Hardy actually won the final match of the Terri Invitational Tournament for his team, which gave us the hilarious image of him falling off the ladder with the moneybag and flailing as he fell lmao And he also beat Edge earlier in 2009
Even though Babyface Rock VS Heel Triple H is generally the preferred formula Triple H in 98 was pretty over as a face against The Rock That ladder match was pretty epic
Just started watching. I think I know what #1 will be. Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It was a spectacular wrestling match.
The road to that match between Honkytonk Man and Ultimate Warrior started months earlier when Vince wanted Honkytonk to drop the IC title to Randy Savage. Honkytonk used Hogan's "that doesn't work for me, brother" card and wouldn't do the job. The company pivoted to Randy winning the then WWF Championship instead and slotted Brutus Beefcake into the IC title picture. Then the Ron Bass thing happened which opened the door for Warrior.
Brock vs Angle from Summerslam 2003 is also a banger of a match, definitely wish we could see what would've happened if Kurt had retained at Mania 19 and went into SS as champion instead.
My Nan got Sky in the Summer of 92 so Summerslam 92 was the first PPV I ever watched (a neighbour lent me Mania 8 on tape just after.) Stopped watching again in about 95 maybe when things went to shit but for a decade or two I remembered Bret vs Bulldog as the greatest thing ever. When I got back into watching, I still remembered it fondly but for a while I just assumed it was 'cause it was Bulldog and it was Wembley and I was a little 11 yr old brit. Then I went back and watched it as an adult and discovered it's still one of the greatest matches I've ever seen.
Christian vs Randy Orton at Summerslam 2011 was insane too, was there live. Randy getting the insane win with the RKO into the stairs from a jumping Christian,
Fun fact: John Cena is the first of only 2 wrestlers to lose the same major title in back to back years at Summerslam (‘13-‘14). The other being Brock Lesnar (‘18-‘19)
Here's the overall fun fact: John Cena's Summerslam losing streak of the 2010s after Summerslam 2010 was Cena competing in championship matches & he LOST all of them(2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015). Summerslam 2016 was the only non-title match in which John Cena competed & lost since Summerslam 2008.
@@daltonpinell6251 Indeed. This list would us all feel warm and fuzzy in our tum-tums. But it would only be possible with intervention from The Wizard in The Sky, up there in the clouds.
I don't think Jeff has one a TLC match, at least in WWE, but he has won quite a few ladder matches, especially when tagging with Matt like at Mania 33.
I definitely put Triple H above Austin as Rock's greatest rival. Around the same age, in the business nearly the same amount of time, Austin seemed more a rival out of circumstance for Rock than a natural rival. Rock and HHH just gave it a feel that these were the modern superpowers and the standard for people to achieve.

Honorable mentions: 1. Bret Hart defeating Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Championship (1991) 2. RKBro defeating A.J. Styles and Omos for the RAW Tag Team Championship (2021) 3. Ultimate Warrior defeating Ravishing Rick Rude for the Intercontinental Championship (1989)
Hart winning the IC belt at SummerSlam 1991 has always been my favorite SummerSlam title match. It's interesting that it's not featured in the list but acknowledged by a picture.
The first entry reminds me how insane it is that, if Gunther keeps the IC belt for a little while longer, HTM will become the SECOND longest reigning IC champion
Um, where’s Orton defeating Benoit for the title at Summerslam ‘04 to then become the youngest in history? Lead to his expulsion from Evolution, etc? Definitely deserves a top 10 spot
WWF Summerslam 1998: The Highway To Hell LIVE from Madison Square Garden. The culmination of the long rivalry between DX and The Nation. Triple H regains The World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship. The Rock became a "Tweener" by way of the crowd response.
Nah Rock vs. Triple H in their ladder match is an all-timer. One of the best ladder matches ever and didnt even have any huge spots...just 2 dudes beating the piss out of each other...using the ladder as a weapon here and there but just trying to go get the title. Its so fucking good.
