Loss Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Summerslam hype has begun! We get clips from BBC TV hyping Summerslam and of some of the stars doing public appearances, including Davey Boy. They show fans waiting outside for tickets. This for some reason is my favorite update ever. See it and you'll know what I mean. I think this was also the last year they used the awesome guitar riff music to hype Summerslam.

Tim Evans Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I thought they used the Summerslam theme till 94? Good PR piece for WWF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 '94 was the last year they used the Chicago/Def Leppard hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 The English seem very excited to be awarded Summerslam. Liked the fans sleeping on beach chairs at the ticket box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Great segment previewing Summerslam at Wembley, including BBC clips. They announce a main event of Savage vs. Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 "They're going absolutely WILD! ... Well, as wild as the British ever get, that is!" Mean Gene with the huge slam on our allies. Effective video piece follows--I'm surprised they showed the Warrior in street clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I liked them showing the news clips from British TV; this was much more of a legit story over there than it would have been over here. I don't think Pittsburgh TV even mentioned it when we got our first pay-per-view (SummerSlam '95). I liked most of the interviews, although Davey Boy saying that being the only Englishman on the roster gives him an advantage is so bizarre that even the marks can see through it. Stealing a wrestling pay-per-view from America is nowhere near stealing the World Series (which is impossible anyway, since the Series is played at the home ballparks) but I can appreciate the head of Wembley's enthusiasm. Nice to see that Duggan still has a job; The last time we saw him on the Yearbooks outside of the '92 Rumble was when he saved Sid from Jake's cobra all the way back in October of last year. Warrior in street clothes was a bit of a shock, especially given the WWF's trend of having wrestlers go out in public wearing only their gear. Correct me if I'm wrong: The pay-per-view was done live on the evening of the thirty-first local time, which would have been in the middle of the afternoon Eastern time, then fed to the States via satellite on tape the same night (all told, about a six-hour tape delay).

dawho5 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Wembley sold out in 10 hours? That's pretty damn impressive if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show occurred on the 29th (per ticket stubs) and the US broadcast occurred on the 31st (print and TV ads). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
