[1992-08-29-WWF-Summerslam] Rick Martel vs Shawn Michaels

[cactus]

Martel's still a heel, but he's working face for this feud. He's been flirting with Sherri and she likes it, much to Michaels' displeasure. They put the effort into the presentation of this, with Rick Martel wearing a tennis outfit to the ring. Sherri is wearing a thong with assless chaps and Heenan drops a hilarious line about Sherri having a bad case of moths. Sherri added a stipulation to this match that neither man can hit each in the face. You think this would hurt the match, but these three make it work and craft a fun, campy match that full of fan service. Michaels and Martel do a spot where they try to pin each other by holding each other's trunks and end up exposing their arses to the audience. I love this more than most. I always enjoyed it when I was a kid, but I'm happy to say it holds up surprisingly well. 

★★★½
