SummerSlam 1995 - The Recap

Dean Douglas defines the word "dean," then says he'll be conducting summer school backstage.

Hakushi beats The 1-2-3 Kid.

Dok Hendrix interviews King Mabel backstage. Mabel is keeping his plans under wraps until he gets in the ring, and says The British Bulldog helping him out last week on Raw was just a preview of what he's about to do.

The British Bulldog appears at the arena during the next match despite not being scheduled for tonight.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Bob "Spark Plug" Holly.

Yesterday, the Stridex War on the Water - a tug of wat between the City of Pittsburgh Fire Department and the WWF Superstars - was held in front of Three Rivers Stadium and benefited the Pittsburgh Firefighter's Monument Club. Pittsburgh mayor Tom Murphy and the city firefighters were on hand. The losing team had to take a swim, and the WWF Superstars won out.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) beat The Blu Brothers (Jacob and Eli Blue).

Barry Horowitz beats Skip after Hakushi shows up and leaps over both Skip and Horowitz from the top rope as revenge for Skip costing him a match against Horowitz, distracting Skip and allowing Horowitz to get an inside cradle for the win.

Dean Douglas defines the word "vivify" before calling Horowitz' win a travesty.

Todd Pettengill interviews Shawn Michaels, who calls the ladder match the most grueling match in the WWF, and says that only two people can do it: him and Roman Reigns. Shawn lost last time, and he doesn't plan on a repeat performance for Round 2.

Bertha Faye beats Alundra Blayze to win the WWF Women's Championship! Jim Ros interviews Alundra Blayze, and Harvey Wippleman says that she finished the makeover she started six months ago, and that the WWF now has a new princess.

In a Coliseum Video exclusive, we witness the history between Kama and The Undertaker. Paul Bearer says we will witness a little more history in a few moments. The Undertaker tells Kama he dug his own grave, and now he will lie in it.

The Undertaker beats Kama in a Casket Match.

Todd Pettengill interviews Bret "The Hit Man" backstage. He tells Jerry "The Lawler" he can even send a chiropractor if he has to; he'll still win. He even considers knocking all of Dr. Isaac Yankem's teeth out of his mouth himself.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Dr. Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. by disqualification after both Yankem and Jerry "The King" Lawler tie Hart's head and neck up in the ropes and pull him by his feet, making it harder for him to breathe. Officials have to break this up so that they can get Hart out of the ropes, and Hart is able to get up under his own power. Jerry "The King" Lawler heads backstage with Yankem.

Dok Hendrix interviews Razor Ramon, who says history has a way of repeating itself, and that it's not just the WWF Intercontinental Championship on the line, but bodies and careers. He'll take any chance he can, and if "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels wants to dance, he'll lead.

Dok Hendrix takes Jerry "The King" Lawler's place for the next match (the ladder match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship between Razor Ramon and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels) as well as the remainder of the show. Before the match, the belt is placed on the hook, but has to be lowered due to being way too high for both men to grab due to the metal fasteners of the belt being positioned up top and not to the side where they can easily be unfastened. Shawn Michaels has to tell officials to lower the belt. It goes all the way down, Michaels repositions the belt, then tells officials to lift it back up. The match then begins.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon in a Ladder Match. After the match, an angry Razor Ramon takes the title from Michaels, then changes his tune and hands it to him before Razor lifts HBK's arm in victory. Both men show respect after the match.

Dean Douglas defines the word "bad," both the slang and proper terms. Razor Ramon heats Douglas running his mouth, calls him out for being "an armchair quarterback telling The Bad Guy how to fight," and then smacks Dean Douglas in the face when Douglas tries to attack him from behind. Douglas backs down when Razor asks him if he wants some more.

Todd Pettengill interviews Diesel backstage. He says Diesel is gone and "Big Daddy Cool" is alive, and he's about to get medieval.

Diesel retains the WWF Championship against King Mabel. During the match, King Mabel attacks the ref from behind with a shoulder tackle and sending him out of the ring. King Mabel and Sir Mo attack Diesel as the referee is down. Lex Luger tries to make the save, but a stunned Diesel attacks him and sends him out of the ring, thinking he is either King Mabel or Sir Mo. Luger comes to and goes after Sir Mo, brawling with Mo and chasing him back to the back. From there, Mabel misses a splash from the second rope and Diesel hits the clothesline from the second rope for the win.
