- This tape covers the main buildup for the Summerslam PPV, and includes the newer version of the Summerslam Spectacular, naming it Sunday Night Slam. It includes a very important match that lead to another important storyline later in the year, and includes a battle of Kliq-sters that I forgot was on here, so stay tuned. - 1-2-3 Kid vs. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett: This a rematch from the (then) recent King of the Ring tournament, where the 1-2-3 Kid pulled off an upset by cradling Jarrett in a figure four attempt. Jarrett went on to beat the crap out of him, kind of helping Owen Hart, who was the Kids next opponent. A few weeks back 1-2-3 Kid had possibly on of his best matches on WWF television that didn't involve KLIQ members. Now onto the match...This is from an episode of Superstars by the way. Lawler & Ross on commentary, way back 10 years ago. Jarrett does some Memphis stalling. Lockup and 1-2-3 Kid with an arm drag. Jarrett with a go behind and the Kid rolls him off into a mutual position. "1-2-3" chants. Jarrett with a side headlock which is countered into an armbar by the Kid. He connects with a standing side headlock and he takes him to the mat by walking up the turnbuckles. Jarrett counters with a back suplex and he lays in some boots to the Kids face and gives him the over sold turnbuckle whip. Forearm to the kidney and Jarrett stomps away. Big Slam by Jarrett. 1-2-3 grabs a headlock and takes Jarrett to the canvas for two. Jarrett gets a boot to the midsection and a vicious DDT as we go to break. We're back and 1-2-3 Rolls up Jarrett for two. Jarrett back on offense and we all know what he does, just read a few lines up. Jarrett misses a second rope splash and hangs himself up. 1-2-3 with an Irish whip and he avoids a drop-kick. Kid with a series of roundhouse rights and the spinning heel kick to the face for two. 1-2-3 misses a cross body and lands on he outside. Jarrett eats boot on the outside as the referee calls for the bell at 7:06...for a double count-out ending. *3/4 Decent match, but nothing special or worth tracking down. He jumps the Kid and piledrives him through the mat (not literally). A second piledriver and the referees have to carry him to the back just about. - WWF Summer Sizzler Tour! From Madison Square Garden on August 25, 1994! WWF World Champion Bret Hart & Razor Ramon take on Owen Hart & Jim Niedhart in the main event! In a Tag Team Title Match The Head Shrinkers defend against Shawn Michaels & Diesel. Tatanka challenges I.R.S in an Indian Strap Match. Also, Jeff Jarrett & Bam Bam Bigelow battle Mabel & Doink, WWF Womens Champion Alundra Blayze squares off against Bull Nakano, The Bushwhackers face the Heavenly Bodies, Adam Bomb takes on Kwang, and Sparky Plugg faces Quebecer Pierre! - Time for the Heartbreak Hotel with Shawn Michaels & Diesel. Diesel looks so different from what he looked like last year. This weeks guest is "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase! Dibiase is going to clear the air and deliver the goods. Everybody has a price apparently, which was true I guess. He said he would buy the World Wrestling Federation Title, and did it (1988). He brings out...once again...wait...he brings out "Made in the USA" Lex Luger?! Oh Ya...Luger gets a pretty decent reaction upon his LATE entrance. Tatanka is out here now. He thought Luger represented the same things he fought for, the country, the fans, and the people around the world. Tatankas proud to be an American...but he says Luger sold out to Dibiase. Dibiase calls him jealous because its not him he brought out, but it was Lex Luger. He says that Tatanka can't beat Lex Luger. Tatanka promises he can beat Luger any day of the week. Luger says its no deal to selling out, and he tells Tatanka there's not enough money to buy him out. He still considers Tatanka a friend, but he's not going to debate who can beat who and have his integrity questioned. Tatanka doesn't buy it and says he saw cash exchanged between Ted and Lex. Tatanka sarcastically says Luger didn't sell out and walks out. Dibiase's bottom line is Lex Luger is in the bank. - Summerslam Report!! Brought to you by Dominos Pizza. Monday Night, August 29th, at 8 EST. New match announced...Intercontinental Champion Diesel defends the title against the former champion Razor Ramon. Don't forget Undertaker versus Undertaker, plus he promises that Leslie Nielson will get to the bottom of this situation. For the WWF Championship in a Steel Cage Match Bret Hart puts his title on the line versus Owen, and the Hart Family will all be attendance for this match. - Memory Lane Match; WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Pedro Morales © vs. Adrian Adonis: From the Philadelphia Spectrum on April 17th, 1982. We are