I guess this can go here. I was jamming to some TAD when their 1991 song Stumblin' Man came on. Around the 0:36 mark, reminds me of the D-Generation X theme song. I wonder if Jim was a big Sub Pop guy?

DDP’s WCW theme is a pretty blatant rip-off of Smells Like Teen Spirit (although I think WCW won a lawsuit about it).
Dustin Rhodes’ AEW theme kinda sounds a little like Last Resort by Papa Roach in my opinion.
I think Stone Cold said that when they were working on a theme for him, they were loosely basing it on Bulls On Parade.
I feel like WWE doesn’t have a lot of songs that are similar to others. They are either original or just straight up a licensed song.

Ravens WCW was a rip of Come as you are by Nirvana and Jericho’s was Def inspired by Evenflow by Pearl Jam

There is a lot of them currently or in more recent years.
Johnny Gargano: Bomb Dot Com by Sleeping with Sirens
Charlotte Flair: definitely a weird pop mix of Twisted Transistor by Korn
Sasha Banks: Imma Boss by Meek Mill
Roderick Strong: End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage/A Victim, A Target by Misery Signals
Kevin Owens: Tearing Away by Drowning Pool
AJ Styles: Aint No Sunshine by DMX
I honestly think CFO$ was just making their own versions of pre-existing songs because it occurs in so many cases.

Christian Cage's TNA theme and "My Last Breath" by Evanescence. Still a great theme, and rock song too.

Whenever this comes up, the first one that immediately comes to mind for me is Razor Ramon's theme VS. "Those Shoes" by the Eagles.

I wonder if Jim was a big Sub Pop guy? I can hear it. I’ve never been convinced that they weren’t going for a straight RATM rip. Take the Power Back is almost as close to the source as I can remember of their tracks. The intro (a little longer) and all. |

Most of the new theme songs sound the same to me. I literally thought AJ’s theme was made by DMX.

Ravens WCW was a rip of Come as you are by Nirvana and Jericho’s was Def inspired by Evenflow by Pearl Jam They also had several jobber entrances that used The Zoo by the Scorpions. Rick Steiner’s solo heel act towards the end was Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses. Perry Saturn had The Beautiful People. Jarrett had Cowboy by Kid Rock. I think Russo had an Iron Man ripoff as well. Being the musician that he was, Jimmy Hart played a huge part in tweaking these songs just enough to keep WCW out of court, according to DDP. He said Dave Grohl was very upset about his Smells like Teen Spirit theme but was even more mad that he couldn’t do anything about it. |

The Unholy Alliance theme was almost identical to Stings WWE theme.

This is an interesting post, I never really realized how many ripped off or took inspiration from others. The only one I could think of was DX, that definitely had the Rage thing going but it made sense and is an iconic theme.

The nWo theme is based off a few different Hendrix riffs.
