I stand by my previous claim of Mr. Wonderful having the GOAT WCW theme, but the Midnight Express have to be in the Top 5...

The theme he does use is a poor fit for him. Wait the 90s instant replay music?
Not going to lie, I dug that more than the Stone Temple Piolets knock off he ended his run on. True, it's not IV Horseman theme, but what song is? Don't even think about trying to put Mr. Wonderful's theme side by side!
I like how WCW were so lazy, they took Benoit's theme, remixed it and gave it to Kidman.

It's so funny how much WCW music was royalty free music. Like, you'd hear Chris Jericho's theme (first one, not the Even Flow knockoff) during SportsCenter highlights. The Thunder theme was played between rounds in PRIDE FC (and I recently heard it during a promo for Sundance Channel programming, which I obviously marked out for). Remember hearing Goldberg's theme for History Channel promos. Their biggest wrestlers! Just using, like, "Bumper Music #75" as their walkout music. Insane. Benoit's most generic theme ever starting out as a "real song" still blows my mind. The band must have sold the instrumental version to a sound library for some quick money, only to be shocked to hear it as often as it did making the rounds in multiple places. Okay, Chris Jericho's first theme also started out as a real song (that I genuinely think Baker would enjoy) before the instrumental got sold off. How deep do these songs go?

Goldberg's theme was sampled in the opening track of Damian Marley's Welcome To Jamrock album, always loved that. I don't think it was just a random sample they used since he's referenced Bam Bam Bigelow in one of his songs, maybe he was a wrestling guy.

Mr. Wonderful's theme > all other WCW themes including the Horsemen & Midnight Express. Sorry, but them's the rules. It's so funny how much WCW music was royalty free music. Their biggest wrestlers! Just using, like, "Bumper Music #75" as their walkout music. Insane. While probably not to the extent of WCW, this also happened on occasion with WWF themes. Remember hearing the Hardys & BOBCORE themes in unexpected places, though I cannot recall exactly where. Until just now I thought Jericho's first WCW theme really was called Basketball Highlights #12! That's what he called it in his book. Alas, a quick search now has me leaning towards Jericho being sarcastic.
