Now. Let's get right back into the video All right I'm gonna set myself a little challenge because damn it's hard to write SummerSlam content sometimes apart from this one sentence I am challenging myself to write a SummerSlam list and not include the phrase the biggest party of the summer That is going to be said too much over the course of the next month And I am nothing if not a trend-setting trailblazer, so it's time once again for the biggest no God No God, please no no No, I'm Adam Hailing from the biggest body of the summer 10 greatest SummerSlam's of all time if you'd like to check out other a SummerSlam content We've already made a part of our two lists. We published last year the top 20 best and top 20 worst SummerSlam matches of all time number 10 1992. I know I know as a Royce new e-brick Apples and pears Mary Poppins, it's Tuesday in it and well, yes True honestly 92 isn't Really that good overall in fact it's a bit of a mess It just happens to be a bit of a mess that has one of the greatest main events ever in front of an insanely hot crowd Like here's what was on offer a very shit taker versus Kamala match that went four minutes crush versus repo man That went six nails versus Virgil in an infamously terrible match and Rick Martell versus Shawn Michaels being pretty good before a Double Countout in eight minutes like there's a pair of decent tag matches on the card But without the two marquee matches sweet Reese's pieces This is the bag of where hair warrior versus savage was a whole bunch of fun running nearly half an hour with flair and perfect shenanigans of plenty Constantly teasing a heel turn from one of the company's two top guys Even if it did end in a bit of a cop-out and then there's Bulldog versus heart one of the most highly acclaimed Matches of all time one the biggest pops of all time like this one match alone is enough to make 92 a Milestone event even if not a consistently entertaining one number nine Speaking of shows saved by the main event actually that's not fair They're like for good to great matches on this card, which would have ranked it higher We're not for the presence of Kane versus the great Carly. No, thank you Why do Kane and Carly wrestle three? F***ing paper few matches in their career and then the absolutely cruel rug pull of Christian versus William Regal being hyped as a world title Matching going a measly eight seconds for reference Kane versus Carly went ten minutes I think the book has got their pages Otherwise nothing f***ing makes sense about that. There's a lot to love on this card though Mysterio versus Ziggler and one of the great pay-per-view openers and all-time best Intercontinental title matches the old man version of 2006 old man version of DX facing Legacy was surprisingly great with the fans having the time of their lives is de geriatric X rode in on a f***ing tank Well, Rusev was still a twinkle in Mother Rush's eye John Cena versus Randy Orton was in overbook load of old WWE style bollocks But I actually kind of think it's camp fun if you're forgiving to its three. Yes three restarts The main event is so awesome and wonderful to see punk and Hardy who had the feud of the year go on last A big four pay-per-view in a barnstorm dad was a fun man. Oh my god And also look is the undertaker. Yeah, too big lad You tell it you you teleported Jeff Hardy away and appeared in his place. Yeah, you did with Seth Rollins Yeah tinker number 8003 and that was Undertaker's superpowers shenanigans turn the last two entries on their head a show that was good Despite its main event actually that's not fair if Goldberg just won this match instead of triple H activating hammer time and using a bad dick To f*** with Bill's momentum the chamber match and likely the whole show might been seen as one of the great There's a ton of fun matches on the card shame at man versus Eric Bisch off his total nonsense But the crowd love seeing Austin have some fun the fatal four way for the US title saw Guerrero versus Benoit versus Tijiri versus Rhino, that's not too shabby Kane and RVD had a fun match and best of all Kurt Angle wrestling Brock Lesnar For over 20 minutes. I do not mind if I do also it directly led to the iron man match between Lesnar and Angle Which I like I'm famous for liking it. So yeah, all things being considered Let's talk about the main event a stacked chamber line up H that that elimination chamber was tough In this state They definitely should have pulled the trigger have Goldberg winning. They should have pulled the trigger, but they didn't They definitely didn't once again y'all. I don't hate Goldberg Definitely liked his initial run in WWE. It's just I didn't like how they booked them because he should have been the guy He should have been the guy to beat Triple H BK Y2J Orton Triple H Goldberg and also Kevin Nash No, look at you. You go girl before Goldberg murders every one of them in Sensational fashion pins three before suddenly having Triple H pull his controller out the machine in a half and hitting with a hammer And retaining his title despite doing very little to sad end What was otherwise a super fun night number seven two thousand and eight talk about an underrated summer slam