WCW Hog Wild
The 1996 Hog Wild was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the first in the Road Wild chronology. It took place on August 10, 1996, from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota in the United States. The event took place on a Saturday instead of the Sunday more typical for pay-per-view events.
The event was notable for being the first pay-per-view event in WCW after the formation of the New World Order stable at the previous month's Bash at the Beach. In the main event, Hollywood Hogan defeated The Giant to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and spray-painted "nWo" on the title belt after the match. In other matches on the card, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) defeated Sting and Lex Luger while Ric Flair, Rey Misterio Jr. and Harlem Heat retained their United States Heavyweight, Cruiserweight and World Tag Team Championships respectively.
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The opening bout was a tag team match in which The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge) defeated Rough and Ready (Dick Slater and Mike Enos). This match and the seven following matches aired on WCW Saturday Night prior to the pay-per-view broadcast.
The second bout was a singles match between Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Konnan. Konnan won the bout by pinfall after performing Splash Mountain on Guerrero Jr.
The third bout was a tag team match pitting High Voltage (Kenny Kaos and Robbie Rage) against The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags). The match was won by the Nasty Boys.
The fourth bout was a singles match between Alex Wright and Earl Robert Eaton. Wright won the bout by pinfall using a body press.
The fifth bout was a six-man tag team match pitting The Dungeon of Doom (The Barbarian, Meng, and The Taskmaster) against the makeshift team of Jim Powers, Joe Gomez, and Mark Starr. The bout was won by the Dungeon of Doom.
