Hello and welcome to another edition
of Seanomaniac Wrestling Reviews, the only wrestling review series on the
internet that has less credibility than a Brad Sheppard report! It’s WWF
Saturday Night’s Main Event, the one before Survivor Series 1990. Featuring the
likes of LOD, The Ultimate Warrior, Texas Tornado and Demolition. Let’s see
what the WWF has to offer!
LOD &
Ultimate Warrior vs Demolition
As we head towards Survivor Series, we
have a little preview of one of the major matches as LOD who had been at war
with Demolition throughout the year team up with the WWF Champion The Ultimate
Warrior to have this massive six-man tag match. Warrior runs down to the ring
and we have a triple clothesline as Demolition are sent tumbling to the floor.
Dustin Rhodes is here at ringside, I am sure that will mean something later.
Smash and Animal kick off the match officially, Smash clotheslines and clubs
Animal. Rights from Smash, Animal reverses an Irish whip and lands his powerslam
for two.
Smash smacks the throat of Animal, tag
to Ax. Animal tags Warrior, multiple stomps in the corner. Running shoulder
blocks from Warrior, clothesline takes down Ax. Scoop slam for Smash, scoop
slam for Crush and Ax. Warrior misses his splash on Ax though, Smash tags into
the match. Axe handles from Smash, Smash talks to the referee as Crush hurls
Warrior into the ring apron. Warrior tries fighting back but Crush grabs
Warrior from the apron. Smash reassumes control as Demolition quick tag in and
out while punishing Warrior. Crush is the legal man, Crush chokes Warrior in
the corner. Tag to Smash, they all beat down Warrior before Animal makes the
save.
Demolition Decapitator is stopped by
Hawk, Smash is down holding his back while Warrior is rallying on the canvas.
Tag to Hawk, big right hand. Elbow for Smash, flying shoulder block from Hawk.
Fist drop, Hawk to the top rope. Diving Clothesline, Hawk sees Crush and Ax
coming in but Hawk batters them away. In comes Warrior, clotheslines for Smash
and Ax on the apron. LOD attack the other two members of Demolition. Flying
shoulder tackle from Warrior on Smash, Ultimate Splash and this match is over!
Hot crowd, action is fast and snug as Demolition
cheat at every corner while Warrior and LOD run through everything in their
way. Like bulldozers, Team Warrior bring the pain to this match and it was a
lot of fun when all was said and done, great way to kick off the show.
Winners: Team
Warrior over Demolition via Ultimate Splash!
Macho King Randy
Savage vs Dusty Rhodes
Big rematch from Summerslam here as
Sapphire was stolen away from Dusty which led to Savage stealing the win over
Rhodes. Sapphire is now in the corner of Ted Dibiase which is a sight almost
too sore to bear for Rhodes. Savage gets caught with an elbow, hard Irish whip.
Make it two, bearhug from Rhodes. Savage rakes the eyes, jabs by Savage. Savage
reverses an Irish whip, hip-toss is blocked for a backslide pin from Rhodes for
two. Rhodes is distracted by Sherri, knee from Savage. Sherri chokes Rhodes
behind’s the referee’s back. Knee drop by Savage, lefts and rights by Savage. Sleeper
by Savage, here comes Dibiase and Virgil.
They buy off the fans and gain seats,
Dibiase and Virgil are front row for this match. Dustin Rhodes tears up the
money, Dibiase is in shock. Dibiase sits down by Dustin, Rhodes breaks free
from the sleeper. Shoulder block, Dibiase and Dustin are having issues. Bionic
Elbow on Savage, Rhodes is on the floor shouting at Dibiase. We take a break,
Savage is in control. Eye rake, and a choke using the top rope. Sherri chokes Rhodes
behind the referee’s back, cover for two. Top rope guillotine from Savage,
diving axe handle for two.
Savage chokes at The American Dream,
rights and lefts by Savage. Rhodes is firing up, another eye rake by Savage.
Rhodes sends Savage into the buckle, shot to the throat by Savage. Savage
misses a knee to the back, headbutt from Rhodes. Rhodes counters a scoop slam
for a two, Savage and Rhodes are trading punches. Savage misses a diving axe
handle, Dustin nails Dibiase. Dibiase and Virgil are brawling with Dustin,
Dustin is down. Rhodes has no idea, choking the life out of Savage in the ring.
However, Rhodes spots what is going on, saving his son. Savage is on the top
rope, diving axe handle with Rhodes hitting the guardrail, Savage wins by count-out.
Great way to build heat for the
Dibiase vs Rhodes match, Dusty dives onto his son to save him from the beaten
that Dibiase lays down on him. Dustin blades too which looks great with his
long flowing blonde hair. Terrific stuff with Dusty cradling Dustin, I want to
see these two go at it so badly right now. Savage rips up a poster of Warrior,
a subtle hint at things to come down the road. Fun match, great angle.
Winner: Randy
Savage over Dusty Rhodes via Count-Out!
