The theme I grew up hearing for rick rude started with a drum and is heavy on saxophone. Now every time I watch an old rick rude match or appearance there is a song sounding more like the stripper theme you associate with women back in the day. Is the theme being edited over for some reason?

so they don't have to pay rolalties It's their song that Jim Johnston wrote for WWE. According to Johnston himself, he only gets about 3% of the money when a WWE album of his music goes on iTunes or Spotify while WWE gets more than 70%. |

Last I checked the Raw 11/24/97 episode still has the theme for Wipplemen.

It was changed since they think it sounds too close to "The Stripper" by David Ross. If you ask me, they should just dub in Simply Ravishing instead.

We're getting screwed, he's living in hog heaven on his 3%! |

Nothing to do with that. They've stopped using it because they seem to think it's too close to "The Stripper" by David Rose and don't want it to become an issue. Rude's theme was written by Jim Johnston and is registered to WWE's music publishing division, so they don't have to ask permission to use it. |

Am I the only one who prefers the Black Cat ripoff to Simply Ravishing, WCW-wise?