joined with Adonis having a standing side headlock applied to Morales. Morales escapes with an offerhead wristlock, and Adonis counters with a drop toe hold into an armbar. Adonis applies a modified toe hold, but Morales mule kicks free. Morales attempts a monkey flip, but Adonis lands on his feet and struts around the ring. Stan Lane and Ted Dibiase with dubbed over commentary discuss Morales being a Triple-Crown Champion, and Adonis' death on July 4th, 1988. Morales catches Adonis strutting with a scooip slam, and he hides in the corner, apparently in great pain. Lockup into the ropes, and Adonis with a series of chops and knees to the chest. Morales fights back with rights, sending Adonis to the outside. We get clipped with Morales looking to be getting his ass handed to him. Inverted atomic drop by Adonis, and he covers for a series of two counts. Morales with an elbow to the midsection and a rake of the eyes as Lane drops "Latino Fire" about Morales. Too bad he didn't call him Latino Heat. Irish whip to the corner, and Adonis does the Flair flip to the apron. Morales sling shots him back in and goes to the top rope, but Adonis slams him off, but Morales hooks him for the three count at 3:46. *1/2 Quite a fun match for what was shown. Back then I wasn't too familiar with most of the wrestlers in these Memory Lane Matches, but have grown fond of most of them. - $10,000 Challenge Match: Tatanka vs. Nikolai Volkoff (w/ Ted Dibiase): Did Volkoff EVER win a match when he returned in 1994? I'm not expecting a long match here. Lockup and Tatanka goes to a wrist lock and chops away on the shoulder. Tatanka puts him down with a shoulder block. Volkoff with a cheap shot in the corner and he gets some of his weak offense in. Plenty of choke holds and he connects with a big boot. Pretty bad stomps to the head, with only one or two actually making contact. Tatanka beats the shit out of Volkoff but gets caught with a back elbow. Tatanka with a big clothesline and a drop-kick sends Volkoff to the outside. Volkoff makes Tatanka eat steel and we go back in the ring. Tatanka Indians-Up and chops away on the Russian. Tatanka heads to the third floor and nails the big chop for two!!?? Small Package by Tatanka off a body slam attempt gets three at 6:12. 1/4* Crap, and that's all I really have to say about that. Savage enters the ring to taunt Dibiase on the stick...man I wish they fought again. Ted Dibiase has the money for Tatanka and says he was impressed with Tatanka. He says he can never beat Luger like that on his best day. Tatanka actually gets the money! Luger challenges Tatanka to a match, which Tatanka kind of accepts but it's not official. - WWF World Championship Match: Bret "Hitman" Hart © vs. Bob Backlund: From an episode of Superstars...and yes it is that match. Backlund is the underdog here who is looking to be champion again since he lost it in December 1983. Damn tape is in SP Mode for this match too. Backlund gets a nice introduction with some good face heat. Bret gets a much better reaction though and has theme music...of course. We get the face to face staredown and some talking. They attempt some amateur style wrestling and Bret side steps Backlund going for a double leg takedown. Lockup and that goes to no one. Lockup Part 2 and Backlund forces Bret to the corner and gets a shoulder thrust and hip toss into a body scissors pin for two! Bret runs but Backlund throws him in and he German suplexes him into a bridge pin for two. Both men mule kick out of submission attempts with Backlund getting the upperhand. Test of Strength and Backlund rolls out of it, tripping up Bret for a two count on two occasions. Another Test of Strength and Backlund with a go behind, which is turned into an armbar by Bret. Knees to the bicep of Backlund and he returns to the armbar. Leg drop to the arm and Bret with a hammer lock. Backlund fights to his feet and snapmares Bret over, only to have the hold still applied. Backlund with a German suplex...but Bret still has the wristlock held on and drops the knee into the tricep. Half nelson by Bret and that gets two. Backlund reverses into another two count, and Bret goes back to work on the arm and applies the overhead wrist lock. Armbar by Bret and he rings the arm. Backlund with a whip but he gets caught with a headlock and a huge roundhouse right. So Backlund gives him an equally stiff forearm shot and rolls him up for two. Bret with a headbutt, and that hurts himself. Backlund with his own headbutt and they both are hurt. Backlund with a piledriver!! He throws the arm across the chest...for two!! Back from commercial and Bret reverses a piledriver with a back drop and scoop slams him, followed by a leg drop. Whip and they trade the abdominal stretch, with Backlund winning it but they both go down quickly. Backlund blocks a suplex with a small package for TWO!!! He thought he won but no. He scoops up Bret for a slam but Bret cradles him for 1... 