Now this was more like it. While the 1988 SummerSlam was only as strong as one historic title change and a handful of solid tag team matches, its 1989 successor proved to be much more enjoyable...
The year 1988 gave us three truly incredible things: the Die Hard movie franchise, Nintendo Power magazine, and SummerSlam. Yes, the final tentpole of WWE's Big Four pay-per-view package was stuck...
