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.[2] 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.
