So, going through my wrestling theme collection recently, I was reminded of just how many themes were blatant rip-offs of popular songs. My question now is, what are some of your favorite knock-offs?
DDP: His WCW theme couldn't possibly have been more of a "Smells Like Teen Spirit" rip. Til it hit that weird 80's power ballad part, anyway. And speaking of Nirvana.....
Raven: HIS WCW theme was easily a watered down "Come As You Are." But I still loved it.
One that seems to go unnoticed is Undertakers Ministry theme. I maintain to this day that once it kicks in, it sounds very much like the first guitar/string synth breakdown in Faith Mo Mores "The Real Thing." This one's a bit more questionable, but to me, the resemblance is uncanny.
Any more?

Chris Jericho's WCW theme that was a rip of Pearl Jam's "Evenflow" was sweet.

Buzzkill's theme in WCW was a rip on the New Age Outlaw's theme.  |

Chris Jericho's WCW theme was a ripoff of "Evenflow" by Pearl Jam.
Seems they had a thing for grunge.

Chris Jericho's "Evenflow" ripoff and Raven's "Come as you Are" ripoff from WCW both kicked infinite amounts of ass.

I might as well mention Chris Jericho with his Evenflow knockoff, since it seems that nobody can pay attention to such a simple thread.  |

Little Guido's WWE theme was the riff from the Beasty Boys "No Sleep til Brooklyn".

Christian Cage's TNA music is a ripoff of his last WWE one by Waterproof Blonde(s). Actually, it's not. It's a cheap instrumental of Evanescence's "My Last Breath". |

Also, I'm not sure if anybody's mentioned it yet or not, but Jericho's WCW theme was a huge rip-off of Pearl Jam's "Evenflow". How could you guys forget that? |

I vote for Chris Jerichos.... wait no.... it wasn't Jericho's.... it was Vince Russo's WCW theme and it sounded like Iron Man. Awesome theme song!

Now I want to hear it. Chris Jericho had a really cool theme in WCW, too. It was an instrumental of a Pearl Jam song... Alive? Jeremy? One of those. Speaking of Chris, Chris Benoit had that goofy stock music in WCW's dying days. Anyone remember that? |

Kevin Nash makes an entrance, and Russo makes an entrance right after that. www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/wcw%2Bwwf/video/xw4oc_wcw-kevin-nash-vs-new-blood-gauntle |

Jericho's first WCW theme (not the already mentioned Evenflow one) was also pure cheese |
