Your Favorite SummerSlam Matches

You can also discuss about the Shawn Michaels versus Triple H bout back from SummerSlam of 2002 in an Unsanctioned Street Fight. This is where Shawn came back and wanted to face his best friend in Hunter in this match. This match had a very fascinating storytelling to it, well done by Hunter on that part. We've never knew which Shawn Michaels we're getting and this is the Shawn Michaels that delivered in this all out intense match here. This is also where Shawn took a brutal sledgehammer to the back! Bah Gawd! Great stuff and just a intense brutal match as well!

the matches i can remember are owen hart vs bret hart cage match for the wwf title from SS 94,rock-HHH ladder match from SS 98,dudley boyz vs hardys vs edge & christian 3 way tlc match from SS 2000,taker vs edge HITC from SS 08,punk vs jeff hardy & rey mysterio vs mr. ziggles (dolph ziggler) IC title from SS 09

I really liked the Hart Foundation vs Brainbusters match at SummerSlam 1989. That was a hell of a tag match.


From 1990, the Rude-Warrior cage match was pretty good.

Of course at the 1991 SummerSlam you have Bret vs Mr Perfect and in 1992 Bret vs Bulldog. 1994 had the great cage match of Bret vs Owen.

Looks like Bret really had some of his best matches at Summerslam.

As always, Sean, keep up the great work with Beyond The Bell. Loving every moment of it and your cheesy... "And let's go... BEYOND THE BELL!" line and your "Buckle up... because it's GO TIME!" line, hehe.

You can discuss about the Eddie Guerrero versus Rey Mysterio bout back from SummerSlam of 2005 in a Ladder Match for the custody of Rey Mysterio's son Dominick. They had an interesting rivalry dated back to WrestleMania 21 and they finished it off on this event with a bang with a happy ending too. It was an excellent match with some amazing emotion and a lot to be put on the line also. Good stuff.

Here's my personal top 3 of Summerslam matches (in no particular order) :

- The Ultimate Warrior vs. The Honky Tonk Man (1988) : short match, to say the least, but a great way to end Honky's title run. The twelve year-old that I was couldn't stand that HTM would always find a way to keep his title, and I remember marking like crazy when the Warrior's music hit. Just for the memories, this "match" has to be on this list.

- HHH vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle (2000) : I love the dynamics in this match and thought the storytelling was great. And the fact that Angle finished the match with a concussion is telling enough.

- Mr Perfect vs Bret Hart (1991) : Summerslam 91 is most remembered for the Marriage made in Heaven, and rightfully so. But when Perfect and Bret were in the ring, magic happened. A wrestling classic on a sports-entertainment heavy card, and in my opinion, one of their best encounters.

Cheers Sean, and keep up the good work. I love the show !
