Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

alexanderdavies-99382 Summerslam 1990 had some marvellous names on the card, plus some good story angles. The P.P.V had the potential to be a highly memorable one. Sadly, this wasn't the case in my opinion. The matches of The Rockers vs Power and Glory was too one-sided and also too predictable. Shawn Michaels had a legitimate leg injury so I can understand why he couldn't participate in the tag team match. Even so, it was disappointing. The Sapphire/ Queen Sherri match didn't even bloody happen so it was a waste of time in planning it! They had a bit of heat with their angle and I'll bet the fans were looking forward to it. The match of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Volkoff against The Orient Express was terrible from beginning to end. Tito Santana had become a midcarder at this stage of his career when he took on The Warlord but it was a decent match anyway. Jake Roberts vs Bad News Brown was ok and Big Boss Man as the guest referee was a good idea. Macho King and Dusty Rhodes were still in the middle of their feud when they had their dreadful match at Summerslam. Rhodes was losing momentum by now and he didn't stay for much longer with the WWE. Mr. Perfect defended his I.C title against newcomer Texas Tornado after Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake had to withdraw. The resulting match was ok but too short. Demolition vs The Hart Foundation in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the tag team titles is undoubtedly the best one on the card. There were numerous twists and turns and I enjoyed it. The new member being Crush, meant that Ax was being fazed out due to an injury. Legion of Doom certainly added some spice to this title match and should have been included on the Summerslam card. The Hart Foundation proved they are one of the leading teams in wrestling history and deserved another title reign. Now for the double main event: Hulk Hogan had been absent from the company for a short time but he still had a good angle with the superheavyweight that was Earthquake. In Hogan's corner was Big Boss Man and with Earthquake was Canadian strong man, Dino Bravo. I rate the match as being very good. It was bound to be a bit more leisurely paced but it worked up about good head of steam. The Ultimate Warrior defended his heavyweight title against Ravishing Rick Rude inside a steel cage. It was the first time this kind of match had been held at a Summerslam event and it is great. The Warrior and Rude had re-ignited their angle from the previous year. According to various sources, Rude left the company in disgust after discovering how much The Warrior was paid for the cage match. That was quite a loss as Ravishing Rick Rude is a fine worker. Vince McMahon and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper provided some very good commentary. Some very good matches but also some very poor ones.

bh_tafe3 There had been a big shift in the professional wrestling landscape since The Ultimate Warriors upset win over Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania VI. Warrior had surrendered the Intercontinental Title, allowing Mr Perfect to win a tournament and become IC Champion. In the meantime the Warrior had been challenged by Rick Rude, the man who ended his winning streak at Wrestlemania V, to a match for the WWE Title.Hulk Hogan had been destroyed by Earthquake not long after his loss at Wrestlemania VI, but the prayers and letters from his Hulkamaniacs had given him the strength to come back and he would make a play for revenge tonight on Earthquake and Heenan.But first let's start the night with Paul Roma and Hercules aka Power and Glory defeating the Rockers Shawn Micheals and Marty Janetty. Well they beat Janetty anyway, Micheals was hit by HErcules and blew out his knee before the match. Fictional as far as I know. Marty puts up a fight for about 6 minutes, but falls to the mighty Hercules.Mean Gene gets some words with IC Champion Mr Perfect and Bobby Heenan, and then with his opponent Kerry Von Erich, the Texas Tornado. Von Erich defeated Perfect, winning a short match. The crowd went wild and this was a great moment. Tragically, Von Erich failed a drug test, was fired, and took his own life about a year later. A talented performer, his death was a huge loss for professional wrestling.Sapphire didn't turn up for her match with Queen Sherri. Sherri had the ref declare her winner by forfeit and forced him to raise her hand. It turned out that Sapphire, Dusty Rhodes' favourite woman had been bought out by the Million Dollar Man, turning on Rhodes.Next up Warlord defeated Tito Santana in a short match, Mean Gene then interviewed WWE tag Team Champions Demolition and the Hart Foundation about their upcoming two out of three falls championship match. Tonight Demolition was made up of Smash and Cruch, who have the same weird face paint which they use to cheat at various times in the match. They split the first two falls. The end comes with the Legion of Doom drawing Smash out of the ring, giving the Hart Foundation the chance to double team Crush and get the pin. Your winners and new WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Foundation.Next up we get a series of interviews before Jake the Snake Roberts defeats Bad News Brown by DQ In Brown's final match in the WWE. Brown jabs Snake in the ribs with a steel chair to get the match thrown out.Next up we have Sgt Slaughter telling us all that Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the rest of America has gone soft by being welcoming to Russians. He brings this up to set up his defection to Iraq and also because Hacksaw is siding with Russian Nikolai Volkoff in the next match.Well, Duggan and Volkoff have little trouble dispatching the Orient Express in a very short match. Tanaka eats the pin.This is followed by a other short match with Randy Savage ending his feud with Dusty Rhodes with a victory. Rhodes had just found doubt before the match that Sapphire had turned on him and allied herself with DiBiase. He was easily distracted by Queen Sherri who slipped a loaded purse to Savage for the Macho King to knock him out get the pin.This leads us to the big match of the night, Hulk Hogans taking on the man who had sideline him earlier in the year Earthquake. Earthquake hits some devastating moves on Hogan, including two splashes, BUt HOgan hulks up and brawls with Earthquake outside the ring, slipping back into beat a 10 count and claiming a count out victory. Hulkamania was back, but the magic would be largely absent this time unfortunately.Next comes the interviews with Rick Rude and Ultimate Warrior and finally our Main Event as Warrior puts the WWE Championship on the line inside a steel cage. This match is a little more one sided than some of their earlier matches. Rude come off the top of the cage a few times, but Warrior calls down the powers, hits guerrilla press slam and climbs out of the cage. Not a long, or as memorable, as some of their earlier matches.Well, Hulkamania was back, though diluted, and Warrior continued along his merry way as champion. Just where was all this going? Well, we'd have to wait till Survivor Series to find out.

dave78 First ever event i watched thought it was real looking back its still a fantastic event the first match was excellent a real underdog fight with a realistic ending Perfect losing was a waste of one of the best characters ever he should of kept the title for a long time Warlord could have fought barbarian in a tag match with heenan and slick. The harts match could be the greatest tag match I've ever seen. i cannot understand why l.o.d where not used and even though hogan earthquake was good everyone wanted a hogan warrior rematch. Why bother wasting peoples time with bad news vs jake it was terrible and what has poor tito done to vince to be jobbed every two minutes

Spawn Devil In the spring of 1990, Hulk Hogan's career was in jeopardy. Weeks after a brutal encounter with the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania, Hogan was attacked by the 500-pound Earthquake, who repeated squashed Hogan enough times to send him to the hospital. Inspired by cards and letters from his Hulkamanics, Hogan returned to announce he had signed to fact Earthquake at SummerSlam 1990. Although Hogan did not get the revenge he wanted - Jimmy Hart and Dino Bravo interfered on Earthquake's behalf to give Hogan the DQ win - it was clear that Hogan and Hulkamania were back, and better than ever! SummerSlam '90 capped the bitter feud between the Ultimate Warrior and `Ravishing' Rick Rude when Warrior defeated Rude in a steel cage to retain the WWE Championship. Two title changes also took place: The Hart Foundation defeated Demolition in a best-of-three falls match to become WWE Tag Team Champions, and Kerry Von Erich - `The Texas Tornado' - defeated Mr. Perfect to win the Intercontinental Championship.
