I kinda always thought it was a bit of a modern (at the time) twist on parts of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith

Nobody, because it wasn’t a Jimmy Hart/WCW compositon; rather, it was written and performed by Keith Scott, who played guitar in Bryan Adams’ (not the wrestler) band. Little known fact: Bret’s first WCW theme was written and initially performed by Jimmy Hart, but Bret hated it because it sounded like shit, so Jimmy Hart and WCW had it re-worked and performed by Craig Northey from the Canadian band The Odds.
