All composers, all promotions welcome.
Here's some lore of the theming community. People used to forums and AIM chatrooms revolved around trading and leaking themes back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Quite a few of themes WCW and WWF used were just tracks they licensed off stock music production sites, where anyone can go to buy a track or score for their movie/broadcast/tv show etc. Example the Hardy Boyz theme was one and you could also hear it in a commercial promoting monster trucks. So people would spend hours going these sites previewing thousands of tracks until they could find one that was used in wrestling.
For the really sought after themes that weren't released in "CDQ" (cd quality), brehs would resort to ripping snippets from video games, using recordings off TV broadcasts and trying to clean up the crowd and commentary noise with effects.
Anyway here is one that leaked this year, Jeff Jarrett's WCW theme, made by mouth of the South Jimmy Hart (he composed alot of wrestling themes, HBK's Sexy Boy, all the WCW ripoffs of real songs). This is the ripoff of Kid Rock's Cowboy. This was said to be off a DAT tape that was stolen or ripped in 2001 either from a house show or IT or intern that worked at WWF Headquarters when they acquired WCW and they got all the music of their performers with the purchase. They would not pay Jimmy for the rights, which is why most WCW talent debuted with new themes, and they are all dubbed over on the Network.
Apparently whoever had this tried to trade with someone, and they just leaked it. There's still losers out there holding onto unreleased themes to try to get clout within the very very small theme community in 2018. Take into account the actual songs are usually super shyt, as well.
Nowadays, thanks to the beauty of technology, online music providers and youtube streaming exist, anything that has been leaked or put out officially can be found or bought with great ease. CFO the current production team for WWE, usually release a current theme every week to iTunes. They even upload to to youtube at this link:
