WrestleMania: The Album[2] is the third studio album by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was released in 1993 by Arista Records and RCA Records.

Mike Stock and Pete Waterman (of Britain's famed Stock Aitken Waterman songwriting team) oversaw the project as producers and co-composers for RCA Records, with British A&R executive Simon Cowell serving as the executive producer.[3] The album failed to chart on the US Billboard 200 but reached #10 in the UK.[4] The single "Slam Jam" was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry in the United Kingdom and reached number four in the UK charts in December 1992.[5]

Notes[edit]

  1. An instrumental version of "WrestleMania" was used as the theme song for WrestleManias X (1994) through XIV (1998). It was also later used as Linda McMahon's entrance music.
  2. Samples the percussion and a very similar bass beat from "Visions of China" by Japan, as well as "Nasty" by Janet Jackson.
  3. Incorporates elements from the wrestler's entrance music.
