I always think SummerSlam 1995 gets a bit of unfair criticism. Yes, the main event is awful but nothing else on the card is anywhere near as bad. Kid/Hakushi is a good opener, Bret/Yankem is decent, the Horowitz/Skip match was good (and a good storyline too), Kama/Taker was way better than it should have been and is by some distance the best casket match until 98 and Razor/Shawn II is excellent. The other three matches aren’t anything special but they’re not offensive on the same level as Diesel/Mabel. From the early shows, 88 is pretty bad. It’s got a good opener but with a terrible finish, a forgettable tag title match and a series of more or less squash matches, though granted, one of which is a pretty historic title change. The main event is passable but when the highlight of a wrestling match it is a valet ripping her skirt off (even if it is someone as beautiful as Elizabeth), then something’s not right. Throw in a terrible Brother Love show and a boxing match getting more hype than most of the card combined and it makes for a poor show. I would agree that 95 was bottom-heavy. A solid undercard but a weak main event. Though I wonder why the Tag Titles weren’t defended, and Owen and Yoko weren’t even on the card. |
