was a syndicated weekly World Wrestling Federation show that aired from 1986 to 1996.
was the "B" show of the WWF's syndicated programming, behind WWF Superstars of Wrestling. The show was typical of televised wrestling fare of the era: Matches pitting top tier and mid-level talent vs. jobbers; pretaped interviews with the WWF's roster of superstars; and promos featuring the wrestlers. At times, there was a "feature" match between main WWF talent.
Title changes
While most angles and title changes happened on Superstars (and, starting in 1993, Monday Night RAW), Wrestling Challenge got one title change in October 1992 – when Money Inc. defeated The Natural Disasters for the WWF Tag Team Championship (taped October 13, 1992).
Interview segments
When Challenge debuted so too did The Snake Pit, an interview segment, modeled after Piper's Pit, hosted by Jake "The Snake" Roberts. However, it wasn't long after the final Piper's Pit had aired on Superstars, that The Snake Pit was moved to that show. Wrestling Challenge also featured the early weeks of The Brother Love Show. This segment, which debuted in the summer of 1988, was quickly switched to Superstars. Additionally in 1991, The Barber Shop debuted with host Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. In January 1992, that segment saw Shawn Michaels turn heel on his tag team partner, Marty Jannetty, by throwing him through the plate-glass window. This was the beginning of Michaels' singles run, which would eventually see him become one of the biggest stars for the company during the 1990s.
Highlight packages
While the "B" show in the WWF's lineup of programs, Wrestling Challenge frequently replayed highlights from WWF Superstars (such as developments in major storylines), so as to provide Challenge viewers with the context behind a current feud or angle.
