Vince McMahon infamously loathes pronouns, but the "You" in SummerSlam 1992's subtitle always felt like it was replacing an "I". That's to say, the Chairman never believed business would be so rotten domestically that he'd need to hop across the pond to draw a house that looked like the good old days.

But it was, and he did, and it did. Going on 30 years without a sequel is starting to feel cruel.
