10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 1993 Facts

[@tacomcdoom]

That Yokozuna bouncing in the background is one of the funniest thing I've seen on whatculture

[@gogotero99]

Another fun fact. Everyone hated Jerry Lawler so much, that the refs that were supposed to get Bret off of Jerry while applying the sharpshooter, were actually pushing back Bret to apply more pressure and pain to Jerry Lawler.

[@jcurbin305]

Really? 😄😄

[@troy801]

Incredible

[@datboi9539]

No wonder he couldn't walk afterwards....

[@mrhaag]

Fun fact: Jerry Lawler deserves all the hate.

[@RudeBoyKyle94]

I never wanted to watch this show anymore than I do after learning this

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Puts Undertaker in the thumbnail-Makes no mention of The Undertaker.

[@a-cygnus]

TakerKaneanite619 Yeah..I was wondering the same thing myself. Thought I missed something.

[@josebeardo1411]

TakerKaneanite619 was just scrolling through the comments thinking I missed something as well. 😂

[@BeatleMark85]

Probably meant for Summerslam 94 and the whole Taker vs Taker thing.

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Lss Not Plumpy's fault though. Besides, it was simply an observation.

[@N_Adler92]

It's a picture from the PPV undertaker faced giant gonzalez

[@fiddleolnugget3539]

You know why these SummerSlam videos are all great? Because Adam narrates them every time.

[@falufalump]

Small note: A knee can't be hyper-extended in a sharpshooter. Both knees are flexed in that move. They can be twisted (meniscus/ligament damage possible), or damage could be done to the ankles. Or you could hyper-extend the back and injury it that way.

[@My19812011]

I genuinely hysterically laughed at Doink drenching Bruce Hart 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChessJew]

This is completely unrelated to the video, but Bray Wyatt should be our collective hero for boning JoJo.

[@wegotanotherone257]

John Cole Right?

[@speedy932key4]

John Cole they just had a kid recently if I'm not mistaken

[@TheBullet0012]

Why exactly ? Jojo is a gorgeous woman, but just why ? The man cheated on his then wife..

[@Humorless_Wokescold]

Lex Luger will forever be my counter argument to anyone who tells me Roman would have gone over great if it weren't for smarks. Sometimes the company babyface doesn't work out or takes several years to really find his footing. Wrestling isn't a science. Or even an art really. You throw everything you got at the wall and hope for the best.

[@sumeetagrawal9708]

ain't that the truth

[@mikey____235]

Julian Francisco but Roman was over with the shield, then when he attack hhh in extreme rules people cheered, when he won the wwe title at raw people cheered, when he won the usa title people cheered. Román is over but people boo him because is the cool thing to do .

[@sumeetagrawal9708]

+Michael Martin who cheered the on raw after mania 32 and 33? him vs hhh was the worst received wrestlemania main event of all time they actually had to mute the crowd and insert fake cheers in the TV broadcasts your points make no sense he's not an over babyface, deal with it... and no, people don't boo him cause it's cool, it's not possible for thousands of people call you an asshole just because it's cool

[@Humorless_Wokescold]

Michael Martin Luger was over too. After he bodyslammed Yokozuna he got huge pops. Then the pops died down and eventually midcarders were getting louder cheers than him. That's just the way things roll sometimes.

[@mikey____235]

Did you saw last week raw ? he was cheered. in every single match he gets the " Let's go roman " "roman sucks" he's over.

[@Mr_thtguy]

These list are the best thing ever

[@felixelfving]

Robert Walker yes indeed

[@BreakingNVain]

Robert Walker No, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Neebs Gaming/Battlefield Friends/Mob Squad, & Bruce Prichard/Jim Cornette/Various Shoots are juuuust a bit better...just a bit.

[@stephenhanlon1604]

Remember picking up SummerSlam 93 on VHS in a charity store for £2 when I was a kid. Looking back on it, probably all it was worth!

[@miguelsuarez2482]

I love how the length of the sharpshooter kept changing lol 😂

[@diezel308]

"Comment section, what if I told you..." That the pic at 1:20 is absolutely Randy Savage and y'all that think it's Jay Lethal are... are.. hold on, where's my Eli Drake button...

[@agsconnolly]

Ted Dibiase should've been WWF champion. Incredible talent.

[@alandobbins6639]

Luger lies! Prichard said on his podcast Lex refused to stay on the bus and would fly from place to place and meet the bus in each location then stay in hotels.

