[edit] Notes

• Kane's theme, "Out of the Fire," is a redone version of the Volume 3 track "Burned."
• Tazz's theme contains the longer intro he used briefly when he entered the WWE.
• Rikishi's Theme is not the exact same one he used during his heel run. The real theme can be heard on WWE videogames from that time period such as WWF RAW on Xbox.
• Motörhead prematurely released Triple H's theme to the internet within weeks of it first being heard on television. Their version had clacking drum sticks in the opening seconds. This version was included on their 2002 album Hammered
• Kurt Angle's theme was not originally entitled 'Medal'. It had previously been used as a tempory theme tune for babyface (good guy) American wrestlers like The Patriot and Sgt. Slaughter.
• The track 'Pie' was never intended for use as a theme song, and was not used to launch The Rock's singing career as was rumoured at the time of the album's release.
• A different version of 'Rowdy' was set to appear on the CD. The alternate version was used as the theme tune for K-Kwik and Road Dogg when they were a tag team, and featured Road Dogg (Brian James) on vocals too. Shortly before the CD's release, Road Dogg was released from the company.
• Too Cool member Grandmaster Sexay (Brian Christopher Lawler) was also released from the company at the same time as Road Dogg, but it was considered too late to change the publicity from 'Too Cool' to 'Scotty II Hotty' (Scott Taylor).
• 'Turn It Up' featured as Rikishi's theme tune for a time when he reformed 'Too Cool' with 'Scotty 2 Hotty'. Some computer games still used it as Rikishi's theme, even when it was not.
• When Grandmaster Sexay returned to the WWE for a short-time, he continued to use 'Turn It Up' as his singles theme. He used the same theme in his father's Memphis Championship Wrestling.
