SummerSlam Rewind: Ultimate Warrior's 31-second win
Tuesday 14 August 2018 07:41, UK
We look back to the dramatic moment Ultimate Warrior won the Intercontinental title at the first SummerSlam in 1988 - but don't blink, or you may miss it.
Honky Tonk Man had held the belt for 454 days going into the inaugural Slam at Madison Square Garden and perhaps had every right to feel confident.
"Bring me somebody out here to wrestle, I don't care who," he proclaimed as his manager Jimmy "the Mouth of the South" Hart prowled the ring, ever-present megaphone in hand.
But, in a classic example of why you should always be careful what you wish for, said opponent turned out to be none other than an enormously pumped-up Ultimate Warrior, who proceeded to dominate, destroy and dethrone the bequiffed one all in the space of 31 short SummerSlam seconds.
