I realized the Eadie had been The Masked Superstar, same as Darsow had a run in JCP before WWE (okay, I had to look up the Darsow stuff on Wiki). Just with Eadie's age and their relative skills, I don't expect they would have been doing a great deal as singles wrestlers. So far as I can recall, Repo Man was essentially a jobber who got a few storylines because of his gimmick. Which is likely how I figure either would have gone as a single's career. Basically, I was just trying to get across that I think the tag team allowed them to accomplish much more than they likely would have as singles workers. And you are correct about Demolition having a bigger part in WWE lore than LOD, for the most part.

I knew that Bret didn't work with Neidhart immediatley upon joining the WWE, but I didn't think they really did much with him prior to it. Perhaps my assumption about him getting over eventually without the Hart Foundation are incorrect...

I almost forgot about Roberts causing the disqualification in the Rude-JYD match. That makes a lot more sense. I didn't think that Roberts and Hercules were feuding at that point, so it really didn't seem like a major match. I was just curious about the placement of it.

No intermission that I saw. I wouldn't put it past the WWE to leave it in there, though.

My intent is to do similar things for all of the SummerSlams. I welcome any comments and discussion, as that's kinda the reason I'm doing this. I really hope Jim continues to contribute, as his knowledge of wrestling history never ceased to amaze me.
