WWF All-Star Wrestling was a World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television show which consisted of top-tier or mid-card talent defeating enhancement talent (jobbers) and at times a "feature" match between main WWF talent.
The show was taped at the Hamburg Fieldhouse in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
All-Star Wrestling ran from October 2, 1971 through August 30, 1986, after which it was replaced by the new program Wrestling Challenge on the week of September 6. Challenge was the "B" show of the WWF's syndicated programming, behind Superstars.
Typically, the show featured matches narrated by Vince McMahon with occasional assistance from Lord Alfred Hayes and Pat Patterson; it was later hosted by Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura.
From 1984 to 1986, the theme of All-Star Wrestling was an instrumental portion of David Bowie's "Modern Love".
