10 Worst SummerSlam Main Events Ever - According To Dave Meltzer

For the second time in as many years, SummerSlam focussed it's main event on a tag team endeavour that dwelled on the unease between Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan, though this time it could be argued that their rivalry had to work even harder to ensure respective partners Zeus and Brutus Beefcake didn't stink the joint out.

In defence of Hogan's 'Barber' buddy, he was in the form of his life from 1989 through to his devastating parasailing accident in 1990, and put in an energetic shift during portions of the match not completely destroyed by the sheer uselessness of Hogan's silver screen foe.

All bearhugs, chokes and glares, Zeus wasn't so much a small-dose guy as a 'beatdowns only' type. He'd been fine surprising Hulk at an April television taping, and looked threatening enough stood glowering as Randy Savage did the grunt work, but even extended portions with Hulk at his mercurial best didn't stop actual matches from grinding to a painful halt.

The finish was at least conclusive, with 'The Human Wrecking Machine' taking a shot with Sensational Sherri's loaded purse before falling to the leg drop. The match was also aided by Savage, who ran around like a maniac before, during and after the match to at least keep the audience glued during his partner's lumbering assaults.

Astonishingly, WWE got two more pay-per-views out of the Hogan/Zeus conflict, but thankfully welched on an early idea to have to face off in WrestleMania 6's main event the next year.