2.... 3! Bret retains at 9:17. ***1/2 Nice old school type match. A little slow for the time, but it was worked perfectly, but could've used more time. Bret asks for a handshake and...Backlund slaps him! Then he applies the cross-face chicken wing, screaming like a psycho!! Bob Backlund finally releases...and looks at his hands in a strange trans. - Typhoon & Mabel (w/ Oscar) vs. Yokozuna & Crush (w/ Mr. Fuji): This is from Wrestling Challenge. Mabel is in the period where they had nothing for him to do while Mo was on the injured list, shot in an angle where Owen had the sharpshooter applied to his knee that he injured (worked injury in match, but real injury in real life) earlier in the match. Typhoon is also doing nothing, and so we have this. Yokozuna, for a big guy was talented but I wouldn't say he was good either. Heels pearl harbor Mabel and Tugboat, and double team on Typhoon. Typhoon clotheslines both men, and they chase them off. Yokozuna starts with Typhoon and a shoulder block goes nowhere, but a third by Typhoon puts down the Samoan. Crush in with Mabel now and he has him in a headlock. Mabel whips him off and a shoulder block goes nowhere also. Mabel catches Crush in a cross body attempt with a slam and a big fat leg drop for two. Back from Commercial and Crush lays some boots to the midsection of Mabel. High elevation leg drop by Crush. Dibiase & Lane on commentary for your information. Crush to the top rope and he misses a knee drop. Both teams make tags and Typhoon hammers on Yokozuna and clotheslines him down. Slam on Crush and we got some pier six brawling. Typhoon eats a savat kick and Yokozuna with a belly to belly suplex for three at 4:50. DUD Why must we get so much Typhoon in a few weeks? Match was dog shit, as you would probably expect it to be. - Memory Lane Match; Six-Man Tag Team Match: Gorilla Monsoon, Haystacks Calhoun, Ivan Putski vs. The Blackjacks & Bugsy McGraw: I have no definite idea on the location, but taped on October 3rd, 1975. We join with McGraw whipping Monsoon to the corner, but misses a charge. Putski tags in and hammers away on the back of McGraw, then takes on both Blackjacks in the heel corner. Bearhug by Putski to Blackjack Lanza, but the heels break that up. Monsoon chokes on Mulligan, and it turns into a mess as the faces squash the heels in the corner in a comedy spot. Monsoon from out of the corner with a BIG splash. Clip and Mulligan applies a standing side headlock to Putski. Irish whip, and Putski with a fist to the midsection. McGraw tags in and acts like a crazy person. Lockup, and no one wins that, which makes Bugsy shake his ass. Putski and Calhoun make Bugsy look up at something in the sky, which tricks him into getting sucker punches. McGraw then rams his own head into a turnbuckle, and Putski mocks him by doing the same. Clip and Mulligan hammers on Calhoun, but gets dragged into the corner to tag in Monsoon. Monsoon hammers away on everyone with chops, and whips Mulligan to the corner. All hell breaks loose, and Monsoon with a back body drop. Putski tags in with a sit down splash, and that gets the three count at 3:36. * Another fun match, but the clipping does it no justice. - Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels: Woah, where did this come from? I'm not too sure if it will be that good, since Michaels has not been wrestling on air since his Wrestlemania X Ladder match against Ramon. Vince Mcmahon is on commentary for the first time in a long time. Shawn Michaels has his uber-cool black with Blue tights for this match, a pattern he used very rarely. they go face to face and Shawn shoves Ramon. Lockup and Shawn with a headlock into a go behind and back. Shawn reverses an atomic drop, takes down Ramon and walks across him only to eat fist and take the flair flip over the top rope to the floor. Ramon with a stiff right sends Michaels off the apron. Michaels rakes the eyes and sends Ramon to the buckle and comes off the top only to get caught with a fist. Swinging Neck breaker by Michaels and he drops the knee across the ribs. Michaels sends Ramon to the buckle but gets caught in a cross body attempt with a fall away slam for two. Ramon to an armbar and Michael reverses, nailing a series of forearms. Rights by Michaels and he chokes him in the corner. Snapmare and face stomp by HBK followed by a sweet drop-kick for two. Michaels with some jabs and a roundhouse across the jaw. Michaels chokes Ramon on the ropes, and Diesel adds some assistance behind the referees back. Sleeper Hold by Michaels. Ramon with a succession of elbows to break it and he back slides HBK for two. Michaels