Tonight's episode of WWF Prime Time is dedicated to recapping the events of SummerSlam. Major stories shown tonight include. Rick Rude and Bobby Heenan are announced to have departed the WWF in protest to the outcome of the SummerSlam main event. Monsoon questions the status of the rest of the Heenan Family but Ventura says Heenan told him a plan was in place and it will become apparent in the coming weeks. Terry Funk, covered in bandages from his Texas Death Match, says he put that mangy, yellow dog Rhodes down for good and now he can focus on "rescuing the WWF Championship from that face painted freaks how and get it around the waist of a real wrestler!" Hacksaw dedicated his IC title win to all red blooded Americans. HOOOOOOOOOO! The Ronin give a promo that is accompanied by subtitles. They say that the WWF is where the best in the world come to prove themselves and they aim to prove that no their country produces warriors like Japan. One Man Gang and Slick say they sent Bad news Brown back to the gutter where Slick found him.

The native talent really shone here. I'm sure the Japanese fans at hone would love to see Silva up close. Credit to Ruas for trying to calm the crowd down after that close loss.

Doom looks great this week taking out both Davey Boy & Jannetty. Luger is trusting Kama to take out Steamboat but it seems he needs to keep an eye on Sid! Sting & Nikita one more time with the Russian Chain and the winner is undisputed #1 contender. Perfect.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter – WWF News and Rumors In the wake of the recent SummerSlam event, the World Wrestling Federation is cementing itself as a true leader among the stacked American pro wrestling scene. SummerSlam already secured the second largest gate for the company this year -coming in only behind Wrestlemania- and is the most viewed PPV in the lattar half of 1990 so far. Here's what we know so far on how the Fed intends for the rest of the year. One major shakeup is the announcement that Rick Rude & Bobby Heenan have departed the company with the steel cage main event at SummerSlam being the last appearance for both men. Reports indicate the parting to be an amicable one with Rude and Heenan both feeling they have accomplished all they can in Stanford and are in search of newer pastures. The Ultimate Warrior remains at the top of the WWF mountain following his defeat of Rude. WWF management is said to be pleased with Warrior's run as champion so far with him proving to be a consistent draw in the WWF's touring era. Both Vader and Terry Funk reportedly being lined up as future challengers. Funk, who defeated Dusty Rhodes in a hellish Texas Death Match at SummerSlam, is "essentially locked in" to challenge Warrior at the next SNME. Speaking of Rhodes, his neck injury reported on the recent episode of Prime Time is confirmed to be kayfabe with Rhodes sent for a tour of Japan that is believed to be part of the WWF's attempt to build inroads in the region. Related to the above, the WWF is reportedly looking to expand its global outreach in the latter half of this year if not the first half of 91. Vince McMahon has reportedly been keeping a keen eye on the AWA's trips aboard for TV specials/super shows and is keen on living up to the World part of World Wrestling Federation.
