(If you don’t mind something old and re-purposed, here’s something that was posted in 2015 and reposted in 2020. That way, we can continue the string of IYH PPV musings uninterrupted!)

It’s another in a long line of two-hour throwaway In Your House PPVs that nobody in their right mind should care about, except this time it’s in CANADA. This is one month after King Of The Ring, where Austin 3:16 was born, Mankind drew first blood (not literally) against the Undertaker, and Ahmed Johnson won the IC title… oh and Shawn Michaels was there too, for some reason.

Fun little story behind this one; while this PPV took place on Sunday night, there was a nasty storm that killed the power in the arena, which meant lots of problems in the arena (everyone wrestled in the dark) as well as out (some PPV feed issues.) So the WWF did something special for their Tuesday replay, in which they replay the two matches from the Sunday show, but they’d also air a new set of matches from the arena live.

In all honesty, I thought that was a pretty cool move. At any other time, they could’ve went with half a PPV showing and be done with it… but they offered a make-up show and earned a bit of good will. In any event, how was this Beware Of Dog show?

Let’s find out.

Yeah, we’re doing another one of these In Your House shows… I want to cover the 1996 batch for the next few weeks before we move on to something else, expect a few more of these until May…

In any event, this is a notable event because it’s the last major appearance of two big names who will be soon hold a curtain call and be outsiders in a rival promotion… but that is then. This is now. Let’s get on with it.

Yeah, so I’ve been catching up on these In Your House shows as of late because I figured “why not?”

Beginning in 1995, the In Your House brand related to a series of monthly 2-hour PPVs that would occupy the months that didn’t already have a PPV scheduled. We’ve already looked at the 1995 shows ages ago and so we might as well continue the trend with the 1996 shows for the month.

Fun fact: This show took place on original Pinky Ranger Amy Jo Johnson’s birthday. Happy belated birthday, AJJ.

That’s about the only positive I can levy towards the show… yeah, of all the WWE B-shows, I ended up watching this complete and utter pile of shit. And the only reason was so I could witness live a December To Dismember in the making… holy fuck, why did I watch this fucking show?

I don’t think it should surprise anyone that it would take this long for me to post musings on the most recent of Summerslams. In a way, it makes sense because of the whole count-up experience, but generally, this is done because I split the viewing experience over several days. This was one of the easier shows to sit through. It was long, sure, but it didn’t feel like a chore and I didn’t feel like saving the rest for later. That’s a good thing.

So, here’s the deal. I did a VLOG thing on this show when it came out and I seem to recall enjoying the show for the most part. However, it’s been six years and with some time passing, I thought it’d be appropriate to revisit

For anyone interested, my thoughts on this show circa 2013 can be found here. Time has certainly changed certain mindsets, so let’s get to it.

Early 2012 saw the return of Brock Lesnar, who decimated John Cena in spectacular fashion in his first WWE match since 2004… and then Cena overcame the odds and beat Brock, because WWE ruins everything. Now it’s Summerslam, where Brock faces off against Triple H a.k.a. McSon-In-Law.

Might as well get it over with.

Another day, another year, another Summerslam, another John Cena vs. Randy Orton match, another reason to use the above image and tagline yet again… joy.
