| #1 Posted on 6.3.03 1331.29 Reposted on: 6.3.10 1334.13 | Did anybody else catch this this morning on Good Morning America? They end their opening montage, come out to Charles (the Disney brass forbid you to call him "Charlie") Gibson in shirt, tie and forest camoflague Gortex jacket, standing in front of a bunch of U.S. troops (in desert camo) at a Kuwaiti base.
The music under all of this: Regal/Storm's entrance music! Sadly, none of the troops were sneering, carring world tag team championship belts, or the Canadian/British flags. Go figure.
One of the coolest wrestling/TV news cross-music moments since I heard some generic stuff our promotions dept. has in a Jesse Ventura vignette prior to SummerSlam 1999. Promote this thread! | | fuelinjected

Yeah, ESPN used the Jericho theme for Baseball Tonight at one point. The Hardys theme is all over the place, Trimark DVD uses it for their promos for upcoming releases (or at least they used to). Anyone can use that stuff if they pay a fee. | Super Shane Spear

Sounds like me when I'm hosting karaoke. My indy fed friends, and certain other people who rate highly with yours truly, get entrance music played off the WWE Anthology set when they come up to the stage.
Sadly, they always get mad at me when I play them Hurricane's theme. Whassupwidat!? | drjayphd

Heh... back when I was on our station, I used some entrance themes as music beds. Especially Gangrel's theme (which you have to admit is just so PERFECT). Then, whilst running for production head, I made a promo for my show using the Rock's theme. It wasn't worth the effort, though, to get Dwayne to ask "Do you smell what the *d*ock is cooking?" | thefraserman

I've also been to a couple minor league baseball games where they played Steve Austin's and Undertaker's themes (both from WWF The Music: Vol. 3) just before the opening pitch. Odd. | commie_050

I suddenly don't feel so bad knowing I'm not the only person who's had that idea. Still, I don't think I'll get my girlfriend to go for it...
And does anyone remember hearing Steve Blackman's theme used to promote a (Lennox Lewis?) fight some time ago?
