So we are watching old WW(F)E, and they have this generic ass masked wrestler named The Patriot. He’s in a feud with Bret Hart. I was quite surprised when I heard his music. Turns out, Kurt Angle’s music is reused
Wait until you get to CHOPPY CHOPPY YO PEEPEE!!!
And then the next week, with John Bobbitt.
Then you’ll look up who John Bobbitt was…and hooboy. It certainly is a thing that happened…
I know of the actual story. They did a storyline of that?
Omg…I don’t know how you’ve never heard of it, and I don’t even want to spoil it. This is like the time I got to show my friend Hogzn vs HBK at summerslam, with them going in blind.
It almost sounds vaguely familiar, but no, I don’t recall it. I was able to show my partner the Shawn Michael’s and Hogan fight. So great to be able to show that to someone new
Brock Lesnars music is reused too. It was originally the XFL Chicago Enforcers music they used when the whole team would take to the field in home games.
This is amazing lmao. I love some good trivia
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.
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
Good ol Del Wilkes. He was around a bunch of places back then before WWF, went to Japan after and back to WWF for a bit again. Just died a few years ago iirc.
Oh, I had never heard of him when I looked to see who was under the mask. I don’t care for this character
Yeah its kind of one dimensional in fairness.
