dctoyrevolution.org • View topic - My Vintage Wrestling Collection: CD THEME COLLECTION!! (2024)

So here we go with My collection of Wrestling CDs. Now as I have explained earlier on within the topic among other places within the forum, I didn't collect wrestling figures and so on till I wised up when I was about 9 or so. I was really too late for the LJN even though I had My chances but i was in time for the Hasbro WWF & Galoob & Just Toys WCW figures in 1990. So I didn't start collecting wrestling music either till 1990 when My Grandma signed Me up for the WWF Fan Club when they first issued their WWF Wrestling Theme Cassette Tapes which ran from 1990 - 1995. Unfortunately I misplaced most of that stuff however I didn't with My special 1990-1991 Key Chain and My little WWF Tote Bag that I took every day with Me to school to have My Lunch at their cool & huge cafeteria (I loved their sausage pizza slices & that's where I discovered Andy Capps's Fries and craved them ever since) and as I said earlier on in My Wrestling VHS & DVD collection nobody but Chris was interested in this which really sucked, society has always been so disappointing to say the least and really it's even worse now since it's so flaky & cryptic Anyway, these special WWF items are on My Insane Keychain which you can see the whole topic in My Odds & Ends Topic plus so much more here ---> http://www.dctoyrevolution.org/general-toy-discussions/my-odds-ends-insane-keychain-t1176.html

Now as you saw in My huge 5 Part of My Wrestling VHS & DVD Collection, I showed off both versions of My Suburban Commando and I said that on the VHS Cover it mentioned that the Soundtrack was available on Rhino Records. I never could find it anywhere locally on any format for over a decade till I searched online on Amazon's Marketplace Sellers and I scored getting the Compact Disc sometime in the 2000s. So as I said before at the climax of My previous showcase, presenting My Wrestling CD collection would be so apropos. I've already shown how much I love movie soundtracks & scores and listening to wrestling themes is as equal and the way I see it there is no difference, it'e really a shame I've never talked and had in-depth conversations with people other than Family about all of this fun stuff, again society So as much as I loved Suburban Commando I had to get the soundtrack. It's really an odd one with no score by Michael David Frank who really composed some great action hero movies scores in the 80s & 90s. It has some quotable scenes from the film and does have most if not all of the songs that was heard in the film sans the William Tell Overture which most people (I guess) know it as the chosen theme for the Lone Ranger TV show that was composed by Gioacchino Antonio Rossini (1792–1868). So even though I got it in the 2000s, the film came out in 1991 and so di the score as noted on earlier on the VHS Box. I'm putting everything in chronological order as it was released and not when I got them starting with My Suburban Commando soundtrack as here is it's front & back covers

When you open up the jewel case, it looks kinda basic as to how the CD & Booklet appears as it it was still basic/generic in the early 90s I mean CDs had only been around half of a decade or so. It is pretty nice looking and you can clearly see the whole track list so click it in a new tab as well as everything else within the showcase to see all the detail

1. Ramsey And Zanuck2:34
2. J-Rock Featuring Hulk Hogan – It's A Nice Place To Live (But I Wouldn't Want To Visit) 3:06
3. Robert Jason –Almost Like Paradise 2:28
4. Rank & File – Black Book 4:23
5. No Artist - Ramsey Vs. The Gearheads 0:54
6. The Next Big Thing – Ramsey 3:23
7. K.C. & The Sunshine Band* – Do You Wanna Go Party 3:44
8. Nitro – Freight Train 3:53

So despite it had no score whatsoever it's pretty good. However the soundtrack is only about a half hour which in My book is way too short and wastes the space that you could have put so much more extra material on there and made it even more exciting and way more special I always check it out as I gently turn the disc over to the light. By doing this I can tell how long the CD or rather the run-time of it is. This Soundtrack is only about 29 minutes long which is really below standard for releases back then. I can tell because the lighter circle around the rim where the eye reader reads. I don't know how many people knows or even pays attention to things like this cause I never read anybody ever talk about it I have many Scores especially Star Wars that where the lighter circle is near the end of the edge of the Disc, when it's near the end which now we're talking cause these babies are around the 70+ Minute mark which I love cause you get a lot of music for your buck and I've always been a person that wants more for less and more time to enjoy what I love I even have some special bootlegs that used "Super CDs" that is 80 minutes which still really amazes Me how they pulled a feat like this cause for a time, an 80 minute CD was stuff of legends so oh I love that kind of thing and it never ever get's old either Now the booklet is pretty impressive because it has a lot of pictures from the movie

It even has the Mutant General Suitor which at the time was a major spoiler there. Here's also some various track info & copyright from various years including 1991 plus the Rhino logo, I love the hologramish look of the the CD Again look at the underside of the disc, you can clearly tell how short it is within the darker tinted area.

