13 WWE Theme Songs That Are Blatant Ripoffs

12. Asuka (King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man)

And now for one of the most hilariously obvious liftings from the pantheons of classic music.

Asuka's distinctive theme "The Future" debuted in late 2015, some 46 years after progressive rock band King Crimson released the suspiciously similar track "21st Century Schizoid Man."

The opening riff is too close to identical for it to be a coincidence, but you know what? If it draws more attention to the cult rock outfit, then there are worse things in the world.

Plus, it's a whole step above WWE's tendency to give foreign wrestlers cringe-worthy, stereotypical "regional" themes. Bravo.
