Line 7:
** Even more baffling than writing covers of songs they already owned, was WCW rewriting songs that were already in the public domain! [[Randy Savage]] had previously used "Pomp & Circumstances" in WWF, but it was given a rock makeover in WCW.
*** WWF did this in the early 90s when they gave [[Ric Flair]] a JHV of "Also Sprach Zarathustra".
* Recent example: World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger's entrance theme bears an extremely strong resemblance to the [[Rage Against the Machine]] song "Testify"; in fact, the band that performs the song is a RATM tribute band called [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Age Against The Machine]].
** Degeneration-X's theme is a lyrical JHV of "Killing in the Name". The lyrics both speak of rebellion. Compare the DX theme's "We just got tired of doing what we're told what to do" to these words of RATM's song, "And now you do what they told ya," and "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!"
** [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]]'s theme is actually a JHV of another JHV. His theme is based off of [[Scott Hall|Razor Ramon]]'s theme, which in turn is suspiciously similar to [[The Eagles]]' "Dem Shoes."
