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
  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. The Nasty Boys Stomp borrowed the percussion and a very similar bass beat from the song "Visions of China" by Japan as well as "Nasty" by Janet Jackson.
  3. Incorporated elements from the wrestler's entrance music.
