Various - The Wrestling Album
Review by Betty Gelean
The Wrestling Album, a compilation album featuring various wrestlers, was released in 1985. The album showcases the talents of wrestlers who were also musicians, including "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan. The album features a mix of rock and pop songs, with lyrics that are both humorous and serious.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Real American," performed by Hulk Hogan. The song became Hogan's entrance music and remains one of the most iconic wrestling theme songs of all time. Another memorable track is "Girls in Cars" by Robbie Dupree, which features the catchy chorus, "Girls in cars, what a combination."

Summary by Betty Gelean
Comments
Hulk Hogan The greatest wwf/wwe champ ever no debate on this just like ric flair the greatest wcw champ or nwa champ.
RIP Jim Steinman
RIP Jim Steinman.
What is being chanted?
this is not the hulk hogan theme
Hogan should of stuck with this song, the beat is amazing, sounds heroic, imagine the crowd chanting HULK in time with the song as he made his way to the ring.
I lived in a country in latin america years ago. It suffered through the influence of communism to say the least. I asked my relatives an out of the blue question one evening about WWF and Hulkamania. Their response translated from spanish was " Those motherfucking awesome gringos!" They even knew about it! I got inspired about life that day.
Better than real american imo
Has a more Eye of the Tiger feel to it, cool jam!
This theme is way better sounding than Real american.
Awesome theme!.
Didn't Hulk use this entrance theme at the first Wrestlemania? I remember him using Eye of the Tiger when he first returned to the WWF and won the title from the Iron Sheik before this became his theme. So Real American was actually his third theme song, how about that?
He should return with this ?
This is my favorite theme.
This is the sound of hulkamania running wild on gawker!
is it weird that when I hear my brain immediately goes "this sounds like a Street Fighter theme" ?
hey I love REAL American as much as anyone but I've said for years this song was bad ass! plus it's the cartoon theme lol.
If Jim Steinman will let them, they really should repackage this music for someone else on the roster. I think it'd get over.
FACK!!! FACK!!!
