some interesting tidbits from SummerSlam 1992
- The infamous fight between Nailz (Kevin Wachloz) and Vince McMahon which allegedly had Walchoz choking Vince was over Walchoz’s payoff for his SummerSlam 1992 match against Virgil. Wacholz allegedly choked Vince to the point where the CEO turned blue.
- Flair claims that the biggest bar tab he ever ran up occurred at SummerSlam 1992. Flair has mentioned this several times, including his WWE Hall of Fame speech. The irony of that is Flair didn’t even wrestle on the card so I’d can’t imagine his payoff was all that much for appearing at ringside during the Warrior vs. Savage match. Hopefully he made enough to cover his $3600 tab.
- Road Warrior Hawk didn't get on the flight to come back to the U.S. and left the company over the wooden dummy called “Rocco” that was being brought to ringside that creative wanted to be a part of their team. Hawk didn't return to the WWE until 5 years later.
