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. The only real problem I’ve ever seen with these CD’s is that they take perfectly good songs and remix them horribly for no other reason than to fill space on the CD and then never use the remix on TV.

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? Or maybe ignore both options above and just watch The Princes Trust 30th Anniversary Show, after all that dozy blond from Celebrity Big Brother is on, you know the one, or maybe you are lucky enough to have never heard of Chantelle…

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.

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?

Over the years, music in WW(F)E has changed dramatically. Some for the good, some for the bad. But all as big a part of wrestling growing up as anything else. So when WWE decided to put an entire collection of these songs together, I had to get it. Luckily, my caring boss had a copy and sent it to me, but on one condition: I had to review it. So was it worth it? The answer to that question is…

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”.
