Patriot used what would become Kurt Angles theme.

So any other themes that were planned for one wrestler but used for another?.. please tell

Real American was originally for Windham & Rotundo. Hogan did use the cartoon theme very briefly.

Rumor has it that MVPs "I'm Coming" was originally supposed to be for Boogeyman

They should have not only stuck with that theme, but given him the lyrical version, just because wrestlers should have Jim Steinman songs as themes in general.

Pat Tanaka had Goldberg's theme originally

I wonder when in the development process that Nakamura's theme was retooled for someone else, like if it was already done, or if they were just considering giving him it when it was the backing track.

Countless WCW midcarders = Hollywood Blondes theme.

And I can't believe that. Derringer, you shoulda buried yourself and stayed buried!

Some site, forgot the name, reported that Bobby Roode's NXT theme was meant for Nakamura.

Someone else had Rey Mysterio's WCW theme, but I can't remember who. Hugh Morrus, maybe?

[Honeybear Lyder]

Brian Christopher in 1997 used Kama's theme from 1995.
Alex Porteau was given the Steiners' theme.
In WCW, Greg Valentine and Marty Jannetty shared one.
And of course every other Japanese wrestler in the WWF was given the Orient Express' theme.

I remember that too,but it was said Nakamur shot it down and helped with the new one.

[MolotovMocktail]

Wasn't Mike Knox's theme recycled as one of the many that Wade Barrett had over the years?

The Orient Express theme was later used for the heel women's team in the 1995 Survivor Series, and again for Takao Omori in his 1996 Royal Rumble appearance.

Arr, that was the Blonde's theme, then Blitzkreig got saddled with it

Kurt Angle's theme was originally used for The Patriot.

[Clint Bobski]

I believe Val Venus' theme was a remix/rework of Rick Martel's Model theme.

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

Marvelous Marc Mero used a piece of stock music that had previously been used in WCW when they would plug their hotline

Didn't Lex Luger also use it for a little while somewhere during 93-95?

I forget who had the Headbangers theme before they got it.
