by Logan Scisco So after a six week or so absence I’m back.  My reviews got backed up because of some graduate work and some teaching responsibilities, but we pick back up with the 1997 edition of SummerSlam.  Heading into the pay-per-view the WWF gang wars were heating up between the Nation of Domination, Los Boricuas, and the Disciples of Apocalypse, Steve Austin was becoming the top guy in the company, the Undertaker’s secret of allegedly killing his mother and father was revealed by Paul Bearer, who also revealed that the Undertaker’s brother Kane was alive, and the Hart Foundation had lots of enemies, including, but not limited to, Shawn Michaels, Austin, Ken Shamrock, Goldust, and the Legion of Doom.  There’s also a lingering feud between Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley that has been going on since the King of the Ring.

"Hey Scott, I had a quick question for you and the blogsters. I recentlysubscribed to WWE 24/7 and I was wondering how things were added onthere.

I was also wondering what versions of thingswere being shown, for instance, SummerSlam 1996 is on there right now,would that be the live ppv version or the commercial releaseversion...Also while Im writing this, I was wondering if I could get afree copy of your newest book, since I've been a supporter of yours,spanning all the way back to the rantsylvania days and I have your 3other books. Hey...you cant blame a guy for trying right? Thanks Scott" Ho ho, pretty sneaky at the end there. I do have a whole bunch of copies and I'll probably do some sort of contest once my friends and relatives have siphoned all the books they need off me, but that probably won't ...
