Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
zkonedog Following the epic Hogan/Warrior showdown of Wrestlemania VI, the WWF entered a bit of an awkward period. They couldn't push Hogan as hard as they had in the past, and the Warrior didn't prove to have much staying power. As such, this SummerSlam event ended up being a hodgepodge of awkward (though perhaps not terrible) matches.For example...-Texas Tornado being the one to snap Mr. Perfect's streak. Texas Tornado?! -Hogan vs. Earthquake in the penultimate match. It's one thing for five minutes of Hogan strutting when he's the champion. Doing it after a lackluster victory over a completely airless rival is quite another. Almost a little sickening. -The "big finale" sees Warrior and Rick Rude unable to put on much of a show in the steel cage. One has to think that the WWF was pretty panicked at this point, as the bloom went off the Warrior rose so quickly.The two quality matches in this event were:-Hart Foundation vs. Demolition (with new teammate Smash). I can't remember exactly, but I have a feeling Bret Hart will be going solo pretty soon, as he puts on too good of a show to be stuck in a tag team format. -Jake Roberts vs. Bad News Brown. During this era, could anyone energize an arena more than "The Snake"? He brings his A game pretty much every single time.Overall, then, SummerSlam '90 was an even event to judge. It wasn't completely bereft of talent or excitement, but it just felt so odd and awkward at the same time. Very much a transition period (but clearly the transition hadn't happened yet and perhaps no goal was even in sight).
amanwhorocks Yes, we have an intercontinental Title Tournament. Hope that Mr. Perfect won.1. Shawn Michaels/Marty Jannetty Vs Hercules/Paul Roma 6/10 2. Mr. Perfect Vs. The Texas Tornado - Hmm, new IC Champ 6/10 3. Sister Sherri Vs. Sapphire 4/10 4. The Warlord Vs. Tito Santana 5.5/10 5. World Tag Title Match: Hart Foundation Vs. Demolition 6/10 6. Bad News Brown Vs. Jake Roberts 5/10 7. Orient express Vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan/Nikolai Volkoff 4/10 8. Randy Savage Vs. Piggy Rhodes 4.5/10 9. Hulk Hogan Vs. Earthquake 4.5/10 10. The Ultimate Idiot Vs. Ricky Rude w. New Haircut Only for Rude 5/10 Last three matches was really weak except Rude.... Main event, ehm...
dave78 First ever event i watched thought it was real looking back its still a fantastic event the first match was excellent a real underdog fight with a realistic ending Perfect losing was a waste of one of the best characters ever he should of kept the title for a long time Warlord could have fought barbarian in a tag match with heenan and slick. The harts match could be the greatest tag match I've ever seen. i cannot understand why l.o.d where not used and even though hogan earthquake was good everyone wanted a hogan warrior rematch. Why bother wasting peoples time with bad news vs jake it was terrible and what has poor tito done to vince to be jobbed every two minutes
wwfhistoryguy *SPOILERS*In some ways, this one was terrible. Santana vs. Warlord, Bad News Brown vs. Jake, and Savage vs. Rhodes were just painful to watch. Savage and Rhodes actually had a great match months later on Saturday Night's Main Event (Dustin Rhodes' first tv appearance). The late Sapphire vs. Scary Sherri, potentially the worst match in SummerSlam history, didn't even happen.Marty Jannetty vs. Hercules and Paul Roma wasn't actually that bad. Marty actually came very close to winning. I'm sure they wanted to include Michaels in the match, but they had to stage the knee injury that occurred days before the event. Notice how Marty and Shawn walk to the ring rather than run.Mr. Perfect really started jobbing after WM VI. This was Kerry Von Erich's single WWF highlight. He was a fantastic person (I met him once in Honolulu), but he used even fewer wrestling moves than the Ultimate Warrior. After this, he would lose several times to Perfect, and besides winning a non-televised feud with DiBiase, his WWF career went nowhere.Hacksaw Jim Duggan sure made quite a career out of SummerSlam tag team matches. Before this, the Orient Express had a great string of countout wins over the Rockers, and, yes, even Demolition. This was the beginning of their downfall.The Hart Foundation-"Demolition" match was superior to their match from '88, and almost as good as Bret and Jim's match against the Brain Busters the year before. I don't know about any of you, but Ax and Smash look nothing alike. We really had to suspend our disbelief here. The Hart Foundation cemented their place here as the best tag team ever. We had lots of talented teams, but LOD, the Bulldogs, and the Steiners had disappointing careers. The Harts always did great, winning almost all their feuds: the Bulldogs, Killer Bees, Strike Force, Rougeaus, Rhythm & Blues (twice), Hercules and Paul Roma, and the Powers of Pain. Plus quick wins over the Orient Express and Bolsheviks. Strangely, the only team they never beat was the Rockers.Both of the main event matches were surprisingly good. I like how the referee allowed all the cheating in the Hogan-Earthquake match. And Rick Rude was fine in his last big WWF match. Strangely, he lost all his feuds: Jake the Snake, the Ultimate Warrior, and Roddy Piper.So watch the show, but know where to fast-forward. Especially the Jake-Bad News match. But the Harts-Demolition match and the main events are great.
