2009

Wadewitz was the "Voice of the Wisconsin Wolfpack," handling play-by-play duties for the professional indoor team in the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) in 2009 and 2010. He was named Director of Communications in January 2010. The team announced it wouldn't return for the 2011 season in January 2011.

Wadewitz received the Public Relations and Media Relations Director of the Year award from the NAFL on December 14, 2009.

In 2009, the effort was mentioned on the Mental Floss website in an article about nine fan sports protests that stood out. Writer Scott Allen, in placing the MLB Fan Strike effort at number six on his list, said, "The protest was perhaps the most organized in the history of baseball, thanks to the advent of the Internet, but the boycott didn’t exactly go as planned."

2008

In 2008, Wadewitz helped the Racine Raiders become the first minor league football team ever to have a website dedicated solely to recruiting (http://playfortheraiders.com).

Wadewitz was hired as the Media Relations Director for the North American Football League (NAFL) in February 2008. He served in the position throughout the 2008 season. The NAFL is the largest football league in the country, with over 120 member teams that compete in a national playoff tournament.

2006

Wadewitz convinced the team to go to a three-person radio broadcast in 2006, with him handling the sideline reporting, when he wasn't doing the play-by-play. Fans reacted very positively to the new setup and the Raiders are now the only team in the North American Football League (NAFL) to offer sideline reporting during their radio broadcasts. The three-man broadcast crew was named the Best Sports Broadcast Team in the Racine Journal Times Best of Racine County in 2007. Wadewitz has served as the sideline reporter, color commentator and play-by-play person for Raiders' broadcasts.

2005

In 2005, Wadewitz recommended the team begin broadcasting games online, in addition to the broadcasts on WRJN. The Raiders signed a contract with Broadcast Monsters late in the season to test fan interest in Internet broadcasts. Fans responded to the new service well and the Raiders began broadcasting all of their games online in 2006.

Once again, fees became too much and the trio didn't want to charge fees to listen to XROXX so they shut down shop again in 2005.

2004

After the dust had settled from legal battles over Internet radio, the trio tried to bring XROXX back in 2004. They relaunched on February 14 again and had instant success. The team started out small with 50 connections to the stream and increased their bandwidth as it became regularly maxed out. In just a month, they had tripled their listenership. XROXX LLC released two compilation CDs during the second incarnation. The first, XROXX Rocks! Volume 1, featured all United States bands. The second, XROXX Rocks! Volume 2, featured bands from across the globe. Volume 1 had a print-run of 2,500 copies and Volume 2 had a run of 3,500 copies. Volume 1 is now out of circulation.

2003

Wadewitz joined the Racine Raiders in January 2003 as the team's Marketing Director.

2002

Gary Suhr, the longtime play-by-play person for the Raiders retired in 2002, opening the door for Wadewitz to begin broadcasting Racine Raiders games on AM 1400 WRJN in Racine, Wisconsin. He handled the play-by-play part-time, when the main announcer couldn't attend games.

While still in college, Wadewitz was approached by his friend Scott Hanson, and asked to be a partner in a business venture. The venture was an online music station and electronic magazine called XROXX. Wadewitz agreed and Hanson, Wadewitz and Paul Gaumond began XROXX LLC. XROXX officially launched on February 14, 2002.

The station mostly played music by independent punk, ska and emo bands. Within the first four months, XROXX had shot into the Shoutcast Top 50 rankings and became the number one punk/ska Internet radio station. New Internet fees for webcasters became too much for the college students to handle and they pulled XROXX off the Internet in August 2002.

On May 15, 2002, Wadewitz started a small protest website, MLB Fan Strike, after Bill Michaels, a sports talk show host on AM 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee, suggested someone should start a website protesting a potential strike by Major League Baseball players or a lockout by the owners. The website, mlbfanstrike.com, launched on May 19, 2002.
