I've been going through these videos reliving my childhood and the time and effort put into the editing, especially for the intros and parts like the "fake cheers" segment in this one, are awesome. Thanks, great job.
Every match I've seen with the Brain Busters is incredible and well thought out. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard were the most under-rated tag-team of the late 80s-early 90s. I put their talent up against any tag-team. The bumps they took were awesome!
I met Honkytonk Man AND Virgil at a convention. I wanted to talk to Honkytonk, and we had a fun chat (learned he had to replace fiberglass guitars with breakaways because the fiberglass could flat-out kill a man) and the ENTIRE TIME Virgil kept trying to join in the conversation, while Honkytonk kept doing a one-handed "don't make eye contact, kid" wall. And it wasn't a cute fun join-in, he kept wanting us all to get a photo together which he was charging for.
Ever since that WWF arcade game that featured the legion of doom, I was a huge Mr perfect mark. My tag team in that game was perfect and sgt slaughter, and they were my toy tag champs too. The perfect army rolled over all WWF and WCW toys. I used to put the lil belt on the champ and line up wrestler toys in order of their contender number then plan out my shows. Man that was fun. What happened to my imagination?
I lost my childhood imagination somewhere around 9th and 10th grade (14 to 16 years old). I know I was keenly aware of it happening and actively tried to fight against it. True case of you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
My man. This comment brought back so many memories. You just described the exact same way I would play with my figures. I had the Headbangers and Ken Shamrock as my badass stable. So many classic matches on my couch lol. Amazing.
Gravydog316 I have watched almost all the wrestling content on this page. And I’ve been eagerly waiting for Sunday’s to come hoping they put up new wrestling reviews every week. I don’t mind the movie reviews and such. But the old school wrestling reviews are by far some of my favorite content on TH-cam all together! I can’t wait till the get to the Montreal screwjob!
I watch them all like once a year and I always burst out laughing when V1 randomly starts talking about the egg cups girl around 33-34 mins haha every dam time. Definitely the best show to watch when you live alone because it's like laughing about absolute nonsense with your mates.
It's so strange to go back and watch these shows that have such a different editing style. Most of the time, in more recent shows, Jay matches the action to their conversation. In these older shows it seems to be more of a conversational thing with a highlight video behind.
First VHS I ever got as a kid was this, got it for my birthday when I was 7 and watched it 100s of times... All of it is burned in my mind like it was yesterday 😃 Loved the opening tag match sooooo much
The problem I have is that every time I see Dusty wrestle I find myself thinking, there was the best sumo wrestler that never was. He has the low centre of gravity, wide girth, strength, speed, technical skill. Daisutoroho!
I know this isn't a popular take, but I never understood what everyone sees in Dusty Rhodes. I could barely understand a word he said, he looked very sloppy, and I don't recall a time he ever pulled any impressive moves. Maybe he's before my time, but he was definitely wrestling when I watched, which I started watching in like 1987 ish.
@@blrolz3544to be honest with you I agree. I also think that is his charm. He’s a “regular guy” who is charismatic and he tries his best against the bigger opponents. That’s why people like him so much. Imagine it’s the 80s again before Vince and you decide to bring the family down to the local wrasslin show in your area and he comes out… it makes you think he’s on your side and you could maybe do it too! It’s such a winning combination.
From what I recall, the Rooster/Perfect match was supposed to be longer.. but Taylor blew out his knee during a leapfrog, so they ended it early with that routine. Doesn't help the match at all, I know.. but gives it a reason for sucking as much as it did.
My best guess for what Ultimate Warrior said during his promo: "These conditions that I have have already continued to worsen as I have broken out of all the strait jackets and all the rubber rooms across these weak planets, and you Andre The Giant will realize that the power will become The 8th Wonder of the World as we eat you alive, but you Ravishing Rick Rude, as I promised you, will surrender to the gods above as I beat you 1-2-3!!!"
I still have my VHS copies of this and Survivor Series '88. I found myself humming the theme to Summerslam and for years couldn't remember where I'd heard it
I remember this dsy like it was yesterday. My uncle took me and my cousin to one of the final day of operational history of crystal beach amusement park in crystal beach Canada. Growing up in Buffalo New York going to crystal beach was the highlight of our summer as a child . It was a awesome old fashioned amusement park as happy as i was to be in the park i was so excited to get home to watch summerslam. This was the beat era of wwf wrestling in my opinion
I'm surprised none of you guys brought up Hogan holding the shears like a DAGGER at the heels to fend them off. Everyone could see it too! The camera was on him, the ref was watching, the announcers were watching! FFS. But shut up, me. He's a face.
i think its crazy that hulk hogan got away with that ridiculous bald man mullet for 99% of his career. it looks SO stupid that you'd think it would've kept him from being a massive star, especially considering his lack of athletic ability. but i guess it was acceptable in the eighties.
