From ladder To king Mabelabel man-eventing SummerSlam.

Welcome to the history of SummerSlam 1995 right here on the Wrestling History Channel.

Some people love this event, some people hate this event, but let's get into the history surrounding this event.

Now, it took place August 27th, 1995, Pittsburgh Civic Arena, 205,000 people purchased this event.

Now, the year before was 300,000, so we have seen a decline in buy rates in the WWF.

1994, SummerSlam, main event, Undertaker versus Undertaker.

SummerSlam 95, Diesel versus King Mabel.

You decide on which main event is better.

That's up to you.

But also, unfortunately, around this time,

on the same exact day as SummerSlam 95 was the last episode of Wrestling Challenge.

Now, if you're a certain age, you remember Superstars of Wrestling,

or just called superstars.

And this was the main show on Saturday mornings.

But if you were lucky enough, if you were one of those lucky few as a child, you also got on Saturday mornings, sometimes Sundays, wrestling challenge.

Now, I was lucky enough. I live in Boston, so we got superst Sundays, wrestling challenge. Now, I was lucky enough.

I live in Boston, so we got superstars in wrestling challenge.

Wrestling challenge was kind of a bonus depending on where you live.

If you lived in a small town, most likely you were not getting this program.

The final episode of Wrestling Challenge aired on the same day as SummerSlam 1995.
