[8.0] "The event is very entertaining with pretty interesting appearances by gimmick types of wrestlers. Impressive that they filled The Wembley Stadium. There a lot of humorous commentary throughout and some pretty good matches although couplebof them were somewhat on the slower side but the show was generally entertaining."

[5.0] "A one match show if there ever was one. Main event is an all timer, but it doesn't make the rest of the card any better. Savage vs Warrior could've been something, but the ridiculous overbooking robbed us of another great bout between the two. As for the other matches, there isn't really anything positive to be said about them. Pretty much just squashes (that actually went too long in some cases) and filler."

[7.0] "This was a good show, even if the main reason for it being good was just one match; the classic Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith match. Randy Savage vs. Ultimate Warrior was the second best match (even if it wasn't as good as their WrestleMania VII match). There were tons of fun moments on this show to keep it entertaining pretty much all the time, though, including the Shawn Michaels vs. Rick Martel match, for example."

[5.0] "A great main event does not a good show make. This card was dull. Even Savage vs. Warrior just didn't do it for me. Main event was a solid technical dance but everything else was completely forgettable. The Intercontinental title match was good but it was a lot more angle than match. Not very good. Sorry British people :("

[7.0] "My rating for SummerSlam 1992 it's a 7/10, It was amazing and great to see WWF doing something on the Wembley Stadium, the event was great and the matches that really had a develop worked, they were entertaining and everything, but It rests points the matches that were under 5 minutes, quick Squash matches, and that didn't connect with me, but still I think it's a event that worked, it's historic, and deserves it's spot, just a little bit overrated. 7/10"
BorisSzczec wrote on 22.12.2025:
[7.0] "Solid event with huge fancy British crowd. Also this is like the first WWF show with so many special entrances. The undercard is just ok, I recommend particularly to watch Shawn vs The Model. There are two great matches also and this time Vince puts the correct one in main event. Savage vs Warrior is very, very awesome, but the main event is on another level for this time period. 7/10"

[5.0] "I just watched the 1992 SummerSlam PPV, and I thought the work rate was the best it has been so far. The crowd was hot through the whole show, and it had some memorable moments. However, there were two count-out finishes and three matches that went less than five minutes, with one of them ending in a DQ. I just expect more from a PPV card than a five-minute squash at this point."

"One of Warrior's best matches, alongside the one with Rude and the one with Hogan at WrestleMania. Hart again stole the show and would've been clearly 'Mr.Summerslam' at this point."

[5.0] "While the venue and crowd certainly amplify the excitement and aura of the environment, unfortunately, like many WWF PPVs of this time, the card is largely average with only few exceptions.

[7.0] "As impressive as the old Wembley stadium and its crowd presence is here, this is an overall weird card that is almost entirely saved by the spectacle of its legendary main event. Many of the booked finish decisions throughout the night are even bad by Golden Era standards. I think a lot of people primarily love this event because it has the spectacle feeling of a huge WrestleMania, which was not yet common of the SummerSlams during the Golden Era, and I can understand that. Quite frankly, the statistical details of this card are just bizarre. In my view, there are exactly two especially noteworthy matches on this card by qualification of both carrying stakes and providing good, well-executed wrestling entertainment value, but BOTH are face vs. face matches. I think it is a big storytelling no-no to fall back on more than a "once in awhile" use of the face vs face showcase match. Even weirder, believe it or not, only one heel goes over during this entire show, and it is literally one of the worst matches in WWF history, with Nailz very slowly powersquashing Virgil with a series of what feels like 20 (very awkwardly and stiffly delivered) choke holds in a row while maintaining the expression of a baby with a loaded diaper throughout. The Undertaker, at possibly the height of his character mystique and popularity here in the early to mid 90's, is once again handed a terrible squash match booking versus an opponent with poor ring skills that has no idea how to help Taker translate his incredible raw athletic talent into a compelling match. We get a hearse intro for Taker at least, which is super badass. The Savage/Warrior match is good, but nowhere near as good as their classic retirement match at WM7. What really saves this whole show from being subpar is the incredible main event match for the IC belt. Bulldog/Hart is a masterpiece of storytelling, atmosphere and ring ability: pretty clearly the match of the night here, and good on WWF for actually letting Bulldog go over in England! It's amazing that these two were able to pull off such a classic, considering what has been reported about the Bulldog's state entering this match. I'm still going to call the match a total 5* banger, but my one big problem with this match is one specific mannerism of the crowd. I'm not taking off points for this, but man do I need to vent for a moment... While I appreciate the loudness of the British crowd, I absolutely abhor the literally constant air horn chant more than words can explain. A few times per match? Sure, that would be fine. Endlessly, though? Get out of here.. Terrible! Just because WWF did the UK a favor and stopped there for a few big 1992 shows doesn't mean wrestling needs to take on the most obnoxious aspects of football culture. Maybe just cheer loudly instead of trying to make everything about yourselves with the least creative chant of all time over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Give Bret all the credit in the world for buckling down to guide this masterpiece Intercontinental Title match and honestly Bulldog, as well, for somehow overcoming his poor decisions to equal Bret's effort."

