Ring Announcer: Howard Finkel
TV Commentators: Vince McMahon & Bobby Heenan.

1) Nasty Boys and Da Mountie .v. The Bushwhackers & Hacksaw Duggan. OH
my god, wake me up, Duggan over Mountie after 14 minutes. Dud.

The Fink introduces us to Angelo Poffo, Larry "The Ax" Hennig, Classy
Freddy Blassie, Lord Alfred Hayes and .........Pat Patterson. Other than
Hayes nobody knows who the hell they are.

2) Papa Shango .v. Tito Santana. Shango with the shoulderbreaker. 6
minutes *

SummerSlam begins properly as we show "all the chaps in the Good Old
U.S.A. just how loud and long we can cheer for".

3) MOney Inc .v. L.O.D. DiBiase is dressed in white! Ellering, Animal
and Hawk come to the ring on Harley Davidsons! LOD win when Animal pins
DiBiase after about 15 minutes. **

4) NAILZ .v. Virgil. Wot no Bossman run in?. NAILZ in 4 minutes. *

5) Rick Martel .v. Shawn Michaels with Sensational Sherri. For pure
farce this one deserves a medal. 7 minutes of fairly good wrestling
before the double countout which was totally incidental to the plot.
Martel and Sherri had a quick snog during the match, but when the boys
got rough Sherri couldn't cope and fainted. The countout happened as
Martel and Michaels fought over who should administer mouth to mouth
resusitation (?). Shawn starts to carry Sherri to the dressing room,
Rick attacks him, Rick carries Sherri to the dressing room, Shawn
attacks him, Shawn carries Sherri back to the dressing room. Rick
disappears, reappears with a bucket of water which he throws all over
them to revive Sherri. Great slapstick ***1/2.

P.S. Check Sherri's dress, and the TV shot at the beginning
when she 
removes Michaels' trousers.

6) Disasters .v. Beverly's. Earthquake pins Beau (I think) in about 11
minutes to retain the straps for his team. *1
7) Crush .v. RepoMan. Check how Crush struggles to gorilla press Repo,
and how much work Darsow does to get himself elevated. Lots of No Sells
from Crush, wins with compacter after 4 minutes *


8) Warrior .v. Savage. Neither walks that aisle with Flair and Perf.
Warrior has a bodysuit thing on, he looks huge. Warrior scores about 9 2-counts,
Savage about ten. Inevitably Flair and Perfect appear, Flair hitting
Warrior with brass knuckles after a ref bump. Basically the ending reads
like this, the referee is knocked out as Savage goes for his finish, the
splash to the back. As he hits the ropes, Flair nails him with a chair.
Savage recovers, but can't work out why Warrior is laid out flat, Savage
goes to the top and does a "should I, Shouldn't I" bit, and jumps
outside to nail Flair, who hits Savage with a chair. Savage counted out
leaving Warrior the winner but not the champ. Flair and Perf do Savage
some damage with chairs and a figure 4. Warrior chases them back to the
dressing room, returns to present Savage with the belt and to help him
back to the dressing room. 27 minutes ***

9) Kamala .v. The Undertaker. Mark arrives on the back of a hearse,
priceless !. All MArk, Kamala mistimes a leapfrog which causes them to
go off the script slightly. MArk by DQ when Kim Chee interferes after 4
minutes. Kamala scores with a splash, a splash off the middle rope and a
splash off the tope rope, Mark sits up, chases everybody very slowly
back down the aisle. No tombstone. ** (for the hearse)

10) Tatanka .v. Berzerker. Why should somebody who received quite a push
to get a headline series against The Undertaker have to job so
conclusively to somebody as lame as Tananka. Tatanka with the Write-Off,
or whatever he calls it in 4 minutes *

Hot Rod performs on the bagpipes.

11) Davey Boy Smith .v. Bret Hart. Either Smith's knee is fine now or he
was dosed up with something quite powerful. I want to watch this on TV
to see if it's  really as good as it seemed. All sorts, 2 counts galore,
Smith  in about 28 minutes ***1/2.
 
So, do you buy the PPV?
