Hog Wild was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the first in the Road Wild chronology. It took place on August 10, 1996 from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. The event took place on Saturday, instead of taking place on the usual Sunday for pay-per-view events. The event was also notable for being the first pay-per-view event in WCW after the formation of the nWo at the previous month's Bash at the Beach.
In the main event, Hollywood Hogan defeated The Giant to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and spray-painted "nWo" on the title belt after the match. In other notable matches on the card, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) defeated Sting and Lex Luger while Ric Flair, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Harlem Heat retained their United States Heavyweight, World Cruiserweight and World Tag Team Championships respectively.
