SummerSlam (1988) was the first annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view event. It was produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and took place on August 29, 1988 in Madison Square Garden, located in New York City, New York. The pay-per-view was created to help the company compete against rival promotion World Championship Wrestling (formally Jim Crockett Promotions). It was one of the first four annual pay-per-view events produced by the WWF, along with WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. Reviews for the event were mixed.

Ten professional wrestling matches, performances with pre-determined outcomes between wrestlers with fictional personalities that are portrayed as real, were featured. The main match of the preliminary bouts was the Intercontinental Championship match between The Ultimate Warrior (Brian Hellwig) and the reigning champion The Honky Tonk Man (Roy Farris). The Ultimate Warrior won the match in approximately thirty seconds to end the longest Intercontinental Championship reign up to that point. The main event was a match pitting The Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan [Terry Bollea] and Randy Savage [Randall Poffo]) against their long-time rivals, The Mega Bucks (Ted DiBiase and André the Giant [André Roussimoff]).Hogan and Savage won the match after Miss Elizabeth (Elizabeth Hulette), Savage's wife and manager, distracted the referee by removing her skirt to reveal her underwear. After SummerSlam, Hogan and Savage were scripted to begin an on-screen feud, culminating at WrestleMania V, where Hogan won the WWF Championship from Savage.
