1st Annual SlummerSlam


It was on this day in 1988 that the WWF gave us the first Annual SummerSlam PPV Event. The card opened with the British Bulldogs facing the Rougeau Brothers. The card also saw the beginning of the Intercontinental title run of the Ultimate Warrior, who pinned Honky Tonk Man in 31 secs.
The main event was a huge tag team match, literally and in name wise, as the Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage) met the Mega Bucks (Ted Dibiase and Andre the Giant).
I of course was rooting for Andre because I could not stand Hulk Hogan and I was disappointed that Savage had joined him. Later on when Savage "turned" on Hogan I was so happy and things were back to normal.
The true highlight of the main event was Miss Elizabeth taking off her skirt to distract Andre and Dibiase so the Mega Powers could make the remarkable comeback to win the match.
Lets watch
