The best part is Jim wrote ‘The Game’ theme song in under 5 minutes and he made it only on three cords. He talks about how it was easy for him to write ‘Time to play The Game‘ theme song as it went very well with Triple H’s character on screen.

Jim was operating at another level

Jim Johnston wrote all of the songs that had lyrics. The DX theme for example, he was just calling out phrases for Chris Warren to yell and then stitched together the best ones

Also, if you listen close the basic chords for The Game are exactly the same as My Time. In fact, there's an unreleased version of My Time with a dude rapping The Game's lyrics:



HHH used the instrumental version of this after he deaded his brief face turn in late 2000 before switching to the Motorhead song

Only time the lyrical version got used was in a video package hyping his return in 07
