For 30 years, Summerslam dominated the summer of professional wrestling and built a legacy as the second most important pay-per-view in the WWE’s calendar year behind Wrestlemania.  Over the years, the show has been used as a way to help young talent make a name for themselves and to allow legends from the past make a comeback. While not holding the prestige of a Wrestlemania, being featured in a big match on the Summerslam card can still do wonders for your career. Along the way, we have also been treated to some memorable shows that make the biggest party of the summer an essential part of our professional wrestling experience. In this series, I will be reviewing every single Summerslam leading up to the big event on August 19th 2018. I hope you join me on this journey and leave your thoughts in comments. The show’s ratings and overall grade is below. Enjoy. 

Overall show grade: Average Show! (C) Nothing noteworthy or worth watching more than once, but you managed to sit through the entire show entertained for the most part. Average matches, some good, some not so good. Storylines make little to no progression and booking at points are questionable. If you watch it, you’ll be entertained by it. However, you most likely won’t remember it as time goes by. A simple blueprint, by the books, show.

Date: August 27th 1990
Arena: The Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
Attendance: 19,304
Commentary: Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper

Before the next match began, Millon Dollar Man Ted Dibiase shows up on stage.  Ted Dibiase appeared on the stage with Virgil. Dibiase said this is his latest purchase, the sweet Sapphire. It is revealed Dibiase paid her to throw the match earlier with Sensational Sherri. She comes out in a fur coat and an expensive dress with a load of money in the bag. Rhodes is devastated and Macho King Randy Savage picked his bones as a result.