Tugboat &
Hulk Hogan vs Rhythm & Blues W/ Jimmy Hart
Hogan’s partner is back, the fearsome
Tugboat is here and he wants Bravo & Earthquake but they have to settle for
Rhythm & Blues. Valentine has dyed his hair black and is teaming with
Honky, prolonging his WWF career which was a wise choice for both men at this
point as the focus was shifting towards a lot of newer and younger stars in the
WWF. Hogan and Honky to kick us off, knee by Honky. Right hands by Honky, tag
to Valentine. Kicks by the tag team, Hogan ducks their clothesline though and
nails a massive clothesline on Rhythm & Blues. Hogan whips both into the
boot of Tugboat, it’s timber for Valentine & Honky.
Tag to Tugboat, arm-wringer from
Tugboat. Valentine jumps into the ropes, tag to Hogan. Middle rope axe handle,
arm-wringer from The Hulkster. Tag to
Tugboat, axe handle for Valentine. Eye rake from Valentine, chopping away at
Tugboat. Elbow to the head, tag to Honky. Honky runs into a bearhug, Valentine
comes in illegally with an axe handle. Stomps from Honky, tag to Valentine. Big
knee drops to the back of the head, tag to Honky. Big elbow to the throat,
Hogan makes the save. Valentine gets in some cheap shots behind the referee’s
back, tag to Honky. Axe handles from Honky, choke from Honky. Reverse chin-lock
from Honky, tag to Valentine. Double elbow misses, tag to Hogan. Right hands
for Jimmy Hart as well as Rhythm & Blues, whip and axe bomber from Hogan.
Hogan mounts Valentine and delivers
massive right hands, another Irish whip. Elbow to Valentine, big boot from
Hogan. Hogan stops from doing the leg drop as Tugboat spots Earthquake coming
down to ringside, Bravo too. Hogan tags Tugboat, double clothesline from Tugboat
& Hogan. Corner splash from Tugboat, Honky is knocked off the apron. Jimmy
Hart is grabbed by Tugboat, Honky waffles Tugboat with his guitar. We have a DQ
but Earthquake and Bravo are here, Hogan is trying to battle everyone off but
there are too many heels for Hogan to battle off, Tugboat is damaged from the
guitar to the back. Powerslam from Earthquake on Hogan, giant splash on Hogan.
Tugboat whacks Earthquake with the guitar, guitar shots for everyone as Tugboat
fends off everyone.
Another good angle on this show, Hogan
has been left battered once more by Earthquake. Earthquake is definitely a
force to be reckoned with in the WWF, a count-out victory at Summerslam left
the door for this feud open and we are rocking steadily onto Survivor Series,
another match I am looking forward to for sure.
Winners: Tugboat
& Hulk Hogan over Rhythm & Blues via DQ!
(WWF Intercontinental
Championship Match) Texas Tornado © vs Haku W/ Bobby Heenan
First defence for the newly crowned
Intercontinental Champion, Kerry Von Erich defeated Perfect at Summerslam but
here is Haku, another member of Heenan’s Family. Arm-drag and scoop slam from
Tornado, attempt at the claw-hold. Haku blocks and rolls to the floor, Haku
applies a sleeper after an Irish whip. Tornado escapes before running back into
a sleeper, Heenan seems to have something on his person. What could it be?
Tornado escapes the sleeper but Haku nails shoulder blocks, corner clothesline.
Headbutt by Haku, choke from Haku. Tornado escapes for an Irish whip to the
buckle, Claw Hold from Tornado. Spinning Tornado Punch from Tornado, this one
is over. Quick match to establish the reign of Tornado, nothing major to note
here.
Winner: Texas
Tornado over Haku via Tornado Punch!
Koko B Ware vs
Sgt. Slaughter W/ General Adnan
Slaughter made his pay per view debut
at Summerslam appearing on The Brother Love show, Slaughter a symbol of The USA
is now an Iraq sympathiser with General Adnan in his corner. Koko is the
quicker of the two, arm-drags which catch Slaughter off guard. Koko’s shoulder
block does not move Slaughter, Koko slides through the legs and delivers a
dropkick. Whip to the buckle but Koko misses the corner splash. Big chop and
back body drop from Slaughter, knee drops to the head. Back-breaker from
Slaughter for two, Koko is whipped to the ropes but Slaughter ducks the head.
Neck-breaker by Koko, two big dropkicks and a headbutt. Koko ducks a
clothesline but runs right into a stun-gun, knuckle-lock from Slaughter with
Koko submitting. Squash match to put over Slaughter, big things to come from
Slaughter.
Winner: Sgt. Slaughter
over Koko B Ware via Knuckle-Lock!
This was an above average edition of
the show for sure, the positives are the two excellent angles you get from the
first two matches of this show. We have the build up for Dusty Rhodes vs Ted
Dibiase with Dibiase attacking and busting open Dusty’s son Dustin. Dusty could
only throw his body on top of Dustin to protect his son from the attacks of
Virgil and Dibiase, it was great. We also had Earthquake once again destroy Hulk
Hogan, all the heels combined to do the damage to Hogan and I want to see those
two tear it up in the ring at Survivor Series! Thanks for reading and remember:
there’s always another night!