Dude how have they never redone that feud idea for Ronny Garvin vs. Valentine? Like I know it's saddled with two lame wrestlers, but the idea of the face being fired as a wrestler and he keeps getting other ringside jobs that piss the heel off until he demands the guy be rehired is fantastic
He actually was the WWF Champion for 8 days, he defended it on a house show on February 4th 1988 in Los Angeles three days after Andre won it and then vacated it by selling it to Dibiase, all this happened prior to Jack Tunney's announcement of DiBiase's Title reign not being official on The Following episode of superstars
As bad as I feel about this, I have to say when Jay explained why Snuka never got a belt and V1 was legit mortified with the "Oh god!", I had a slight chuckle. I do feel better knowing that they'll play off it in later episodes, though.
I think this was the first WWF event I watched on sky live. Soft focus, otherworldly, just amazing. When I believed they were wandering about like that in real life, especially savage.
WWF trying to portray No Hold's Barred as a shoot must've been weird AF for a kid who still believed in kayfabe to figure out wtf is happening. Like Power Rangers suddenly meta-shifted into a hardcore medical drama.
Used to watch these PPV events thru the scramble screen when I was a kid. Every now and then you can almost see whats going on, but you could listen to the whole thing as if it were on radio.
WWF: let’s put Savage over as a face champion, promote him for a year, build a fan base for him. Also WWF: let’s then strip everything away from him, including his amazing valet, so Hogan can get over as champion again. Me in 1989: I’m done with WWF.
If they hadnt had done that the fans would have gotten sick of him really quickly especially with Hogan back in a full time capacity. I love Macho but he just isnt the mainstream draw that Hogan is in 1989, so i can totally see why they put the belt back on Hulk. Granted give it 4 more years and yeah id say Macho could actually had carried the company as a top face with Flair as his big heel foil and helped to build new talent like Bret and Shawn as fans got super tired of Hogan to the point they were actively booing him and were more intrested with in ring ability which Macho had in spades
@@TheSilverPhoenix100 no issue with him dropping the built, but to strip everything away from him that made him great, including Miss Elizabeth? It was a waste of what they spent a year building.
You do realize that it was Hulk and Macho Man who came up with the storyline together, right? Vince signed off on it but they were the writers. Blame both of them if you didn't like it.
@@Powers3848 so most of these I hadn’t seen since they first aired as a kid, so there were a lot of memorable ones. I think the most exciting matches or rivalry to have gotten to see again were hogan/earthquake, warrior/hogan, the hogan/macho team up for sure. The Sid/ hogan royal rumble, the warrior/ papa Shango were all great great memories to revisit. You?
I've watched all ur shows a dozen times and this line up V-1,OOC and Jay is magic.You gel nicely with out stepping on each other.That kinda happened on the the first few shows before this present line up.Any way you Lex Luger marks keep up the good work!!
Now that you're done with the Hogan Era, and you're doing arc based reviews, maybe you should go back and just go through all of the King Of The Rings. I know I'd love that.
I met Zeus and he is awesome! Very Christian affiliated man and just the nicest guy! Lol he is a very large man, kind of intimidating guy, but easy to talk to.
It's a shame you have to keep reloading these because of the copyright issues. I figured you could use footage for reviewing purposes and be fine. Gotta love your persistence. Can't wait for the ECW videos!
Never understood why the Hart Foundation vs The Brain Busters, was a non-title match. It makes no sense, especially seeing that they had the Brain Busters win.
@DAVO CAMPBELL for a ppv yeah, the whole non title at summerslam thing makes no sense to me. Its almost as bad as modern day champions competing in battle royals and stuff instead of defending their title - it just devalues the belt when the kayfabe owner of it doesn't give af about it.
Are you guys gonna do the new generation and attitude era ppvs at some point? I'd love to hear your commentary on those. I know you have allot of re uploading to do, but all the same it'd be great.
