Customer Reviews of Summerslam 1990

Summerslam 1990 was one of the best WWF PPV's ever!
Forget the WWE. As someone else already mentioned, 1990 was a golden year for the WWF. The way this Summerslam built up was huge. After watching Earthquake crush Hulk Hogan's ribs on "The Brother Love Show", I wanted to see Hulk settle the score. One of my other favorites back then, Big Bossman was also given the spot to watch Hogan's back after his original corner man, Tugboat, was injured.

I wasn't actually an Ultimate Warrior fan back then and was actually rooting for Rick Rude to leave with the World Title. My most emotional feelings were saved for the 2-out of-3 falls tag match with my favorite team, Demolition facing the fan favorite Hart Foundation. I loved Demolition and even though they added a third member and seemed to turn heel, I was still a loyal fan. I was visibily upset though when the Harts beat them in the third fall with the help of the Legion Of Doom. DAMN THOSE ROAD WARRIORS!!!!

The 1990 event also saw Saphire turn on Dusty Rhodes to join up with Ted Dibiase. This angle still doesn't make much sense and I see why it was scrapped, down the road. We got a great match with Jake The Snake battling Bad News Brown and his "sewer rats" who we never got to see. Big Bossman pulled double honors here as guest referee. Other great moments had Shawn Michaels getting put on the shelve courtesy of Power & Glory and newcomer, Texas Tornado beating Mr. Perfect in a major upset.

To me, this was what the WWF was all about. Great matches, great stories, and feuds that were well-developed. Sadly, the WWE of today is just garbage.

1990- The WWF Golden Age at It's Prime
I honestly believe that 1990 was the year that the WWF delivered some of the best PPV'S ever, Summerslam being a prime example. The night was topped off by a double main event, the first half of it being a classic confrontation between the Earthquake, with Dino Bravo and the "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart in his corner, versus The Immortal Hulk Hogan (screw Hollywood Hogan), with the Big Boss Man in his corner. Although the match was not as fast paced as fans today are used to, nonetheless, it was a great match for it's time, and in my personal opinion, still a classic confrontation up to this day strictly for the significance that the match carried with it. Had Hogan lost the match, the ideal of him as an immortal wrestling legend would have vanished. Luckily, Hogan came away with the victory. The second half of the double main event consisted of a cage match between the late great Ravishing Rick Rude and the WWF Champion The Ultimate Warrior, still one of the most electrifying champions in WWF history desptite the fact that he only held the title once. The Ultimate Warrior captured the victory. But both of these matches paled in comparison to the WWF Tag Team Title match between the champions Demolition (Ax, Smash, and Crush) versus the Hart Foundation (Bret "Hitman" Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart), truly one of the greatest tag team title matches in history before tag team wrestling, and wrestling overall, was plagued with outside interference, therefore taking away the authenticity of any victory or title reign. Some other notable matches include the short but sweet IC title match between Mr. Perfect and the late "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich and other matches including Jake "The Snake" Roberts and the "Macho Man" Randy Savage. If you're an o.g. wrestling fan such as myself, then you would know that no other Summerslam has surpassed the magnitude of Summerslam 90. This is sports entertainment at it's best.
