Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE SummerSlam 29/08/1988 Match 8/Part 8 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there are flashing/colourful effects at some point in this match slot with cameras going off and lighting.

Background information: in summary before and after this match we have the fallout of The Ultimate Warrior vs. the Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man [with Colonel Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart:] Singles Match for the Intercontinental Championship; where The Ultimate Warrior unceremoniously dethrones The Honky Tonk Man in 31 seconds [where Man vows to recapture the Intercontinental Championship if it is the last thing he ever does; but spoiler looking up the holders of this Championship; he never does.

This just reminds me that once upon a time this Mid-Card Championship meant something and no I'm not being a gatekeeper here, it is just the fact remains as I have already said once upon a time this Mid-Card Championship meant something and it had this glorious prestige to it, where in these two individuals interview segments everyone involved just really does sell the importance of what this championship means and not forgetting the end of the longest reign in its history even to this day which stand at 454 days, which by today's standards in 2021 is all but a distant memory and one final thing in The Warriors' interview segment yes you get a small promo which makes some sense, but if you know anything about his promo style you cannot question his enthusiasm, but then again they are of a legendary status for being nonsensical; in one way or another, meaning sometimes from an English standpoint it made sense or it was just the content made no sense or from beginning to end the entire promo is the intelligence of a madman.

Comments: I don't have too much to say about this match, because it is a solidly good match, the Match Storyline/slot was and is designed to put over both participants in this way; where on another day the other participant could have won, but today wasn't his day.

Basic Result: Big Boss Man [with "The Doctor of Style" Slick] picks up the W.