GOD DAMN that Dusty promo at the beginning was incredible! To think Vince dressed this guy in polka dots to humiliate him after taking over his rival territory. Dusty was a true professional. RIP Dream ❤
Dusty's Outfit wasn't a "humiliation", it was his very own creation. First he was portraited as "Common Man" with videos about various jobs, then he had the Polka Outfit. Dusty himself created it, because he wanted Pat Patterson's booking position and to proof that he is 'better' he wanted to proof to Vince that he could get anything over, even the most ridiculous things. The Sapphire story was also his idea, though he rather wanted some black street hooker which Vince denied, opting for something more "family friendly". Vince already created a Dusty Rhodes parody before Rhodes came to the WWF: Akeem the African Dream, everything from the name to a white guy acting like a black guy and dancing like an idiot was a spot-on Dusty parody. Dusty talked about this in quite some detail in his book, on the WWE DVD and some other Shoot Interviews (like that one from 1999). I can understand why many think it was a sort of "punishment" from Vince, since quite a few Wrestlers were turned into complete Crap by Vince because of various reasons, though those never had anything to do with them "being stars at the competition", like the Road Warriors and Rocco was a punishment more for them failing drug tests and being hard to work with or Ricky Steamboats 1991 Gimmick was for lying to Vince about retiring in 1988 just to show up in WCW in 1989 or Owen Hart with the Blue Blazer Gimmick in 1999 which was a punishment for him refusing various storylines like the one with Debra. Otherwise we would've seen tons of Stars from other promotions ending up as fools at WWF like Ric Flair, Lex Luger, The Road Warriors in their first run, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Harley Race, Kerry von Erich and while some wrestlers had stupid gimmicks later on, it was just how the time at WWF was. The Skinner gimmick was dumb but i doubt it was a humiliation of Steve Keirn (one of the biggest Stars in Florida before: 5x World Champion, 12x Tag Team Champion, 5x NWA US-Tag Team Champion)

In the late 80s. You might already know this but in the 70s to most of the 80s he was wrestling in (and booking) violently bloody matches elsewhere in NWA and Jim Crocket Promotions. His forehead and bicep is badly scarred from barbed wire and from blading. When Vince brought him to WWF, his best action days were behind him and of course Vince didn't want blood on tv, so WWF Dusty was all just campy personality and goofy polka dots. He was in blue jeans and t-shirt before that. Sadly, Vince didn't actually want Dusty, but he didn't want NWA or WCW to have him because he was a top guy back in the day, so he was brought in as a funny good-time dancing goofball.
I only learned about this a few months back, but Duggan wasn't even supposed to wrestle at this SummerSlam. Originally, Big John Studd was supposed to team with Demolition, as he was feuding with Andre again, but Studd left the company very suddenly, so Duggan was subbed in. Honestly, I would have loved to have seen the original match.
The PIper/Rude feud was based around Roddy coming in as Gorilla Monsoon's color commentator on Prime Time - while Bobby Heenan had an hour of Prime Time for the Bobby Heenan Show - which was a delightful insane schmoz of non-talent and oddities. The week prior to SummerSlam - Bobby got tired of Roddy Piper threatening him, so he brought Rude to deal with Roddy Piper, and Piper said he was going to be in the Meadowlands and Rude said he didn't dare come there (implying that Piper would interfere and cost Warrior the title match). Piper was more sneaky than that I guess.
Love the reviews. One of the best things on TH-cam. Only constructive criticism is is that you guys def need an audio equalizer. The decibel level from when you guys are talking to when you are laughing is staggering. Very very loud when laughing
You do realize they are over 100 episodes deep and this is #14 right? This was like 9 or so years ago. Go listen to the newer stuff it’s markedly improved
I met Virgil in person as well once… exact same thing, except I didn’t give him any money, and he dissed me bad for not wanting to pay $20 for a pic. Just walked away from me. And when I say exact same thing… I mean exact same situation…. he even had the banner that said “Million Dollar man and Virgil”… and wouldn’t you know it, no Million Dollar Man.

Granted give it 4 more years and yeah id say Macho could actually had carried the company as a top face with Flair as his big heel foil and helped to build new talent like Bret and Shawn as fans got super tired of Hogan to the point they were actively booing him and were more intrested with in ring ability which Macho had in spades
@@TheSilverPhoenix100 no issue with him dropping the built, but to strip everything away from him that made him great, including Miss Elizabeth? It was a waste of what they spent a year building.
You do realize that it was Hulk and Macho Man who came up with the storyline together, right? Vince signed off on it but they were the writers. Blame both of them if you didn't like it.
@@mr.battle20 it is irrelevant to me who came up with it
To be perfectly fair to the WWF, Dusty later said the Polka Dots were his idea
He could have gotten anything over.
This channel helped me through some rough times , starting with Covid
Which was your favorite match? 🙂
@@Powers3848 so most of these I hadn’t seen since they first aired as a kid, so there were a lot of memorable ones. I think the most exciting matches or rivalry to have gotten to see again were hogan/earthquake, warrior/hogan, the hogan/macho team up for sure. The Sid/ hogan royal rumble, the warrior/ papa Shango were all great great memories to revisit. You?
