WWF Xperience was an iPPV (Internet pay-per-view) aired on August 24th, 1996, in Toronto, Canada. It was only available online and was not broadcasted on TV. During this time, the Internet was still young, and it would have taken a long time to download the show. The show was most likely available from the WWF website, which was not that old at the time. Only one recording of a match exists; it was recorded by a fan in the arena, the recording is a match between Shawn Michaels and Goldust (Dustin Rhodes). Clips from the match would also air on Raw the Monday after the PPV.

Availability

On October 25th, 2017, the event was uploaded to YouTube by The Wrestling Collector, marking the first time it has been seen publicly since 1996. The footage has since been taken off YouTube due to The Wrestling Collector's multiple copyright infringement claims, but a mirror of the video has since been uploaded to archive.org.
