1. WCW Hog/Road Wild
Remarkably similar to the 1995 Bash At The Beach premise, WCW decided to stage Hog Wild, a curiously-named PPV which would take place each year from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. Following the first show, WCW changed the name of the event to Road Wild, likely due to pressure from Harley-Davidson over trademark issues. Again, plaudits for uniqueness, Hog/Road Wild felt very different to any other wrestling show out there, but that wasn't always for the best. For a start, at least the non-paying customers at Bash At The Beach had largely been fans of professional wrestling. In Sturgis, few of the bikers there for the show knew anything about wrestling, and thus a lot of the matches played before apathy. Motorcycles were revved up routinely, babyfaces were boo'd on occasion and heels were cheered, the normal rules of a wrestling show didn't apply. Little more than a show conceptualised by Eric Bischoff because of his love of motorcycles, Road Wild was abandoned after 1999, replaced in 2000 by New Blood Rising.
