| 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 wouldn't say Repo was a jobber. If he was a jobber, then almost everyone was at the time. He was a midcarder who eventually drifted to becoming a low carder before leaving the WWE. Like a lot of guys not named Shawn, Bret, Taker or Yoko, Darsow wasn't given a lot of time with the new character. He did play an important role in the DiBiase/Virgil feud and had a nice short program with Randy Savage in 1993.
After he left the WWE, he continued his singles career in WCW. The only memorable thing he did during the initial return was along with Dustin Rhodes, being fired for blading during a taped match. That "Match" was on the back of a moving semi.

I'm not sure when exactly he returned, but he was a regular on WCW Saturday Night in a golfer gimmick. I seem to recall he eventually started coming out to a new gimmick every episode of Saturday Night. It's those years (After the first firing) that Darsow was a true jobber. However, besides the Gambler, Darsow's jobber character was one of the more memorable ones at the time.

I knew that Bret didn't work with Neidhart immediately 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...
|
If it wasn't for the Hart Foundation, Bret would of become Bret 'The Cowboy' Hart. Something tells me he wouldn't have gotten over.

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.
|
Minus the main event, none of the placement really means anything. After all, we got a freakin' time limit draw in the first match.

No intermission that I saw. I wouldn't put it past the WWE to leave it in there, though.
|
I assume it's not in then. You would of remembered it if you would of saw it. It was nothing but interviews of boxers and shots of boxing.

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.

I like the structure of the reviews. Just something a bit different than the normal way. I'm looking forward to review of '89. That's one of my favorite Summerslams. I've been meaning to review 1990 for months now. Seeing yours might get me interested in doing it.
