I'm pretty sure Flash's main theme (I think he had a different one briefly for his debut) is basically a ripoff of Rick James "punk funk" and the Mary Jane Girls based on the female vocals and the style of the bass line. Although, I would argue the female vocals sound more...em....Teena Marie-ish than Joanne McDuffie to say the least. P-Funk stuff (especially the Bootsy era On the One stuff from the mid 70s glory days) was way more eccentric lyrically and complex musically. Flash Funk's whole style and look is basically 1981 Street Songs Rick James. Look at the boots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 a lot of this musical similarity can be attributed to one guy -- Jim Johnston -- writing most of them. Of course he's going to sound like himself from time to time. Not to mention his work is being commissioned by the same audience (i.e. Vince) all those years. also, this one always seemed the most obvious to me, so I'm a bit surprised it wasn't the first similarity mentioned here, but The Rockers' theme is Warrior's theme with 1/8th notes instead of 1/4 notes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I didn't see it - did the AEW women blade? If so, ,isn't it excusable as "good for the goose, good for the gander?" If AEW's gonna have the men bleed, then it only seems fitting to have both bleed. Now if you disapprove of it across the board, then it's easy to take the high moral ground. But it's just a different style - WWE doesn't have blood, AEW does. Edited January 16, 2022 by jstout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the thing is that Vince doesn't have a moral high ground given how he had no problem with "self mutilation" when he feels like making it part of his own company's stories and matches historically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Without having time to do the legwork, do we know when the last time a wwf/wwe woman did a blade job in a match? I'd presume most blood in recent times has been hardway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the one Batista got in a lot of trouble for, during his cage match vs Jericho. Also, Vince was busted open from an Owens headbutt a few years back, but that seemed like he bladed beforehand. As for the women; didn't Lita blade in a match once? Edited January 16, 2022 by PetrolCB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Brood "bloodbath" Edge did Miz and Maryse avoided using the color red. Want to say all the blood we have seen the last decade or so is hard way or straight up fake. It took them years to even just leave hard way alone as they were usually trying to get people taped up and covered before they let matches continue.

piranesi Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) describing a common practice in wrestling forever like blading as “The self-mutilation that bloodied several women in the December 31 event on TNT.” This is the kind of bullshit lawyer speak where Ted Cruz would describe student loan forgiveness as “the sinister plan by leftists to dis-empower several American businesses that promote educational funding.” As small a thing as it is, this kind of abuse of language to foster concern trolling just to score a few points somehow really pisses me off. The arrogance of thinking we are so much stupider than them that they can just just push our outrage button with the most childish nonsense, coupled with the craven willingness to pretend they themselves believe this when we all know they know better signals crossing a line from “kind of corrupt corporate type” to “utterly soulless ghoul without a glimmer of humanity left in their eyes.” goddamn I hate this company and genuinely hope it dies.

keith_h Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Self mutilation lol… Vince has cut some of the goriest blade jobs in WWE history.

Shartnado Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I'm guessing it's the SELF- part, not the mutilation part they object to. Saudi Arabia isn't all that big on SELF-mutilation. Standard mutilation, however... Also: Hey Vince! You were going to call Mick Foley WHAT exactly, back in '96?

Johnny Sorrow Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Putting aside the WWE comments about bloody women. Blading IS fucking stupid and weird as fuck. I love it, I'm weird as fuck too. I don't care if people slice their fucking bodies with fucking razor blades cause it looks awesome and bloody wrestling is great. But it's just as fucked up as Lesner shoot splitting open Orton like Terry Funk did with eyebrow punches. Also fucked up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