So as a special feature I put My Suburban Commando Soundtrack with My VHS & DVD versions that I greatly featured in My huge 5-Part Wrestling VHS & DVD collection on the previous page, look at all of that wonderful classic Hulk Hogan movie history from 1991 and it makes such a fun & fantastic display, I have always loved how this looks

Wrestlemania the Album: This album was absolutely huge for Me to get in 1993. 1993 was a huge wrestling year and a crucial one at that. I know it always gets a really awful backlash of it's repetition and downright flamed by internet darlings and fans that didn't experience this time. By following places like Wrestlecrap and being brainwashed & conditioned to hate the past, this causes so many good things to have an alternate story that it really had I was around this time and watched all of the WWF programming the entire year and it was all very fun, exciting and IMO way more entertaining than today's stuff from WWF & AEW. It had so much to offer I mean this is when WWF Monday Night Raw debuted and Yokozuna became world champ and Hogan returning to Japan:o Soon there will be a huge 1993, Yo, Do You Remember and I will show how darn fun this year really was So during WWF Programming such as Mania & Superstars where they were playing the music videos to these cool songs and in fact they released a cool Coliseum Video with "Macho Man" Randy Savage in the WWF Mania Studio playing all of the videos. It was huge and I was quite euphoric when I got this. Here is the Front & Back Covers, I've always loved how this looked having all of these guys together

Here is the Track Listing, it has 10 of'em and their all so fun. The first two are most used & famous ones and really are My favorites. I loved that "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith is there cause they cut him out in some of the video versions yet I am really surprised that they left in Tony Schiavone & Jimmy "Jam" Garvin. The Nasty Boys is really My fave of wrestler's songs but listening to Macho Man's is so sad for numerous reasons. I have listen to this countless times since I got it, it goes by so fast and it's still as fun now as it was then

1. "WrestleMania"
2. "Slam Jam"
3. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - "USA"
4. The Nasty Boys - "Nasty Boy Stomp"
5. Bret "The Hitman" Hart - "Never Been A Right Time To Say Goodbye"
6. The Undertaker - "The Man In Black"
7. "Macho Man" Randy Savage - "Speaking From The Heart"
8. Tatanka - "Tatanka Native American"
9. Mr. Perfect - "I'm Perfect"
10. The Big Boss Man - "Hard Times"

NOTE: International versions had "Kona" Crush on the cover and had his own song too titled Cold Crush and it was a pretty decent song. I believe they opted out on it because Crush turned heel and it wouldn't have made sense. It also had an alternate 12" version of Slam Jam 12" as well. Shame they did that but this wouldn't be the only WWF album that they made decisions like this for. Continue on with the showcase to find out more

Here is what it looks like when it's opened. I just adore the color scheme here, so cool

The Booklet folds out to be a nice poster of most of the wrestlers that is chosen for this special.

Here is a ton of information within the cool Booklet.

Here is another look at the CD, it looks really cool. Companies were starting to experiment making CDs more colorful. Compare this to 1991's Suburban Commando's CD above. Oh look at the RCA Dog Nipper at the phonograph and the 1993 Copyright of Titan Sports, RCA, BMG & Eurodisc, so darn good

WWF Full Metal: This is arguably My favorite wrestling album of ever of all-time It was supposedly released in 1995 but I never could find it anywhere locally. Peaches/Sound Warehouse never had it nor did Best Buy. However they started showing ads for it in 1996 and I'm like holy crap I gotta have that So TRU was having a blowout-sale on Sega Genesis CD & 32X games in around September. I said to My Mom & Grandma that is what I wanted for Christmas & My Birthday. So one day soon after they kinda hinted why they were going out together one day soon after that and I said see if they or Best Buy has WWF Full Metal: The Album. Well that night they gave it to Me and it was so darn awesome opening it up and playing on My Grandpa's custom made stereo. Such a great time Here is the great looking Front & Back Covers.

