Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan, and Roddy Piper are in the booth, and they are live from New York City, New York. According to thehistoryofwwe.com, the show took place on Monday, August 26 and drew a crowd of 17,474, 15,643 paid for their tickets. The show had an estimated buyrate of 2.70 (an estimated 405,000 buys), a decline from the 3.80 buyrate (and 507,000 buys) that the previous year’s SummerSlam drew.
The opening video package has a great line from Vince McMahon, as he hypes the show’s “Match Made in Heaven” and “Match Made in Hell” as nuptials turning to napalm.
