The WORST Moment From EVERY WWE SummerSlam
35. The Entire Main Event (1991)
'Haven't the fans suffered enough' could be said for 1991's headliner too.
It was a disgraceful showing from all concerned, both in front of the curtain and behind it. Privately (or...not so privately for those who happened to be within earshot), The Ultimate Warrior was holding Vince McMahon up for more money before teaming with Hulk Hogan vs. the trio of Sgt. Slaughter, Col. Mustafa and General Adnan in the show's main event.
That handicap bout turned out be one of the dirt worst PPV attractions known to man. Adnan was appalling, Mustafa (a past his prime Iron Sheik) could barely move properly, and Slaughter had already been chewed up then spat out by the babyfaces earlier in the year. So, why the hell was this even booked?
Tensions were running high due to all of the backstage drama involving Warrior (who else?!), but everybody seemed content to phone things in. Only Sid Justice, with his unique refereeing attire, seemed must see and like a future player in the company. That'd prove to be false, at least until later in the decade following another stint in WCW.
Honestly, go back and watch this if terrible matches are your thing. Some folks get a kick out of seeing the worst of the worst, and this was absolutely that. McMahon was starting to lose his magic touch when coming up with "extravaganzas" for these pay-per-views, and he promptly told a disruptive Warrior where to go as soon as the match was done.
He'd be back though. Multiple times.
