10 Best WWE SummerSlam Moments Of The 90s

10. The Demolition Dynasty Downfall

It's fitting that the list begins with a match involving Mr. SummerSlam himself, Bret "Hitman" Hart, in his early days tagging with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. The Hart Foundation had been on a collision course with Demolition as far back as SummerSlam '88 culminating in a 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam '90.

In the best match of the night, the Foundation defeated the trio of Demolition (Ax, Smash, & Crush) with the help of the Legion Of Doom, ending their final reign as Tag Team Champions. While the Demolition team would survive for several months, this marked the beginning of the end of Demolition's dynasty.

Ax and Smash had dominated WWE's tag team scene since debuting in 1987, holding the titles a record-tying three times including a record-setting reign of 478 straight days.

By the end of 1990, Ax was forced to retire due to health issues which precipitated Crush becoming his full-time replacement. By WrestleMania VII, Smash and Crush were near the bottom of the totem pole, losing to Tenryu & Kitao, Japanese wrestlers that weren't even a regular part of WWE.

The Hart Foundation finally dethroning Demolition at SummerSlam '90 showed fans what to expect from the event in the years to come.
