#2 WCW Road Wild

WCW held four Road Wild events. Beginning in 1996 under the name Hog Wild, and running through 1999.

The events happened simply because Bischoff loves motorbikes and no other reason. It is incredible that they staged four of these events because each and every Road Wild pay-per-view was a financial blunder. The entire audience for each was a motorcyclist who gained free entry into the event. You take that, production costs, talent costs and bringing in special attractions like Dennis Rodman and Jay Leno to compete, and all you are left with is the pay-per-view buys.

While Road Wild shows most happened during WCW's better years, they still never turned a profit on any of them. Most are also not looked back on very fondly by fans. They've received a mixed to negative reaction from critics, while the biggest annoyance from fans was the motorists revving up their engines every few minutes.
