Craig H Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Speaking of themes, Benoit's Our Lady Peace theme is one of my all time favs. That may be due to me loving the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I don't do the Shield entrance or the Razor strut, but last year when I had to renew my license, I installed a trap door and some flame rigging so that I could enter like Gangrel. The DMV ladies were unimpressed as per usual. Sigh. Amateur hour. I do the Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 12 entrance everyday at work. What a ride!!!!!! Tell me you go, "Weeeee!"

Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Oh man, finding stock WCW music in the wild is one of the most satisfying things ever for a late '90s fan. This Kids in the Hall clip is probably one of my favorite instances: They play the Lex Luger theme from a few pages back quite frequently during highlight packages on ESPN, too, which is always a real treat. I was an NWO kid, but I always loved that entrance. I remember when he beat Hogan for the belt on Nitro, I was so fucking pissed off, but part of me still enjoyed hearing that song and watching The Giant clean the spray paint off the big gold belt. Not as much as I enjoyed watching Hulk flip a table and hearing Macho scream "IT WAS A FLUKE, BROTHER!!" however. I can't find it right now, but has anyone ever heard the version of the 1st Chris Jericho theme that has lyrics? We used it in some of my TV production classes in college. I can't remember any of the lyrics except for "THESE ARE THE DAYYYYS OF MY LIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE" I can't remember which stock music library it's from but I'd love to hear it. That theme always reminds me of staying up to watch Worldwide at like 2 AM on local TV. I remember raging the fuck out when it was pre-empted for coverage of the Princess Diana car accident/death. EDIT: Holy shit balls, I found it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafkonia Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Didn't WCW use a lot of public domain and cheap stock production music? A lot of it was production music and Jimmy Hart tracks that had been liberally "influenced" by others. The Benoit theme is similar to a Machines of Loving Grace song, Booker T's was essentially a funkified version of a Kraftwerk song, Saturn ripped off "The Beautiful People", DDP's was "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Raven was "Come As You Are", Chris Jericho was "Even Flow", and so on. Of course, WWE's not exempt from this, either. I know that Too Cool's theme has turned up lots of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Paul Orndorff's late 95 theme was a good one too: In typical WCW fashion, they removed the lyrics and recycled it for The Maestro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I love how the vocal version of Jericho's first WCW theme almost sounds like it could be Jericho singing. Also, if you speed up the pace and thrown in a couple guitar solos, it could be a Dragonforce song. On the topic of doing wrestler mannerisms in the wild, there was a year-long period where when I was drunk (at least six drinks in) and people would ask me how I was doing, I would throw my arms in the air like Owen Hart at the Slammys and shout "Wooooooo!" And during college, I regularly did the La Parka dance while out at bars and clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Also I think Sky Blue Sam (sorry if I'm wrong!) has the best story about pro wres in the real world in a nightclub in London. I won't steal his thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Also I think Sky Blue Sam (sorry if I'm wrong!) has the best story about pro wres in the real world in a nightclub in London. I won't steal his thunderBless you kind sir, though I fear the story doesn't live up to the hype...Basically, the weekend before Christmas, I was DJing with a friend an all-day music festival that another friend of mine was running in London. Because no-one was really dancing in between the bands, my friend and I were saving the obvious dance floor songs until the evening when everybody would dance, so just entertained ourselves with stuff we wanted to hear during the day. Anyway, after one band, I decided to throw a wrestling theme out there. My friend was slightly embarrassed by the idea, but I pointed out that, as I was wearing a "Defend Indy Wrestling" t-shirt, anyone who did recognise it would blame me, not him. I'm not going to lie and claim the song caused some dance floor mania, but it got the best reaction of any song we played during the day portion of the show, and a pocket of people dancing. There was a load of head nodding, arm-swaying and a man running excitedly up to us screaming "Is this fucking Mark Henry's theme!?!" As a thank you for indulging me in this story, please enjoy my favourite Jimmy Hart WCW ripoff...Brian Knobb's "My Sharona" http://youtu.be/gkl7thKXweg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino_Not_Deuce Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I once heard Crash Holly's theme around the beginning of a porn movie once. Makes sense, it WAS the music of the greatest WWF Hardcore Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Whenever I'm wearing a jacket, I channel Ric Flair when taking it off by throwing it on the ground and dropping an elbow. My suit jacket fell off the back of my chair once and I was alone in my apartment. So I did what any sensible bachelor would do and walked over and elbow dropped it B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
