5.0 out of 5 stars Relive our Golden Age of Wrestling all over again, November 29, 1999
By 
"iconmci" (Parts Unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wrestling Album (Audio CD)
They have done it.. Re-released the sounds that made wrestling what it today. Vince McMahon had a vision back in the early 80s to make professional wrestling a mainstream product. His first venture in music was this album. Lots of commentary by Vince McMahon, "Mean" Gene Okerland, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Hearing songs like "DONT GO MESSING WITH A COUNTRY BOY" reminds me of Hillbilly Jim coming to the ring all over again. "THE LAND OF A THOUSAND DANCES" brings back memories of the WWF/MTV Rock 'n Wrestling connection back in the 80s. Who doesnt get a fond memory of Hulk Hogan coming out everytime you hear "REAL AMERICAN"? Hearing Mona (Cindi Lauper) Flambe, and Rick (Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Coo) Derringer belt out the WWF Champion's Anthem can't be beat.

3.0 out of 5 stars This takes me back to the days when i was a baby Hulkamaniac, July 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wrestling Album (Audio CD)
This is worth getting for nostalgia reasons.There are a few real themes on here, but the rest of them are just goofy songs sung by the wrestlers ( still, it's better than "Wrestlemania:the album" ). This is worth every single cent, though for " Grab Them Cakes" and "Real American" ( the best theme EVER! ). Now only if they'd rerelease 'Piledriver"....

4.0 out of 5 stars Hesitant to spend 12, BUT...., September 27, 2006
This review is from: The Wrestling Album (Audio CD)
I'm 32 years old as I write this. I remember buying this album brand new back in the day and spinning it (yes, I had it on an actual RECORD!!!) non stop. When the parents would leave, I would crank it LOUD and lip sync to my favs. My big time heroes at the time were Piper (so of course, I loved For Everybody), and Paul Orndorff (who old school fans will remember came to the ring to Real American after he turned on Hogan. Anyhow, the way I see it, anything that can make you smile is a good thing. This is a CD that will make you smile. It might be lost on those who didn't follow the WWF in the late 80's. I just wish it wasn't 12 bucks.
