10 New Generation-Era WWE Stars You Totally Don't Remember

5. Rad Radford

Grunge was pretty fashionable in the early 1990s. Nirvana spearheaded a mainstream musical revolution that saw c*ck-rock forced underground and bands as fantastic yet clearly alternative as The Melvins and Tad become MTV stars. I say stars: Kurt Cobain spoke about them now and then and major labels signed them. All of these lumberjack shirts that are so fashionable now first became cool, and then uncool as cool paradox kicked into gear.

Words like 'rad' and 'gnarly' became commonplace, so when Louie Spicolli signed with WWF in 1995 it obviously made perfect sense to package him as a grunge guy called Rad Radford. The story was that he was Courtney Love's boyfriend (a play on his previous AAA gimmick as 'Madonna's Boyfriend'), and he dearly wanted to join the Bodydonnas.

The only good thing to come out ofthe Bodydonnas is Sunny, so one can make various assumptions about Radford's role with the team. Rad Radford lasted less than a year on WWF TV before he was released following a Soma overdose. It was an unsuccessful tenure for Spicolli, albeit one tht saw him defeat Matt Hardy, Jerry Lynn and Jeff Hardy on TV.
