On this day August 29, 1988, the very first WWF SummerSlam took place at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. The event marked a historic moment in professional wrestling, with the main event featuring Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage teaming up to defeat André the Giant and Ted DiBiase. This electrifying match set the tone for what would become one of the WWF’s (now WWE) most anticipated annual events, solidifying SummerSlam as a cornerstone of wrestling entertainment.
