25 Strangest Places In Which Pro-Wrestling Has Taken Place: Part 2 (15-1)

#4 A Battleship

The day after Independence Day 1993, WWE (then WWF) aired an episode of Monday Night Raw from the permanently-docked USS Intrepid in New York City in order to celebrate America's belated birthday. By far the most famous segment during the show was the Yokozuna Bodyslam Challenge where a number of wrestlers and guest NBA/NFL athletes attempted to be the first to lift then-WWF champion Yokozuna and slam him as a tribute to their country.

Naturally, this role would, of course, be given to the All-American bodybuilder Lex Luger whose thinly-veiled xenophobic promo before slamming the not-so-Japanese Sumo wrestler might seem excessive in 2018, but was perfect for yielding high-fives and nationalistic pride among the ecstatic crowd in attendance in 1993.
