Due to its beach theme, the stage where wrestlers made their entrances was decorated with beach related items, such as surfboardsand sand. The beach theme lent to its summer scheduling of July. The theme was also reflected in the places where WCW chose to hold the event; all of the shows emanated from cities in either Florida or California, two U.S. statesrenowned for their warm weather. It was WCW's response to the World Wrestling Federation's SummerSlam.

I remember always wanting to order this Pay Per View but never could afford it. Always loved the name. WCW holds a place in my memory. It was a good wrestling promotion.
