Goofs

Commentator Vince McMahon rather easily identifies Smash and Crush as the two Demolition members in the ring before they even remove their masks. But throughout the rest of the match, Vince plays up the "Demolition switch" angle by balking at how the members of Demolition are so difficult to tell apart (even with their masks off).

Recap

In the spring of 1990, Hulk Hogan's career was in jeopardy. Weeks after a brutal encounter with the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania, Hogan was attacked by the 500-pound Earthquake, who repeated squashed Hogan enough times to send him to the hospital. Inspired by cards and letters from his Hulkamanics, Hogan returned to announce he had signed to fact Earthquake at SummerSlam 1990. Although Hogan did not get the revenge he wanted - Jimmy Hart and Dino Bravo interfered on Earthquake's behalf to give Hogan the DQ win - it was clear that Hogan and Hulkamania were back, and better than ever! SummerSlam '90 capped the bitter feud between the Ultimate Warrior and `Ravishing' Rick Rude when Warrior defeated Rude in a steel cage to retain the WWE Championship. Two title changes also took place: The Hart Foundation defeated Demolition in a best-of-three falls match to become WWE Tag Team Champions, and Kerry Von Erich - `The Texas Tornado' - defeated Mr. Perfect to win the Intercontinental Championship.
