WWF SummerSlam Countdown Show (August 29, 1994)

 

Original Airdate: August 29, 1994


Your Host is Todd Pettengill from inside the United Center in Chicago Illinois 


Leslie Nielsen skit. He will solve the case of the Undertaker tonight


Todd opens things up way, way, way up in one of the luxury boxes. This arena always looked incredible, and I wish they used it more, instead of the dingy Rosemost Horizon. Todd immediately announces that Diesel and Shawn Michaels have won the WWF Tag Team title from the Headshrinkers


Video package trying to explain/build the Undertaker/Undertaker match


Todd hangs out in the crowd. I always loved when Todd would say “Is that cool?!?” To this day, I genuinely don’t know if he meant it was a rhetorical question, or if was really unsure


New Generation ad, the ‘go get ‘em, champ’ one


Bret Hart/Owen Hart feud review video


Todd is showing off the commemorative chairs for the ringside seats


Todd goes over to where the cage is being stored backstage, and shows off how steel it is


New Generation ad 


Todd spots the owner of the building in the crowd, and they celebrate tonight, which marks the first televised event at the new venue


Lex Luger/Tatanka feud review video


Earlier today, cameras caught Ted DiBiase going into Lex’s dressing room with a duffel bag 


Jerry Lawler makes his entrance, just as Todd is having a Domino’s pizza delivered 


Another Nielsen skit


Vince is out, and complaining that he didn’t get any pizza


Todd goes into the ring, and hypes the crowd up one last time. He spots Davey Boy Smith at ringside, and Pettengill counts down to the show to wrap up


BUExperience: Let’s watch SummerSlam!
