Is this the video release, or the original broadcast?

The infamous Taker/Kamala match where Taker got something like a $500,000 payout and Kamala got $13,000

This is my favorite Summerslam. Mine too, without question. It's the first pay per view I ever watched, so it has sentimental value, and I think the whole show is amazing. Plus "whether he wants to or not" always cracks me up.  |

solid show, but I don't know maybe because its a little before my time, I don't think its nearly as good as Summerslam 1998 or 2002

The infamous Taker/Kamala match where Taker got something like a $500,000 payout and Kamala got $13,000 The match is also infamous in that it was terrible.  But overall this is a really good show, Savage/Warrior and Bret/Bulldog are must see. |

From what I remember the Savage/Warrior angle was superb. And it looks like a quality overall card too.

I actually hated this show. I was kinda out of the wrestling scene from 91-95, and only watched this because a friend of mine had a descarmbler. I think that soured me on it from the start. Looking back it was a weak show in the middle. Booked poorly. I forget the reason why Flair dropped the title to Savage kayfabe wise, but a Flair/Warrior match would have made this thing.

Savage and Flair did the same finish that Bret and Austin later used in Wrestlemania 13, minus the blading. But yeah, it is odd that Flair wouldn't be booked for a match on that show.

Beyond Bret vs. Bulldog, I've never much cared for this Summerslam.

OMGZ The world title isn't in the main event, how disrespectful of the wwf, how dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that damn Bret Hart and his ego.
And if the buyrate is low its because no one wants to see a taped show, people will just read the spoilers on alt.sports.wrestling or whatever.

Really? This was my first show, too! I was amazed at the sheer size of the venue and how long the aisle was; it seemed like it took forever for Michaels and Martel to make it backstage during their post-match brawl. Just imagine if WWE had kept in the entrances for every match participant--the PPV would probably stretch to over three hours! I remember cracking up at Vince McMahon's reaction to the stipulation for Michaels/Martel: "Okay now, what about this provision, 'no hitting in the face'? Give me a break! This isn't the sixth grade; this is the World Wrestling Federation!" |

There's part of me that actually likes this Savage/Warrior match more than the Mania one. Of course, Bulldog/Bret is classic. Just a really easy ppv to watch, for me, top to bottom... even the bad stuff is entertaining, here.

Still one of the most visually impressive settings for a WWE/F show I've seen... Outdoor stadiums are my jam, and there were few better than the old Wembley Stadium.

I just watched this on dvd and it doesn't hold up all that well. LOD v Money Inc and the World/ Intercontinental title matches were enjoyable but the rest was just filler.

Aww, they didn't include the epic battle between El Matador and Papa Shango. Or Tatanka vs Berzerker
No Nasties/Mountie vs Bushwackers/Hacksaw either. That's a shame, because The Brain is on fire during that match.

It's odd that this is probably my favorite PPV since I usually hate shows with screwy finishes and this show is full of them. The irony of Michaels/Martel is that punching someone in the face actually IS illegal, it's just that no one enforces it. That's a fun match even with the silly double count out finish. Now that I think about it a lot of this PPV has schmozz finishes. The WWF title match does as well, although there the overall booking was brilliant to set up the count out. I'm baffled that there was ever a plan to turn Warrior there since it makes no sense compared to what really happened (namely Perfect and Flair were messing with both guys the whole time, but wanted the title left on an ailing Savage so Flair could beat him). UT/Kamala had a DQ as well, but the match itself is only like 3 and 1/1 minutes.
Of course Bret/Bulldog is the must see here. My favorite match of all time.
