WWF SummerSlam 1992 - Review - a podcast by Dimp Digital

Apps and Paper turn back to clock to review WWF SummerSlam 1992! This is the first Wrestling event that Apps & Paper saw so it certainly packs a nostalgic punch. Event details below:
SummerSlam (1992) was the fifth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on Saturday August 29, 1992, at Wembley Stadium, London, England, and aired on August 31. It was the first major WWF pay-per-view to take place outside North America.
The pay-per-view included two main event matches. In the first, The Ultimate Warrior challenged "Macho Man" Randy Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. In the other main event, "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith took on Bret Hart for the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. The undercard also included The Natural Disasters against the Beverly Brothers and Shawn Michaels versus Rick Martel with a stipulation that the wrestlers were banned from hitting each other in the face.
WWE considers the crowd to be the fourth largest live audience ever to attend a WWF/E event, with 80,355 in attendance; WrestleMania 29 in 2013 is reported as having 80,676 fans in attendance, WrestleMania III in 1987 is reported as having 93,173 fans in attendance and WrestleMania 32 in 2016 is reported as having 101,763 fans in attendance. Some writers believe that the WWF inflated the attendance figure for WrestleMania III, however, and that SummerSlam 1992 had a larger crowd. Between ticket prices and merchandise sales, the WWF made over $3,650,000 in revenue. Reviews of the event are almost all positive, and the Smith-Hart match has been rated the best match in SummerSlam history.
