This is the shit right here:

He likes to beat people up, and he likes to have fun.

are you talkin about Barry Windham?

 

I'm pissed to this day. My aunt claims she ordered me this for my bday from WCW Magazine.  20+ yrs later no tape and no magazine.  Same Aunt's father in law used to make clocks (i think it was a mob front) He'd say he can make me a clock of anything. I gave him a Pillman poster to do a Flyin Brian clock.   Never got the clock or poster, just a herkimer diamond.    I'l be seeing my aunt this weekend and she's got some explaining to do.

Sting's late 80's/early 90s theme bizarrely can be heard in "Rita, Sue and Bob Too", a British film from 1987.

I'm assuming WCW just used a shit ton of generic music library stuff.  You can hear Lex Luger's late 80s/early 90s theme on the Creepshow 2 segment, "The Raft."

Any of my UK brethren over a certain age probably remember Television X and the 10 minute preview... so hearing the Hardy Boyz music used for a porno advert one time definitely messed with my head

I recently learned about the Clash of Champions opening riff being used for some video game in the 2000s. YouTube was still burning up with comments from angry fans who want it on a Clash DVD set. The Clashes used the main melody as the theme and it was perfect. Gave me goosebumps when I heard it years later. Perfect music for a rasslin show. 
 

So anyway in the meantime people were obsessed with all these themes for years and it turns out they were somewhere in perfect quality for pennies while we were ripping them from VHSs lol!

Also, per Wiki: 

Quote

The song's instrumental bridge was the original opening theme song of The Jerry Lawler Show, which debuted in 1983 on WMC-TV in Memphis, Tennessee.

Also, WRAL-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina (which was the taping home for Jim Crockett's Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling at one time and was the broadcaster for Crockett wrestling) used it for their Action Sports Saturday broadcasts during the mid-1980s.[3]

During and shortly after college, a few of my friends were fans of Ricki Lake's talk show (the original, not the short-lived revival from a few years back). Zero interest in the show, but I did get a kick that the series would use Dean Malenko's WCW entrance music to occasionally welcome villains to the audience.

Villains?

How could you use music that someone used in their wedding match for heels? ?

Random thing I remember no one else does: This. This ruled.

 

That. Was. Awesome. 
 
That was some of the last good Saturday night wrestling we ever saw. Good main event, good for TV but nothing wasted that should have been on ppv or whatever. Had a TV sized storyline to it and everything. Then they found a way to use the match to promote the ppv without sacrificing the match (something they were bad about doing later on).

That was WW3 Sting came back right? I’d say that show delivered.

I don’t claim to remember this but I think I remember this music from somewhere. Any info on it would be appreciated. Literally any...name, production company, where else you heard it etc as I think this might be from another weekly wrestling show that I used to watch but can’t figure out the name of. It’s been 1 of the things I’ve been trying to figure out the most since growing up and trying to piece together these good memories.

I didn’t remember this but I just discovered it. What history! Because it’s Scott vs Muta in WCW right...yeah but going deeper than that. When did you ever see the Steiners as faces get their tails totally beat clean on free TV lol! This had to be the only time this ever happened!
