Road Wild

Road Wild was a professional wrestling pay-per-view from World Championship Wrestling (WCW) that was held from 1996 to 1999. It was a free event held in Sturgis, South Dakota during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.[1] 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.
