I said it once, I'll say it again... all current wrestling themes and most ever, all suck. Especially TNA's music... The guy just writes songs based off of riffs, melodies, and structures of other pop songs... He squeaks by being a plagiarist... unless TNA pays royalties to all these different companies/entities that own all these different songs on which he bases ALL of his songs.

Based on that list, I assume Dale Oliver is a big Tool fan.

[Malcolm Tucker for PM]

Agreed, and the worst thing is that their previous theme was much better.

I also hate the new(er) versions of Styles and Angle's themes as well. Angles music was awesome until they added the rap which completely doesn't suit his character at all.

Saying that, I love Samoa Joe's re-mixed theme.

A friend of mine who is a fan of theirs thinks they purposely gave them shitty music as more punishment for refusing to blade.

I'm inclined to agree given now even when they technically win a match they aren't anywhere to be seen.

And I may have been missing the point, but was there any relevance to the year 1967 that connected it to the MCMGs?

Fixed for truth. His ripoffs suck. They sound like flipping MIDI tunes.

Besides that 1977 was a damn good punk rockish song by a band from the Detroit area.

Maybe he was big into using MIDI tunes on his RP boards back in the day.

Pretty much. Other examples of Dale Oliver's inability to not even avoid ripping off the name of the song or even the name of the artist include:

"Iron Clad" (Iron Man)
"USA Made" (Born in the USA)
"2003 Space Astrology" (Also Spach Zarathustra a.k.a. the theme song to both 2001 A Space Oddessy and Ric Flair)
"Spirit" (Smells like Teen Spirit)
"I'm Hott" (So Hott)
"Offspring" (Come out and Play)
"Manson" (Disposable Teens)
"Born and Raised" (Born in the USA. Yes, that's right, Dale Oliver ripped off the same song TWICE)
"Smack" (Bad Religion (by Godsmack))
"Deep" (Perfect Strangers)

Not really a slam against TNA, hell I don't really mind badly-inspired instrumental rip-offs most of the time, but damn man at least try to pretend that you're being discreet about it.

I still shake my head every time I see that Scott Hall's theme was based on "Sober."

[spinachchin]

I liked their old music....why do they change things like this?

[sxeskank]

You know what has alway irked me? James Storm's music is a rip-off of Electric Rodeo by Shooter Jennings. I mean, it goes to a whole new level when you rip off obscure artists. Everyone knows who Manson and Godsmack are, but Shooter?

I also wish Angle would just use Lunatic Fringe instead of his weak version of it. It would just bring him one step closer to being the pro version of Mathew Modine in Vision Quest.

You mean they're not?

[huvitud123]

I hate their theme but hey they are still an amazing Tag Team.

[Red Lion]

I used to immensely love their old theme, listening to the new one only makes me cry.

[Deleted]

I think the bigger issue here is that MCMG have become RockNRave-esque in their style of jobbery.

[Jim Stansel]

Does anyone know a website where i can hear these craptastic tna themes? I know most are rip offs so i wanna see how they stack up against the originals

[zombrad]

I loved Raven's rip-off of his WCW theme (which was a rip-off of Come as you are). It suited his character well.

I wish TNA's theme music wasn't so generic sounding.......I also wish WWE had less post-grunge/nu-metal theme music too.....but that's a different story.

[renzino]

Angelina Love's theme is more hardcore than the MCMGs current theme.
