"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."