with a clothesline for two and applies a rear chinlock. Ramon catches him in a drop-kick and sling shots him clear across the top rope into the arms of Diesel, knocking both men down. Back from Commercial and Michaels sends Ramon to the buckle...with the use of the trunks. Mcmahon confirms that this is Michaels first match since Wrestlemania. Michaels gets caught on the top rope with a big press slam and Ramon with an abdominal stretch. Michaels pokes the eyes to escape and lays a series of elbows across the back of Ramons head. Ramon catches Michaels with his head down and slams him face first into the mat. BIG Back Body Drop by Ramon and he stomps away at the lower back of Michaels. Bear hug by Ramon. Michaels with a series of bionic elbows to break the hold, but he can't slam Ramon, so he reapplies the hold. Michaels sunset flips out of it, but gets caught into a pin for two, but Michaels reverses it back for another two. Ramon with a clothesline for two. Off the ropes and Michaels side steps him, sending him over the top rope to the floor, where Diesel meets him with a vicious clothesline. Michaels chokes on Ramon and drop an elbow across the neck of Ramon. Michaels hammers away in the corner with a series of lefts and rights followed by the diving back elbow for two. Ramon with some roundhouse rights and HBK with a big-time sleeper hold. Ramon to his feet with a back suplex, and both men are down. Ramon catches Michaels with a big kick to the face and they are down again. Double head collision and we get a double knockout. Ramon hammers on Michaels and nails the discus punch. Flair Flip by Michaels and he eats lariat for two. Ramon sets him on the top rope but Michaels elbows him off and comes off the top rope with a flying cross body press..only to be reversed for two! Michaels with a superkick for only two!!! That wasn't his official finisher YET by the way. Michaels goes for the Razors Edge, but its reversed with a back drop. Ramon hammer son Diesel, and takes care of Michaels as well. Michaels whips Ramon into a Diesel big boot, (the referee was returning the IC Belt in the ring back to the table) and HBK Rolls up Ramon from behind for the three count at 17:55! What a match. **** Not as good as there Ladder Match of course, but still its up there in the ranks. If you've seen one KLIQ match, you've seen them all though. We get a heel beat down after the match. - Non-Title Singles Match: Alundra Blayze © vs. Bull Nakano (w/ Luna Vachon): This is Bull's WWF debut match, and for a fat japanese woman, she's not THAT ugly. She also gets a recycled version of the Orient Express' theme music. Nakano with a big kick and clothesline out of the gate and Blayze with a series of crescent kicks. Blayze with a fist to the sternum followed by a hair-plane spin. Repeat. Blayze with a hurricanrana for two! Nakano dodges a heel kick and chokes. Neck snap by Bull and she does it once more for two. Rear chinlock by Nakano and she chokes Blayze across the top rope. Nakano with an awesome piledriver and that gets two. She pulled her shoulder up! Powerbomb by Nakano gets two. Blayze with a sunset slip for two and she goes to the top rope but Nakano side steps a missile drop-kick. Nakano with a scoop slam, and she heads to the top rope, and misses a leg drop! German Suplex only gets two!!! Blayze with a victory roll gets two again and the action spills outside. Blayze with a top rope splash onto Nakano and it's a double count-out finish at 5:24. *1/2 For a decent women's match but they had matches that were much better later on in the feud. - Memory Lane Match: "High Chief" Peter Miavia vs. Stan "The Man" Stasiak: From the August 29th, 1977 show from Madison Square Garden, exactly 8 years before I was born, and the shot of Miavia in the "WWE History" video shown before TV Tapings is from this match, for those who like useless trivia. The tape quality has gotten to near unwatchable, so I'll be watching in Super Fast Forward. We get the introductions of both men, then clip to Stasiak applying a bear hug... oh joy. Miavia has the entire portion of his body below the waist tattoo'ed. Miavia hammers away with chops and a headbutt, then goes crazy like he's Jimmy Snuka. Irish whip, and Miavia with a chop across the chest, dropping Stasiak like a sack of Samoan Potatoes. Stasiak with a cheap shot to the midsection then goes for the heart punch, but Miavia blocks and elbows him to the corner, with super-over-selling. They brawl on the apron, with Stasiak sending Miavia back into the ring. For some reason, though, Stasiak gets DQ'ed at a slim, trim, 1:56. DUD I guess that ends the streak of fun old school matches. - "The Undertaker" (w/ Ted Dibiase) vs. Butch Banks: Undertaker hammers away on him and chokes him in the corner for a while. Jaw