[8.0] "Only two matches were great: Warrior Vs. Savage and Bret Vs. Bulldog. HBK Vs. Martel was fun in a comedic way, but mostly this was a lot of midcard stuff. The setting, however, enhanced the overall event and made it so much better."

[6.0] "6.3/10: a very memorable summerslam, but idk if 2-3 matches would really make it a banger, because other matches were just straight up forgettable."

[4.0] "The main event is perfect. The rest of the card is average at best. The atmosphere at Wembley is really cool, but I can't give this more than a four. Warrior vs. Savage was too long, there were a lot of terrible finishes (a classic trope of this era) and McMahon at commentary is painful to hear."

[9.0] "I think overall this is a very good summerslam you have two fantastic matches between savage vs warrior and hart vs bulldog this is just a really good ppv."
KingsCrossing wrote on 19.05.2024:
[8.0] "While the matches aren't all peak professional wrestling, the spectacle and grandeur of the event makes SummerSlam 1992 greater than the sum of its parts. Bulldog vs. Hart is well known as a classic, but Savage and Warrior is an underrated gem as well. Some fans may disagree, but I don't think there's a bad match on the card, and the variety on display helps to make the show a breeze to watch (and that's despite two matches closing in on the half hour mark). It's a colourful show with a lot of personality, and the terrific Wembley atmosphere makes the night feel special in a way that it otherwise wouldn't have. If I had to summarise the show in one word, it'd simply be 'fun', and the lively crowd is a big part of that. At the time this show aired it stood out as easily one of the best PPVs in promotion history, and while I wouldn't consider that to be the case anymore in 2024, it's still a landmark event that is well worth watching for anybody who appreciates the old school WWF style of wrestling, and for my money the main event post-match is still one of the best, most memorable endings to any PPV ever."

[8.0] "This is easily the best of the early SummerSlam's and this was also my favourite early WWF PPV since Mania 3; in fact, tied with Mania 3 as my favourite all together. The atmosphere of this huge show in Wembley Stadium was great. A great main event here; it's nice for the main event to be the best match of the show for once. The worst match on this card was Nailz vs Virgil and even that wasn't god-awful. I can definitely recommend giving this show a watch."

[5.0] "Another mixed bag of a classic show. Opening tag match is fairly average. I like the shor burst of intensity LOD have but its not anyones best bout. No Doomsday Device at the end is pretty dissapointing as well (5/10) Nailz/Virgil is just rubbish (0/10) Martel/Michaels had some fun wrestling between the two and I liked the whole Sherri story around it. Would've been better with a proper finish instead of the count out (6/10) The Tag title match started off alright but it started draggin a ton when the Beverlies were on top. I just can't believe them dominating onver Earthquake and Typhoon for so long (4/10) Crush/Repo Man is filler at least better than the other squas (3/10) Savage/Warrior is my MOTN the ending is very overbooked, but I enjoyed it. Savage was on fire the whole match, told a great story and got Warrior to look great once again. A notch below their Mania match but very close (9/10) Undertaker/Kamala is another filler match a bit better than the previous two thanks to Taker's persence, but not by much specially with the DQ (3/10) Bret/Bulldog is a very good technical match with a very hot crowd but I never got hooked by it enough to call it a banger for some reason. Some portions in the middle were a bit slow but of course the best parts are very good as you would expect. Didn't like it as much as I though I would but still think its very good (8/10)"

[4.0] "Let's all be honest with each other here. This was a one match card. Sure, maybe you're a big LOD fan. Maybe you can get some enjoyment out of the WWF title match. Maybe you think the Undertaker's entrance and character work add a lot. Any or all of these can be true, but at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that every other match on this card besides the main event was alright at best. Not only were all the matches pretty poor, but there was so much overbooking and filler matches on this card. And I personally think the main event is insanely overrated. I'd dare anyone who loves this show to re-watch it with your TV muted, and see if you still think it holds up. Now, I'm not trying to say that the crowd should bare no impact on a show. Of course a crowd can feed a show or help kill it. But I also think it's very important to not let the crowd by itself fuel your emotion. The best crowd in the world can't make a bad match good. They can only try and help hide it. And the absolutely raucous crowd is far and away the best thing about this card. But I can't give this show a good rating just because the crowd was amazing when the entire thing had close to no substance. This show is an important show, and I think it proves then and now that more PPVs (or PLE's now) need to be held in the U.K. because of how passionate the fans are both then and still now. But important and good aren't synonymous. And for me, this event was okay at the very best. Certainly not good."

