SummerSlam 1990

1. Power and Glory defeated The Rockers by pinfall

This was actually a very fun match, despite Shawn Michaels not being involved at all. The crowd was super hot and the action was spirited. Good opener.

Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. Texas Tornado defeated Mr. Perfect by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship

The match was very similar to the Demolition/Colossal Connection match at WrestleMania VI. Not a great match, great moment.

Rating: 1.5

3. The Warlord defeated Tito Santana by pinfall

Poor Tito. Such a good worker, yet he never won.

Rating: .75

4. The Hart Foundation defeated Demoltion by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

***Match Of The Night***

This was a good match and it seems like the tag teams in this era always put on the best matches.

Rating: 3.25

5. Jake Roberts defeated Bad News Brown by disqualification

Snakes vs. sewer rats. Yeah, this was bad.

Rating: .25

6. Jim Duggan and Nikolai Volkoff defeated The Orient Express by pinfall

This was a Superstars quality squash.

Rating: .5

7. Randy Savage defeated Dusty Rhodes by pinfall

The storyline with Sapphire overshadowed this match. Only in 1990 would these two have a match that lasted 4 minutes.

Rating: .5

8. Hulk Hogan defeated Earthquake by countout

Since when is Hogan happy with winning by countout? Stupid.

Rating: .5

9. Ultimate Warrior defeated Rick Rude by escape

This was pretty good, but it didn't have that big match feel. It was better than I remember though.

Rating: 1.75

This was the first pay-per-view I ever saw back when I didn't even know what wrestling was, so that alone gives me a little more reason to like this show. There are two good matches here, but the middle of the show is pretty bad. Still, it is worth watching if you like this time period.

Overall Rating: 53%
