    When did HHH start using the name "The Game" and is there any story behind it?

    I've been watching that era a lot recently and as far as I remember the first time I heard it was around the time he won his first title in August 1999, or possibly in the run up to that. It was originally a catchphrase "Everyone else plays the game, but I am the game" or something like that,

    Wait, Rose won't have "World Goes Wild"? ****! That song was awesome :( Did notice there was a similiar sounding song for the vignettes but didn't realise it was a complete change.

    Dunno how much truth there is to this but my mate told me Sunday night that basically WWE used the first theme without paying copyright to whomever wrote it, then went to pay it and the songwriters had already sold the copyright during the week to someone else.

    :(

    New one isn't half as catchy.

    It's not that bad. I enjoy it. Not as good as the debut theme but it's still pretty good. Really hope it gets over.

    Not sure if it's common knowledge but "The Game" shtick was originally intended for Owen Hart.

    Nice got his second one and it was good. That ric flair one could be a mess giving what I've seen of him recently. I don't think ric is okay.

    I'd highly suggest getting y2J's first one, Around The World in Spandex. It's my favourite ever wrestling book. He's been in Japan, Mexico, Europe, ECW, Smokey Mountain, WCW to name just a few. He's got hilariously told stories from all and he's very knowledgable and funny in general.

    I thought CFO$ were producing most if not all of WWEs themes these days.

    Any question. what exactly is involved in the Legends contract in WWE? Is it appearances, Merch and being ambassadors or is there more involved?

    I know Jim Johnson was still involved last year at least , hes done Fandangos theme as well as Bo Dallas theme as well as Special Ops for the Shield.

    CFO$ is mostly likely taking over the reigns and Jim supervising.



    Basicallya Legends contract mean a superstar is on call for rare appearances and compete in a few matches (if able), also giving WWE rights over their image and their likeness in some cases, so they can sell affiliated merch.

    The King of Kings song is used in his COO on screen appearances, where as the Game tune is used when he wrestles.

    He's a huge Motorhead mark and when he returned in August 2007 he had this new song to go along with video promos.

    Not an answer, but was kind of happy they didn't; mania is meant to be a global super show with a global audience, and while I appreciate how patriotic the Americans are, the anthem does nothing for a large chunk of their audience and adds little to the show.

    Byway, wild guess....was it on the preshow?

    I know it probably meant something to the Americans but I liked it and it was kind of a tradition of singing( bar wm 14 where they butchered it) and no I don't think it happened on the pre show.

    My thinking is the King of kings was used for promos etc when he returned a few years back even at 1 mania if I'm right. It wasn't used for a long time they were useing The Game theme but now hes a heel the pops were face pops when it played so there usen the king of kings now

    I noticed at the end of Mania Bryan invited into the ring a woman and a kid at ringside. Were these members of his family?

    Q: (Speaking of multiple themes for the same wrestler) What was the deal with Mankind having two themes at once?

    He'd have an intro theme that sounded a bit like a Barber's Adagio For Strings and then if he won he'd have a winning theme that was a completely different piece (a sort of quiet piano piece which is probably one of the least 'wrestling' themes I've ever heard).

    Mick's actually spoken about this, I can't recall the exact words but when talking about his character to Jim he thought his outro should be a soothing melody. Jim ran with it and Mick didn't hear any more about it until he heard it when he won a match.

    It was meant to show that he was at peace after beating someone up.
