Show Notes
One of the most requested topics for New Generation Declassified is the WWF's Saturday morning USA Network show beginning in late 1996, WWF Livewire. Ahead of its time by a good measure, Livewire broke the 4th wall of pro wrestling TV during a time where WCW and ECW were starting to gain a "cooler" edge on the more campy WWF product. This look back at Livewire gives some great insight to the concept that may have changed the programming style of the World Wrestling Federation forever.
