Radio WWF 4/30/94. One of the many staple callers that almost never missed a week was a very entertaining (and likely high) "Rock & Roll" Joe from Utica, who would greet everyone with a big "Rock & Roll" at the beginning of his calls. Bonus here is Vince McMahon hosting!

For years I've put over my memories of Radio WWF and the 2 hours of comedy that typically ensued after Jim Ross left the company in early 1994. Johnny Polo & Stan Lane slowly became the fixtures & I was glued every Sat. night. Here's an excerpt from the show intro 7/23/94. A taste of things to come.

The Wrestling Memory Grenade 🎙 @rasslingrenade.bsky.social · 7d

Well, well, what did I find? Went diving for some old cords and stumbled upon a bag of Radio WWF cassettes. Some of my original recordings from March - August 1994! I'll convert some to digital to share. P.S. Don't mind the old rushed handwriting (it hasn't gotten any better)
