Akeem's nickname was "The African Dream", so I guess Jim had written him a theme song back then. As it turned out, the only song Akeem ended up using on TV was "Jive Soul Bro", which belonged to his manager Slick.

Is that even by Jim Johnston, that one got dubbed, could it be by Jimmy Hart and John Maguire?

I'm not sure if Kamala's 1st was by Johnston. Kamala started using that theme around 1992. So I don't think Johnston made that theme, I don't think it was production either.

The "Legends of Wrestling" Roundtable theme is an edited (intro cut) version of "Playmakers" by NFL Music. Perhaps, it should be put into the TV / Web Show section.

The theme "Trials" by NFL music was also used for the Royal Rumble "Numbers" promo.

Oh fuck me, that third song was NFL Music after all? Yeah, I just looked it up myself and it does match. I recognized the first two songs instantly, but not that third one. Seems I'm only familiar with Sam Spence compositions and not with Tom Hedden's stuff.

I was just watching the 1st disc of "The Rise and Fall of WCW" last night, and the "History of Goldberg" special feature used "Seeing Red" (Drew McIntyre's theme) as its music.

Also, some of the Paul Heyman introductions from the "Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches" DVD use "Sonic Dirt" by Richard Wilkins (Bruton) from his "Grunge Rock" album.

Maybe African Dream was for Akeem. He was known as Akeem "The African Dream". I know that he used Jive Soul Bro, but I think during his debut video their was African tribe chanting. Maybe Johnston wrote the chant. It's a possibility.
