One of the most infamous bloopers in professional wrestling history took place at SummerSlam 1989. Backstage announcer Gene Okerlund was set to interview then-WWF Intercontinental ChampionRick Rude and Rude's manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan prior to Rude's title defense against The Ultimate Warrior when the Summerslam backdrop fell backwards. An off-camera Vince McMahon could be heard saying "Nice move", followed by Okerlund yelling "Fuck it". The cameras immediately cut away to a live shot of the crowd, with Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura immediately attempting to restore order. After a short while, Okerlund's interview with Rude and Heenan proceeded without incident.
* The Brain Busters defeated The Hart Foundation in a non-title match when Arn Anderson hit the middle-rope elbow drop on Bret Hart and covered him for the pinfall. (15:55)
* Jimmy Hart accidentally slammed Honky Tonk Man's own guitar over his head, thus allowing Dusty Rhodes to gain the advantage. Dusty Rhodes then hit the Bionic Elbow on The Honky Tonk man and won via pinfall. (9:39)
**Despite Jannetty not being the legal man in the match at the time, he was pinned. The legal man for the Rockers/Santana side at the time was actually Shawn Michales.
**Greg Valentine actually pinned Hercules during thier match by putting his feet on the ropes, but ring announcer Ronnie Garvin refused to give the match to Valentine and announced Hercules the winner, but Valentine won ultimately.
Prior to the Brain Busters/Hart Foundation match at SummerSlam, The Brain Busters won the Tag Team Championship a week before from Demolition. The match was already signed between them and the Hart Foundation before they won the belts, so it was explained in kayfabe that they were not forced to defend the belts because there was no championship to defend when the match was signed.
