Flyin' Brian Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Working on cleaning up my office, found some old cassettes (yes, I'm old) of Hulk Hogan: Hulk Rules and WCW Mayhem: The Music. I have Macho Man's Be A Man CD and the WWE Anthology three disk set. What have you guys got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Did you purchase "Be A Man"? When it first came out, I remember reading that it only sold 500 copies. Are you one of those 500?Full disclosure, I may unknowingly have some WWE level revisionist history at play here. WWF Full Metal was my first wrestling related album purchase. During the late 90's boom anything related to wrestling was picked up. So all of the WWF released and even a knock off cd that I thought was a licensed combination of WCW, ECW, and WWF -- it was a long and disappointing lunch that afternoon. I have physical albums in my collections, but none of them pro wrestling related. I usually satisfy my pro wrestling sonic fix using Spotify. I find the majority of the new WWE songs to sound too much like ringtones, so I mainly lean old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Enthusiast Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Is Hulk Rules the one with Hulkster in Heaven? I had that one on CD. Dope fucking jam. I had all the WWF The Music releases for a few years. I think Volume 2 was the best one. I think I got the knock-off one mentioned above, too. Had covers of ECW themes and stuff. Like Monster Magnet playing Enter Sandman or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Pretty much have all of WWF The Music as well as the WCW Mayhem: The Music. However, my uncle used to have The Wrestling Album and I'd listen to it with him all the time when I was a kid. "Land of a Thousand Dances" will always have a soft spot in my heart.

CarpetCrawler Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 For awhile there I was trying to collect all media related to The Wrestling Album that I possibly could. I have the album as well as every single released off of the album, as well as the CD version. Just need the cassette and I'll be set. For some reason they released singles for not just Land of 1,000 Dances, but Grab Them Cakes and Don't Go Messin' with a Country Boy as well. Otherwise mostly scattered random CDs including The Anthology Collection and random WWF The Music volumes. For my favorite thing in the entire world, I do own one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Yes, I was one of the 500. lol It was cheap and I was curious. My friends and I had a pretty good laugh at the time, but that's about it. There wasn't anything on there I would call good. Several of the tracks were Macho Man doing his best Lil Jon impression. I listened to a couple of songs last night and my opinion is pretty much still the same. Did you purchase "Be A Man"? When it first came out, I remember reading that it only sold 500 copies.

Flyin' Brian Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Yep, Hulkster in Heaven is on there. American Made, Hulk's WCW theme before the NWO, is on there too. I always thought some American company should use that for a commercial jingle. Is Hulk Rules the one with Hulkster in Heaven? I had that one on CD.

Flyin' Brian Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 One track on Be A Man was supposedly lifted by Justin Timberlake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 For years, the pride of my record collection was a 12" single of Fred Blassie's "Pencil Neck Geek." Best wrestling song ever, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 None. I did tape "With my baby tonight" on a cassette back in the days. Oh, fuck you, it's a cult favourite in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 All i've got are the two wrestling albums, WWF The music 3 & 4, and Forceable Entry. I did download selected tracks from Full Metal (Thorn in your Eye, We're All Together Now, Sexy Boy, and the digital "bonus track", Broken Dreams). Did anyone ever have those theme music tapes the wwf fan club put out back in the day? I used to consider joining up just for those tapes.