[@mikeawesome9212]

Hahahaha and you're actually going to believe Prichard over Luger?? Sorry to break it to ya but your hero Bruce Prichard is one of the biggest liars in wrestling. I used to check his podcast but eventually I realized everything he says is complete BS and I could no longer listen to Prichard's shit. There are only TWO bigger liars than Prichard and that's Russo at number 2 and Hogan at Number 1. Just like this.... Biggest liars in wrestling history. 3. Bruce Prichard 2. Vince Russo 1. Hulk Hogan

[@alandobbins6639]

I'm assuming I was being sarcastic in my 5 year old comment here. But who knows, I've slept since then.

[@wwe22ify]

Why we gotta Pay for extra booking video's ? Give us Some more for Free , we beg you

[@shauryajain1393]

wwe22ify , YES , We Want Booking videos back !!!

[@jbc17c]

wwe22ify They gotta make money somehow, and KZbin sure as hell ain't giving to them.

[@elianwilliams]

Joshua Cooper I understand that, but Booking videos shouldn't be restricted to Extra

[@jacktheitaliansausage41]

wwe22ify I see where you're coming from but there's only been three booking videos on extra so far

[@elianwilliams]

Jack The Italian Sausage I'm curious to know... what are they

[@shubhammathur7048]

Plumpy is like whatculture's stone cold

[@danielphilpott4308]

Shubham Mathur but plumpy hasn't broken his neck

[@bigchindave6102]

Daniel Philpott yet

[@FranklinBeaumont]

Better tell Debra to stay out of his way.

[@grungyperry7530]

Shubham Mathur Nah it goes like this : King Ross - Stone Cold Plumpy - The Rock Simon - Goldberg /DDP

[@vjp_2k]

ライガー fuck no King Ross is awful

[@m.muradbasic4186]

Now, here‘s what i think about the whole Lex/ Bret debacle. Why didn‘t Vince try to convince the Locker room to stay, by Lex wining the Title at Summerslam, than Bret would win the Royal Rumble by throwing over Yokozuna, so he could beat Lex at mania. I mean, jesus, 2 Manias where Bret vs Yokozuna happened, nobody needed that.

[@seanhuggan1989]

Good on you, Plumpy for noting DiBiase as a born-again Christian.

[@ghostsnipertrue]

Last time I was this early my girlfriend was even more disappointed in me than usual.

[@shadowstorm1111]

The yokozuna intermission had me laughing 😂

[@mansexseekerofass8608]

who remembers Jason sensation

[@winsbeyond8295]

Mansex Seekerofass The greatest Wrestling impersonator I've ever seen. Where is He?

[@thatmanwassethrollins4586]

Sorry (Hi for my bad English).

[@ryansanderson7580]

Guess England is not your city

[@yessir5956]

Chris jericho return>wwe battleground

[@Dibby0156]

Davey Davey and in other news water is wet, and fire is hot.

[@rachelcatleyquinn9520]

Everything>Battleground.

[@izr1t3]

Wrong thumbnail bois

[@mathewbarrie]

The thumbnail image is from SummerSlam 93... the video is about SummerSlam 93.

[@TheOddz313]

I was in Buffalo traveling back to Detroit, they had a show in Niagara before summer slam and I met giant Gonzalez at the airport and got an autograph. Never seen someone that big in person. In metro detroit the ppv broadcast got cutoff before the conclusion, I didn't see the Lex lariat or celebration.

[@brianbenfield3270]

Another fact you missed: The first Pay Per View appearance of Sean Waltman. AKA the 1-2-3 Kid and X-Pac.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

That is true. I didn't realize that. I think that was his first wrestling pay-per-view. I first seen him as the Lightning Kid in Global Wrestling Federation in 1991...

[@scotty87able]

"Star spangled silly bus" love it

[@keshawn888]

I enjoy really enjoy your "10 Fascinating Facts" series @Plumpy of WhatCulture. I've been watching mostly all of them since your wrestlemania series. My question is do you plan on doing an In Your House series? Cause you would have to cover a WHOLE LOT of them since multiple IYH ppvs happened every year lol

[@timothyhawkins5756]

Sting and royal rumble and survivor series

[@Jason_Maier]

I also seem to recall reading because of how bad business was at the time, the SummerSlam crowd here was heavily papered and/or tickets were going as low as $5 because of coupon discounts.

[@turbogeek.421]

7:03 "He lost by count out" - Are you sure about this Plumpy??

[@BrolyChan]

let's be honest, considering that he didn't win the belt, yeah he pretty much lost.

[@dpalmerama]

Surprised that they didn't mention that Lex didn't win the title (which was the original plan) was because the entire locker room would revolt as they thought Brett deserved the title more and no one liked Luger being heavily pushed by Vince to be the next Hogan!

