Swerve Strickland's AEW theme is a blatant ripoff of Astronaut in the Ocean at the beginning. I don't know if it's a specific one but after the Macho Man Pomp and Circumstance intro Jay Lethal's music is a pretty blatant rip off of Static X... not sure if it's a specific song or just in style but it is...

"Push It," Lethal's ROH theme from the 00's.

I don't know if it's a knockoff of any specific one of their songs, but Adam Cole's theme sure sounds like it came from a Rage Against the Machine tribute band. And I don't think it's even the same RATM tribute band that did Jack Swagger's WWE theme lmao. Both WWE and AEW's Samoa Joe themes have different kinds of take offs of the Godzilla theme while TNA's was just a blatant copy of it.

I mean.... Technically Adam Cole's AEW theme is a Rip off of the Undisputed Era theme...

I know I've heard both the used and unused version and might have mixed them in my mind. Wonder why the 3rd one went unused... It's not even a knockoff, that's just a poorly done cover version. Don't remember Animal using that at all but by early 2001 I was numb watching WCW...

I always took Samoa Joe's to be a rip off of Pharoah Monch "Simon Says," which does sample Godzilla.

Agreed with an earlier post that James Storm's "Sorry 'Bout Your Damn Luck" theme might've been the best TNA ripoff theme of all, basically working as a cover of "Electric Rodeo".
Another ripoff hall of fame entry: Eddy Guerrero's WCW theme being a near perfect fusion of War's "Cisco Kid" and "Low Rider".

"Push It," Lethal's ROH theme from the 00's. And while we’re on the subject, Steven Richard’s/Kronik’s theme is a shot for shot remake of Love Dump. There’s really not even any variation.

Kevin Nash's later TNA themes were ripping off "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin.
Scott Hall's TNA theme was a mashup of "Those Shoes" from The Eagles and his original Razor Ramon theme in WWE.

That is a great Evanescence song by the way.
