Episode 341: WHW Double Feature - SummerSlam 1990 & 2001

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony is still basking in all the goodness of Canada, so we are giving our listeners a super special treat with a double dose of WHW Patreon madness!  On bonus episode number one from February 2019, Low Key Big Hog Joe Pierce of Palmyra, NJ, suggested the main event cage match from SummerSlam 1990 as the Ultimate Warrior met Rick Rude: "...
