WWF Summerslam 1992 (Wrestling Review)

WWF

Summerslam

London, England

Aug. 29th, 1992

 

Tag Team Match
The Legion Of Doom (Animal & Hawk) (w/Paul Ellering) vs. Money Inc. (Irwin R. Schyster & Ted DiBiase) (w/Jimmy Hart)

A decent opener. Some good moves and Road Warriors got the hot finish even if the ending came out of nowhere. 

2.5 / 5

Singles Match
Virgil vs. Nailz

An awful match between two guys who didn’t do much. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
Shawn Michaels (w/Sensational Sherri) vs. Rick Martel

A less than generic match that just didn’t work. Both guys were heels so no one to cheer for either. A horrible finish that just felt dragged out as well. 

1 / 5

WWF World Tag Team Title Match
The Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) (c) vs. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly & Blake Beverly) (w/The Genius)

This had its few moments but it just dragged on too long. Typhoon sold too much and The Beverlys weren’t good or over enough to do a slow 10 minute match like this. 

1.25 / 5

Singles Match
Crush vs. Repo Man

Crush has some agility but this was a lifeless squash mostly.

.5 / 5

WWF World Heavyweight Title Match
Randy Savage (c) vs. The Ultimate Warrior

This had its moments but it just dragged too much at times. It felt way longer than 30 minutes but once the ending came along and included Flair and Henning it picked itself up some. Warrior was just so basic in ring that he couldn’t do a good long match. 

2.5 / 5

Singles Match
Kamala (w/Harvey Wippleman & Kim Chee) vs. The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer)

It was short and bad. Kamala was a heel who couldn’t move much or wrestle and Taker was still super new here. 

.5 / 5

WWF Intercontinental Title Match
Bret Hart (c) vs. The British Bulldog

A classic match that made both guys. Hart went on to be even bigger after this and Bulldog had the crowd fully backing him from this. Even at the times it started to get a bit slow it picked itself back up. Even with the one spot where Bulldog missed Bret it didn’t do anything to lower this. This had story and feelings oozing out of it. 

4.5 / 5
