Disadvantages: None

...The Jazz Singer is the album from Neil Diamond which was the soundtrack to the remake of "The Jazz Singer", originally done for the "big screen" by Al Jolson.

Advantages: Official WWF Entrance themes
Disadvantages: -

...The Official Music CD of the WWF; The latest edition of which is called volume 5 and hosts some of the songs used as entrance themes by the superstars themselves.

Here is a listing of the tracks... 1. The Game - HHH 2. Rowdy - K-Kwik 3. If you dare - Tazz 4. It just feels right - Lita 5. Out of the Fire - Kane 6. Latino heat - Eddie Guerrero 7. I've got it all - Billy Gunn 8. What about me? - Raven 9. Who I am - Chyna 10. Medal - Kurt Angle 11. Bad Man - Rikishi 12. Shooter - Chris Benoit 13. Turn it up - Too Cool 14. Pie - The Rock So as you can see there are 14 tracks; all which last around 3 minutes and total around 40... Read review
