Has anyone else noticed that...

...Immortal's theme sounds eerily similar to nWo black and whites?

TNA are often compared to this decades WCW, but I really didn't think they'd go that far. Not to mention the fact that Mr.Anderson's theme is practically the same as it was in WWE. Do TNA not have anyone to make original theme songs?

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

It's stupid, but I would imagine that it has something to do with wanting to keep their characters as known as possible. For instance, people know Mr. Anderson as Mr. Kennedy from WWE, so he basically has the same character. People know Bischoff and Hogan for the nWo in WCW, so they try to capture that idea.

Jeff Hardy is another one who has similar music.

It's a mix between Hulk Hogan's voodoo child theme and the nWo theme. So, yes it does sound similiar to it.

Anderson's theme is also similiar to his Kennedy theme, in means of rhytm and beat.

A lot of the former WCW/WWE(F) guys' TNA themes resemble their original ones, especially Flair's. I find nothing wrong with that, and it complements WCW and WWE. They made incredibly good themes for all these guys and since TNA's production crew is pretty much nothing compared to WWE's, I figured they'd much rather emulate the original theme and have it be half-decent, than crap all over it. It might be personal preference too because Hardy and RVD's themes sound nothing like their WWE themes. Same goes for Kendrick, Pope, The EV2 guys, etc.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Of course it sounds similar — they're called Immortal, as in Hogan's Immortals. As in "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan — the man who was responsible for the New World Order! You really couldn't connect the dots on your own, man?

"The Band" had the old Wölfpac theme (or something very similar to it), Anderson has his Kennedy theme, Flair has his WCW theme, etc.

I have noticed that also...Flair deserves his own music, no matter what company he is with...but, as far as TNA's entrance music goes...a lot of them are just plain horrible....I like Samoa Joe's...the Beautiful People(for obvious reasons)...Abyss'...Kurt Angle doesnt need rap for his entrance, it just doesnt fit...my favorite though, without question, is RVD's

I noticed it too. Obviously trying to capitalize on their fame from WCW/WWE. But I think Angle wanted something completely different from his WWE theme. Probably got tired of the "You Suck" chants during his entrance. I also noticed that when Angle arrived in TNA, he went with the old Rey Mysterio style entrance coming up from under the floor.