Most themes are composed & performed by Jim Johnston who basically composed most of the classic WWF music hear from the 80s & 90s yet so liitle is done about him, nobody talks about him and shold hav been a WWF Hall of Famer a very long time ago. However the first two are by & perform by members of Savatage/Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Such a Surge, Anthrax, Type O Negative, Crumbsuckers/Pro Pain & Overkill. So here is the track list which is quite good, I have always loved it and played it countless times. Now the "We're All Together Now is very fun and one of My favorites, this is why I borrow that phrase in My showcases if you ever wondered that Diesel's theme is one of the best ever because it's so different from anything that Johnston had done prior or after. King Mable's theme is superb with the sirens. Goldust's theme is truly remarkable. I have to say that Psycho Sid's theme has always been My favorite of all

1. "We're All Together Now (Theme Song" (performed by the WWF Superstars & Slam Jam)
2. "Thorn In Your Eye" (performed by the WWF Superstars & Slam Jam)
3. "Diesel Blues" (Diesel)
4. "The Lyin' King" (King Mabel)
5. "1-2-3" (1-2-3 Kid)
6. "Goldust" (Goldust)
7. "Smokin'" (The Smoking Gunns)
8. "Psycho Dance" (Psycho Sid)
9. "Bad Boy" (Razor Ramon)
10. "Hart Attack" (Bret Hart)
11. "Angel" (Hakushi)
12. "Graveyard Symphony" (The Undertaker)
13. "Sexy Boy" (Shawn Michaels) (Jim Johnston/J.J. Maguire/Jimmy Hart)
14. "With My Baby Tonight" (Jeff Jarrett)†

Now, "With My Baby Tonight" was actually performed by Brian Girard James, who wrestled in the WWF at the time as "The Roadie" (and later as "The Road Dogg" Jesse James), Jeff Jarrett lip-synched the song for his performance at WWF In Your House in July 1995. I know this song get's such a bad wrap but I have always liked it and sung it a lot. I always found it soothing & cool. Opening of the CD Jewel Case will show you what this looks like inside and it all looks mighty fine. In fact there's a little surprise and that's a WWF Sticker with the coolest of the logos IMO. I have never used it as I always wanted it to stay safe within the enclosed home that it came from

The Booklet's Back Cover Page has a special message from the then WWF President Gorilla Monsoon

The Booklet is detailed pretty nicely, in fact it's styled like a heavy metal album by Metallica rather than a wrestling one which differs greatly from 93's Wrestlemania the Album seen above. Look at the pictures of the wrestlers with the band all of the ones of Shawn Michales, The Undertaker, The Smoking Gunns & Goldust with there bios. Not everybody has a picture but their bio is there which I've always been a bio & stats person...

and here is Psycho Sid & King Mable. I loved this time. See if there has been anything this grand in modern wrestling that can even compare to this, I think it will be very difficult too. Here is the Track Info

Here's a great look at the CD, I love the smell of it. Also here is a closer look at the sweet, unexpected bonus WWF Sticker. It wouldn't be complete not seeing the 1995 Copyright of Titan Sports & Edel Records

WWF The Music Volume 2: This was THE ONE that truly ignited the spark of WWF Theme Music Collectibility because with the title you knew there was going to be more ahead I listened to this one countless times, maybe even more so than Full Metal In fact I listened to this & Metallica's ReLoad in 97 more than any other album release during this year/time period It was a rather simple release however because there was no heavy metal groups involved, it was all by Jim Johnston. There was three alternate tracks here never heard at live WWF events that had special segments during WWF programming. Its pretty cool that they did that though I think it did cost some other wrestlers' themes to be cut which really is a sacrifice I do not prefer. By WWF terms this was released in the last days of the New Generation and pre-Attitude era (but we all know the true first times of the Attitude Era started when the nWo happen in 1996) so this was released in the Summer 1997. Now unlike the previous two albums, this wasn't produced by a major record label, it was actually really all Stephanie Music & WWF/Titan Sports. I found the tracks to be all exciting yet so different from the previous album. Here is Mine via the Front & Back covers.

