For a period of my life, this was my all-time favourite album. I was huge into wrestling, and felt nearly giddy that the WWF had released an album made up of actual songs, rather than 30-second loops of Jim Johnston's entrance themes.

Now, I see that it's a lot more hit-and-miss, with most of the songs losing much of their appeal after 7 or 8 years, and me no longer being a teenage boy. Even then, though, I had the sense to be able to recognize the garbage tracks: namely the Kid Rock cover of ZZ Top's "Legs". It sucked then, and it sucks now. Similarly, Cypress Hill's take on Tazz's entrance theme: "Just Another Victim" is a borderline decent song that is further ruined by the inclusion of sound bites from WWF events. The song loses whatever credibility it had when you hear Michael Cole's remixed voice describing Tazz's, saying things like "Tazz hates everyone... even himself."

There are certainly some more redeemable tracks on here (as evidenced by their 4-star ranking), albeit in sanitized, censored versions.

Most of the songs on this album were chosen as entrance themes because of their recognizable sound. They give identity to the wrestler, and help pump up the crowd for their appearance. Being a good song doesn't really matter, as long as there is a good minutes worth of music that can be edited into an effective loop. It would appear, based on this album, that you don't need a whole lot to work with to make that happen.
