I'm in the process of watching this PPV for the first time and I must say it's pretty good so far (I'm currently watching the Rockers/Santana v. Rougeaus/Martel match which in itself if a good match so far). The only disappointing match was the Red Rooster v. Mr. Perfect match. Pretty uneventful but to be honest Taylor couldn't wrestle to save his life. But I need to know, how much longer after this card did Michaels dump Jannetty?

Shawn didn't turn on Marty until late 1991. The best part of Summerslam 89 was Mean Gene flipping out when the Summerslam logo collapsed during an interview with Rick Rude. Can't post a link due to profanity, but it's on YouTube. jt

Just turn your head or go piss or something when Duggan and Demolition vs. Andre and the Twin Towers comes up.
That one is painful.

But during that match he basically plodded his way though. At what point did he injure his knee? Couldn't have been long because the match was only 3 minutes long.

Taylor could wrestle and had a good look to him, but he was miserable on the mic and had no charisma.

This was a great PPV. The Hart Foundation/Brain Busters match was a very good opener, the six man tag was fun, and the Warrior/Rude match stole the show. The main event was fun too. There weren't many duds on the night, at least IMO. The only one I can think of is Valentine/Hercules and Dibiase/Snuka. I actually liked Dusty/Honky (good ending), and didn't mind Demolition-Hacksaw/Andre-Towers.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

I cant remember if that's it Yeah, Hart KO's Honky with the guitar so Dream could drop the elbow on him. It was one of my favorite Summerslams, also the Prime Time episode on WWE 24/7 right now did a great build up for the PPV. The banter with Piper and Heenan was great. Also, the Nassau Coliseum 6/10/89 show has a great match with the Rockers vs. The Rougeau Brothers.

Couldn't have been long because the match was only 3 minutes long. I think it's when he lands after a leapfrog.

Yeah. I just liked it because it got a big pop. From what I remember, it was a fairly decent match. Agreed. The crowd was into it, and it was fun for what it was. The guitar spot is what I remember most about it. Good crowd reaction.

Just watched this show for the first time in years. Warrior and Rude was great and the tag match with the Harts and Tully and Arn was fantastic. A shame those two teams didn't meet more often. Ventura was hysterical on the mic, going nuts when Warrior hit Rude with the belt.
Anyone catch the Primetime Summerslam special on 24/7?

I liked it, just about everything on the card seemed important, from the opening match to the main event.

Yeah, back then they did a great job promoting all the matches. Several weeks in advance too.
