WWE on the radio?

[Himmy!]

Hey guys,

I was watching Wrestlemania 9 earlier and Jim Ross said something that interested me during the main event when Bret Hart was walking to the ring.

"The millions of fans watching at home and listening on the radio"

First off is the WWE still on the radio in the US?

And is there anyone old enough that actually remembers listening to it on the radio, if so, what was it like?

It interested me especially in regards to WM9, because I was wondering if they used the same commentators or not because Ross/Savage/Heenan seemed all over the place at points of that event and that'd make it very difficult for people listening to get the picture.

It's true. Local media in some markets used to air big events on the radio. I wish they still did, that would be awesome.

Ross was then made host of Radio WWF, alongside Gorilla Monsoon (the man he replaced at WrestleMania), which lasted under a year. In this role, Ross was joined by co-hosts such as Johnny Polo, and talked to various WWF Superstars and fans. Ross and Monsoon called SummerSlam and the Survivor Series at the end of 1993 and the Royal Rumble for Radio WWF.

Pretty interesting, can't ever imagine listening to WWE on the radio.

Imagine if Striker were to host something like that...people scrolling through the stations would be dumbfounded as to why there's a station with nothing but '80s song references nonstop.

^ lol. Good one.

I get excited just hearing Wrestlemania and Summerslam commercials on the radio.

Ross used to do a weekend "Wrestling with Jim Ross" Radio on AM 750 WSB out of Atlanta in his WCW days, he continued that show even a bit after he started with the WWF
