Summer Slam 90 - Best Match on that card was the 2 out of 3 falls match between Demolition & the Hart Foundation. One of my favorite tag team matches of all time. The flow of that match, it is hard to criticize it.
Man I was hoping someone would mention this! Absolute classic that doesn't get talked about nearly enough today. Incredible tag match
My favourite tag team match in WWF. Absolutely incredible.
Man, that was a great match. The crowd was totally in to it too
This was my favourite match of Summerslam 90, I loved Demolition but HF were always my favourite tag team so it was great to see HF get their hands on the titles again
In My Opinion The Hart Foundation vs Demolition Summer Slam 1990 2 Out Of 3 Falls Was The Greatest Tag Tram Match Ever!!!
They and the Bulldogs were some of the best tag teams I have ever had the pleasure of watching
The thing with Bill and Barry is they were always for the match. It wasn't about them winning,. They wanted to the best match on the card whether they won or lost. They were really were professionals in that they wanted to deliver the best match for the fans. It's awesome to hear Bret give respect for them for that. Bret could've been negative or whatever, but he told the truth that Demolition's questions were about whether or it was the best for the fans or not. Demolition understood what sells is what gets you over.
I could watch yesteryear WWF content all night. I just got done watching matches between Andre and Bundy, and Bam Bam vs Bundy.
The Colossal Jossel!
The Hart Foundation vs Demolition (Ax, Smash & Crush) 2 out of 3 Falls WWF Title Match at Summerslam 90 is my absolute aTag Team Bout EVER....If there's ONE tag match I Could watch on loop without never gettiingf bored of it, this is the one.....The moves, the psychology, the work rate, the atmsophere with one of the mosr rabids crowds ever witrh one of the most INSANE POPS Ever for its brillant finish....Tag Team Pro Wrestling PERFECTION !!!!!!
Mine to. You could not go wrong with that match. It is definitely up there as a favorite of mine, with the classics the Midnight Express & the Rock N Roll Express had. Also Steiners vs Gordy/Williams, even though they didn’t have that many matches in WCW for too long, they were fun to watch.
100% agree! That match should be talked about so much more than it is today. What a classic
Loved Demolition. Them and the Hart Foundation had great matches.
Demolition was SO much fun to watch.
And who had a better entry song during that time than them? When that guitar riff started, you knew things were going to get rough!
The road warriors
I wasn’t a big tag team wrestling fan but I loved that period with all them teams
Same here. There's been exactly one team in the last 15 years I gave half a crap about, and that was Team Hell No (Kane & Bryan)
I friggin loved Demolition, even more than LOD.
Ax was my guy, and I loved the Masked Superstar anyway.
When my cousin and I would be a tag team vs my 4 years older brother (who would "team" with himself lol, cuz ya know, older bigger, etc.), and we would pull teams/wrestlers out of a hat, when we got Demolition not only would I be so fired up, but I HAD to be Ax. I'd do his double ax handles so perfectly,,and his more subdued tongue stick out and yell/laugh (Smash was always more crazy with the yelling 😅)....
Smash couldn't bring the speed and power of the double sledge beat down like Ax could 😅
Demolition and Hart Foundation were the two best WWF tag teams of that era
Of any era! Demolition, Hart Foundation, Nasty Boys, Legion of Doom, Rockers etc.
British bulldogs and rockers where great aswell
Brain Busters. 80's had the best tag era.
Bulldogs and High Energy as well.
Bushwhackers, LOD and the Rocker’s
What was great is Demolition started just after Wrestlemania 3 and the Hart Foundation were in the WWF just before wrestlemania 2. Both teams officially split up on the 2nd of May 1991 when they had their final match (against each other), they knew both teams were finishing, so requested to face each other, as a nice way to finish their run in these tag teams. They were replaced on the card by the Natural Disasters forming and the Beverly brothers coming in. Within a few months Bret Hart became intercontinental champion, the Anvil was teamed with Owen Hart. Smash became Repo Man, and Crush was turned face. 2 great teams.
Demolition, Legion of Doom, Hart Foundation, Rockers, Natural Disasters, Steiner Brothers no other era was that stacked in terms of tag teams! Now it’s just throw any random wrestlers together for a few months and create a tag team.
Dont forget the killer bees and the islanders
@@caesarb5153 Don't Forget The Powers of Pain, The British Bulldogs,The Strike Force, The Rougeaux..
I liked Power & Glory, The Orient Express and the Bushwackers from that era too. Not sure about The Beverley Brothers.
The nasty boys too.
And don't forget the Nasty Boys
Big fan of all 4!
That's the longest I heard Bret talk without burrying anyone!
Was thinking the same thing 😅
Best tag team ever. The Hart Foundation. Ao unique, and in so many ways.
The crockett cup was ahead of its time. Those guys in there wouldve been great
One of the best tag matches ever was,the Rockers vs the Foundation on SME . Always considered the Rockers far superior to the Rock n Roll Express.
Agreed. The Rockers basically took the idea of the Rock N Roll Express and improved it tenfold. Michaels was way more athletic than Ricky Morton and Jannetty definitely a better worker than Gibson. But I think also it depends on the territory; what the Rockers did worked well in the North and obviously the RNRE was loved in the Southern states.
