Road Wild
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hog Wild)
Road Wild was a professional wrestling pay-per-view from World Championship Wrestling that was held from 1996 to 1999. It was held in Sturgis, South Dakota during the annual Sturgis Motorcyle Rally. The first show was called Hog Wild but WCW changed the name to Road Wild because of a potential trademark issue with a Harley-Davidson owners group. In 2000, it was replaced by New Blood Rising. Hulk Hogan was in the main event of every edition.
