SummerSlam 1991 took place on August 26, 1991, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This event is best known for the tagline "A Match Made in Heaven, A Match Made in Hell", referring to both a wedding and a high-stakes tag team main event.

The show’s biggest match featured Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior defeating Sgt. Slaughter, Colonel Mustafa, and General Adnan in a handicap tag team match with Sid Justice as the special guest referee. Hogan and Warrior overcame the odds, with Hogan securing the victory after hitting Slaughter with his signature leg drop.

The event also featured Bret "The Hitman" Hart capturing the WWF Intercontinental Championship by defeating Mr. Perfect in one of the greatest matches of all time. This victory marked Hart’s rise as a top singles competitor.

Another major moment was The Legion of Doom defeating The Nasty Boys in a Street Fight to win the WWF Tag Team Championships, making LOD the first team to hold the WWF, NWA, and AWA tag titles.

The "Match Made in Heaven" was the in-ring wedding of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, which closed the show in a rare non-wrestling segment. However, their happiness was short-lived, as Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Undertaker crashed the wedding during the reception, setting up a major feud.

SummerSlam 1991 is remembered for its epic matches, emotional moments, and one of the best Intercontinental Championship matches in history, making it one of the most beloved WWF events of the early '90s.
