The Wrestling Classic
The Wrestling Classic was a 1985 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on November 7, 1985, at the Rosemont Horizon in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. It was the promotion's second-ever pay-per-view, after WrestleMania earlier that year in March. In the main event, WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan defeated "Rowdy" Roddy Piper by disqualification to retain the title. The undercard featured a 16-man tournament, where The Junkyard Dog defeated Randy "Macho Man " Savage in the final. The event also included a fan competition for a Rolls-Royce. Retrospective reviews of The Wrestling Classic have been generally mixed, with negative opinions being directed towards the large number of matches and lack of stakes, though some enjoyed the tournament framing of the event. Additionally, many of the matches featuring Savage and Ricky Steamboat were noted as highlights of the event.