The personalities of the wrestlers/managers/announcers in the 80's and even to mid 90's would be stifled by today's environment!
I think Dusty's cop getup was part of his "common man" gimmick.
Because he got the better of the Bossman's during their feud.
I've watched all ur shows a dozen times and this line up V-1,OOC and Jay is magic.You gel nicely with out stepping on each other.That kinda happened on the the first few shows before this present line up.Any way you Lex Luger marks keep up the good work!!
Tiny listers best role would have to be z-gangsta in wcw
That's a joke right?
sycomac not D-bo from Friday??
Now that you're done with the Hogan Era, and you're doing arc based reviews, maybe you should go back and just go through all of the King Of The Rings.
I know I'd love that.
nice idea
I tried looking up "Bret Hart Laughing"on Google Images and got couldn't find anything.
He smiles in several of his shoot interviews.....
I think he somewhat smirked when he first called Jerry Lawler "Burger King".
I shit you not.
Dump a pile of jorts in the backyard and set up a trail cam.
@@AdamHauger It's two months but that is just entirely too funny.
Like Kevin Nash once said.
“His father is Stu Hart!”
Best TH-cam channel of all time
The "perfect" TH-cam channel
57:30 "The case is still open..." It WAS.
Should still be
By far the best wrestling review channel
The best part of Warrior-Rude was Ventura's commentary.
I met Zeus and he is awesome! Very Christian affiliated man and just the nicest guy! Lol he is a very large man, kind of intimidating guy, but easy to talk to.
Ah that's cool to hear!
I love the reviews you guys do keep on doing what you're doing you bring a lot of laughs to me during my work weeks and keep on the good work!
These reviews are really a treat to watch. Thank you 👍
Sláinte brother! Appreciate ya dropping us a line and Merry Christmas to ya
The move Rude did to Warrior is a Ganso Bomb
That warrior promo was insane . He was not even saying words for most of it .
41:18 My favorite exchange in OSW history.
i wish you guys had the award thing back in these days, “why would anyone be a toilet” is quote of the year stuff
LOL 😂😂😂 what conversation was this how did that come about!
@@OSWYou're discussing Andre's weight at 41:00
It's a shame you have to keep reloading these because of the copyright issues. I figured you could use footage for reviewing purposes and be fine. Gotta love your persistence. Can't wait for the ECW videos!
Never understood why the Hart Foundation vs The Brain Busters, was a non-title match. It makes no sense, especially seeing that they had the Brain Busters win.
The bullshit reason they gave is this match was signed before Arn & Tully won the belts but I don't know the actual reason.
@DAVO CAMPBELL is the payout for a title match higher? Money would be my first guess when I'm questioning why they do anything stupid
@DAVO CAMPBELL for a ppv yeah, the whole non title at summerslam thing makes no sense to me. Its almost as bad as modern day champions competing in battle royals and stuff instead of defending their title - it just devalues the belt when the kayfabe owner of it doesn't give af about it.
I know right!!
Are you guys gonna do the new generation and attitude era ppvs at some point? I'd love to hear your commentary on those. I know you have allot of re uploading to do, but all the same it'd be great.

GOD DAMN that Dusty promo at the beginning was incredible!
To think Vince dressed this guy in polka dots to humiliate him after taking over his rival territory. Dusty was a true professional.
RIP Dream ❤
Mean Gene trying his best not to laugh with Dusty while questioning his life choices with warrior
Macho had the best costumes in the 80’s.
Dusty's Outfit wasn't a "humiliation", it was his very own creation. First he was portraited as "Common Man" with videos about various jobs, then he had the Polka Outfit. Dusty himself created it, because he wanted Pat Patterson's booking position and to proof that he is 'better' he wanted to proof to Vince that he could get anything over, even the most ridiculous things. The Sapphire story was also his idea, though he rather wanted some black street hooker which Vince denied, opting for something more "family friendly". Vince already created a Dusty Rhodes parody before Rhodes came to the WWF: Akeem the African Dream, everything from the name to a white guy acting like a black guy and dancing like an idiot was a spot-on Dusty parody. Dusty talked about this in quite some detail in his book, on the WWE DVD and some other Shoot Interviews (like that one from 1999). I can understand why many think it was a sort of "punishment" from Vince, since quite a few Wrestlers were turned into complete Crap by Vince because of various reasons, though those never had anything to do with them "being stars at the competition", like the Road Warriors and Rocco was a punishment more for them failing drug tests and being hard to work with or Ricky Steamboats 1991 Gimmick was for lying to Vince about retiring in 1988 just to show up in WCW in 1989 or Owen Hart with the Blue Blazer Gimmick in 1999 which was a punishment for him refusing various storylines like the one with Debra.
