Summary

For a brief time during the New Generation era the WWF tried a new way to grab new fans. They went to the most consumable medium of the time, syndicated radio. Radio WWF was a short lived experiment bringing a hybrid of kayfabe story line driven materials, off-the-cuff comedy, backstage insider puns and actually talk about other wrestling promotions. But where did you actually get to listen to these shows? That is the main question. We look at where exactly Radio WWF was broadcast, how you could hear it and if anyone actually heard it. Jim Ross, Gorilla Monsoon, Vince McMahon and more brought to life this oddity of wrestling lost media that may never actually see the light of day ever again.

1:16.4

The Steiner brothers got in, and although they had a very small and very, I guess,

1:20.2

simplified speech, nonetheless, they got in.

1:23.6

I'd say they would be the perfect Hall of Fame to represent the new generation.
