7 great wrestling themes ripped off from real songs

There has been a great deal of amazing original theme songs written for wrestlers over the years, as well as licensed music that bigger companies paid for and smaller independent companies use because they're too low-profile to be sued for it.

Then there are other cases, which see those in charge of the music lift quite a bit of the sound of a popular song and stick it onto a wrestler.

It's actually resulted in a lot of very good entrance themes, and some of the best are included here.

#7 Perry Saturn - What Are You Looking At? (Marilyn Manson’s The Beautiful People)

Perry Saturn is a massively underrated wrestler. His time in ECW as one half of The Eliminators tag team with John Kronus was very successful for both men, and he was soon picked up by WCW. After some time as a flunky in Raven’s Flock, he broke free and became a singles wrestler, but didn’t really do much of importance.

Most people who were casual fans of WCW in early 1999 may remember when Saturn wore dresses and corsets and make-up to the ring. He lost a match to Chris Jericho and was forced to wear this clothing, but ended up embracing it in a short-lived gimmick that turned out to be much better than it had any right to be.

When he started wearing dresses, he also started using a new theme song, which was almost an exact rip of Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People”. This was a trend for WCW, but just like in this case, it usually worked. This theme song was awesome and worked extremely well with the bizarre character.
