SummerSlam 1988 Then and Now (1988 - 2023) How Have They Changed 35 Years Later?

SummerSlam 1988 was the first SummerSlam pay-per-view, produced by the World Wrestling Federation. The event was held on August 29, 1988, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The pay-per-view was created to help the company compete against rival company, World Championship Wrestling (formerly Jim Crockett Promotions). The main match between the preliminary matches was the one valid for the WWF Intercontinental Championship between The Ultimate Warrior and the champion The Honky Tonk Man; Ultimate Warrior won the match in about thirty seconds, ending the longest reign as Intercontinental Champion in history. The main event of the evening was the match between The Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage) and The Mega Bucks (Ted DiBiase and André the Giant); Hogan and Savage won the match after Miss Elizabeth, Savage's wife and manager, distracted the referee, who at the time was wrestler Jesse Ventura, by removing her skirt, remaining in her panties and thus showing him her legs. After SummerSlam, Hogan and Savage decided to continue their on-screen feud, which culminated in a match at WrestleMania V in which Hogan won the WWF Championship from Savage. SummerSlam 1988 fu la prima edizione del pay-per-view Summerslam, prodotto dalla World Wrestling Federation. L'evento si tenne il 29 agosto 1988, al Madison Square Garden di New York. Il pay-per-view fu creato per aiutare l'azienda a competere contro la compagnia rivale, la World Championship Wrestling (ex Jim Crockett Promotions). Il match principale tra gli incontri preliminari fu quello valido per il WWF Intercontinental Championship tra The Ultimate Warrior e il campione The Honky Tonk Man; Ultimate Warrior vinse il match in circa trenta secondi, ponendo fine al più lungo regno da Campione Intercontinentale della storia. Il main event della serata fu il match tra The Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan e Randy Savage) e The Mega Bucks (Ted DiBiase e André the Giant); Hogan e Savage vinsero il match dopo che Miss Elizabeth, moglie e manager di Savage, distrasse l'arbitro, che in quell'occasione era il wrestler Jesse Ventura, togliendosi la gonna, restando in mutandine e mostrandogli così le gambe. Dopo SummerSlam, Hogan e Savage decisero di continuare il loro feud on-screen, culminato in un match a WrestleMania V al termine del quale Hogan vinse il WWF Championship da Savage.
