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.

Originally posted by GrimisI remember ESPN using Jericho's WCW face music specifically, and I also think a version of the Hardy Boyz music as well.
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.
I remember seeing Booker T's music on an episode of Kids In The Hall once, and Crash Holly's music was in the recent Beavis & Butthead DVD commercials.
When I'm traveling between CT and NJ on Friday evenings, I pick up some college radio station where some kid loves playing WWF: The Music Volume 4 while he talks between songs. My favorite time was flipping around and catching him come back from break with the Undertaker's ministry theme. And the first time I heard him doing it, when he had Jericho's theme in the background, and he talked so long, it ended and went into Big Show's theme, which is what tipped me off to his act.
I apologize for being a Buffy/Angel mark.

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!?

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?"
A couple of years back, on Global TV up here in Canada, they did a preview of one of the NHL Leafs-Senators playoffs series...to Mick Foley's car crash music of all things!
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.
My cousin, who used to pitch in the minors for the Mobile Bay Bears and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes used Stone Cold's entrance music with the glass crashing when he would come out of the bullpen to close out a game. He even used at his wedding reception when they introduced the wedding party.
Why do people try to Irish Whip the Big Show? Don't they know it never works?
