I can see Tazz's. It has the same DA-nun, DA-nun, DA-nun, DUN DUN repeated a few times times before the bridge. I don't hear Tomko's, though.

The most blatant re-use is RVD's just being the Acolytes (pre-APA) only faster

No, it played uninterrupted. Only had to watch the ads WWE were showing you during the show!

This may or may not be correct.

Cesaro's best theme by a mile was a rework of Dean Malenko's.

2011 was a fun Rumble, where they just had Punk come in early and then The Nexus threw everyone out one at a time to protect him. This worked until Cena entered, of course.

He actually used Malenko's theme in FCW, so it was a straight up re-use originally.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I was going to post "I'm sad the Nexus didn't work out, that was a cool group" and then I realized that Bad News Barrett, Ryback, Daniel Bryan, and Bray Wyatt is a pretty good track record all things considered.

Its a testament to Bray's work that I completely forgot that he was Husky Harris. He shook that off rather well.

To be fair, Bray and Ryback had complete character overhauls after Nexus, and to an extent Barrett as well.

Other than being instrumental and using repetitive guitar riffs, none of those songs sound anything like one another.

they're arranged differently but the main riffs are very, very similar. definitely not exactly the same though.

It's not that kind of test.
For a couple days after the Ascension debuted on Raw their theme literally overwrote Seth Rollins' in my memory. Despite having heard it hundreds of times, I couldn't recall what his sounded like until I looked it up on YouTube. Wait, it's actually happening again right now! I'm not even sure they sound that similar, they're just very alike in style and structure. Or Seth's is just that forgettable.

The drum breakdown in the Ascension's theme is really, really close to the drum intro of Seth's.

Rewatching the 2011 Rumble just ruined Bray a bit more for me. The gently caress is up with the wings on his back.
