Hog Wild took place on August 10, 1996 from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. The video cover featured Hulk Hogan in his Hulkster pose despite the fact that he joined the nWo one month prior and began being billed as Hollywood. The first 8 matches aired on WCW Saturday Night on TBS. This event happened on a Saturday, instead of the normal Sunday night.
