Is the real arena one he uses now unreleased? I know there's a version where it don't loop but I've never heard anymore of it.

Well, there is a clear arena version around the Internet, but it isn't as complete as the Full Metal release of his theme. If I recall correctly, it was ripped from RAW 2.

Anyway, I made a looped edit of that version for myself. It lasts for a little bit over 3 minutes and sounds in fairly good quality. http://www.mediafire.com/?umjm3wrmmni. If the link is down, I'll re-up it as soon as possible.

The best version of the Arena version is the "In Your House" rip, even though if it's in mono, but at least it beats that shitty Stereo version from WWF Attitude and RAW 2.

I would have thought since the theme is for such a huge superstar, it would have been released already.

Gangsta Nation is correct. The best quality real version of Sexy Boy is ripped from "In Your House" for PSX.

Although Sexy Boy has been released on 3 different albums (Full Metal, Anthology, & Raw's Greatest Hits), they've all been a fake version that has a faster tempo and slightly different instrumentation. I don't think he's ever actually used the fake version for his entrance. This fake one is also what is usually found in video games. SDVR09 sounds a little different because they slowed it down to match the tempo of his real one. A few games since IYH have had his real version, but they've all been crap quality.

Does somebody know where to find the In Your House rips? I borrowed the game from a friend and tried ripping it at home, but for some strange reason my computer didn't recognize the CD.
Also, when's the game supposed to play the entrance themes? The closest thing I got to hear the theme song was playing a cinematic during the game's ending.

You have to download a special PSX ripping program if you want to rip them yourself. One program that can do so is called PSound. There's also another one called PSMplay or something like that.

As for when the game actually plays the themes. . . it never does. The game has a ton of audio that is never used, and can only be heard in the sound test. I'd say 60-70% of the commentary on the disc by Vince McMahon and Mr Perfect is not even used.
I'd guess that the game was supposed to have entrances, but they got cut. That's why the entrance music is on the disc but unused.

I want to make a quick clarification. The real version of HBK's theme is merely the instruments from his theme sung by Sherri Martel with the remade lyrics by HBK thrown over the top of it. I dont know if he ever used the fake versions as it is quite hard to tell considering they sound quite similiar. I think to be on the safe side the fake versions should be included also, i remember one of them being used but i couldnt show you a recording because i dont remember exactly when it occurred.

Most likely it was probably dubbed...

Bubbafan2, thanks for the advice on what should I use. I don't recall what program did I use to rip another game (IIRC, Mega Man X5) for testing purposes, but the rip was actually siccessful with that game. I think the problem was with the In Your House CD. Anyway, if I need to rip something again, I'll consider using either of those programs.

Also, about the themes, I recall having heard an entrance theme where HBK's fake theme intro was abruptly cut and then followed by the nWo's theme, kind of like a theme the Big Show had when he was with the nWo.

Phenomena, Any chance if you can upload the rips from Mega Man X5? The one from the soundtrack were all incomplete. :D

And that HBK/nWo theme 80 kbps was a custom edit made by a user from TheSledgeHammer... Also there was a Undertaker/nWo edit made by the same user, so he never used an edit of that.

To Gangsta Nation: I can upload that rip, perhaps this friday.

About HBK theme... does the edit I posted the previous page sound similar to the actual arena edit? I'm kind of curious about it, 'cause I edited that song based off a tron rip with not very good sounding.

Full Metal

Either his Entrance or Exit from One Night Only.

His normal version was also used for either Entrance or Exit on that night, forgot which.
