WCW Theme Vs WWF/E Theme

[MartyMcFly]

I always liked Chris Jericho's babyface theme in WCW, shyt sounded like a Journey song

I always hated his first theme. The Pearl Jam one was better

Seriously how did WCW get away with just making covers of popular songs?

They changed it just enough that it didn't violate copyright. TV shows throughout the years are LITTERED with knockoffs. There's a whole TvTropes page for the shyt (it used to be called "Jimmy Hart Version" too. They changed it cuz it was too specific to wrasslin' tho):

Suspiciously Similar Song - TV Tropes

Basically TV shows wanna use certain license songs but executives ain't forking over the cash so they make great value versions instead. Like how The Simpsons had that Beverly Hills Cop knockoff and shyt.

I remember Austin said for his entrance music he went to Jim Johnston and told him he wanted a song like Bulls on Parade. If he was in WCW it would've literally been Bulls On Parade with a couple of notes flipped

They had the same theme, Goldberg's theme was only slightly tweaked.

Yeah the tweak is what I'm referring to. Even though it was slight it was still noticeable

I've seen that Hollywood Blondes theme sometimes called "Satan's Sister". Such a great early '90s metal instrumental track.

Never thought it fit the Blondes. Too sinister sounding. Should've saved it for someone like Vader or a heel Van Hammer.