Mizdow turning on The Miz in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal was one of the best moments of Wrestlemania 31. Certainly one of the most overlooked. Mizdow should have won the entire thing. it would have been a great conclusion to their story.
The Million Dollar title wasn't on the line at WrestleMania 7 . If it had been Virgil wouldve been the new champion because the Million Dollar title was an unofficial title so you could win it on a dq or count out . DiBiase was counted out during an altercation with Roddy Piper at ringside . At SummerSlam DiBiase thought he had the last laugh by making the match like any other title match giving him the championship advantage but after Sensational Sherri interfered in the match referee Earl Hebner had other ideas he ejected Sherri from ringside and let the match continue and after a mid ring collision Virgil was able to crawl over and put an arm over DiBiase for the win . Just for the record Cameron Grimes and Ted DiBiase Jr are also former Million Dollar champions .
thats what still bothered me on the whole montreal screwjob situation - why did they gave Bret the title at Summerslam? Either the financel situation got downhill so fast - but then again, why would you let your champion go? let him lose the title first....
Trash list without hart foundation-Demlition and hart-perfect. CM Punk is great but Jeff Hardy is a clown so you can leave that one off. Also warrio-rude from 89 should be on here
Brock Lesnar, the New Undisputed WWE & World Heavyweight Champion, thus retiring "The Big Gold Belt" of The World Heavyweight Championship. 2002 - 2014. And the End of "The Scratch Logo".
Although John Cena is my biggest fan but for a fact he had the worst SummerSlam record in his career including back to back losses in the lists,feel sorry for him,maybe he would turn the math around in his recent run,i have faith in him😟😟😳😳
What Brock did to Cena at Summerslam 2014 was something that fans argue that should've happened at Extreme Rules 2012 in Brock's first match back in WWE. Then again, if it did, there probably wouldn't have been the continuation of the feud between John Cena & CM Punk over the WWE championship; Cena probably wouldn't have won or competed in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match at Money In The Bank 2012; Cena wouldn't have feuded with Dolph Ziggler over Dolph's Money In The Bank briefcase or Cena pursuing & achieving his redemption at Wrestlemania 29 against The Rock. "Suplex City" would've won the chant of the year Slammy Award of 2012 at the WWE Slammy Awards instead of Ryback's "Feed Me More."
I'm not gonna lie I'm kinda tired about hearing about Summerslam 1992. Everyone gives TNA shit for victory road 2011 with Jeff Hardy but Summerslam 92 almost always gets a pass. It's bullshit. Should've never happened dude was high on cocaine and winning the title and it feels like loads of people don't care simply because it took place. This match is overrated af and it just feels like a lot of British commentators just avoid the glaring issues and smugly and very briefly mention it. I don't care if he could work a match, it shouldn't be going on he was impaired. Just kinda hypocritical if you ask me.
Jeff Hardy didn't make his WWF/WWE debut until 1994 you're thinking of British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith . Another thing British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith died in 2002 , 9 years before Victory Road .
@@robertclark2253 I was implying how people love to praise the bulldog match as a work of genius when it's clear that bulldog shouldn't have been in the ring. That wouldn't have happened today.
HBK VS RAZOR RAMON SUMMERSLAM '95, BRET HART VS UNDERTAKER SUMMERSLAM '98, SHANE MCMAHON VS STEVE BLACKMAN SUMMERSLAM 2000, TLC SUMMERSLAM 2000, RVD VS JEFF HARDY, ROCK VS BOOKER T SUMMERSLAM 2001AND CHYNA AND EDDIE GUERRERO VS VAL VENIS AND TRISH STRATUS FOR THE IC TITLE SUMMERSLAM 2000.
Imagine thinking anything CM Punk related is a bigger deal than Daniel Bryan's win over Cena, who was unbeatable as ever. I get it, you wanks have to put Davey boy up there because its literally all you have ever had, but Bryan over Cena curb stomps Punk/Jeff
