Rodman wrestled a few matches for World Championship Wrestling and was a member of the nWo with Hulk Hogan, a friend of his. His first match was at the July 1997 Bash at the Beach event where he teamed with Hogan in a loss to Lex Luger and The Giant. He skipped practice with the Bulls to wrestle, infuriating both basketball fans, and Head Coach Phil Jackson. As a result he was fined by the NBA for skipping practice. At Bash at the Beach '98, Rodman & Hogan defeated Karl Malone & Diamond Dallas Page. He came back in the summer of 1999 to feud with Randy Savage. They had a match at Road Wild 1999 in which Savage shoved Rodman in a portable toilet and eventually won the match. Rumor has it Rodman was supposed to come back in 2000 for an appearance but Vince Russo opted for him not to after an unfavorable storyline involving fellow celebrity David Arquette
Rodman would return to wrestling on July 30, 2000 for the i-Generation Superstars of Wrestling pay-per-view. At the Sydney Super Dome, he faced i-Generation Champion Curt Hennig but was disqualified by repeatedly attacking the referee, a nod to his actions on the NBA court. The event was subtitled Rodman Down Under.