I owned summer slam 88 on vhs hes right it was an awesome match
80s & 90s...GREATEST ERA OF WWF. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Demolition should have had another 5 to 7 year run in the WWF.
For me, as a kid in the '80's, It was Hogan, then Demolition. In particular, Bill Eadie, aka AX. It's amazing to me that you have guys who've been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, and Bill Eadie is not in it at all....Eadie could arguably be in it three times, for his work as The Masked Superstar, Super Machine and of course AX.
You said it man. Bill Eadie deserves his spots at least 3x. I was too young to see it happen live but his work in the Mongols was great too
It's not amazing to think he's not in the HOF, it's logic -- Bill lead the multimillion lawsuit against WWE several years ago, the one that got dismissed by a judge several times, so of course Vince won't be eager to induct a guy that basically wanted to scam him out of millions. Now with HHH in charge of the inductions they might go in this year, Hunter is the one who convinced Bruno and Warrior to come back for an induction, he might do it with Bill and Barry this year.
@@jonathanturbide2232 Yeah, it's a joke. That's what logic tells me.... It has less to do with accomplishments, and more to do with being a gimmick...If it was based on the former, Bill would already be in. That's my point.
@Jonwood74 Na, in this case we're talking about lawsuits and millions of $$$ - it goes well beyond pro wrestling and accomplishments in the ring, that's my point. There's no way any corporation or business owner out there would reward and honor someone suing them for millions, Eadie crossed a line he shouldn't have crossed and Vince had every reason to ignore him. Sucks for the fans and for Barry Darsow, but that's all on Eadie. Hopefully HHH will still find a way to induct them, I don't agree with what Eadie tried to do but hey Demolition being in the Hall is definitely a must.
@@jonathanturbide2232Is Jesse Ventura in the Hall Of Fame?....
All the hate Demolition gets saying their just a rip off road warriors is stupid their wwf matches were some of my favorite fo watch back in the day. They were badass
I never saw Demolition as an LOD rip-off. I think Powers Of Pain more accurately fit that description
What year was this shot?
2006
Neidhart did a great impression
Rip neidhart
Four legends but even back then Brett loved to talk and pat himself on the back.
Brett could back it up, though. I never saw him put in less than 100% effort. Some guys occasionally just went through the motions but #1 Brett Hart and #2 Arn Anderson always seemed to lay it all out there.
Bret.
@@MortonT1958 Bret.
All about Brett!!
Bret.
Rip Jim natalia is continuing your legacy
Get a life, dude
Good
I think someone may have bumped up before this.
I really hated Demolition's return to being a heel tag team. When they initially defected from Mr. Fuji that was such an epic parting, that getting him to manage them again was really a d*ck move. It was like saying: "We have always been in this for ourselves, and to hell with what the fans think". As a kid, I wasn't familiar with kayfabe, nor did I have any idea that Vince McMahon was pulling all the strings in the WWF.
The trouble was that they had run out of credible heel opponents so they became the heels out of the three of them/ Harts/ Rockers, interfering in that tag team match on SNME to force a DDQ. Then when Crush came along, Adams had been working as heel American Ninja Bryan Adams in PNW so he was better at that point as a heel anyway.
They had some wins over The Orient Express before WM6, Rhythm N Blues were not ready yet, the Colossal Connection had split up, so had the Powers of Pain and the Bolsheviks. They were flat out of heel opponents.
The next trouble was fans continued to cheer for them so they had to go further with getting rid of the Cool elements of their personas, changing the music and crawling back to Fuji and for a while being masked, so that they could be foul creatures of the night (as was the original plan in 1987) rather than the Kool Krazy Killers fans saw them as by WM4. It might yet have worked, they could have had The Nasty Boys' spot and been tag champs a 4th time in 1991 from WM7 to Ss91 in between the Harts' and LOD.
I wander if Jim is high during this. Which is why Bret does most talking. Jim seems spaced out 😆
Demolition from MAD mAX
Damn Anvil looks tired af
They were like a Road Warriors cover band.
I love these but the audio fucking sucks.
Bret looks frustrated every time Jim speaks that’s very rude of him
Bret bragging like usual.
Rofl!¡ Is it just me or are these two high as a kite?? Just saying...
By the way I'm not hating.. Hart foundation is one of the greatest tag teams of all time
Bret h is kinda like the opposite of the ultimate warrior. UW had the look, the promos, x factor.......
but couldn't wrestle a lick
Warrior had the look and an x factor, but his promos sucked.
"20 minute broadway" huh jim? 😂😂😂
You do realize that Jim is right? For some reason people think going an hour is a "broadway". Going the time limit is a broadway. That's why you will hear wrestlers talk about 20 minute, 40 minute or 45 minute broadways. If you hear the ring announcer for example announce that this is a 30 minute time limit and the wrestlers go the full 30 minutes then it is a 30 minute broadway. And since the Harts/Demos matches were likely House Show main events and they were protecting both teams they probably went 15 to 20 minutes.
