Gene runs down the card to start

A look at Bobby Heenan training Rick Rude on the beach. Good intensity from Rick here

Rude and Heenan cut a go home promo from behind the bars of the steel cage

WWF Champion Ultimate Warrior/Wilson responds in kind. Hi-di-ho, neighbor

We take a look at the Brother Love Show on the day when Earthquake put Hulk Hogan out of action/on vacation. Her, everyone needs a break once in a while, and Hulk doesn’t look like he eats a lot of Kit Kats. Though, he should, they’re good

On Saturday Night’s Main Event in July, Hulk is out to do an in-ring interview, but Earthquake attacks him again. Luckily, Tugboat is around this time, so Hulk doesn’t need another break. Tugboat’s eating all the Kit Kats anyway, probably 

Last week on Superstars, Earthquake and Dino Bravo jump Tugboat, taking him out so he can’t back Hogan at SummerSlam. Kit motherfucking Kat. Hulk can’t be bothered to make the save for him, though, but luckily Big Boss Man does - though only after the damage is done

Earthquake and Dino gloat about putting Tugboat out, and Hogan is next

On the last Brother Love Show, guest Hogan revealed Boss Man as his cornerman to replace Tugboat. Careful, Hulk. He looks like he likes Kit Kats, too

On SummerSlam Fever, WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition beat Jim Neidhart down

Demolition wish they were able to take Bret Hart out too, but they’ll rectify that tonight

On Superstars, Kerry Von Erich showed up, challenging Mr. Perfect for a WWF Intercontinental title match

Mr. Perfect promises a perfect title defense at SummerSlam. Yeah, he wouldn’t have the best of luck with that at these SummerSlam shows, would he?

Kerry Von Erich is going to blow Perfect. Away

On Wrestling Challenge, Bad News Brown demonstrates what his sewer rats can do. Whoever booked this whole sewer rat deal was obviously a big Jaws fan

Jake Roberts has not fear of said shark rats

Randy Savage and Sensational Sherri are ready to rid the WWF of Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire 

Dusty Rhodes is not ready to be gotten rid of, though Sapphire is ‘too busy’ to appear with him

Gene runs down the card again

BUExperience: This was a pretty good version of these countdown shows. They’re all about the same, but some are better than others, and this is one of those.
