10 Times WWE SummerSlam Was Better Than WrestleMania

8. SummerSlam 1992

There are a lot of similarities between WrestleMania VII and SummerSlam in 1992, but two enormous differences came to define them decades after the fact.

A lack of Hulk Hogan on a pay-per-view for the first time since the company used the medium in the mid-1980s was a shock to the system for the paying public on the 'Real American's side of the Atlantic. The problem didn't extend to the UK, where the first - and to date, only - Big Four show to take place in Great Britain gave WWE one of their biggest crowds in history and a show that never felt flat as a result.

'The Show Of Shows' offered an excellent pair of bouts in Bret Hart Vs Roddy Piper and Randy Savage Vs Ric Flair for the top singles title, but neither reached the peaks of their equivalents in August. 'The Hitman's masterful carry job of Davey Boy Smith remains one of his crowning achievements, while Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior came within a whisker of their WrestleMania VII epic just over a year earlier.
