Derek lays the smack down on WWE Music and their lack of originality with theme songs these days. But as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so does it really matter?

Whether you say these songs are inspired homages or cheap knock offs, you’ll probably be surprised by some of the songs on this list!

What did we miss? There are plenty more examples, both from current and past wrestlers. Stay tuned for a follow up video to this one, for sure…

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
