7 WWE Entrance Music Themes That Were Total Rip-Offs

4. Harley Race, King Haku And Jerry Lawler "King Theme"

The "king" theme song is one of the most recycled songs in WWE history. It's the song that most fans know as the theme song of Jerry Lawler that he has used for over 20 years in WWE. When Harley Race was known as a king in late 1980s WWE he used the song. Race was a heel that was managed by Bobby Heenan for most of his WWE run. Prior to his WWE career, he was a NWA Champion and one of the best wrestlers ever, but they never pushed him as a main eventer in WWE mainly because he was in his 40s by that point. Once Race moved on from WWE, Heenan found himself him a new king and that was King Haku, who some fans might remember as Meng from WCW. The theme song was even used by Hacksaw Jim Duggan when he beat Haku for the "king" name. Then he lost it to Randy Savage, but Savage used his traditional theme song.Jerry Lawler started in 1993. By that point they had stopped doing the "king" gimmick with an active wrestler, so naturally they gave the song to Lawler since "The King" was his character.
