Wow, they actually put this “anti-classic” on CD. Seriously, this is a very bad album. Practically none of the “superstars” can sing, other than Jimmy Hart, and they are mostly stuck with dumb novelty songs. Not that they fare too well when they sing “serious” songs. Nikolai Volkoff has a decent baritone voice, but his thick accent renders “Cara Mia” unintelligible. Probably the worst singing here is by Roddy Piper, although Captain Lou Albano gives him a run for the money. If you are a fan of bad celebrity singing, you should get this album.

and it holds up just as well today. in the past few years, the market has been flooded with wrestling-themed albums, mostly containing 30 seconds of generic entrance music stretched out 3 or 4 minutes to create a “song”. at least these are “real” songs, which is about the best you can say for them. of the originals, the only keepers are jimmy harts suprisingly catchy “rick springfield” and the absurd yet moronically toe tapping “capt lou’s history of music”. as for the covers, hearing nikolai volkoff sing cara mia is worth a snicker or two, but not more than that, and mean gene singing at all is embarrassing (although not as bad as his “rock & roll hoochie koo” off the wrestling album II, barely). all the wrestlers chip in on “land of 1000 dances”, although i cant quite remember if the original boasted the lyrics “i’m gonna rap you with my cane, you pencil neck geek” or “i’m gonna crush you with my avalanche”. the in between song patter between okerland, mcmahon, & ventura is for the most part stilted and unfunny. please, i abhor you, spend your hard earned money on something a little better.

This really was not the sort of thing I was expecting. It was a real mish-mash of very low grade compositions. I actually bought this on tape and therefore the only thing i’m pleased about is the fact I didn’t waste any more money on buying it on CD. I’ve bought all the other WWF cd’s and they’re very good. This, sadly is not.

Listening to this album brings back great memories of the 80′s when the WWF (WWE) was introducing theme music with their wrestling superstars. Hulk Hogan’s theme music is on it, however; Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo used “Real American” for their theme music first. Hilibilly Jim, JYD, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Jimmy Hart, Mean Gene, George “the Animal” Steele, Vince McMahon, and even Jesse “the Body/Mind” Ventura grace the cover and also add their wonderful voices to the soundtrack. If you are a huge wrestling fan, pick this up – you’ll love it!

I had this back when it was a record album! It is good to see that this has been released on cd. It is a fun album, and it brings back good memories about the fun of wrestling.
