For whatever reason WWE licensed some generic techno instead of having Jim Johnston whip something up. I've heard it as incidental music on HGTV before. Harlem Heat's WCW theme was the same way. You hear it on Chopped as background music from time to time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to me how many "iconic" themes are just generic stock music. Add the Dudley Boyz and Hardcore Holly's music to the list, I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. I still hear those jams on random advertisements, usually for trucks or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Add Luger's late 80s NWA/WCW music to the list. I think I heard it in Creepshow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodzillaPerez Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The Hurricane's original theme is also one. Heard it in the background of Drag Race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'm shocked that after they got over in 1999 WWE didn't tweak the production music and have it redone in house to keep it. While the original could always be used, if they made it similar but distinctly different in like 2000 it changes a lot. Even when they came back at the Orlando Mania. Figured they would have had a WWE-ized version of that song. Because letting letting a big name star walk out and show up on someone else's TV with the same name and same music sounds like something Vince would punch a hole in a wall over. But let's put this in context. How dumb was TNA? They could have licensed that music for Jeff and it would have made so much more of an impact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It's funny how much Jeff having that music improved his debut. Like, everyone was expecting it as soon as that "emergency board meeting" was announced, but the shock of hearing THAT music probably increased the pop a lot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havin Darby and Sting run in first also helped, a nice little swerve to keep the fans on their toes when it actually happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So who's next on the "...is ALL ELITE" dartboard? We got Keith Lee and Jeff Hardy last. Cesaro seems to be the next guy if TK wants anybody else. Briscoes gotta show up sometime, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Ring of Honor media liaison Marc Kruskol will be done with the company on April 10. He worked for ROH since 2016. Tony Khan wants a different staff and newer employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Windham Rotunda has started setting up convention appearances in the last few days and looks to have dropped some weight, but I honestly have no idea whether TK has (or should have) any interest whatsoever.

Casey Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If his past comments from like 2014 are still his thoughts today, he's more likely to re-sign Big Swole than Windham. He's not a fan of his in-ring stuff, if I'm remembering his tweets right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have licensed that music for Jeff and it would have made so much more of an impact. Even if he wanted to use some of his own music eventually, he was arguably coming off his hottest run when he left WWE in '09. They ought have taken as much of his super familiar presentation as possible to start (I know he was using No More Words his last couple years, but everyone still recognizes the Hardys theme and Jeff got it for a chunk of his singles run anyway). That song 100% should have been on the first Hogan/Bischoff episode of Impact. Edited March 10, 2022 by John from Cincinnati 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone say that if TK is keeping ROH as a functioning promotion, it might be better to keep the Briscoes there and not on TBS to jump start the brand. And maybe ship FTR there too to feud with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Fair play if the wrestler doesn't want to sign, but I swear if I don't read some reports that AEW didn't at least try and sign Toni Storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If the rumor mill is true, one of the requirements of WWE allowing her to walk away was with an understanding (and maybe even a written agreement) that she not work for AEW until her end date. This wasn't a WWE initiated release, it was her asking out like Ali. Could all be bullshit. But seems plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