Otherwise we would've seen tons of Stars from other promotions ending up as fools at WWF like Ric Flair, Lex Luger, The Road Warriors in their first run, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Harley Race, Kerry von Erich and while some wrestlers had stupid gimmicks later on, it was just how the time at WWF was. The Skinner gimmick was dumb but i doubt it was a humiliation of Steve Keirn (one of the biggest Stars in Florida before: 5x World Champion, 12x Tag Team Champion, 5x NWA US-Tag Team Champion)

Aparently I had a stroke on my keyboard 2 years ago. I have no recollection of this comment...
Mrs Krajenke
That is exactly what I was thinking, you took the words right out of my mouth!!!!
Wow akeem makes total sense now
Me and V1 got some taste. I'm not gonna lie I was pissing my with laughter when he introduced Ronnie there.
Lol @ when The Ultimate Warrior does his Gorilla Press Slam, he grabs the wrestlers by their balls instead of their inner thigh!
He was the worst.
God awful wrestler.
Wow I didn't realise how utterly camp as Christmas that Dusty was in the 80s.
In the late 80s. You might already know this but in the 70s to most of the 80s he was wrestling in (and booking) violently bloody matches elsewhere in NWA and Jim Crocket Promotions. His forehead and bicep is badly scarred from barbed wire and from blading. When Vince brought him to WWF, his best action days were behind him and of course Vince didn't want blood on tv, so WWF Dusty was all just campy personality and goofy polka dots. He was in blue jeans and t-shirt before that. Sadly, Vince didn't actually want Dusty, but he didn't want NWA or WCW to have him because he was a top guy back in the day, so he was brought in as a funny good-time dancing goofball.
i love the matches they slicey splice in the end of their reviews.
I only learned about this a few months back, but Duggan wasn't even supposed to wrestle at this SummerSlam. Originally, Big John Studd was supposed to team with Demolition, as he was feuding with Andre again, but Studd left the company very suddenly, so Duggan was subbed in. Honestly, I would have loved to have seen the original match.
I love these damn shows. Awesome to listen to while doing class assignments.
Lmao oh ya the sweet Ferrari miata 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂💯
Lord Alfred Hayes not being able to tell the difference between the Rockers...:-)
A double axe handle could get you a 3 count if you make it your finisher. Just give it a really cool name.
The PIper/Rude feud was based around Roddy coming in as Gorilla Monsoon's color commentator on Prime Time - while Bobby Heenan had an hour of Prime Time for the Bobby Heenan Show - which was a delightful insane schmoz of non-talent and oddities.
The week prior to SummerSlam - Bobby got tired of Roddy Piper threatening him, so he brought Rude to deal with Roddy Piper, and Piper said he was going to be in the Meadowlands and Rude said he didn't dare come there (implying that Piper would interfere and cost Warrior the title match).
Piper was more sneaky than that I guess.
Love the reviews. One of the best things on TH-cam. Only constructive criticism is is that you guys def need an audio equalizer. The decibel level from when you guys are talking to when you are laughing is staggering. Very very loud when laughing
You do realize they are over 100 episodes deep and this is #14 right? This was like 9 or so years ago. Go listen to the newer stuff it’s markedly improved
Akeem spaz dancing.The only thing that HAS stayed the same looking back
How had I not seen that shit with Hogan and the WTC before? Roflmao. Hercules was priceless as well so fucking funny. Keep up the good work lads!
Ultimate warrior's theme is rock...I still love to listen this theme...
1:05:13 - 1:05:17 Those Macho Man eyes
Im not the only one who watches years old vids! Classics
I met Virgil in person as well once… exact same thing, except I didn’t give him any money, and he dissed me bad for not wanting to pay $20 for a pic. Just walked away from me. And when I say exact same thing… I mean exact same situation…. he even had the banner that said “Million Dollar man and Virgil”… and wouldn’t you know it, no Million Dollar Man. What a “coincidence”!! 😂🤦🏻♂️
Zeus genuinely scared the life out of me when I was a kid. Only one to do that until Takers debut...
I thought Zues was going to burst out of the egg at the survivors series that taker debuted in.
@@markant9534 Haha, that would of been a gimmick killer lol
Same here.
Hear the crowd!!! I miss this energy!!