[@superlex611]

Dan Palmer blame WWE for the build-up

[@zainjahangir7962]

ABOUT TIME WHAT TOOK SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!! #WORKFASTERSAM

[@Stay_ClassyYT]

Tfw tomorrow is 2017 Summerslam. Rip the makers of this list that today and most likely tomorrow they have to keep on pushing way more to 6 summerslam's left to get it all caught up.

[@ralphthomas1534]

they did the same thing to my aunt at the circus. She was wearing a dress and heels AT THE CIRCUS. First bucket confetti second water all over her. The family had a real good laugh that day

[@dirbrody]

Lex"I'll be your hero"Luger

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663]

Ted Dibiase went to All Japan and won the tag belts with Stan Hanson shortly after Summer Slam...

[@CodeName_JJ]

"Something something, doesn't lay down for anybody etc"😂😂 sounds about right

[@Masterhighlight]

Also, if you didn't know, the roster would go on strike if Lex Luger won the title, so Vince thought: "I'm going to troll!" and made Lex win via countout.

[@michaelsmith8107]

Wasn't the locker room threatening to strike or something if luger won the belt? They felt (rightly) that Bret should have got the opportunity. The same thing happened at wrestlemania 10 too I believe.

[@superlex611]

Michael Smith but Summerslam was a very significant PPV old veterans are gone and New young talent rise to the top

[@michaelsmith8107]

alex kanyima what does that have to do with luger not winning the title?

[@superlex611]

Michael Smith because Luger was pushed to be a born again Hulk Hogan and was supposed to THE guy

[@hugoalynstephens9166]

"...But then Vince had her shot- for breaking Kayfabe and that was the right thing to do!" xD

[@chuc0x3]

Yokozuna jumping from side to side...lmao

[@cornholio5318]

I feel like I need to rewatch SummerSlams

[@Holly4781]

The first Summerslam without The Ultimate Warrior.

[@mrkipling2201]

“ bare bottom nonsense “. Love it!!

[@ShelLuser]

The most fascinating fact of them all: it happened in 1993, now 24 years go :)

[@MountainMan2946]

Wow....2:54 aged really well

[@frank-bmtz]

The yokozuna animation had me dying in laughter 😂😂

[@metalprisoner784]

The great Khali's role in the WWE is like Yokozuna's in this video...floating around.

[@machinedhead1108]

PLEASE DO UPS AND DOWNS FOR PAST WM'S... 25-30

[@reallyretro]

My dream SummerSlam 1993 card- Lex Luger Vs Yokozuna- WWF title match Mr Perfect Vs Shawn Michaels- IC title match Steiner Brothers Vs Money Inc- Tag Title match, losers must split up as a tag team Undertaker Vs Mr Hughes- No Holds Barred match Tatanka/Sensational Sherri Vs Bam Bam Bigelow/Luna Vachon- mixed tag team match Bret Hart Vs Jerry Lawler Crush/Randy Savage Vs Two Doinks Ludvig Borga Vs Marty Jannetty Razor Ramon Vs 123 Kid

[@giantotter319]

Last time i was this early, this joke was already too old.

[@ashervonsteinlager]

At 1:18. Thats not Randy Savage. Its Jay Lethal in his "black machismo" gimmick. Time to fire your photo research intern Plumpy

[@hd_inmemoriam]

ikr? They have used this picture multiple times now, and I was already wondering if I'm the one who's wrong.

[@astro-aaron]

Okay good. I thought I was going nuts too.

[@kanetheundertaker4182]

Its savage

[@lurchlogan]

Yokozuna bouncing across the screen! 😂😂

[@redshirt8611]

Fact 11: I was born two weeks later

[@mixboy79]

It was an odd Summer Slam, but not worse than Survivor Series 92

[@kozmik7866]

You know you're early when your early enough to do a 'you know you're early post.

[@benconley612]

Nice vid Adam

[@zj2420]

The Best Grumpy Cat their is, was, and ever will be

[@jasonstanley8362]

Good video. Really interesting card for the wcpw show advertised at the end

[@aatificialintelligence3984]

Perfect! Just in time for my sandwich. Eating without a WC Top 10 video just feels so empty...

[@supernovamcr5974]

Hearing the Plumpster makes every day better. #gwanplumperslad

[@hunterb1969]

You guys should do 10 Things WWE wants you to forget about The Attitude Era

[@tacoma171]

I was at that show back in 1993 in Halifax and I do not recall any Hulk/Bret confrontation with the belt. If I do remember correctly Hulk wasn't even there.