[5.0] "It gets a pass from me due to the incredible crowd and the quality of the main event, because everything else was just mid or even bad. The opener was okay and The Legion of Doom really warmed up the fans, but then Martel vs Michaels happened and it was rotten - they tried to do their best but the whole angle was just a piece of crap. The WWF Championship Match I liked until Flair and Perfect started interfering, because they made it way too long and you couldn't even understand their motive here. Taker vs Kamala was alright for what it was and the main event was phenomenal when it comes to playing up to the crowd. Mid show, but I wasn't bored thanks to the crowd."
SoundwaveAU wrote on 14.09.2023:
[4.0] "Definitely a bad show. Everything was either middling or bad with the exception of the main event, which is good but not great, certainly not good enough to make up for the crap beforehand. To add to this, I watched a restored version featuring the home video exclusive dark matches, so I had more shit matches to watch."

[6.0] "The undercard was mostly dreadful and I don't rate the two title matches quite as high as overs but the crowd always keep this good. I love any outdoor show which goes from day light through dusk to darkness."

[7.0] "Definitely worth checking out for Hitman's masterpiece in carrying a stoned Bulldog to a 5 star classic and Savage gets a good match out of Warrior. The rest of the show was bleh but the atmosphere was great and the crowd was with it most of the day."
Tomas Cunha wrote on 24.03.2022:
[8.0] "It's one of those shows where what had to deliver did exactly so. While the rest isn't amazing and sometimes not even close to it, the awesome atmosphere and crowd reactions elevate everything to the next level. Overall, this show is a great watch from top to bottom, and I definitely recommend you giving it a look."

[8.0] "The build to this show was very good and with such a large audience it actually felt like a WrestleMania. The environment of this show is awesome and the UK crowd made the matches more enjoyable. The two big title matches delivered yet again. Savage carried Warrior to another great match and the story in the match was fantastic and even though it ended in a count-out it made perfect sense. Bret/Bulldog is a true definition of great technical wrestling and is my favorite SummerSlam match of all time. Davey winning the title was an awesome moment and quite possibly the best SummerSlam moment of all time. There are two other decent matches on the show which are LOD/Money Inc. and Shawn/Martel. The rest of the matches are bad but are kept short. Awesome show."
TigerDiver wrote on 28.07.2021:
[8.0] "Great show. Although not the greatest ever like many people were claiming it to be. There's a great match in Warrior/Savage and an all-time classic in Bret/Bulldog. I also found HBK/Martel to be very good and the tag opener to be solid. The rest of the show was filler at best however, and frankly awful. The goods mostly outweigh the bads here and the atmosphere was ELECTRIC, so it's enough for an eight."

[8.0] "The Legion of Doom vs. Money Inc. Ah yes. Rocco. Bane of my existence. See, the LOD was growing stale, so Vince brought in their old manager Paul Ellering to freshen up their act. Now, Ellering? s old character was a power-lifting badass so naturally Vince brought him in as a wacky ventriloquist with a dummy named Rocco. Rocco was no Socko. No one was interested here, neither the wrestlers nor the fans. *. Nailz vs. Virgil. Nailz is the marginally talented wrestler Vince stole away from the AWA and turned into a natural enemy for the Big Boss Man. Despite Nailz insistence that he was going to kill the Boss Man on his release from prison, he was paroled anyway. Thankfully, he limited his attempts at revenge to in-ring exploits that we can see on our wrestling show and not a more effective backjump in the parking. Nailz was horrible. About this, there can be no dispute. 0 stars. Shawn Michaels vs. Rick Martel. The stipulation was put in place by Sherri because she was torn between the two pretty boys. Shawn cost Martel the Intercontinental Title to set this up, even though both guys are heels. Not what you? d call a great wrestling match, but all the antics were highly entertaining. **3/4. The Natural Disasters vs. The Beverly Brothers. The Disasters were pretty woeful babyfaces because of their size, and this gimmick did the Beverlys no favors. *. Crush vs. Repo Man. DEMOLITION EXPLODES! Repo Man is Barry Darsow, formerly Smash II in Demolition. Crush was? well, Crush. I? m not sure if we were supposed to be fooled by the frosted hair, but Crush is pretty clearly Demolition? s Crush. Crush looked much better in his feud with Shawn Michaels. 1/2*. Randy Savage vs. The Ultimate Warrior. Both guys are babyfaces, but they don? t trust each other. As with their previous classic, this one is remembered more for the storytelling and sideline antics than for the match itself. It? s not quite on that level, but it? s a worthy successor, and you should try to see it at least once. ***3/4. The Undertaker vs. Kamala. The Undertaker? s cache grew when he turned babyface, but it was immediately squelched by the longest series of crappy feuds anyone has ever seen. From 1992-96 it was nothing but Taker vs. a big slug, usually involving the mystical powers of the urn. 1/2*. Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog. Just in case being The British Bulldog in London was not enough to get fans on his side, they have Lennox Lewis come with him. I? m not sure what else to say about this match. It? s one of the top three Intercontinental Title matches of all time, and probably the best straight-up wrestling match for that title. A near-perfect match that showed both guys at their peaks. Probably the best non-gimmick match ever for the IC Title, and one of the best matches in WWE history period. *****. Like its predecessor, this one offers a little bit of everything for everyone. This show had peaks and valleys, but it has a classic in the main event and a good world title match."

