SummerSlam (1993)

The 1993 SummerSlam was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the sixth annual SummerSlam and took place on Monday, August 30, 1993, at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan and featured 10 televised matches. All three of the WWF's then-active championships were defended at the event. The main event saw Lex Luger challenge Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. On the undercard, The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defended the WWF Tag Team Championship against The Heavenly Bodies (Jimmy Del Ray and Tom Prichard), and Shawn Michaels defended the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect. In addition to the title matches, Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler were scheduled to wrestle to settle their feud and determine who would be named "Undisputed King of the World Wrestling Federation." The event received generally mixed reviews, with many of the matches being viewed as generally average, though the WWF Tag Team Championship match was positively received. Conversely, much like their first encounter, the Rest in Peace match between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzalez was widely panned.
