OK, watching iMPACT! (tm) tonight, when the ever so lovely Traci Brooks made her entrance, her theme music sounded A LOT like Aerosmith's "Rag Doll" - specifically the drum intro.
Am I crazy in noticing this? If I could find her theme she used tonight, I could really confirm this.
Anyone else?

I knew I couldn't have been the only one who heard Aerosmith when Brooks was walking to the ring.

Wrestling promotions do it all the time to avoid paying full royalties. I remember A-Train's music having the exact drum beat of Mr. BrownstoneHere is TNA's full list up to this month: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Oliver

Yeah It's very common.Some wrestler's want to use songs they like but royalties need to be paid to the artists that recorded them.The Road Warriors used to come out to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" but $haron O$bourne wanted stupid amounts of money for them using that.
So Rip offs of hit songs have been used over the years.Diamond Dallas Page of course used a rip off of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".I interviewed him about it.he said his version is changed like every other beat so it was technically different than the original even though it was a blatant copy.He said he's of use dthe original if he was allowed.
Chris Jericho towards the end of his WCW run, used a rip off of Pearl Jam's "Even Flow"(which he hated but they made him use that).
ECW's "The Franchise" Shane Douglas used to come out to Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" but when he jumped to WCW, they used a rerecorded knock off of the same song.
So that's very typical.I'm sure Traci would rather use the original Aerosmith version but Aerosmith would be entitled to get paid each time she use d that song on national TV.That's the law!

I never realised how bloody huge her tits are. Indeed, they have their own gravity well, or so I'm told.
