I noticed British Bulldog used the exact same theme in both WCW and WWF (Rule Britannia by Leonard Bernstein & the New York Philharmonic) which I thought was pretty cool due to how unusual it must have been.

I just wondered are there many other examples of wrestlers using the exact same theme (remakes/different versions don't count) in both WCW and WWF, before the March 2001 buyout?

You're totally wrong in these. If you didn't check out, Davey Boy Smith used different version(s) in each company. In WCW, he used stock music version of the well-known british march, while in WWF he used the mainstream version made by the one you mentioned. Sorry if I sound rude.

Hope that helps you!. I just named the ones used in television.

I believe he is asking which wrestlers used the same theme in WCW and WWF (the same wrestler), and not different wrestlers who used the same theme.

And that happens when I did not check out the answer more than twice.

A recent example would be Mark Young, he used "Touch of Evil (1)" (from Bruton) in both companies in 1989.
Another example could be Shane McMahon, but he used his daddy's music, he hadn't debut "Here Comes The Money" at Backlash 2001, would it count?.

That's the only two I could find out.

I'm confused, I was going by the listings on the main site. It lists both Bulldog's 2nd/3rd WWF theme and his 7th WCW theme as “Rule, Britannia” by Leonard Bernstein & the New York Philharmonic. Are they not the same track? I know his earlier WCW ones were different but I'm not referring to those.

I also remember British Bulldog going to the ring in WCW with his ordinary WWF version. I also seen Roddy Piper go down to the ring for a talking promo in WCW once to 48th Highlanders - Scotland The Brave his also once only used in TNA theme.

I'm guessing UK TNT equired the rights to air the undubbed versions due to the shows being pre taped whilst the US also showing pre taped but having to equire the rights through different american rights management channels had to dub them over with the guys following production themes then the week after their production themes kicked in full time or something.

I know I've heard them use their mainstream classical themes on UK broadcast. I just know it, Assassin is 100% right about Bulldog's WWF being used in WCW before the Production version.