[@DenOfVipers]

That confetti bucket trick is an old vaudeville gag, used still by the Harlem Globetrotters.

[@ryankim1993]

Wow. Lots of Fascinating Facts about Summerslam videos being posted in a short time span. Looking forward to the next one. Does anyone know the name of the background music used at 7:48, when it advertises the WCPW Pro Wrestling World Cup '17?

[@timster19881988]

Is it just me or is the audio of the Summerslam videos very quiet at times? Great videos though!

[@MegamanNG]

How come Plumpy didn't mention anything about Joe Fowler during the "Mark the End of Mean Gene". Joe didn't last long in the WWE and was let go.

[@marcus813]

This show didn't exactly wipe out Luger's reputation for being a choker in world title bouts.

[@Zanatos9]

Bret was saying about the sharpshooter was a shoot. He really leaned back on it to get back at Lawler for something lol.

[@FoXDi3]

7:02 - Plumpy claims Luger lost via count out. Bad plumpy.

[@stalebread8384]

I've met Ted DiBiase, Tatanka & Roddy Piper

[@Shifty1940]

Love the Hogan pointing to the ppv s he's missed bit

[@hubertgreen]

I liked summerslam 93. Think it had good matches and a good build up. Think it was an ok ending with luger celibrating his victory. He still won the match. To bad Dibiase left after this ppv thou. Wish rick martel could have had a single match up in there too.

[@superlex611]

hubertgreen good solid PPV

[@thejoojooman6538]

Summerslam 93 is my favorite Summerslam.

[@ttheaney]

Lex "Lugar", eh?

[@henryfarrell7211]

They are forgetting that Mr. Perfect lost the match 3 times 1990, 1991 and 1993 he is the only person at that time to lost the title or never got it back

[@alexh8613]

How do you put the Undertaker on the thumbnail and not mention the Undertaker/Mr. Hughes situation

[@christiancoates6505]

The spinning sharpshooter lol

[@BlindAssassin85]

Is this true. The Neville, King of the cruiserweights, is the song of the singer? Please tell me

[@dhruvtrivedi1335]

2:56 They went one further with Edge vs Randy Orton with WWE literally labelling it as the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever."

[@X42toMars]

As a 7 year old kid who went in person it was awesome, lol.

[@mikemcbrine958]

At 7:05 you said Lex LOST via count out. Boy, I sure hope someone got fired over that one

[@isaaclim7582]

Yay Plumpy😃

[@peldoria]

The inaugural event was in 88 not 98, come on team

[@zanethind]

So what we learned about this ppv is that it basically was the end for everyone

[@in.ernest6846]

Please do Top 10 finishers which are now transitional moves

[@alexh8613]

7:00 Luger didn't lose by countout. He won by countout

[@datboi9539]

I wonder what would've happened if Vince stuck to his guns and actually let Lex Luger win the WWF title...

[@vampirascoffin870]

adam you said 1998 instead of 1988 lol

[@scottleader8836]

1993-1995 you said Michaels did retain the belt but it was not in 1994 Diesel lost it back to Razor

[@adebrysi]

the summer of the count out

[@3GPtv]

Anyone know what match the photo from 7:16 was taken? It looks to me like 1987. Guys are using weapons and one has a helmet. The participants are: British Bulldogs (wearing red tights they wore in 87) Bam Bam Warrior Gang JYD Sika Hacksaw Demolition Butch Reed? Hercules? Someone in a NY Jets football uniform w helmet Someone w an Islanders? hockey jersey Someone w a Raiders? #9 jersey

[@stufaman]

I was getting sick of WWF hyping up a big even when you knew nothing was going to happen in it, aside from all time greats leaving a sinking ship. WWF would start to go really sh*t after Summerslam 93.

[@ne0n245]

On my screen the entire video is just Plumpy talking over the thumbnail picture

[@ne0n245]

Nevermind I reloaded and it got fixed

[@HarmanD22307]

true story, I have had Bruce Hart as a substitute teacher many times

[@OrenT1000]

you got one wrong . the IC title changed hands in 94 . razor beat diesel

[@FearArrowBuster]

@Whatculture, wrong date. Saturday is not the 23rd of August. That would be an awesome birthday for me but 23rd is a Wednesday and Plumpy is the day after on a Thursday. Get it together gents

[@marcoscastaneda8848]

The song at the end sounds like lesly roys I'm gone I'm going. Is this correct?

[@thomasblond431]

Plumpy was the best

[@evanmoloney304]

keep them coming Adam :) #f**k the negatives

[@helltoupee6664]

7:02 "and then...he lost by countout" he won by countout.