Here is the Track Listing. The Undertaker, Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels were all alternate editions heard on WWF programming. Some of these have dialog from the wrestlers such as an alternate one of SCST, Sid, Mankind. I must say Rocky Maivia theme was great, it's just a shame that he became The Rock and this is nothing but almost forgotten history. Ahmed's is really fun. HBK's is good but this version's saxophone part seems like from the 80s and by this time it kinda sounds teasing cause those times were over though it was still the 90s when romantic stuff was still going on and it still felt special. It's really cool that The Nation of Domination is here. Marc Mero & Sable's is actually really sweet and hearing Sunny's theme is downright sultrous really, it shows you how great lengths the Attitude Era was having but arguably Ken Shamrock's theme is My favorite on the whole CD, it just sounds so fun and unique and never seems long enough when you listen to it.

1. The Undertaker - "Dark Side" (3:53)
2. Stone Cold Steve Austin - "Hell Frozen Over" (2:57)
3. Ahmed Johnson - "Pearl River Rip" (3:15)
4. Marc Mero & Sable - "Wild Cat" (2:52)
5. Bret Hart - "You Start the Fire" (3:10)
6. Vader - "Mastodon" (3:09)
7. Mankind - "Ode to Freud" (3:02)
8. Dude Love - "Dude Love" (3:08)
9. Faarooq - "Nation of Domination" (3:03)
10. Rocky Maivia - "Destiny" (3:06)
11. Sycho Sid - "Snap" (3:19)
12. Ken Shamrock - "Dangerous" (3:17)
13. Flash Funk - "Can't Get Enough" (3:25)
14. Sunny - "I Know You Want Me" (3:28)
15. Shawn Michaels - "Sexy Boy" (3:00)

So also in the cool yet somewhat struggling year of 1997, a International album was released outside of the United States titled WWF We Gotta Wrestle. The album, which included a Sunny poster that I would loved to have and a nice sticker sheet, however this edition was missing two tracks from WWF The Music, Vol. 2, Ken Shamrock and Dude Love's themes, but for some reason they added Jake "The Snake" Roberts theme that was not included in WWF The Music, Vol. 2. It also differed in six tracks as well. I mean when you listen to it and look at it, it does seem a bit leftover from 1996 into early 1997. Roberts already left the Federation in January 97 so when those people overseas got this they got a treat that us Americans did not

Here is the inside of the Jewel Case

Here is track notes in the booklet as well as copyright information.

Here is the cool Poster that Booklet folds out to be. The pictures are altered which is kinda strange how they made it.

Here is a look at the CD itself which it looks darn cool plus the 1997 Stephanie Music Copyright

WWF The Music Volume 3: This is arguably My favorite album of the whole series. I was astounded when I found out about it not to mention when I got it It was released in 1998 which this year marks it's 25th anniversary There was so much going on in that year in Wrestling, Baseball, Boxing, Movies & TV Show, Video Games, Music. It was a remarkable year. I love the Front & Back Covers

The Track Listing is great however I'm always bummed that they chose Dude Love here, they had it on the previous album It was a wasted slot and it could have been somebody else. I have no idea why they did this This has The Phenom's 98 theme and I think it's the best one ever and it's My fav one. I find the X-Pac one funny. Kane & Gangrel are like the best ones here I mean their spooky & goth, who wouldn't love these This version of Ken Shamrock really over powers the previous version. ICP's a bit watered down and Sable's sounds better. You can hear Val Venis' theme being what "Ravishing" Rick Rude was originally intended to be. Really the funnest one of them all is the New Age Outlaws, its just sounds so engaging Quite frankly this album is the funnest of them all to be honest with DX/The Outlaws and the spooky ones it's just feels good overall

1.The Undertaker - 3:36
2. Edge – 3:16
3. X-Pac – 3:11
4. Dude Love – 3:08
5. Kane – 3:12
6. The Rock – 3:14
7. Gangrel / The Brood – 3:43
8. Ken Shamrock – 2:58
9. Oddities (composed and performed by Insane Clown Posse) – 3:40
10. D-Generation X (performed by The Chris Warren Band") - 2:50
11. Sable – 2:55
12. New Age Outlaws – 2:59
13. Val Venis – 3:37
14. Stone Cold Steve Austin - 3:38

Here is the inside of the jewel case, so cool

The booklet unfolds into a massive double-sided Poster with pictures of the wrestlers and notes of the tracks.

On one side of the booklet is a cool subscription offer to subscribe to WWF & Raw Magazine. I was already a loyal subscriber but seeing this was still cool which I really miss these times when magazines was a still a must

Here is the really rad looking CD with lighting bolts and the 1997 Koch Copyright. WWF would be partners with Koch for a long while as they would release many more of the WWF/WWE's albums.

