If You Missed WWF in 1992... I Feel Bad For You

1992 was one of the most important transition years in WWF history. Hulk Hogan was beginning to step away from the spotlight. Ric Flair arrived as the reigning WWF Champion and immediately changed the landscape. Randy Savage was still fighting at the highest level, while Bret Hart was quietly becoming the man who would help lead the company into a completely new era. At the same time, The Undertaker was becoming one of wrestling’s most unforgettable attractions, Shawn Michaels was beginning his transformation into a singles superstar, and names like Mr. Perfect, Roddy Piper, Sid Justice, The British Bulldog, Razor Ramon and Yokozuna all played major roles in a year filled with change. And then came SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium — more than 80,000 fans watching The British Bulldog and Bret Hart create one of the most iconic moments of the decade. But behind the spectacle, WWF was changing. The steroid scandal was hanging over the company, familiar stars were disappearing, and Vince McMahon was being forced to find a new generation of wrestlers capable of carrying the promotion forward. This is the story of WWF in 1992 — the year the Hulkamania era began to fade and a completely different WWF started to emerge.
