Earlier, Rihanna's jaw-dropping barbed wire outfit appeared on the cover of Russian Roulette, her first new single since she was assaulted by ex-flame Chris Brown in February.
Paul Heyman, the former head of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), has leapt to his website to post images from his album containing his theme tunes. The album, ECW The Volume One, was released in 1998 when he was known as Sandman.
The Heyman Hustle website shows Heyman's torso with wire wrapped around it and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Heyman said: "It's pretty obvious this was copied from, or at least EXTREMELY inspired by the ECW album cover. From the barbed wire and the right arm up in the air to the blood dripping off the logo. Hey, I don't blame them. If you're going to copy someone, copy from the best."
Heyman, whose post is titled The Truth About Rihanna, added: "By the way, Rihanna - you're welcome!"
