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. Are these on the Summerslam anthology DVDs?

I think the only way to get those matches legally today is to track down either the original VHS or the UK Tagged Classics with Summerslam 91/92, and I'm not sure if the US VHS actually has those matches. I know that the UK version does.

Was this the one where Taker rolled up in an antique hearse? That whole time frame is jumbled together for me.

I guess since there were only 7 matches as opposed to 10+ on WrestleMania III and VI they didn't need the ring carts though with as long as the entrance was it could have been used and should have to give more importance. Was interesting seeing Beverly Brothers, Martel and Repo (Nailz too but without theme) get the jobber entrance considering they had a theme. It was for time I'm sure though.

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. 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!" I agree with all of this.

I think, other than Youtube currently, that's the only way they've ever been seen in the States. Was this the one where Taker rolled up in an antique hearse? That whole time frame is jumbled together for me. Yup.
