Customer Reviews

the good ol days
although many regard the days when the ultimate warrior held the belt as failure it brings back fond memories for me. sslam90 kicks off with the up and coming rockers against the newly formed power and glory. can the rockers overcome shawn michaels knee problem or will they be shut down. 3/5
next we have mr perfect defending against wwf newcomer the texas tornado. the match certainly could have been a lot better but this was a nice moment for the tornado who sadly suffered from personal trouble in real life. here though he could atleast enjoy himself and he did.

the sapphire/sherri bout doesnt go ahead but maybe thats a good thing and its all part of an interesting storyline that developed all night long (much to the concern of dusty rhodes who is managed by sapphire). tito santana then takes on the powerhouse warlord who screams in the camera afterwards that he will be the next wwf champion (yeah and paris hilton is a nun). the interest develops with the match of the night as the hart foundation challenges demoltion in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the tag titles. with demolition having 3 members, which 2 out of ax smash and crush will defend the gold? how will the harts cope with this?

jake the snake also takes on bad news brown in his last ppv, what if any influence will special guest ref the big boss man have? brother love then sticks his nose in interviewing iraqi sympathiser sgt slaughter. speaking of patriotism nikolai volkoff who now loves usa team with jim duggan against the orient express. next dusty rhodes battles long term foe the macho king and finally solves the sapphire riddle but just who is now irking big dusty and can he keep his focus on the match in hand? interesting story but terribly short match that had 6 months of build up for 2 mins action.

in a revenge mission hulk hogan attempts to get revenge on earthquake for his recent vicious assaults on tugboat and hogan himself. hogans hires in the boss man to watch his back while earthquake has dino bravo and jimmy hart in his corner. can hulkamania thwart the 470lb monster?

finally watch the ultimate warrior defend the gold against rick rude. solid enough ppv and worth watching even if its for old time sake.

sslam91 was equally impressive kicking off with warlord/power and glory taking on bulldog/dragon/tornado in a decent opener even if the end is bothced. but nothing is botched next when bret hart again pulls off another classic against mr perfect whos performance is amazing despite a bad back(perfects last match for 15 months). classic summerslam.

the recently formed natural disasters then lock up with the bushwhackers, but what does andre the giant have to say about this? not a good match though. next we get a wrestlemania rematch as ted dibiase (rarely ) puts his million dollar belt on the line against virgil. has the training from rowdy roddy piper helped virgil? or is the million dollar man to much to handle for the former mistreated bodyguard(again another classic wwf story from the early 90s).

another great story is that of the mountie and the big boss man, the loser will head nurse his ego in the new york slammer that night except which law enforcement officer will get a taste of their own medicine. with the msg crowd hooked on almost every match this makes for some interesting tv over the course of the night.

next is the tag title bout, can the nasty boys halt the indestructible legion of doom? or is the no dq bout right up the alley of the LOD? again the crowd eat up every minute. to cool it before the big main event greg valentine takes on ppv debutant IRS but although the crowd dont care about this one it is actually a very good match although the same cant be said for a tame main event handicap match as sgt slaughter/gen adnan/col mustafa tackle the red hot duo of the ultimate warrior/hulk hogan. and what will special guest ref sid justice make of it all (terrible main event). also we get the wedding between macho man and elizabeth, and only a devious SNAKE could interfer. hmmmmm

worth watching for old times sake and for some classic bouts and storylines. or simply to remind you of your innocent youth
