The August 30, 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 the final episode of WWF Championship Wrestling, whose run had started in 1972. The following weekend, a revamped show, WWF Superstars of Wrestling, would debut, primarily in the same markets and time spots as Championship Wrestling. The matches seen in this episode were part of the final taping at Poughkeepsie, New York's Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
The final Championship Wrestling featured the coronation ceremony of "Handsome" Harley Race as the new "King" of the WWF. Race had won a (non-televised) "King of the Ring" tournament and -- in part a move by the WWF to honor Race for his contributions to the sport of professional wrestling -- was given the nominal title of "King."
