As dmmd98 said, this event was known as "The Big Event". For those that want to see the Hogan/Wonderful match from this event, it's on both of Hogan's DVD's released through WWE.
64,000 people showed up, which was unheard of for wrestling at the time (at least until Wrestlemania III).

This event was held at the now-torn down Exibition Stadium in Toronto...the former home of the Toronto Blue Gays, I mean, Jays.

That was the event where some hooligans threw chairs and beer bottles. It was rowdy.

@damron13 I was born in July 26, 1986 - so I was very little back then.

I think I was at that show at the CNE. I had made a Paul Orndorff banner illustrating him pile driving Hogan.

Great clip. The big event took part in 1986 in case you want to edit that.
