WCW returns to Sturgis under an ever-so-slightly different name for Road Wild 1997 (though no one told Michael Buffer about the name change, apparently). Tonight, Hogan challenges for the world title, Ric Flair battles an up-and-coming Cruiserweight in the midcard, the Outsiders have a tag match just before the main event...wait, didn't all this stuff happen last year? Let's see...uh, road trips, spraypainting the title, helicopter footage, Tony-Bobby-Dusty... This...this *is* a new show, right? Right? To find out...Let's Go to the Ring!

Episode 47: Road Wild 1998

Join us monthly as we look through the good old days - and not-so-good old days - of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), series by series, to figure out what makes each of WCW's shows tick. Just what defines Starrcade, and what defines Halloween Havoc? WCW may have gone out of business years ago, but it will never lose its place in wrestling history, and its position as the one true competitor to the WWF may never be replicated. Together, let's take a look through it and enjoy the highs, lows, and strange decisions along the way.
