Guest Incandenza Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Watching Spring Stampede '99, you have Raven using a "Come As You Are" knock-off, and DDP using an ersatz "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as their respective entrance themes. I guess I can see where it was appropriate for Raven's character, but DDP? What, were they trying to get him over "with the kids"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted June 26, 2002 they also had a bastardized iron man, so wcw was just showing their overall badness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted June 26, 2002 The use of "Teen Spirit" for DDP is especially absurd, because Page was like in his early 40's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anubis Puppet Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Jericho's old theme was an "Even Flow" rip off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted June 26, 2002 and Raven's DDT was called the EvenFlow, hows that for ANOTHER grunge reference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Teen Spirit was a kickass song though. They used a fake "Rollin'" for Reno and they had a fake Party Up for "Elix Skipper." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted June 26, 2002 And don't forget the numorous bastardizations of The Scorpions classic "The Zoo," used primarily by Hugh Morrus while in The First Family with Brian Knobbs and Jimmy Hart, and then after the MIA split. Heh...the Misfits In Action...I think I was their only fan...that theme song ruled..."MISFITS!!!! IN ACTION!!!!" Hmm, what other knock-off's are there... Rick Steiner's was a rip-off of "Welcome To The Jungle," Lance Storm's pre-Team Canada was a rip-off of White Zombie's "El Phantasmo And The Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama (Wine, Blood, And Women Remix)" (the theme he used in ECW), and Jason Jett's was a rip-of of The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" I believe.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted June 26, 2002 For a company not unwilling to spend millions of dollars on unworthy talent, they were too damn cheap to get the rights to all those original songs. What dumbasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Don't forget Saturn's ripoff of "Beautiful People" Also Shane Douglas's rip of "Perfect Strangers" another one, Jeff Jarrett's "Cowboy" ripoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted June 26, 2002 I considered Jarrett's theme as more of a "Cowboy" remix, actually, since it's obvious they took the first 17-18 seconds of the song and put in a drum beat. And funny, inca, that you mentioned Stampede '99, as I just had the urge to watch that Sunday afternoon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted June 26, 2002 And funny, inca, that you mentioned Stampede '99, as I just had the urge to watch that Sunday afternoon... And then, in addition to a handful of good matches, you can relive the well-deserved "BORING!" chant during the Whipwreck-Riggs snoozer, the hilarious "STEROIDS!" chant during the Scott Steiner-Booker T match, and that one guy clearly heard yelling "Retire Hogan!" repeatedly as the Orange Goblin limps off with his "knee injury" during the main event.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted June 26, 2002 I just watched Spring Stampede- was Hogan's injury legit? I read somewhere (can't remember where, exactly) that it was Hogan's way of getting out of a match he wasn't going to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Whipwreck-Riggs snoozer? That was ALL Scotty, Mikey couldn't even carry him to a watchable match. With the music they were trying to get "hip" with the "kids"...which is the same reason they did rap vs country, which didn't make sense since they were based in the south and had a strong redneck following.

Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted June 26, 2002 Heh...the Misfits In Action...I think I was their only fan...that theme song ruled..."MISFITS!!!! IN ACTION!!!!" Eh, no you weren't. I think Hugh Morrus is an under-rated worker, and the angle at least got him over, along with giving Chavo (Loco) and Lash (Cajun) something to do. Van Hammer (Stash) and The Wall (A-Wall)... Well, they sucked, but a place was still found for them. So, say what you will about Russo, but at least he did this much. Back on topic, KroniK used "Love Dump" by Static-X, which is what Steven Richards uses now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted June 26, 2002 it's racial discrimination to have a black guy and a white guy wrestle in a ring together? does the wwe know this? and when curt was in wcw it was the hennin-plex by the way, which is the move he would have put on master p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest papacita Report post Posted June 30, 2002 I boycotted the last 3 years of WCW, but I woulda paid out at least $30 to see Master P get his dumb ass kicked. I never could stand him. Anyway, I don't listen to much rock, so most of those songs just go over my head, but DDP's and Raven's sounded pretty cool to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
