Oldie but Alrighty, June 5, 2006
This album may not have that great of songs, but I've had it since it came out way back in 1993. It is great for nostalgic purposes and brings back many memories. It is for long time wrestling fans. What's great about it is that I have it signed by Tatanka when I met him way back then.

Dance with the Taker, March 14, 2004
This review is from: Wrestlmania: The Album (Audio CD)
This album came out in 1993, when the WWF was at a low point. Wrestling was less popular than it had been in years, but that didn't stop RCA Records from releasing this album featuring WWF Superstars "singing". The music is early '90s synthesized dance pop (I think it's notable that the album credits 7 keyboardists, but only one guitarist and one drummer). As for the singing, the wrestlers don't so much sing as speak the lyrics. Most of the Superstars have songs about how tough they are, but Bret "Hitman" Hart actually has a romantic ballad that is among the worst I've ever heard. The whole album is incredibly cheesy and bad. One funny thing about this album is that it actually yielded two hit songs in the U.K. "Wrestlemania" was a #14 hit and "Slam Jam" got all the way up to #4 on the charts. Which just goes to show that the English sometimes have worse taste than Americans. One more side note: "Wrestlemania" later became Linda McMahon's enterence music. This terrible album is recommended for lovers of bad music only.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE, April 9, 2006
To be fair to this CD(I haven't the slightest idea why), I decided to torture myself with this album yet again so I can review it properly. So let the torture begin! Wrestlemania(3:35)-The first track starts off with a bang NOT! Bad, bad promos from wrestlers.I know what you guys must be thinking other than "Walker, what in the world are you doing to yourself by listening to this?" :Why are there wrestling promos in a song,eh? Well, I never said this album had to be well thought out so there. Bad backing locals and bad rapping from God knows who. This is only the beginning friends. Summerslam Jam(3:16)- Wow! This is the most annoying song I've heard in a long,long time. More promos from Bret Hart(my fav. wrestler), Bulldog, Randy Savage, and the Undertaker. Though I like Bret Hart at no time felt any love for this album. The refrain puts me to sleep. Verses from idiotic rapper again. U.S.A.(3:13)-"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan sings this number. I'm beginning to wonder if William Shatner is better. Anyone have a Shatner album I can borrow. Jim does a huge promo(no singing involved thank God) and HOOOS while some people say U.S.A. Extremely redundant and nausiating. Nasty Boys Stomp(3:36)- Obviously the Nasty Boys do this pathetic riff. Ironic, they say '93 is the year of the Nasty's but they were fired before '93 even ended. Continuation of sayings and chanting and singing. Makes me want to cry going any further with this. Pass the hammer so I can end the pain in my head. Never Been A Right Time To Say Goodbye(3:40)- Bret Hart gets to sing a love song. Let's see: (you) Love song, wtf. This song makes me laugh insanely. I don't think that's the reaction they wanted. Poor Bret being forced to do a crappy CD. The Man In Black(3:33)- Undertaker takes the stage with this one. Electric guitar agoing. Clownlike music, I think. My minds shot. Can't possibly go on. Ultimate redundancy here. Speaking From The Heart(3:25)- Macho Man brings us the joy of his pitiful attempt at rapping. Rhyming a 2 year old could do. Raps about the planets and stars for some reason. Maybe he felt he needed to teach us astronomy, I don't know. Tatanka Native American(3:39)- Tatanka Buffalo Tatanka Buffalo. I get it. That's about all the song I remember even as I am listening right now. Tatanka Buffalo. I'm Perfect(3:44)-Mr. Perfect takes center stage on this one. Basically his theme music mixed in with a pathetic dialogue(singing) of Curt"Mr. Perfect" Henning. To say this song sucked is an understatement, but nothing can suck as bad as Savage rapping about the galaxy so maybe the worst of the storm is over. Blasted CD: Why don't you end? Hard Times(3:31)-The Big Bossman finishes this extremely crappy trash. Lame. So much emotion from singer, but also so much crappy lyrics to mess with the brain. Bossman says about 3 lines(thank God). The only problem is it is played over and over like the emotional refrain. YAY! It's finally over. Ironically Simon "American Idol" Cowell was executive producer of this rubbish. Maybe I can get him to sign this.
