Our home-grown wrestlers were big, gruff and hairy, and about as exotic to us as fish-and-chips.
The Ultimate Warrior looked like Pat Sharp on steroids.
Both of them sounded like theyd been smoking gravel for thirty-five years.
Their fight remains one of the most thrilling and highly regarded matches in WWF/E history.
But well deal with that fight as SummerSlam itself did last.
Although the match was won by Hacksaw and The Bushwhackers, few outside of Wembley would have known that.
They may as well have been called Signor Stereotypo and Black Badguy.
He went on to join a London chapter of the Hells Angels for a time.
And if HBO arent planning to turn that into a miniseries then what are they even doing?
The jury acquitted McMahon.
By this stage the referee had counted both men out, and a now-conscious Sherry was screaming and crying.
After that, it was time for the first ofSummerSlams main card events.
Macho Mansoon witnessed the gruesome twosome assaulting Warrior, quickly sussing out what was happening.
Warrior won the match, but Macho Man retained his title.
Thats not a sentence you get to pop in every day.
His exits are pretty good, too.
Wrestling can be deadly.
The crowd, again, went wild.
Wrestling itself may be fake… but theres nothing fake about that.
