2LP, red and yellow colored vinyl featuring The Wrestling Album and Piledriver: The Wrestling Album 2, originally released by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1985 and 1987. The Wrestling Album was the first album released by the WWF, featuring mostly theme music of wrestlers on the roster. In 1985 an unknown Canadian band called Piledriver burst onto the metal scene, with an over-the-top image, tacky lyrics ('Sex With Satan', 'Alien Rape'), but also a surprisingly well-executed power/thrash style. 'Metal Inquisition' was just plain great fun to listen to, one of those guilty pleasures that one could both smile at and headbang to at the same time. Some time later, the followup, 'Stay Ugly', appeared, and was quite a disappointment, as the production and songwriting were both below average, and the style had shifted a bit toward messy thrash. The band soon disappeared without a trace.
