6. The WWF Superstars - Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZfMsBitPIQ Two years after the release of The Wrestling Album, the WWF attempted to once again capitalize on their ever-growing success. A sequel album was produced, this time called Piledriver -- named for a track on the record. The second Wrestling Album wasnt as exciting or fun as the original, but it still had its moments. The majority of the record featured the entrance themes of several superstars, however, there were a small number of standout tracks. The aforementioned Piledriver was great for one reason alone, and that was Koko B. Ware. This time around, the Federation was able to find a wrestler who could actually sing, and they found him in Koko. The Birdman sings a rockin tune about the hardships of love. Its incredibly cheesy, but has gone on to become quite iconic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxtCTaCxDUc But thats not the only punch The Wrestling Album II was packing. In a moment that would live on to haunt him, Vince McMahon sings a cover of Stand Back. Then, at the 1987 Slammy Awards, McMahon performed the song live. His terrible dancing and subpar singing are somehow amazing. This may be the most fun Vince McMahon ever had, and its just so ridiculous. Furthermore, nearly the entire roster pantomimes playing instruments in the background. Again, the 80s were an incredible time.
