Hulk Hogan vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper (Jun 1984 – Mar 1985)

Roddy Piper's contempt for the WWF's new MTV-driven Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection escalated from talk-show insults into an assault on Cyndi Lauper, pulling in champion Hulk Hogan and building to the first WrestleMania, a closed-circuit show Vince McMahon called the biggest gamble of his career.