lock applied and he connects with a big boot and a short arm clothesline. Choke in the ropes and he chokeslams him out of his shoes for the win at 3:03. DUD Well that didn't seem too good, and you can tell since it's only 2 sentences long! - Memory Lane Match: "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka vs. "Playboy" Buddy Rose: From the January 22nd, 1983 show from Madison Square Garden. We are JIP to a criss cross sequence which leads to a head scissors takeover from Snuka. Snuka with a side headlock takeover, which then leads to a series of two counts from both men. CLIP to Rose sending Snuka to the corner to escape the headlock, followed by a shoulder to the midsection. Irish whip to the corner is reversed, and Snuka takes Rose over with another head scissors. CLIP again with both men exchanging blows, and Snuka escaping a piledriver with a back body drop. Rose with a standing side headlock followed by a shoulder block. Rose off the ropes, but Snuka avoids him with several leap frogs, and catches him with a back breaker. Snuka to the top rope, and he connects with the Superfly Splash for three at 2:25. 1/2* Fun enough to rate it better than the previous MLM. - Adam Bomb & Smoking Gunns vs. Well Dunn & Kwang (w/ Harvey Wippleman): Highlights from last weeks WWF Superstars where Well Dunn put a beating on Adam Bomb, who eventually sent the losers packing. Mike Barton, Mr. Ass, Wrath, Savio Vega, Rex King and...Timothy Well in one match! Dunn and Bart start and Dunn has control until Gunn boots him in the corner and drops him on his face. Series of drop-kicks by Bart followed by an arm drag into an armbar. Billy Gunn sling shots in with a clothesline for two. Well in and he hammers on Rockabilly and Kwang in with a spinning heel kick. Kwang lays a beating on Billy and chops him. Gunn with a cross body press gets two and Kwang back on top. Dunn in and he hammers on Billy and connects with a flying forearm for two. Small Package by Billy Gunn gets two and the heels control again. Double bulldog by Well Dunn and Well drops an elbow. Well with a snap suplex and he goes to the top rope and eats a drop-kick...literally. Bomb in and he hammers away on Dunn and side slams him. He heads upstairs and comes off with a missile clothesline for two. Bonzo Gonzo time and Adam Bomb finishes Dunn with the mushroom cloud for three at 5:02. * Passable, but only because I have a soft spot for half the gimmicks in the match. - Vince Mcmahon interviews Owen & Hart & Jim "The Anvil" Niedhart inside an erected steel cage. Owen says Bret has bullied him all his life, and now, he has him right where he wants him, inside a steel cage. He promises to hurt Bret and that this has gotten out of hand. He beat Bret fairly at Wrestlemania, and the only thing missing is the world title. Owen starts to ramble now, while Niedhart gets an easy paycheck by just standing next to Owen, pulling his beard, and doing nothing else of note. I think this was an Easter Egg on the Bloodbaths DVD, but I'm not 100% sure. - Memory Lane Match; Six-Man Tag Team Match: Andre The Giant, Chief Jay Strongbow, Billy White Wolf vs. The Executioners & Bruiser Brody: From the October 25th, 1976 Madison Square Garden event, and we are joined in progress to Bruiser Brody applying a bearhug on Strongbow. Strongbow punches free of the hold and tags in Andre. In the background, Vince McMahon can be heard in the background on the original commentary. Andre cleans house with headbutts to all the heels, then allows Strongbow a cheap shot to Brody. Andre whips Bruiser to the ropes and applies a bearhug. Strongbow hammers on an Executioner in the background. Andre breaks the hold, then pounds both Executioners on the apron. Strongbow with a cheap shot to Brody, and Andre hammers on him now, followed by the butt squashing in the corner, with added assistance from Strongbow. Clip to an Executioner hammering away on White Wolf, who I believe became General Adnan, but don't quote me on that. Brody tags in and hammers on White Wolf with some stiff forearms, but misses a running knee drop. Strongbow tags in and dances around the ring, nailing knee lifts in the middle of it all. Irish whip to the corner, and Andre headbutts an Executioner. White Wolf tags back in with chops. Irish whip and Wolf with a chop to the throat, and splashes the Exeuctioner for the three count at 3:21. * Another fun, energetic match. Too bad they never aired matches in their non-clipped form. Final Thoughts: Quite a fun tape overall, with great matches between Bret Hart and Bob Backlund, and Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon. Also some fun, old school action from the Memory Lane Matches, and not too much crap to sit through other than a Typhoon match and Fake Undertaker squash. |
