WrestleRock was a wrestling event promoted by the American Wrestling Association.
The event was held at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 20, 1986[1]. The card was heavily promoted for months during weekly television programming. Although not as ambitious as the WWF's WrestleMania 2, The show was a reasonable success, drawing more fans than both of Jim Crockett Promotions' Crockett Cup shows combined.
The show also featurted Country Music Legend Waylon Jennings performing a brief concert following the final match. WrestleRock would prove to be the final stadium show for the AWA.
The promotions for the show included a music video shot in Las Vegas entitled the "WrestleRock Rumble" in a vein similar to The Super Bowl Shuffle from earlier that year. It featured different AWA talent "rapping" verses, including 60 year old Verne Gagne reading his verse off a sheet.