WWF The Music Volume 4: So now we're into the fourth installment of the great WWF Wrestling Theme Series that was released in 1999. This one is really hinting at times changing with technology, the web and all that sort of stuff not to mention new talent stats in the making. This is a mighty fine album. It may not be as fun at the previous but this still has some great moments. This Front & Back Covers are actually precursors to the Wrestlemania 2000 event & Video game graphics with the green & black effects

So the Track Listing is pretty good. Big Show's theme is great and Test's is really cool. My two favorites are D'Lo Brown & Christian,[b] they are just so fun. The [b]SCSA one by H-Blockx is really radical and hilarious, its a darn shame they really didn't focus on this version, it was really one of the best songs that was made for this type of format.

1. "Break Down the Wall" (Chris Jericho)
2. "Big" (The Big Show)
3. "No Chance in Hell" (The Corporation)
4. "Sexual Chocolate" (Mark Henry)
5. "This Is a Test" (Test)
6. "Wreck" (Mankind)
7. "Oh Hell Yeah" (Stone Cold Steve Austin) (performed by H-Blockx)
8. "Danger At the Door" (D'Lo Brown)
9. "Blood Brother" (Christian)
10. "Assman" (Billy Gunn)
11. "Ministry" (The Undertaker)
12. "My Time" (Triple H & Chyna) (performed by Chris Warren)
13. "On the Edge" (Edge)
14. "Know Your Role" (The Rock)

Here's the inside of the jewel case.

The Booklet folds out as a nice Poster. I love that one of Chyna, HHH and her were so darn good together then, such a darn shame he ruined it all Seeing this collage really brings back the way it was done, it was really good then and see if there's anything in wrestling today as good as it was back then.

Here is the CD itself and the 1999 WWF & Koch Copyright.

I skipped getting 2000's WWF Aggression, I wasn't a fan of the majority wrestling themes being songs. I expressed this many times throughout the board. It just kinda ruins the fun of the concept & excitement of instrumental fun. You want rap & metal, go get Ice-T & Metallica albums. I'm fine with it if it's just a little bit like the albums above but not the whole darn thing This trend still remains today in wrestling which it's even worse now because it all sounds the same an downright repetitive that most wrestlers have the same type of theme, it's a very lazy & creative process and it really lowers the standards IMO I took a long hiatus after the demise of WCW & ECW and really only kept up with it via news pages & YouTube. So I kept on thinking that I didn't get I didn't get the 2001 album before to complete the original series when it was still something really special so about in 2010/2011 I bought it on Amazon's Market Place when I really got back into wrestling. This was WWF The Music Volume 5. It's a good one but really it's at the bottom of My list. Here's the front & back covers of the final one that I got of the line

Here is the Track Listing. Really there's only a few I like. Kurt's is actually The Patriot's 97 theme and I **** that as a double with the clueless decision on their part of putting Dude Love's theme on said & shown back to back releases above Its such a tremendous theme, it has one of the best melody's that Johnston ever composed Triple H's theme is pretty darn good, I love the stuff in the line of Metallica so its just fine and I love the guitar. Kane's is superb. Raven's is pretty good and Chyna's is decent but sad. Tazz & Benoit is arguably the best here. Who in the heck greenlit The Rock's "Pie" song much less the whole "pie" concept of the whole album

1. Triple H - "The Game" (performed by Motörhead) (3:29) (sometimes credited to Jim Johnston/Motörhead)
2. K-Kwik - "Rowdy" (performed by K-Kwik) (3:13)
3. Tazz - "If You Dare" (3:23)
4. Lita - "It Just Feels Right" (2:54)
5. Kane - "Out of the Fire" (3:08)
6. Eddie Guerrero - "Latino Heat" (2:50)
7. Billy Gunn - "I've Got It All" (3:26)
8. Raven - "What About Me?" (3:06)
9. Chyna - "Who I Am" (3:09)
10. Kurt Angle - "Medal" (2:52)
11. Rikishi - "Bad Man" (3:14)
12. Chris Benoit - "Shooter" (2:43)
11. Too Cool - "Turn It Up" (3:20)
12. The Rock (featuring Slick Rick) - "Pie" (3:46) (Jim Johnston/Brian Gewirtz/Ricky Walters)

There was going to be more superstar themes going to be present like The Acolytes, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn, Trish Stratus and T&A, Steve Blackman, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, SCSA's Disturbed and The Undertaker's Rollin' but they were all cut due to time restraints & budget reasons. This is the first time in the series that The Phenom & Stone Cold was not selected within the series but of course The Rock wasn't It would have been one deluxe album, way more attractive and a overall better selection of tracks had they went the extra mile

By looking at the jewel case it looks visually stunning as companies were making them clear with the inserts being visible with more options to be had in around was becoming the standard by 2000/2001 because it was becoming a new trend come 98 and I really love this style.

