I’ve currently got Summerslam 2002 on and Flair enters to his early 90s WWF theme rather than his usual one. Did he come out to it at the actual show, or has it been overdubbed on Netflix?

No idea, but I bet he came out to that theme on the WWF Backlash 2002 PPV. The home release of that is fucking bizarre (sorry Davey Boy). The nWo, Undertaker and Booker T all come out to weird knock off version's of their music and I still have no idea why.

I think there's some Netflix'n just checked my NAS on my old live tape rips, Summerslam Flair comes out to the usual 2001 space and Backlash too so must be copyright reasons

nWo, Taker etc on Backlash is normal

I think it's all copyright related wasn't there something that WWE don't own the nWo theme, Taker at Backlash was Rollin'  Booker not sure

There must have been some sort of dispute going on around that time as I recall nWo & Booker both having alternative music (presume the same one as used on the Backlash video?) on WrestleMania X8 for the Gamecube.

I have the DVD from 2002 and it is indeed dubbed. How strange! The live entrance was NOT his early WWF theme.

Edit: It's dubbed with his 1992 WWF theme. And I have the UK SilverVision release from 2002. I'm sure a lot of the other releases had his genuine WWF/WWE Theme...

The fact it isn’t listed on Netflix makes me think not. People thought that Smackdown on 3rd Jan was going to be on Netflix when the Netflix app said it wasn’t. 
 

What is also notably not on Netflix is the weekly Main Event show even though matches are still being taped for it. I am wondering if WWE might be carving out potential for a minor rights package of the weekly Main Event show and the quarterly SNMEs. Bit like Channel 4 had with Heat and 4 PPVs.

If nobody wants to buy the rights from them then they can just stick SNME on YouTube in the region.

So apparently WWE UK socials are now saying SNME will be on YouTube. So we should not just expect Netflix will have absolutely everything WWE does.

Wild watching BBC news this morning, reporting on Netflix hitting record profits and them specifically mentioning WWE.

I hope Undisputed WWE Champion Kevin Owens takes a well-deserved victory lap.

Of course you do. It's copyright. The nWo theme includes a sample from Highway Chile and they've dubbed over it loads of times. Wouldn't surprise me if they'd lost the rights to Rollin' for home video by that point too. They always dubbed Edge's Rob Zombie theme as well.

Booker T... nope, not a clue. Unless it was a Jimmy Hart one and they didn't want to pay him. Plenty of his used to get dubbed on the Network.

No my point was on the Backlash VHS specifically, they seemed to adjust/replace the themes.

Actually I say this, I never saw No Way Out, Mania X8 etc on video/DVD, so it's just my brain acting very strangely.
