Wiki.

The 1995 SummerSlam was the eighth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on August 27, 1995, at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A total of nine matches were contested at the event.

The main event was for the WWF Championship, and was between Diesel, and King Mabel. Diesel retained the championship, pinning Mabel after performing a clothesline off the second rope. There were three matches on the undercard that had more build-up than other matches: The Undertaker defeated Kama in a Casket match; Bret Hart defeated Isaac Yankem by disqualification after Yankem, and Jerry Lawler attacked Hart while Hart was in the "hangman" position. The third match on the undercard that had significant build-up was Shawn Michaels versus Razor Ramon in a feud for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. The two faced off in a Ladder match, with Michaels retaining the title.

The pay-per-view received a 0.9 buyrate, equivalent to approximately 205,000 buys in 1995 (1.0 equated to roughly 230,000 homes in the domestic market that year). Although this was up on the budget for the In Your House 2 pay-per-view, which took place the previous month, the budget was down on the 1994 SummerSlam event, which received a 1.3 buyrate.

Summerslam 1995 was the last WWF PPV before the Monday Night War era of September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001, during which WWF's Raw, and World Championship Wrestling's Nitro competed for ratings in a weekly Monday night time slot, which is now widely seen as the "golden age" of pro-wrestling.