The CD itself looks ok, I so prefer the others way more. Inside without the CD looks fine & dandy and it has a really nice color scheme going on there and could be an excellent background for action figures

This was a Enhanced CD that you put in your PC for galleries and whatnot. It was super fun doing this stuff back then and this was truly when the web was taking over most of everything now. Here is the 2001 Koch, Stephanie Music, SmackDown Records & WWF/Titan Sports Copyright and there's even special thanks to Kevin Dunn of all people

Last but certainly not least is the Booklet. It folds out long ways this time and it basically becomes a double-side wallscape of World Wrestling Federation Superstars. It's really got some swag going on here

So during the great heyday of the Attitude Era, things was really root and branch in 1999. WWF had already put out four volumes of wrestling theme albums since 1996 and WCW hasn't put out nothing. They really weren't doing much with their music despite their themes were just as cool as the competition. I remember way back in 97 they had only a handful of themes to download on their page compared to WWF's AOL library. It was huge for Me in 96 when I first downloaded wrestling themes from AOL but when it came to WCW it was quite bittersweet. They were on AOL too be but it was limited. Still to this day there still isn't a clear & official version of Wrath's 1st theme, that was one of the best ever and I've been searching for it since his debut in 1997 So here comes 99 and WCW announces that they are finally going to have their own despite they had WCW Slam Jam Vol. 1 from 1992 and this new one is called WCW Mayhem The Music and it will coincide with the EA Video Game of the same title I really had no idea how it was going to be but I soon would. Here is the good looking Front & Back covers

There is a big amount of tracks here, 26 of'em but their not all wrestling themes. Many of'em I have no idea why they were even chosen. There could have been so many actual themes here instead but they chose not too. It was really to bring more or an audience for those that's fans of them songs and not wresting to possibly entice then to become a wrestling fan. Nice idea but didn't really work...how many people actually become a fan of something when their told how great something is...I say BUPKIS This is what I was talking about with 2000's WWF Aggression, its just so unattractive with songs that really has no business here when your really wanting themes & themes only. Now I'm not saying there's bad songs here because their not, they quite good. The ones by Megadeth, Metallica, Cypress Hill & Insane Clown Posse were apropos because these were themes for a time because these were used by Goldberg, Sting, Terry Funk & Vampiro, ICP & the Geat Muta during big moments in WCW for a while. Now as for the actual themes it's cool that they included Goldberg & Sting's actual themes as well as Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, DDP, Buff Bagwell and even a bonus of Nitro Girls. The West Texas Rednecks is quite apropos. While I really don't mind the commentary & crowd noise, its really dismaying because they get cut off prematurely which was such a dense decision by whoever made it The Ruff Ryders one is really clever as it's really a WCW heavy rap song. It's amazing how ICP, Kid Rock & Limp Bizkit were all here because all of the stuff they'd do for/in wrestling and ICP was just on the WWF CD from 98 a year prior The album is around 61 minutes, almost twice the length of any of the WWF albums above which like I said I really prefer a longer deluxe album than a standard shorter one. Here is the Track Listing

1.DJ Ran – Make Some Noise (Mayhem Megamix) - 1:11

Here's the inside of the album. Notice the jewel case is clear. See, this type of case was becoming a trend predating WWF The Music Vol.5 seen above...

and when you take the Disc out your greeted by the hot & sweet Nitro Girls. This was a very nice choice that they made here, gosh I miss these times

The Booklet has a bit of pictures here and it folds out really wide...

and it advertises Electronic Art's WCW N64 Video Game as well yet EA isn't credited here, how did WCW or the record company get away with this especially after all of these years

Here is the WCW, Tommy Boy & Mandalay Bay 1993 Copyrights along with other information.

