 Not The Volume 2 You're Thinking Of... August 1, 2004
Shadow Fire Promotions, Inc. "Your Chicago Source For Wrestling" (TM) (Chicago, IL United States)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'll start by stating what was previously stated. This is NOT the same "WWF Volume 2" that you bought in the store in 1997. This is an imported CD from Austria, and not even close to the same disc.
Obviously, there are several cosmetic differences, such as the cover art, and the inclusion of a Tammy "Sunny" Sytch poster and a sheet of stickers featuring five of the WWF's top stars in 1997, Sid Vicious (WWF Champion from Jan-March 1997, Steve Austin had yet to be a main eventer on his own.), Bret Hart (who was feuding with Austin at this time, his classic WrestleMania match with Hart was one of the things that truly established him as main event material on his own, and began his babyface turn at the same time it established Hart's anti-American heel role.), Undertaker (who would reclaim the WWF Championship from Sid at WrestleMania), Shawn Michaels (who Sid had won the WWF Championship from at the Royal Rumble), and of course, Sunny. During 1997, the role of manager/valet was becoming very limited, and Sunny was mainly used for goodwill purposes, modeling WWF merchandise, and occaisional guest appearances on WWF programming.
The actual title of this album is "Hits of the World Wrestling Federation: We Gotta Wrestle". Why it is called "vol. 2" or "WWF X-Press" is unknown, since those phrases are not used anywhere on the actual album.
The track listing is slightly different, as well, with Ken Shamrock's elimination (he wasn't a real big part of the WWF picture at this point), and the inclusion of a second Jake Roberts theme. At this point in 1997, Jake wasn't a real big part of the WWF picture, either, so it's unkown why he was included on this album, unless you consider he has more name value overseas due to his big run in the 1980's WWF. Another curious thing is that while several of the songs on this album weren't the actual theme songs used by the wrestlers, Jake never really had "distinct" entrance music, so again, it is curious why he was included on this album.
The majority of the songs that ARE included on the WWF: The Music Vol. 2, are actually different on this album. Call them alternate versions. Some are longer, some shorter, some different. Case in point, the Shawn Michaels song, "Bad Attitude" has been used in the past on WWF television (one of Shawn's music videos), but Shawn's primary theme continues to be the more well-known "Sexy Boy" (at least this one doesn't have Sherri Martel on vocals!).
Faarooq's theme song, "Nation of Domination", has the long-awaited rap from the USWA Memphis tag team, PG-13 (Jamie Dundee aka JC ICE and Wolfie D) that was never seen on any other version of Faarooq's theme.
Also markedly different as well is Sid's music, Rocky Maivia (and boy is it a hoot to see him in his old get-up he wore during his very first babyface run, prior to his first heel turn when he joined the Nation. I can almost hear the chants of "Die, Rocky, Die" in the background!).
Also, NONE of these songs appeared on WWE Anthology, so it's definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended.
 THE TRUTH ABOUT WE GOTTA WRESTLE!! March 26, 2003

I've seen alot of reviews for this CD, but never a completely accurate one. First of all, it's NOT the same as WWF Volume 2.
Here is the TRUE LIST of differences between the 2 CDs.
(1) There is no Ken Shamrock or Dude love Theme. (2) Ahmed Johnson (pearl river rip) is 2:43 long on this CD. on volume 2, it was 3:16 long. (3) jake 'the snake' roberts (snake) is on this cd. it is NOT on wwf volume 2. (4) Faarooq (nation of domination) is the ORIGINAL VERSION WITH RAP LYRICS, not just the instrumental from WWF Volume 2. (5) Rocky Maivia (destiny) is the song used by Rocky BEFORE the WWF Volume 2 song. it is completely different and should not even have the same name as the one on Volume 2. (6) Flash Funk (can't get enough) does not have the "oh flash you are so funky" intro. other than that, it's the same. (7) Sunny (i know you want me) is the original version used by Sunny BEFORE WWF volume 2. it makes the volume 2 version look more like a REmix. (8) shawn michaels (bad attitude) is here, but NOT on WWF volume 2. it is song he used for a short time in 1997. THERE YOU HAVE IT!! I hope that EVERYBODY has a clear view of this CD now. It's about time :-) as far as my credibility here, I own both CDs so this is ACCURACY AT IT'S FINEST. Now you can decide for yourself if it's worth the buy. I give it 5 stars. I LOVE IT.

This CD is the same as WWF We gotta wrestle. Not to forget, it is the same as WWF THE MUSICS VOL.2 only has Jake The Snake Roberts Theme by removing Ken Shamrocks Theme.
