*PROGRAMME REVIEW* WWF (WWE) European Rampage Again Tour 1992


This Monday we will be covering this programme, the 1992 European Rampage Again Tour. 


This tour ran from April 10th until April 19th and covered Barcelona. Milan, Wembley, Munich, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Birmingham, Glasgow, Rotterdam, Brussels, Kiel, Wembley, Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham and Sheffield. 

First page is an advertisement for the 1992 Superstars sticker collection, next to this is the WWF president's letter and a list of tour dates. 

First two page superstar is Ric Flair. Interesting to note this programme, unlike the last we reviewed is only in English, no German. 


Next up in another two page spread is Jake The Snake Roberts, followed by The Undertaker with Paul Bearer. 


Sid Justice is next, also in a two page spread, managed by Harvey Whippleman. 


Fan favourite British Bulldog is next in the programme followed by a two page spread on Rowdy Roddy Piper.



Bret Hart follows on from Roddy Piper, again, in a two page spread.

Randy Savage is up next with Miss Elizabeth with a low down on each. After them the next two page feature is on Legion of Doom.


Centre pages is a selection of photos entitled WWF conquers Europe. It features photos from London, Glasgow and Paris.


What follows is two pages of tag teams. Each having a one page spread, The Nasty Boys with Jimmy Hart and the Bushwhackers. They have joint low downs.


After that we have four superstars over two pages. Sgt. Slaughter & Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Million Dollar Man and I.R.S. Unlike the previous tag teams they still recognise these superstars as individual wrestlers.



Following this is two one page spreads on The Model Rick Martel and Shawn Michaels with Sensational Sherri. Warlord and Repo Man are next, both also with one page spreads.


The next two pages are Big Boss Man and El Matador, both with one page spreads.

Interesting to note, on the next page is an advertisement for Summerslam 1992. As of this programme going to print they were still going to be hosting Summerslam in Washington. They are advertising travel packages/holidays for UK fans including 10 days in Florida, a weekend in Washington and premium tickets to Summerslam. Prices started from £650 for adults and £350 for children.

They are also advertising travel packages for Survivor Series.

Next to this advertisement is a one page spread on Dino Bravo. 

Up next is the pages on lower card superstars. Over two pages is Tatanka, Virgil, Colonel Mustafa and Papa Shango. 

Following on from this is a one page advertisement for WWF videos, next to which is two more superstars, one page between them, the Berzerker and Kato.


Another advertisement for WWF videos and then another shared page for Owen Hart and Skinner. 

The last two pages of the programme are adverts for a computer game, the merchandise catalogue and the fancamera at venues.

Back page is another advertisement for WWF videos.

*PROGRAMME REVIEW* WWF (WWE) Summer Tour 1993 European Tour


Thought we would mix it up a bit for this post and review a programme. In the spotlight today is the Summer Tour 1993 Official Souvenir Programme. This was a European tour that covered Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. Also interesting to note, considering what a big presence he had in the programme, was that this was Hulk Hogan's last European tour before leaving for WCW.

This post will not be as text heavy as a magazine review as I'm sure you can understand but what we will be doing is listing the superstars contained and how much space they were allocated in the programme with a few pictures along the way.

First up is an open letter to the fans from Jack Tunney along side an advert for Silver Vision's newest releases.


On the following two pages we have our first superstar which is, of course, Hulk Hogan. The text on all of these pages is written in both English and German.



Next up is Yokozuna, another two page spread with pictures and text.



Following Yokozuna is Hacksaw Jim Duggan, another two page spread featuring text and pictures.


Crush follows Hacksaw with a two page spread, again featuring text and pictures.

After Crush we have The Steiner Brothers, again, text and pictures on two pages. The Head Shrinkers have the same, two page spread with text and pictures.


The centre pages are focused on Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania. These pages feature a series of photos of Hulk Hogan in and out of ring with and without fans. A sentence accompanies each photo.



After the centre pages we move on to the one page superstars.

Up first is Tatanka with Bam Bam Bigelow on the opposite page, both with text and one additional picture each along with the main picture.


Papa Shango sits to the right of an advert for the Royal Rumble video game. Again, he has text and one additional picture, same as the picture above.

El Matador sits opposite two adverts. One for badges and one for t-shirts.


El Matador also has text and one additional picture.





Next up is Predator ( Horace Hogan, nephew of Hulk Hogan) with, as you can see, text and one additional photo on a one page spread.

Bastian Booger follows Predator with, you've got it, text and one additional photo.





Terrific Terry Taylor and Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake are next. Both with text but Brutus does not have an additional photo.


The last two pages hold adverts.


Back page is a German advert for WWF Magazine. 

We have this and many more programmes available right now on our eBay store, perfect for signings!
