|  #1 Posted on 2.11.06 1142.24 | Instant Rating: 0.97 | First, here's a link (wwe.com) to the review. Go read this because it's pretty funny. My favorite line has to be '"Lose Control" is probably the catchiest song since Copacabana...'.
Ok, you back? Good, now here's the problem. Why the fuck are they doing this? Granted, it was entertaining seeing Mr. Spears get FU'ed by Cena, but is this how they are paying K-Fed for his appearance on the show... with a 'good review'?
This just seems insane to me. I'd hate to think that someone out here will read that review and say "Damn! I gotta go get me that CD right now!" because as I know wrestling fans... there will be someone who does... and I will weep for them.| Promote this thread! |           | JustinShapiro

It's ... a joke. But why wouldn't WWE promote the album? It's exactly why they were working together. It's not like they brought him in as a supercool dude who teamed up with Cena and all the announcers and babyfaces endorsed his music as being totally great.
This just seems insane to me.

What's great is the All Music Guide (allmusic.com) review of the album ...
I especially love the following quote regarding Kevin Federline (I refuse to call him "K-Fed").

And that's really what Federline is: the guy in your life that you wish would just quietly disappear, but he won't, since he's married into your family and you're now stuck with him.

Also, wasn't the WWE article written in kayfabe?

Couldn't they just give it no stars? It should be noted, however, they gave the Duran Duran cover album just the one star, so... Although I'll wager this was another classic line from the review (even if it once again ignores the Carlos Leon (!) reference):

Cena's album was actually surprisingly lyrical (his guest artist's too.) The beats weren't half bad either.
It says so right here in the wcw handbook! |
