10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 1993 Facts
1. It Was The First SummerSlam Where No Titles Changed Hands
Prior to 1991, the only pay-per-views that featured championships changing hands were WrestleMania and SummerSlam. Most champions took part in the Royal Rumble gauntlet, while Survivor Series was exclusively for tag team elimination warfare. It's a big reason why the Intercontinental belt changed hands at the first five SummerSlams, while the Tag Team straps were swapped at two of them: a crucial title swap would be seen by the biggest possible audience.
When Luger's shoo-in title win at SummerSlam 1993 was anything but, it capped off a somewhat disappointing evening where very little precedent was set. Both singles title matches ended in countouts, while the Steiners kept their Tag Team belts in a win over a newer team to the WWE fold.
Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler's match was technically to determine the true "King" of WWE, but in terms of the regularly-defended gold, SummerSlam 1993 made a sort of underwhelming history.
