Summerslam 1994 was the tenth Summerslam event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 21st August 1994

## Background

The main match heading into Summerslam is World Heaviweight champion Doink The Clown defending against The Undertaker. Since winning the title at Survivor Series, Doink has put fear in everyone's minds, even the deadman Undertaker has suffered from his mind games towards close friend Bam Bam Bigelow. At Wrestlemania 10, Doink choked out Taker on the corner as the ref counted to 5 which led to Doink being DQ'd, they had a rematch at In Your House 11 but Doink yet again won, Undertaker and Bam Bam put into play "Plan B" as they tried to stop Doink from taking over Smackdown, that plan started with almost all of the SD roster helping them out to kidnap Doink's slave Barry Horowitz. Taker and Bam Bam tied him to a chair on "death valley" as they tried their best to bring Horowitz back to his state before Survivor Series 1992(Horowitz was the original person who tried to take down Doink as he knew him as a kid before he became this monster), Taker went overboard big booting him and beating him up until he was a bloody mess. Eventually, Doink found death valley, Bam Bam threatened to put Horowitz on fire but Doink wasn't scared as they needed Horowitz so they wouldn't do that, Bam Bam had a preposition: Taker vs Doink in a steel cage match, no interferences, no mindtricks, if Doink wins, Horowitz is let go, if Taker wins, Doink is defeated and leaves forever. Doink accepted but 2 weeks later still managed to get Horowitz out of death valley as both men attacked Bam Bam and Taker, they had a huge tag match last friday which Taker managed to pin Horowitz completely clean

On the RAW side, Bret Hart will defend his WWF Championship against Ricky Steamboat. At Summerslam 1986, Bret's singles career kickstarted as he defeated Steamboat to become Intercontinental champion, Steamboat defeated Bret in a G1 match later on the year and they had their last match at Royal Rumble 1988 with a fully heel Steamboat trying to take the IC title from Bret who had held it for 500+ days but he failed, Steamboat left WWF after the rumble. He returned as he was inducted into the 1994 Hall of Fame, he had one final match against Owen Hart at Wrestlemania 10 for the european title but didn't win. At In Your House 13, Bret was getting beaten down by Diesel, Bundy and Rick Martel when Steamboat made his return and helped out Bret but then picked up the WWF Championship and raised it up high. Steamboat said he wanted to end his career on top, winning the WWF title against the face of the company, a face of the company that Steamboat himself helped build up with their matches years ago. Steamboat had to defeat Martel but he got the match, Bret has really wanted to face Ricky and this will be mostly a respectful match

123 Kid won the 1994 King of the Ring and decided to challenge Rick Martel for the Intercontinental Championship, Martel intially refused as he wanted to become a double champion winning the WWF Championship off Bret Hart but after a loss against Ricky Steamboat, his dream was dead so he accepted 123 Kid's challenge, he's pissed and has promised that he will take his rage out on 123 Kid

Shawn started going for the european title as soon as he was traded to Smackdown but he got sidetracked by a feud against Yokozuna, he got back to track SCMing Ramon during a european title defense. He defeated former champion Mr.Perfect to get a match against Ramon and they had a singles match against each other which Shawn won to choose the stipulation, he chose a ladder match

Since Diesel, Bundy and Rick Martel started feuding with Bret Hart and beating him up at every chance they got, New Foundation helped out their family also at every chance they got but they kept being tormented and beat up by Diesel and Bundy, being thrown off the stage, through tables, etc. It came to a point where Bulldog couldn't compete in the King of the Ring due to injuries caused by Diesel and Bundy, they finally accepted a tag title match against them tonight

Alundra Blayze became the inaugural women's champion, Luna Vachon and Bull Nakano formed an alliance as they didn't feel like Alundra was the right fit as the face of the women's division, Alundra accepted a match against Vachon at In Your House 13 which ended in a DQ as Bull Nakano entered the ring and attacked Alundra, Vachon was pissed and Nakano turned on her, Alundra decided to have a triple threat against her 2 biggest challengers

Owen Hart and Mr.Perfect have had a long running feud since 1992, Owen defeated Perfect to become the inaugural european champion and Perfect called him the future of this company but during Owen's 2 year long reign, he became increasingly more cocky as his matches against Perfect became more and more disrespectful, Owen had only 1 goal which was to break Bret Hart's record of 728 days as IC champion, he was on his 726th day and only had to defeat 1 more challenger before completing his goal, he did an open challenge at Smackdown and Mr.Perfect answered it finally defeating Owen and ending his european title reign at 726 days, Owen was livid and finally turned heel after teasing it for the better part of a year. Owen proceeded to cost Perfect the european title at King of the Ring which Perfect responded by costing Owen the KOTR finals. Perfect wanted one more match against Owen but Owen didn't want it anymore as Perfect wasn't european champion, Harley Race made a beat the clock challenge where if Perfect won, he would get the match and Perfect did. Owen says he has beaten Perfect thousands of times and his win a few months ago was a fluke, so he added the stipulation that the loser would be forced to leave WWF until Royal Rumble

Tatanka introduced Aldo Montoya to WWF at In Your House 13, Duke Droese defeated Tatanka a day later at RAW and Aldo challenged him to a match tonight. The only relevant part of this feud happened when Aldo was on the commentator's team talking about how good Portugal is when Duke threw a trash can right on his head
