So that's definitely "More Human Than Human" by White Zombie on this 1996 ECW show. I'm torn... on one hand, I've always loved this song. On the other hand, I first heard it in the mid-2000s. Learning it was over half a decade old by then is certainly something..!

So this ECW show introduced Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy as from Badstreet, USA. I decided to look it up, and I found this AMAZINGLY 80s video from The Fabulous Freebirds on WWE's website: https://www.wwe.com/videos/badstreet-usa-music-video

The Fabulous Freebirds were the first wrestlers to have original entrance music, after Michael Hayes recorded "Badstreet U.S.A." Watch the music video for the WWE Hall of Famers' anthem now!
Oh, I gets better! They follow up by dissing on fake Sting on WCW! ECW was on fire in this era!
I love that ECW used Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie to diss on the fake Razor Ramon and Diesel so hard. "If Razor and Diesel can be on Monday Night Raw--" "And everyone believes that was Razor and Diesel! Vrrp! [Pinocchio nose gesture]" "Oh, even I thought it was Razor and Diesel. But anyway, if Razor and Diesel can be on Monday Night Raw, then we can be The Public Enemy. We took our lead from Razor and Diesel." [together, sarcastically] "Thank you, Vince!"

So this "Recap of 10 years of WWF Superstars" episode in late 1996 had a random bit of intros and it used an obvious rip-off of Dick Dale's "Miserlou."
Out of of context, this would seem random. Since I've been watching 1995 and 1996 pro wrestling stuff from various promotions, I knew this was a reference to ECW's "Pulp Fiction" promos they'd been airing for a year or so, where they'd rapid-fire cut between bits of new promos with said song in the background.

So after Pitbull 1 had his neck broken, they started referring to him by his real name. Normally this would be fine, but I start giggling uncontrollably every time I hear Joey Styles say "Gary." Like he's supposed to be this badass dude... called Gary. It completely diminishes the aura he had built up.
