Undertaker vs. Undertaker! Leslie Nielsen! WWE Summerslam 1994 Review

[@capndayafterday]

Leslie Nielsen was a weird addition to an Undertaker match/promo. But, hell, even if it was out of place, like a pizza in a public restroom, it still made me chuckle and I liked it.

[@ianfeuerhake1859]

It was the same year the final Naked Gun movie came out, and OJ’s troubles were just beginning, so it made sense in WWF land. Prichard said on his podcast how Neilson was great to work with, and asked to include George Kennedy for a payday since he was going through a rough time.

Brett and Owen for me is one of the best rivalries of all time. It never had the length of others, but every match was quality and all the story telling around it was top notch.

[@mattm7798]

True, but Owen never had the charisma Bret did. He could do flashier moves and was just a good a worker as bret, but his promos were awful and he just didn't connect on the same level bret did. He had two opportunities to rise to the next level: this feud with Bret and his return after Montreal. The first was his fault. The second was not. Had Owen not died the way he did, I think he would have been looked at similar to Lance storm: a great worker and nice guy.

[@steve5by5]

@@mattm7798 I think Lance Storm is amazing but I believe Owen would have gone on to hold multiple World Titles. I don't compare anyone to Brett as Brett is the greatest of all time in my eyes but there's plenty of people Owen was better all round than that went on to win world titles. That connection would have eventually happened if Owen went full heel as thats when he was at his best.

[@DCLocal84]

There program throughout '94 is really phenomenal. I love how drawn out it is. Starting back at the '93 Survivor Series and culminating at the '94 Survivor Series. If I have one issue with it, it is this: the Survivor Series match should have been #3 between Bret and Owen... and I don't think it would have hurt anything to give the belt to Owen. It may be lost on fans who largely knew Owen during the Attitude Era, but in '94, he was every bit a believable championship contender. I sometimes dream on the idea of him holding the belt to Mania, screwing his brother at the Rumble to ensure he didn't have to face him, while providing a quality coronation to Deisel (imagine how good Owen would have made Deisel look) at WMX, maybe even w/ light interference from Brett, and an eventual blowoff between the 2 brothers, maybe at the first In Your House PPV to give the new PPV credibility. Oh well. It was still an awesome, well built storyline.

Bull Nakano is just so damn cool. Owen v Bret is always priceless and this finish was fantastic but I still wish it were a proper fight to the finish blowoff with no escape option. Undertaker striking his pose at the curtain with the backlight is iconic. Also, I always found it hilarious that the new generation featured King Kong friggin Bundy.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

Bull Nakano is just freaking awesome and underrated. She was a better wrestler than a good chunk of the men on the roster at the time. Bret vs. Owen is a fantastic match but you're right. The stipulation doesn't make sense for Bret at all. Owen, well, yeah, he's a chicken s*** in character but Bret should definitely not want to escape. King Kong Bundy is just more proof of WWF's hypocrisy, pushing 'the new generation' but like with Bundy, IRS, Piper, Jake the Snake and the British Bulldog, they're very willing to give significant screen time and pushes to the same type of people they were mocking. The Undertaker thing is phenomenal... until the match starts. And arguably what should have happened is New Gen Taker should have totally demolished Underfaker in seconds. The angle was potentially interesting but two Frankenstein like wrestlers, where the ending is a fait accompli, and one isn't yet a fully proven commodity, was not a great main event.

[@vampman87]

I'm a big fan of Bull Nakano. I've seen her matches in Japan during the late 80s, and she was one of the most brutal lady wrestlers I ever watched. Her matches against Alundra, while a step down from her Joshi days, were still really fun to watch and seemed to serve as a layout for today's modern women's wrestling because Bull and Alundra didn't act sexy, they just threw down and beat the stuffings out of each other. I've always wondered what would've happened if Bull hadn't torpedoed her WWE career by getting arrested with cocaine in her car. Maybe WWE wouldn't have scrapped the women's division and reduced the women on the show as valets who occasionally had cat fights. (Chyna, obviously, being the only exception)

It proves that wrestling crowds were always ready for female wrestling to be taken seriously since decades ago, and if they had actually tried to do something with it at this point there could have been some great things done. Instead women’s wrestling in America completely reverted to seeing them as nothing but jokes and sex objects just a few years later, and that’s how it would remain for two decades after that. WWE tried to promote its women’s revolution as something new and progressive for their female talent, while ignoring that it was them who deliberately suppressed all of woman’s wrestling in America because the few perverted men at the top just couldn’t see them as anything but sex objects. I’m not criticizing WWE for going through with relegitimatizing women’s wrestling eventually, of course, their women’s division is probably the best in America today- but it’s still a little sickening to know how different it could’ve been.

What a weird PPV. The Nielsen/Kennedy stuff is actually also weird if you're a fan of the Police Squad/Naked Gun franchise, because it's probably the only time they play those characters clean, AKA kid-friendly without the green stuff that Naked Gun was actually famous for. I guess it's partly why they're referred by their real names instead of their character names. If you didn't know, Nielsen took this job and then belatedly tagged George along. He told Vince he was willing to split his pay with George, but begged to keep him because he was out of work and needed the money.

