For 30 years, Summerslam dominated the summer of professional wrestling and built a legacy as the second most important pay-per-view in the WWE’s calendar year behind Wrestlemania.  Over the years, the show has been used as a way to help young talent make a name for themselves and to allow legends from the past make a comeback. While not holding the prestige of a Wrestlemania, being featured in a big match on the Summerslam card can still do wonders for your career. Along the way, we have also been treated to some memorable shows that make the biggest party of the summer an essential part of our professional wrestling experience. In this series, I will be reviewing every single Summerslam leading up to the big event on August 19th 2018. I hope you join me on this journey and leave your thoughts in comments. The show’s ratings and overall grade is below. Enjoy. 

Overall show grade: A VERY ODD, yet very average, show! (C) Nothing noteworthy or worth watching more than once, but you managed to sit through the entire show entertained for the most part. Average matches, some good, some not so good. Storylines make little to no progression and booking at points are questionable. If you watch it, you’ll be entertained by it. However, you most likely won’t remember it as time goes by. A simple blueprint, by the books, show.

TATANKA HEEL TURN! Post-match, Luger argued with Tatanka. As Luger argued with Dibiase and even kicked the money away, Tatanka attacked Luger from behind with punches and chops. Vince: “It was a setup.” Lawler denied it. Tatanka hit his “End of the Trail” Samoan Drop finisher on Luger two times. Dibiase hugged Tatanka as the crowd booed them.
