Never said he was an idiot, never said WWE was better. The only one I was discussing was Hulk's. most are generic, I mentioned I thought the Shields theme was generic. It very hard coming up with original music. That's why I'm somewhat protective of music being "remade".
Those are covers, if you cover the song the original writer gets the writing credit and royalties from the song. Aerosmith and RUN DMC recorded together btw. All I know is the if I wrote a song from scratch, it'd piss me off to hear someone else making money off of my idea by changing a few notes.
You could look at it that way, but you could also look at the way how they make money out of doing nothing at all. They make money for someone else doing there song out of respect to them, which I'm fairly sure is the way most artists look at it, considering the fact that covers are still around today.

I'm totally with you there, but if a song is like Hogans they've changed it enough where Hendrix doesn't get a writing credit, therefore his Estate doesn't get any money. Hendrix isn't the greatest example cause he's dead, but its the principle of the matter.
I mean I agree partially and all, but you do realize that the majority of the lower carded wrestlers in the WWE don't have amazing themes too, right? For example:
Now try and explain to me how this isn't "a generic theme crafted by whatever idiotic composer they have". Oh, you can't?
Now, lets go to one of TNA's biggest baby faces:

There's many more on both sides, obviously more on TNA's side. However, I think people need to understand that the 'E is a almost billion dollar franchise, and TNA is nowhere near. Of course they won't have as big of a production value. However, the 'E still make AWFULLY GENERIC theme songs for anyone that isn't at least the upper midcard (still then, lolbarrett) and the majority of TNA's upper midcard and Main Event have amazing themes (Styles, Rooooooode, Angle, pretty much everyone but Aries).
How bout you wait for me to reply before you say "Oh, you can't" ity1:
Tyson Kidd right now is a jobber and lets be honest he could be released at any minute, so why would WWE invest their time in money on producing a theme for a person they're not committed to.
Quite honestly that James Storm theme isn't saying much IMO and even if that is a good theme in mosts opinion that still doesn't account for the large majority of the TNA roster that has crappy themes.
Sure WWE is far ahead in money, but how much does it really take to get decent themes. Maybe if they stop spending money on contracting ancient fossils they would find a surplus that would cover the cost of that among other things.

Hogan is a huge Hendrix fan so when they came up with his Hollywood theme and the nWo theme he made sure he had input. With Turners money behind them, paying royalties was no issue, same when nWo went to WWE, Vince has deep pockets. Every time Punks theme plays on TV they have to pay a small royalty to the group.
The original song is Rockhouse, I'm sure Frank Shelley(the guy who performed the song) may have mentioned Hendrix since Hulk Hogan also did use Voodoo Child for his theme song, the one in TNA is just a remake. Rockhouse was Frank's song though, it was inspired by Voodoo Child, but wasn't a complete knockoff nor did it sound to much like it, just every here and there it did.

It consists of a band ironically known as Rise Against the Machine singing about blowjobs to a song with two different riffs. Such innovation!
And remember, this man was the World Heavyweight Champion when he had this. So I don't think that'd be considered jobber tier.
Also IIRC, the majority of the ancient fossils are gone, with the only one really left is Hogan who is a General Manager. Everyone else can still go as well as the younger guys on the card, if not better in some cases (Bully, Angle, Chavo, Hardy, etc).
(ps james storms theme doesn't suck u suck get reked cunt lol u got owned 1v1 me fag0t)

HAHA I guess I should've watched that video. Could've sworn it was a modified voodoo chile from his WCW days. My bad lol. I worked till 6 today, guess my brain is tired. I stand by my thoughts on "remakes" though, switch it from Hendrix to Shelley :dawg:

I think you mean Rage Against the Machine and if you knew more about the artist you'd know they're top notch. I bet they weren't even trying with Swagger's song and it's already better than most of the stuff in TNA and he's a mid carder.
Even if he had the WHC he was still relatively new and for new guy to get a song by an established artist is something to account for.
The fossil argument is something we should save for another thread, we'll get off topic.