When I was a kid, Undertaker vs Undertaker is what got me hooked on wrestling again after not watching it for about a year.

[@kdizzle901]

It’s a horrible match and gimmick

[@FlyBoyEnterprises]

Alundra and Bull Nakano had really great chemistry in Japan and putbon classics The WWF matches are watered down. As for Nuckekball, it was also a statement that the WWF NEVER goes on strike. Undertaker v Undertaker should have have gone a few more months. It's underrated and underappreciated. Truly a 5 star match & match of the night.

Now that you mention the whole reasoning behind Shawn & Diesel being tag champs, it just dawned on me that aside from the few days between Survivor Series & the MSG house show where Diesel beat Backlund, Kevin Nash was a champion of some kind consistently for about a year and a half from April 94 till Survivor Series in November 95. Very interesting Stat.

I remember "Watching" this show with my grandfather with only the audio and the screen scrambled and staticky. It has a special place in my heart regardless of how bad it is.

[@deanbecenti9769]

I love it how your intro sounds like a G Funk beat

[@simon9835]

This holds a special place in my heart. Being a wee lad at the time, I remember watching it on sky sports in the UK. They had adverts as weren't showing PPVS live back then. They would put little captions as they went to break. I still remember to this day the caption after the steel cage match said, "Brets alright, but Owens a loser". Made me laugh as a kid. I also loved the return of the Undertaker. He was my favourite wrestler and when I saw him adopt purple in his gear, I was so happy as that's my favourite colour! 🤣 I was easily pleased as a child! 🤣

[@DJCloroxx]

They missed a chance to refer to Tatanka as the Cheif (executive officer) of the Corporation.

[@cocopuffgames]

Cheesy as it was, 8 year old me was on the lookout for the Undertaker every day at recess after those kids saw him slide down the slide.

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

Awesome video. I loved that lil Kevin Nealon reference. Buffalo...I dunno. To me it was, lol.

Taker vs Taker is basically the spider man meme in live action

[@jackcarraway4707]

Throughout wrestling history, there have been examples of the main event not involving the world title working out. Bret/Bulldog at SS92 and Taker/HBK at WM26 are prime examples. Taker vs. Faker is not one of those examples.

[@Don-Loves-Vladdy]

I agree but tbh that SS92 was at Wembley Stadium. Just having Davey Boy in the main event was going to blow the “roof” off, so to speak (it’s a stadium)

[@jackcarraway4707]

@@Don-Loves-Vladdy Plus there's an interesting story to tell since Bret and Davey are now brother-in-laws. Definitely interesting enough to fork over $40. But Undertaker vs. a fake version of himself with Leslie Nielsen somehow involved doing comedy skits...how does THAT take precedence over Bret/Owen in a white hot feud blowing it off in a cage?

[@Don-Loves-Vladdy]

@@jackcarraway4707 can’t argue with that logic, Jack. I’d like to throw in one of my personal favorite non title ppv main events and say Bret v BamBam at King of The Ring 93. After the absolute gem Bret and Curt put on in the semi’s, I didn’t expect them to really be able to follow with much to compare. I was wrong!

[@JacobinCad]

17:10 so, was Neidhart drunk here or was he perhaps still suffering from trying of relive the Summerslam ‘92 tour days with Davey Boy the night before? 👀

[@twkreviews6683]

The Undertaker vs Undertaker match was my first exposure to old school Taker back in the early 2000s via the DVD version of the "He Buries Them Alive" DVD so despite its shortcomings, this match will always have a special place in my heart.

[@Kaltagstar96]

Bull was awesome and it really says something when she and Blayze don't have much time to work with and still put on one of the matches of the night. Also really cool to hear Jeff Jarrett praise, if you ignore any time he's given a main event push, Jarrett is so damn good in almost everything he does.

[@mattm7798]

He was def a solid upper mid card heel. Right in that IC belt level and you could argue deserved a short reign as WCW champion, but not 52 time TNA champion and all that. Problem is he was also just a decent worker. I could hold up his end like the Shawn Michaels match, but I'm not sure he could elevate anyone to higher level. He seems like a nice guy in real life.

[@Kaltagstar96]

@@mattm7798 Honestly, I think of Jarrett is being a perfect dude for a US or IC title, like a mid card to upper midcard dependable heel that can make pretty much anyone look good. I think if he didn't have his main event run, people might look on him more favourably.

[@davidfrederick1971]

Owen vs Bret in the Blue Steel Cage, DEFINITELY in the ALL TOP 10 Greatest Cage Matches in WWF History!

[@kidneystonermusic]

The build for Mabel and Jarrett was amazing

[@tthomaselli2]

How did they get The Undertaker's arm tattoos on Brian Lee, exactly?... It literally looks like they were drawn on, or, something like that...

[@dspsblyuth]

Probably just one of their artists copying it. It will only be seen from some distance so it didn’t have to be exact

[@nWohollywood45]

Not gonna lie, the Undertaker vs Undertaker match had 5 year old me glued to the tv back then lol. I miss those innocent fanboy days.
