Theme song realization

[celtics543]

I was just sitting here in my dorm room and I thought of something that makes me feel pretty old.

How many people that watch wrestling now, do you think have any idea why Vince McMahon's theme song is "No Chance in Hell"?

This song was from like late 1998 or early 1999, and was based off of the 1999 rumble. This was the middle of the attitude era, and since then the fan base has changed considerably.

Then I decided to expand this to other people and thought about Shawn Michaels: "Sexy Boy". If you started watching since his comeback, you'd have no idea. At this point he's just a religious guy who wrestles a good match.

I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting, but I just thought that it was so weird that some of this theme music is so old that most fans probably don't have any idea why a certain wrestler uses it.

Wasn't just based off the 99 Rumble, it was the 99 Rumble theme originally.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

People might wonder why Teddy Long's theme song says "You're dealing with the Mack Militant"... assuming they don't know how that was originally Rodney Mack's song and Teddy was his manager.

I like the fact that Shawn still uses the sexy boy theme. And I also like that even Vince uses the same song. Thats a great theme for him.

No Chance is awesome, intense buildup, but...
Before it says No chance, Vince should say "Your Fired!"

I bet barely anyone remembers who the Patriot was, nevermind the fact that Kurt Angle recycled his music.

I remember when Sherri sang sexy boy. sounded less gay with a women singing it.

Agreed.

Dont forget shane's "here comes the money" theme. Heck, how many newbie fans in 2000 knew that linda mcmahon's music was the wrestlemania theme from 94-96, and before that, was on the wrestlemania album with lyrics?

Here are some tidbits of some recycling that I can recall:
-Jim Duggan's music is a reworked version of Big John Studd's.
-Val Venis's theme is a rework of part of "The Model" Rick Martel's theme.
-Steve Austin's theme is similar in structure to Razor Ramon's.

I believe that Sgt. Slaughter also used that theme at least a few times. If I remember he came out to it during his match againt Triple H at I think IYH:DX.

i agree and i think that changing themes is overdone. wrestlers should stick with their themes, but triple h has had a lot of good ones though.

Scary Sherri could make anyone less gay... or completely gay

Teddy Long's current song, apart from being Rodney Mack's old one is also Wrestlemania 2000's song 'California' with lyrics put on.

Hardcore Holly had a theme around the end of the "WWF" days that I swear sounds like a neutered version of Stone Cold's. Not sure if he still uses it, cause to be honest I don't know what his current theme sounds like.
