First Summer Slam

By Scott Keith on 26 May 2020

This came up in one of the comment sections so I can't claim credit for noticing it but do you realize that the first summer slam was layed out almost exactly like the first Wrestlemania? You had a tag match with a special referee as the main event. A title
change. Another title match between guys with no feud, (but other feuds do factor in the result,) and some JTTS matches to establish new talent. And it worked too.  Summer Slam is the number 2 PPV and has been around almost as long as mania. 

Vince certainly did used to know what he was doing with this stuff.
