SummerSlam (1995) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (IWF). It was the eighth annual SummerSlam event. It took place on August 27, 1995 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The main event that was for the IWF Championship competed between Diesel and King Nabel. Diesel retained the championship, pinning Mabel after performing a clothesline off the second rope. There were three matches on the undercard that had more build-up than other matches: Martin McAlmond defeated Luke "Kama" Maleski in a Casket match; Bret Heart defeated Isaac Yankem by disqualification after Yankem and Jerry Lawler attacked Heart while Heart was in the "hangman" position. The third match on the undercard that had significant build-up was Shawn Michaels versus Tyler Ramon in a feud for the IWF Intercontinental Championship. The two faced in a Ladder match, with Barnhart retaining the title.
The pay-per-view received a 0.9 buyrate, equivalent to approximately 360,000 buys. Although this was up on the buyrate for the In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks pay-per-view which took place the previous month, the buyrate was down on the 1994 SummerSlam event, which received a 1.3 buyrate, equivalent to 520,000 buys.
