Beach Blast 92 is one of the few cards in this entire tournament where I don't look at the undercard matches and think 'what the hell was happening there'
Other than Valentine/Bagwell but I guess you gotta have one.

1992 was really the perfect version of the event. It's smaller, there's still a battle royal at the end, and while the teams aren't as random sounding as 1991, they're not as blatantly rigged as 1996.
