Wrestling CD Reviews
by Dante Spears on 3 March 2010

If there's one thing from the WWE I always look forward to it's their CD releases. For the most part the CD's are beacons of excellent design containing an eclectic selection of music. What I love about the CD releases is that it gives lesser known bands a chance to showcase their talent and give them some exposure...

I’m back to take a look at the recently released CD; Voices: WWE The Music, Vol.9. The previous CDs have been surprisingly well compiled and some of the songs are my personal favourites. Will this latest offering be able to match the quality of the previous releases?

How to approach a review of wrestling themed songs? Christ almighty, that’s something I never thought about before. Should I dissect each track and give each a score while commenting on how each song is suited to each superstar? Or maybe I should just review it as an album, ignoring its wrestling roots?

For all you nu-metal kids out there that think Linkin Papa Bizkit are the kings of metal, long before them, there was ‘Heavy Metal’. Then, it’s offspring was born, and lo, it was called Thrash. Before I get into the meat of the review, I should point out that I pretty much grew up with some of the bands on this record, so my views my be a little biased by the rose-tinted lenses of time… so beware!

This week I got the chance to listen to the latest WWE music offering WWE Originals. This CD unlike most of the recent releases does not feature the theme music of your favourite superstars but instead it’s the wrestlers singing and rapping to new tracks which sum up their character. So we know the wrestlers can entertain in the ring but the question is can they entertain behind the mic?

The first CD is "The Federation Years", and is a must for long-time wrestling fans. Songs here range from awful (The sappy Savage/Elizabeth wedding theme and Jesse James' country song) to the ok (Nation of Domination and Jake Roberts) to the fantastic (Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan's 'Real American' and my personal favourite, 'Cool, Cocky, Bad' for the Honky Tonk Man). 33 songs grace this CD, ranging from the late eighties/early nineties to around early '97 time, just before the era of 'Attitude' took over the wrestling business. Some real corkers on here include Ultimate Warrior's heavy rocking "Unstable" tune (wonder why they called it that), Shawn Michael's "Sexy Boy" which you can't help but prance around with your air guitar too (or is that just me?), and "It's all about the Money", belonging to "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Of course, songs such as Bertha Faye's "Sweet Lovin' Arms" and "Lex Express" let it down a bit, not too bad that the CD suffers majorly. This CD is great for remembering the "Good ol' days" and is probably the best CD out of the three for that reason alone.

He's a former ECW Tag Team and TV champion, a former WCW World, US, TV and Cruiserweight champion, and a former WW(F)E European, Intercontinental, Tag Team, Hardcore champion and a later unrecognised World Champion (thank HHH), as well as the first ever Undisputed Champion. He's conquered wrestling, and now, he's attempting to conquer the music industry too.

With the vast amount of reviews at Wrestling 101 based around videos or video games, I thought I'd add a little collection of music reviews from the world of wrestling. So far, I've looked at the offering of Chris Jericho's 'Fozzy', and WWE Anthology, a collection of theme tunes over the past 15 years. But what happens when the WWE meets the world of hip-hop? Thats what we found out when WWE released "Aggression".
