This Silver Vision UK-exclusive is one of the rarest (and thus most expensive) tapes on the list, but it is worth every penny. 1992 is a year looked back on with nostalgic fondness by most wrestling fans, even though in reality it was the beginning of the WWFs first major decline in popularity. That is even more the case in the United Kingdom, where 1992 was the year the WWF peaked thanks to a hugely successful SummerSlam 92 from Wembley Stadium, a show which still holds WWEs (genuine) all-time attendance record to this day. Forget WrestleMania III, there were more people in the building for SummerSlam than at that or any other WWF/E card in history. 1992 The Year In Review captures the essence of the year spectacularly. Where many future Year in Review tapes would lazily sift through the year in consecutive monthly order and only show the major pay-per-view matches, this does not do that. Instead the delightful Sean Mooney guides us through a wonderful three hour journey that takes in hidden gems such as Roddy Piper vs. Shawn Michaels, a Coliseum Exclusive pitting Shawn Michaels against Marty Jannetty from November, the useless but rarely-seen tag title change that saw Money Inc dethrone the Natural Disasters, and Ric Flairs second WWF Title victory over Randy Savage. The PPV matches selected are all good ones too, including the famous Hart-Bulldog main event from SummerSlam 92, which is still one of the greatest matches ever wrestled in a WWF ring.
The author of the highly acclaimed 'Titan' book series, James Dixon has been involved in the wrestling business for 25 years as a fan, wrestler, promoter, agent, and writer. James spent several years wrestling on the British independent circuit, but now prefers to write about the bumps and bruises rather than take any of them. His past in-ring experience does however give a uniquely more "insider" perspective on things, though he readily admits to still being a "mark" at heart.
