I'll tell you why so serious

Great Film overall

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

They were the most powerful force in the history of wrestling. WWE Champion Randy Savage and former champion Hulk Hogan. But, just before Wrestlemania V that had all changed. Savage turned on Hogan, overcome by feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. Hogan then defeated Savage at Wrestlemania to win the WWE Championship in a thrilling contest. Savage was hurt by that loss and at Summerslam 1989, looked to end Hogan's career. Enlisting the help of the massive 7 foot monster Zeus to try and end Hulkamania forever.But first there were other matters to be resolved.FIrst up we get a good tag match as the Brainbusters Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson defeated the Hart Foundation. The Brainbusters had previously had great success in the NWA as part of the Four Horsemen along with Ric Flair and Barry Windham. They have a nice match here to open the show.Next is NWA legend Dusty Rhodes defeating the Honky Tonk Man with the Bionic Elbow. HTM was fareing quite well until his manager Jimmy Hart came into the ring and accidentally hit him with a megaphone. Mean Gene has a quick word to Hacksaw Jim Duggan and then Mr Perfect defeats the Red Rooster to remain undefeated. We then have Bobby Heenan and Rick Rude assuring all of us that Rude's victory over The Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania V was no fluke and that Rude would walk out of Summerslam as STILL the WWE Intercontinental Champion.Next up was the Rockers Shawn Micheals and Marty Janetty teaming up with Tito Santana and losing to the Rougeau brothers Jacques and Raymond, teaming up with Santana's former tag team partner Rick Martel. Martel pinned Janetty following shenanigans on the outside. All of these guys could go and this was an entertaining match.Next up Mean Gene talks to the Ultimate Warrior who says some indecipherable gibberish. The general gist is that he was going to beat Rick Rude in the next match and become a two time Inercontinental Champion. And that's exactly what happened. This is actually a very good match.Next we have another six man match, this time the good guys got up though with Jim Duggan and Demolition Ax and Smash defeating Andre the Giant with the Twin Towers Akeem and the Big Boss Man. Hacksaw hits Akeem with his 2 by 4 and Smash gets the pin.Next up the Million Dollar Man reminds us all that everyone has a price and also that he was going to beat Superfly Jimmy Snuka later on tonight.The most entertaining part of the next match was ring announcer Ronnie Garvin. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine pinned Hercules with his feet on the ropes. The ref noticed this and reversed his decision, meaning Hercules had won by disqualification.Oh my goodness, he's back. Million Dollar Man and Virgil talk to Mean Gene again. Wow, I'd forgotten he had a match later, it must have been 10 minutes since he said that. Why complain? DiBiase was gold. But Randy Savage, Sherri Martel and Zeus wanted a word as well. They just wanted to say Hogan and Beefcake were going to get rolled later on tonight. Good stuff again.Guess what? DiBiase really did beat Superfly Jimmy Snuka in the next match. A dodgy win thanks to a count out, but a win all the same.Next up we have our main event heroes Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake. Hulkamania's the strongest force in the world. Even bigger than Zeus.All the talking's over. Time for the main event and Zeus and Savage do themselves proud, dominating the match, but Hulkamania is stronger than both of them as Hogan hulks up and pins the mighty Zeus. Hogan and Beefcake get the win in a fun main event.Well if the Mighty Zeus couldn't stop Hulk Hogan, then who in the WWE had a chance? And who would challenge the Warrior next for the Intercontinental Championship?

*SPOILERS*This one had only one good singles match, The Ultimate Warrior vs. Rick Rude. Warrior was not a wrestler by any stretch of the imagination, but he always had excellent matches against Rude.The opening tag team match was about as good as they get. The Hart Foundation got cheated out of yet another SummerSlam win against the Brain Busters, but they probably could have gotten away with letting Tully and Arn win cleanly. But why weren't the titles on the line? I can't figure out any reason for this.I liked both of the six-man matches. Duggan, Demolition, Akeem, Andre, and Bossman in the same match is just fun to think about. And Duggan had the time of his life teaming with Ax and Smash. The other six-man match was incredibly good, but it would have worked better had the Rockers fought the Rougeaus and Martel faced Tito one on one. Although the Rockers would eventually dominate their feud with the Rougeaus, Jacques and Ray got the high-profile win at SummerSlam.Tiny Lister sure was a good sport with his Zeus gimmick. He's a serious actor, and this would be embarrassing to most actors. And I'm glad Brutus Beefcake got to be in the main event. This almost made up for the fact that he was cheated out of a title shot at the previous and next SummerSlam.Good show, worth a look. Honestly, you might want to fast-forward through the singles matches.

The original SummerSlam was superb. The second annual SummerSlam was also superb.Back in 1989 all the WWF stars put on good matches even though some of them had limited abilities. The WWF of 1989 had many varieties of wrestler-high flying wrestlers,technical wrestlers,brawlers etc.There are great matches throughout this card. There are two that really stand out. The Ultimate Warrior has an awesome match with the late Ravishing Rick Rude. This bout even topped their fantastic match from WrestleMania V.(SPOILER AHEAD)The main event pitted Hulk Hogan and his best buddy Brutus Beefcake against dastardly heels Randy Savage and the seemingly unstoppable Zeus. It was great to see Hogan and the power of Hulkamania overcome the 'invincible' Zeus.

This was a great wresteling event from 1989. It was held at the Medowlands Arena in New Jersey. I like the main event which was Hulk Hogan and Brutis "The Barber" Beefcake vs. The "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Zeus. That was a classic WWF Event. One other of the matches I thought was also great was Dusty Rhodes vs "The Honky Tonk Man." I will remember "The Blue Blazer" aka the late Owen Hart for his great wresteling matches including this one with "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning. Also, This was Andre The Giant's Last summerslam as he teamed up with The Big Boss Man and Akeem to take on "Hacksaw" Jim Duggin and The Rockers Shawn Micheals and Marty Jenatty. In anther great Match, This is a rematch from wrestlemaina 5, The Ultimate Warrior Tooked on "Ravishing" Rick Rude for the I.C. Belt and I loved it when the Warrior won his second I.C. belt. Rowdy Rowdy Piper was there, too. This was a great Pay-Per-Veiw.