[7.0] "Good Show, Good Atmosphere one of the first WWE PPV Shows Outdoor in the Stadium if not the first ever. Watching it on WWE Network I loved the British crowd , the British culture around it and the atmosphere itself. The Show itself, probably it should be seen with the standard of the time, but, main events apart, it was not so great. I loved the match beetween MachoMan and UItimate Warrior, the chemistry that this two icons had was unbeliavable and probably Savage was the one that mixed better with Warrior. Great, not great as their WM VII encounter but overall really good exept for the ending, but I think it was again part of how the business worked at the time. The Main Event is great, I can't consider it great as many consider it because I don't really like that much Bret Hart, That match is really great but when I hear someone considering it one of the greatest match of all times I am in disagree. Bulldog wasn't in shape, there was some very obvious botches and Bret recalled in his DVD back in 2006 that Bulldog forgot the Whole script and Bret carried the Whole match (he consider it his best match mostly because of this factor). Great show, unique in his genre but not one of the greatest WWE shows ever."

[7.0] "Good show overall, not the best Summerslam ever but an enjoyable one. A two match show for me, though not the two you might think. Bret/Bulldog is a classic as advertised, but I actually didn't care much for the overlong, convoluted Warrior/Savage match. I thought Michaels/Martel was an absolute blast though, incredibly fun and more than a little funny. God bless Sherri, the woman was amazing. Nothing else stood out much either way."

[8.0] "If rate this show only for wrestling level, it's just not bad. Howewer the crowd made it great. LOD vs Money Inc. is a solid opener. Michaels vs Martel isn't a great wrestling match but it has interesting concept of heel vs heel. Pretty entertaining for me. Also we have some forgettable squashes or just bad matches. But it doesn't matter because double main event is awesome. Savage vs Warrior is of course worse than at WrestleMania VII but it is a great match. WWF didn't want Warrior to lose. So if we anyway don't have clean win from Savage the ending is perfect. Howewer the best match of the night is unquestionobly Hart vs Bulldog. It is great that this match ends the show because it's just fantastic. Unbeliaveble psychology and story at the ring. Awesome triumph for Bulldog in his home country. Five stars in my opinion."

[3.0] "The main event was fantastic and provided one of the greatest pops of all time. The Heavyweight title match was also very good, and probably would have gone down as Warrior's best match of all time if not for the disappointing Count Out ending. The rest of the card wasn't good, however, and other than the decent opening tag team match, I'd venture so far as to say the rest of the matches were downright bad."

[7.0] "There is a must see match, a great match and a good match, three matches worthy of your time at Summerslam 1992. Most of the event has a bad line-up, Nailz vs Virgil is to avoid, LOD vs DiBiase & IRS very low quality, The Undertaker vs Kamala is on par of some of Taker matches of 1994, terrible but at least it's short (and I like the story of Kamala scared of the casket). Shawn Michaels vs Ric Martel is good but it's all based on Sheri's story. Randy Savage vs The Ultimate Warrior isn't the perfect rematch, the wrestlers were tired but it's enjoyable. The main event is true strongest point of Summerslam."
Zach wrote on 12.03.2016:
[4.0] "Outside of a great main event, this event was overall crummy-to-disappointing. I expected more out of some of the other matches (even if they were still good), but the headliner is definitely the standout. You'd probably be safe to skip the other matches and just watch Bulldog/Bret, but you'd be missing out on some overall great atmosphere. I'd probably recommend watching this event, even if I don't think, overall, that it is particularly great."
