Winner: The British Bulldog (Crucifix)

• EA’s Take: Surprisingly good match here between two bulked-up Superstars. Despite his physique, Bulldog could always work a great match and really elevated The Warlord. Although, when you’ve faced the same guy for nearly a year you’re bound to get it down eventually. This long-running feud would finally be put to rest. Warlord’s departure would be right around the corner in April of 1992, with his final appearance being as an entry in the following month’s Royal Rumble. Bulldog’s future would bare a little similarity, appearing in the Royal Rumble, but not WrestleMania. Despite this, his increasing popularity would lead to him main eventing shows on WWF European tours. Due to his rise in popularity, the company would hold SummerSlam 1992 in front of over 80,000 fans.

Backstage: Sean Mooney is in the interview area with an enraged ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. Macho calls Roberts degrading Elizabeth the worst day of his life and blaming himself for it. Savage is losing his cool and can’t believe Jake put hands on his wife.

Winners: ‘The Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase & Repo Man (DiBiase/Interference)

• EA’s Take: The crowd is red hot for everything tonight, even coming fairly unglued for this basic tag team match. The rivalry continues between Virgil & DiBiase with a new player being introduced in Repo Man. Formerly known as Smash of Demolition, Repo Man was a sneaky character that repossessed other people’s belongings, being hired by DiBiase shortly after his debut to help gain back the Million Dollar Championship. The DiBiase/Virgil feud would subsequently morph into Repo/Virgil heading into the new year.