As a special bonus here is the WCW Mayhem The Music with it's counterpart the WCW Mayhem N64 Video Game

So during this year of 1999, WWF & WCW wasn't the only ones putting out wrestling themes on CD. The Beast Records of Simitar Entertainment gave their own crack at re-performing wrestling themes from the current Attitude Era...it was called Slammin' Wrestling Hits I saw it at Our local CD store in South County which I will show you the location in a little while. I saw this over there and My Mom got it for Me, they only had the one and it was Mine I had no idea how it was going to be, is all i know I wanted and knew I would regret it if I had skipped it. It has a very good selection. It's done via Midi-like synthesizers tech, guitars among other electronic musical devices that has a 90s techno sound plus a whistling/crowd like noise/technique in the background that seriously reminds Me of Mike Pizza's Strike Zone for the N64 which is one of My favorite Baseball Video Games of ever, of all-time. The Front & Back covers really caught My attention and I would think it would have most wrestling fans too or even made new ones which I hope it did

I love the sound of these. The nWo, Ken Shamrock & Gangrel ones is arguably My favorites. It was cool about the nWo cause the WCW Mayhem Music Album didn't feature it. Val Venis' is really sweet sounding. Goldust's theme is superb here. Mankind's is great but funny and Sable's is so thrilling. "The Total Package" Lex Luger & "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's themes sounds wonderful here and they weren't on the WCW album so this is such welcomed editions. Arguably the biggest surprise here is Al Snow's theme, it was kinda unexpected and it was done well The CD is about 45 minutes with 15 tracks. It's really tremendous bonus collector's item for any true wrestling fan that appreciate it and it's music

So here is what the inside of this very unique album looks like. The Jewel Case is rather dissimilar compared to all of the ones I have above and quite frankly from any CD Album I have as it's really in a think plastic case and really I like it, I think it's way more durable It looks so darn cool with it's purple, orange & yellow color scheme going on here. The Booklet is offering some items which I'll get to that in a bit.

When you remove the booklet & CD it's all purple revealing some marbleized looking ring ropes

The booklet is really basic, only two pages but inside the booklet is the track & more info as well as an order form to order "Cool Stuff!" as it says...

that "Cool Stuff" is their own X-Large T-Shirt that features their own mascot the "Slammin" Wrestling Character as well as the 1990 Sci-Fi actioner Abraxas starring Jesse "The Body" Ventura. They were only $12.95 each plus only $2.95 Shipping & Handling. Gosh talk about affordable items but I have no idea how many people bought these. I found this strange because Jesse was the Governor of Minnesota...Beast Records of Simitar is in Minnesota...I think there was some collaboration of a business deal going on here I never knew the truth about this because this album was quite obscure then cause info to be limited but now it get's such a bad wrap with people complaining about it how awful it is This is why I really despise society sometimes, everybody monkey see, monkey do, always complaining, never appreciating Abraxas was nearly a decade old by this time, so much in Movies & Wrestling had changed and I bet there wasn't many people thinking about that film then much less than they are now however I'm sure Ventura had a bit to do with this I mean what are the odds of all of this coming into play

Here is a close up of the CD and all of the 1999 Copyrights as well as a nice look at the Beast emblem

So this is CD Warehouse, This where I got Slammin' Wrestling Hits at Believe it or not their still in business even after the P!amDemic! and they are still doing good I believe and with these recent pictures this looks pretty much the same since I was last there a long time ago which is a great thing

I haven't been there in a very long time, probably around 20 years or so now. Me & Mom used to go there a lot cause We loved all of this type of music. I also got Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace Score there as well. 99 was kinda cool. Back then they had good customer service, now I don't know since people seem to be always in a mood and disinterested in subjects and respect now but I hope they remained the same I mean they're still there so they gotta be doing something right I mean their the only one around on planet Earth

They are truly one of the last great music stores you can go to in My area. Best Buy is a bit further down the street there in South County but I haven't been there in ages as well so I guess they still carry music CDs but really I don't think they were ever heavy competition cause they do so much more than music. I really hate to think that the age of musical CDs is just about over thanks to this digital age and people having no interest in music at any time. I mean Red Box & Netflix and the Web completely ruined & wiped out true movie renting and this pathetically androgynous modern day & age has really took the fun out of so much and a lot of it was music and collecting CD albums It's such a great passion of Mine yet society follows suit of the current ways I've done this too digitally however because I have too during certain situations. CD Warehouse is really one of your last remaining stores anywhere that is really old school and I hope the people that is usual customers continue to be and follow the ways of yesteryear
