Reviews
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
zkonedog After a series of WWF pay-per-views that were at best average (and often dreadful), SummerSlam 1994 finally puts on a really strange show (even despite a very slow start).The event starts with a few rather anti-climactic matches: -Tatanka vs. Lex Luger. Luger is a failed experiment by this point, while Tatanka is a huge fan favorite but for some reason Vince McMahon never really put him in a position to succeed. -A completely forgettable Women's Championship match. -Jeff Jarrett vs. Mabel. The "country vs. rap" battle. Mabel is just a big lug, while Jarrett is little more than a Rick Rude clone.From that ignominious beginning, however, the event then manages to amp up the match quality and entertainment value considerably:-Razor Ramon vs. Diesel is a match that probably has no business being as good as it was. Diesel is a competent "big man" wrestler, while Ramon's schtick was so good and he's a quality wrestler as well. -Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart in the Steel Cage. One of the best WWF matches of all-time both in terms of drama and technical execution. -Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) vs. Undertaker (w/Ted DiBiasie). Kind of a weird gimmick, but still a dramatic way to re-introduce Undertaker back into the mix.Overall, this was probably the most entertaining WWF event since perhaps early 1992 or so. All the top talent was matched up in the right places, and the "filler" was palatable.
SlyGuy21 1st Match: IRS and Bam Bam Bigelow vs The Headshrinkers. The match ending in a DQ is pretty lame for the first match of the night, but it's an entertaining brawl till then. Rating: 3/5 2nd Match: Alundra Blayze vs Bull Nakano, WWF Women's Championship. I'm still not sure if this is really good for a women's match at the time, because this is only the second one I've seen for 1994. There's some good back and forth action, and the crowd seems into it. Rating: 3.5/5 3rd Match: Razor Ramone vs Diesel, WWF Intercontinental Championship. A pretty hard hitting match. Ramone winning was good compensation for getting screwed at King of the Ring. Rating: 4/5 4th Match: Tatanka vs Lex Luger. So I'm guessing they had Tatanka turn heel in order to make the crowd like Luger more. The crowd certainly sounded like they were getting tired of his gimmick, so that's all I can go off of. The match is decent for 6 minutes, nothing substantial except for the turn at the end. Rating: 3/5 5th Match: Jeff Jarrett vs Mabel. Men on a Mission are certainly entertaining, but every time I see Jarrett win a match it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it's cuz I consider him an egomaniac, and his WWF gimmick got annoying a couple a PPVs back for me. At least the match is short. Rating: 2.5/5 6th Match: Bret Hart vs Owen Hart, Steel Cage match for the WWF Championship. The match starts off slow, but really picks up in the last 10 minutes. I don't know, but I'm starting to lose my interest in cage matches. Unlike Ladder matches or Hell in a Cell matches, cage matches normally follow the same exact formula, especially when it's just one-on-one. Near escapes aren't the same as near-falls, they get old real quick for me. That being said, Bret and Owen take some pretty hard bumps, and the crowd's a frenzy the whole time. The beat down after the match is way too long though, and wasn't all that surprising. Rating: 4/5 7th Match: Undertaker vs "Undertaker's Cousin, Brian Lee". I had heard the legends of this match, that it was stupid, and terrible, and awful, but it wasn't that bad. The concept is freakin' ridiculous, but watching Paul Bearer and Taker demolish someone is always fun to me. At the time, I imagine this was the coolest thing ever, but it hasn't aged well. This is the 90s though, so wrestling was more comedic than it is nowadays. It's a watchable match, but the cage match would've been a better ending than this. Rating: 3/5 Final Rating: 6 out of 10. While King of the Ring was a step in the right direction, this was a step back for me. There are only two standout matches on the card, and the rest are just mediocre and one is decent.
amanwhorocks This commentator guy is so annoying, but so! 1. Head Shrinkers Vs. Bam Bam Bigelow/I.R.S. - Normal match ended with DQ.. 6/10 2. Women Title Match: Bull Nakano Vs. Alundra Blayze - Good match with nice crowd reaction, because Nakano lost. 6.5/10 3. IC Title Match: Champ-Diesel Vs. Razor Ramon - I expected much worse match than was this one. Maybe the electricity works. 5.5/10 4. Tatanka Vs. Lex Luger - Worse than average. Tatanka won and turned heel. 5/10 5. Jeff Jarrett Vs. Mabel - Mabel is a little bit overrated 5.5/10 6. WWF Heavyweight title Cage Match: Owen Hart Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - Match on Wrestlemania X between these two was far better and more exciting. Cage matches are more heavy. 6.5/10 7. Undertaker Vs. Undertaker - I like Taker but that thing was stupid almost like that feud with Gonzáles, It was like some low-budget movie. 15 minute introduction and match that didn't worth for it. Crowd didn't like it at all. Zero reaction. 4.5/10 That Summerslam sucks!
Spawn Devil After the Undertaker's mysterious disappearance at the 1994 Royal Rumble, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase claimed to have bought the Undertaker to be a part of his Million Dollar Corporation. Fans doubted DiBiase's claims -- until the Million Dollar Man produced the Phenom! Still, Paul Bearer claimed that DiBiase's Undertaker was a fake. At SummerSlam 1994, DiBiase's "Underfaker" was defeated by Bearer's Undertaker, and the Phenom made a triumphant return to WWE! Also at SummerSlam 1994, Bret Hart retained the WWE against his brother Owen in a classic cage match! Bam Bam Bigelow & I.R.S defeated the Headshrinkers Women's Champion Alundra Blayze pinned Bull Nakano Razor Ramon pinned Diesel to win the Intercontinental Championship Tatanka pinned Lex Luger Jeff Jarrett pinned Mabel WWE Champion Bret Hart defeated Owen Hart in a Cage Match Undertaker pinned UndertakerOverall Mark: C+
