Jerry Lawler is reused too. Originally it was Harley Race.

Oooh oooh, and CM Punk used to come out to “This Fire Burns”, but before that it was used one time, for one night, by Randy Orton. Orton didn’t feel it was a good fit though.

Orton was sick of his generic sounding song that just kept saying “HEY!”. Guess he was hearing those voices in his head…

And that’s how CM Punk got his first wwe theme.

HBK is known for his theme “sexy boy”, but it’s actually the second version of that song. The first version had Sherri Martell singing a shortened, but mostly the same version of the same lyrics.

I’ll probably post more of these as I remember them. I know hulk hogans real american is reused, but I can’t remember who originally had it.

Burn in My Light wasn’t so bad. I think overall I preferred it to Voices. But WWE’s version did have a several heys in it. The actual song has I want to say 5 total, but WWE’s edit had about 7 in the first minute and a half.

Orton didn’t feel it was a good fit though.

My understanding was that the company didn’t like it for him.

It should also be noted he doesn’t like Voices either.

Hell yeah, keep 'em coming! I don’t have as easy access to YouTube as I once did, so I haven’t been getting my info dumps like I like to turn on

I didn’t realize Randy had that song first. That’s funny. I knew Sherri had done a version of Sexy Boy, but was hazy on the details. Lawler’s is new to me, but I can’t even think of his music right now

Lawlers doesn’t have lyrics, so it’s hard to describe.

It’s like HUUUUUUU HUUUUUUUUUU HUUUU HU HUUU HUUUUUUUUUUU HUUUU HUUUU HUUUUU HUUU HU HU HU HU

If that were a trumpet, and sounding royal.

This is the “official” Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it’s there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It’s ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, ‘creep shot’, or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo’s wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren’t.
