7 great wrestling themes ripped off from real songs

#6 Kurt Angle - My Quest (Red Rider's Lunatic Fringe)

Kurt Angle’s WWE theme song was recycled from the music used by past wrestler, The Patriot, and it’s a song that has become synonymous with Angle as it fits his character so well. Of course, when he left WWE in 2006, he couldn’t use the theme so TNA created a great one for him of their own.

Being that Kurt Angle is an Olympic Gold Medalist and a lifelong amateur wrestler, it was only fitting of them to use a song that is best associated with the most iconic amateur wrestling movie of all time, 1985’s Vision Quest.

Kurt would eventually use a remixed version of the theme performed by John Cena’s cousin Trademarc, which was also good, but nothing beats the original. It’s a great theme song inspired by a great real song, and a very clever, perfect fit for a wrestler like Kurt Angle.
