August 23, 1986 WWF Championship Wrestling results

The August 16, 1986 Edition of WWF Championship Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of the World Wrestling Federation, which took place on August 5, 1986 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center at Poughkeepsie, New York.

This episode was part of the final tapings of Championship Wrestling and of WWF programs at Poughkeepsie, New York's Mid-Hudson Civic Center. House shows would occasionally take place thereafter.

This final set of tapings featured the in-ring return of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who had previously been a heel. By this appearance, Piper was wildly cheered in his match against AJ Petruzzi, which Piper wrestled (almost) in its entirety with one hand tied behind his back. Piper then made a return visit to "The Flower Shop" to insult the host, "Adorable" Adrian Adonis, and his guests, specifically Slick.
