I would love to hear the Bigelow's 87-88 or Demolition first theme (sounds like the second theme without lyrics) but those seem impossible. For some reason Bigelow's is often misinterpreted for the 1987 Coliseum Video introduction.
It's great this one was found.

Wow, incredible find.
Now, if only that Bigelow theme and Eddie's "Gangsta Lean/Lane" would emerge.

Wasn't Bigelow's theme similar or the same as the opening for the "studio audience era" of prime time wrestling in 1991?

Oh yeah, Bam Bam's was the same theme that Bobby Heenan and Vince McMahon were introduced to, I believe with Lord Alfred Hayes speaking. It was amazing to get some tapes of 1991 WWF shows and hear them coming out to it.

The other themes from the same tape as Honky Tonk Man 1st have been released too (Islanders, Dirty Dick Slater etc)

The rarest theme is the instrumental version of the strike force theme (without commentary).

Off the top of my head, as far as rare WWF themes go...
-Mabel's from the 1999 Royal Rumble
-Lance Cassidy
-Dan Severn's first
-Taker/Show from 1999

I've got something called Bam Bam Bigelow's 1st theme on my itunes. I used to collect a lot of themes a few years back and scoured the internet for everything I could get. It's only 43 seconds but I'm not certain which Coliseum Video intro it gets confused with. If it's the one used in the video below then it's definitely not that. Will see if I can get it uploaded and link it here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vj7fqP5Yrc |

What about Michaels first theme after the Rockers broke up...it wasn't an incarnation of the "boy toy" song...just some harp music

The Coliseum Video theme noted as Bam Bam's wasn't the original Roman Gods type one but the one used around late 1987, early 1988 (before they went with Mean Gene's "World is Watching..."
The 1987 one featured a revolving cube playing videos of only a few matches. I believe it was Harts versus Bees, Macho versus Tito and Can Ams versus Muraco and Orton for Wrestlemania III.

Good thing HTM became cool, cocky, and bad! Anyone remember Mr. Perfect use this theme? Because it's listed as his first theme song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GOZ0solFL0 Tarantino should've used it for Django Unchained |

My rare list would be: - Colonel Mustafa (he did had his own, as well as Slaughter's heel theme when they teamed) - Jean Pierre Lafitte - Brawl for All (NOT the one released on WWE Anthology that was subsequently turned into Big Zeke's) - the Islanders - a clear version of Public Enemy's WWE '99 theme |
