Do the Blu win the battle of the brothers?

Does Skip get some revenge against Barry?

Does Alundra keep Bertha from getting the title?

Does Kama stuff Undertaker into a casket?

We are LIVE from the Civic Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the 8th Edition of Summerslam! We have 9 big matches tonight, which will be interesting to see the results!

Opening match is 123 Kid vs Hakushi. The Kid tried his hardest but ultimately the Japanese superstar got the pinfall after finishing him with a Nenbutsu bomb.

Second match was relative newcomer Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Bob Holly, in which Hunter pinned Bob after his pedigree move (wonder if we will see more of him in future Summerslams?).

Third match was a "Battle of Brothers", as Smokin Gunn defeated Blu Brothers after Bart pinned Jacob after Sidewinder.

Fourth match is the Ultimate underdog Barry Horowitz vs Skip (with Sunny). Sunny does her best to despite referee to aid her man Skip, while Barry had a big heart to not go down so easily. At one point, Hakushi, who also suffered an "upset loss" to Barry recently, walks out and randomly jumps onto the ropes and leaps over BOTH Skip AND Barry. This distraction is enough for Barry to roll up Skip once more for another pin! Horowitz wins on Pay Per View!

Fifth match is for Women's title, as Alundra Blayze defends against Bertha Faye (with Harvey Whippleman). Alundra looks to win by delivering a German suplex to Bertha, but Harvey jumps onto the apron for distraction. Alundra chases Harvey outside the ring, then Bettha takes over the match, and delivers a powerbomb for the pin. Bertha Faye wins Women's title!

Sixth title the casket match between Undertaker and Kama. Undertaker is able to beat the Supreme fighting machine by chokeslaming him, tombstoning him, then tossing him into casket and closing the lid.

*Seventh match is Bret Hart vs the "Dentist" Isaac Yankem. Isaac shows to be not just strong but surprisingly agile for his size (at least 6 foot 8), and keeps up with Hitman for a few minutes. Then the excellent ot execution makes his comeback and takes him down with sides lam and flying elbowdrop. At one point Bret looks to get Isaac into sharpshooter, leading to Jerry Lawler to jump up from commentary table. Jerry gets onto apron to argue with referee, while Bret let's go of getting sharpshooter on and hits Jerry off the apron. However this distraction is enough for Isaac to recover, and Jerry just so happened to drop his crown into the ring next to Isaac, so the dentist then nails Hitman in the back with it while referee is still distracted by Jerry on the floor. Isaac now picks up the wounded Hitman and surprisingly... delivers a tombstone piledriver (wonder if he learned it or is related to Undertaker) and pins him! Isaac Yankem beats Bret Hart!!!
After the match, Isaac grabs one of his dentist drills and turns it on then shoves it into Bret's mouth! He only holds it there for a few seconds, but it's enough for Bret to spit out blood and Lawler laughing with Isaac on the way to the back.

*Eighth match is a ladder match for Intercontinental title, as current champion Shawn Michaels defends against Razor Ramon. These 2 had a classic ladder match almost 2 years ago at Wrestlemania 10. They have another classic with them each going back and forth and using 2 different ladders into the match! The 2 men are seen fighting to the top of both ladders, then Shawn delivers a superkick to knock off Razor from top of ladder, but Shawn also loses his balance and they both fall to the mat. However Shawn is quicker to get to his feet first, so he is able to slow climb to the top and within reach of grabbing the belt, then Razor gets back up and steps up 2 rungs behind him and grabs him by his shoulders and delivers a razors edge from top of ladder! Now Shawn is NOT getting up, so Razor slowly climbs the ladder, and much like he did the first match, he grabs the IC title down! Razor Ramon has won his 4th Intercontinental championship!!!
After the match, Shawn is a good sport as he hugs to congratulate Razor, although he does noticeable seem VERY disappointed with the match result.

*Main Event is for WWF title, as Diesel defends against reigning King Mabel with Sir MO. This is a battle between 2 lumbering big men just hitting each other back and forth. At one point Mabel gets Diesel onto the mat on his stomach snd just splashes onto his back (ouch that hurts). Diesel attempts a comeback, and MO tries getting onto the apron , but then Lex Luger had ran out and attacked MO and sends him to the back. At this point the referee is distracted and Davey Boy Smith runs in and attacks Diesel! He then delivers a powerbomb to Big Daddy Cool, then rolls out of the ring as referee rolls back into the ring. Mabel then does a splash onto Diesel and pins him! Mabel has won WWF title!!!
Who would have thought within just 3 months Mabel goes from "that big man on MOM" to King of the Ring AND WWF champion?
Mo returns to the ring to celebrate with Mabel and the title as the show ends.

Fantasy booking until Summerslam 1996...

On Raw after Summerslam, Shawn Michaels says while he is "proud" of the match he had with Razor the night before, he can't help but feel he lost his smile" and wants to take time off to recover for "himself" (he ends up leaving WWF by end of year and joins WCW in 1996).
A special tag team main Event will headline next In Your House (Men on on Mission with Mabel as wwf champion vs tag champions Yokozuna & Owen Hart). The rules are that BOTH WWF AND tag team belts will be on the line (MOM could be tag Champs winning, while Owen OR Yoko could be wwf champion pinning either Mabel OR Mo).

Men on a Mission beat Owen & Yokozuna to become tag team champions (yes, Mabel has wwf title, king crown, AND tag belt here)!

Diesel tosses the tiring Hunter, while Yokozuna throws out his former partner Owen. Diesel and Yokozuna have a brief showdown, which Big Daddy Cool gets the better of, then he clotheslines Yoko out! Diesel then then raises his arms as if he won... but then referee waves it off since 1 man was NOT eliminated. Just then rolling into the ring behind Diesel is Barry Horowitz, who entered 29 and was knocked out threw the ropes and recovering on the floor for a few minutes so he is STILL legal! When Diesel turns around Barry dropkicks Diesel and immediately attacks him, with the crowd really getting behind (could the man that pats himself on the back score the biggest upset in Rumble history?). However just as Barry seems to have Diesel against the ropes and charges at him, Diesel ducks and backflips Barry over and out! So Diesel wins 1996 Royal Rumble!