looking back at the card It's not a show that screams classic But there's a whole lot of fun here punk gets pretty much his only good night during his first world heavyweight title run triple H Somehow scratches and claws are half decent He did have a match with the great Carly Batista and Cena are probably their best match together although that depends on your tolerance for both lads There is a bunch of filler here MVP versus Jeff Hardy was good Glamorella versus Kofi and Mickey was all right comedy and Matt Hardy versus Mark Keny was yet another nail in the coffin of ECW title matches on WWE pay-per-view selling this one go a minute Fucking out Okay, but there's no way that summer slam 2008 would make the list without two major positives that Wonderful Shawn Michaels fake retirement segment ends with Jericho clocking Mrs. BK for real real like a bad boy And that main event match of edge versus take a going dick first balls last in a Hell in a Cell match that ends in edge Being sent to actual That's it was crazy. He definitely sent him to the gulags of hell It was very stupid with Vicky Greer essentially hiring the undertaker to kill her boyfriend Yeah, and the match went hard with Ed eating a ton of shit in some truly horrendous spots And then yes as aforementioned dying in actual hell the show is not full of bright spots But those bright spots burn blindingly number six 1998. We're on the highway to hell WWE show at Madison Square Garden WWE don't go home nearly enough But when they do it's almost always a good show mania's 10 and 20 Survivor Series 0 to the Rumble away such a joy to see WWE's hometown crowds show up and lend their voice to elevate a pay-per-view in some Sam 98 is no exception It would still be a few months before WWE Officially rebranded to form the attitude here But everything that people love about it is present and correct here solid mid-card action with the hair versus hair match Featuring two of the best mid-card workers of all the new generation in Jara next pack a surprisingly good lion's den match between Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock where no one can tell that the match is really silly The star of the future in the rock triple H having a stormer of a ladder match a ladder match that felt differently violent to the rubber acrobatics of the HPK matches as well a Great storyline tag match pitting the outlaws versus a partnerless mankind and as blockbuster and main event is WWE had on its books I'm pretty silly ministry taker versus established face of the company and pretty much face of pro wrestling at that point Steve Austin one or two Definitely, man. It's so crazy looking back on it bro and how They had the pieces to literally just take the world by storm, bro They had the talent. They had the the the fans behind them like Wrestling back then in the 90s. It just was different, bro. I wish some of you guys some of our younger Subscribers could have witnessed that live like people actually Like we're excited It wouldn't just like how it is now people are excited about wrestling, but it's more It's more of the minority you make hits some casuals who are you know, they get really excited It was it was to talk of the town either you was talking about sports or you was talking about wrestling. That's really what it was Talk about politics and shit here and there, but it was Sports and wrestling Deadass that's really what it was Who bad spots here the oddities tag matches exactly that But otherwise, this is a show that really delivers on all the elements that made WWE so hot in the late 90s number five 2014 I will keep banging the drum Might just have been WWE's best single calendar year since 2000 in terms of stories and talent and I do not care if you agree or not WWE had a pitch perfect midcard feud on its hands in the violent break-up of the shield and by the end of The show a big boss at the top of the card I just did a reaction on this video of John Cena Getting fucking eviscerated by Brock Lesnar. What that was a good that was a that was a good pay-per-view man Enjoyable Summer Slam WWE have only read the most part to recreate once in heel Roman Reigns Honestly, one most will remember this as a two-match show the amazing lumberjack match and the shocking main event There's nothing really bad on the card at all Ziggler Miz was good Rusev got in a strong win during his unstoppable run Wyatt Jericho saw break at a much needed W Stephanie versus Brie Bella was better than anyone thought it should be even Reigns Alton was good But yeah, that main event though Trucking the man who would not and could not be trucked defeating Superman in convincing fashion A giant shot of adrenaline in WWE's hierarchy and even made ending the streak at Mania 30 seemed like a good idea It's a great show number four great show 2013 I love this summer slam because it's probably the perfect hybrid of WWE style high drama and WWE finally doing things with the air quotes indie darlings It had on its roster the show is not perfect Bray Wyatt and Kaine's Inferno match was a bit of a letdown Natalia and Brie Bella wasn't anything to write home about and Ziggler and Caitlyn beating Biggie and AJ Lee isn't exactly a Consolation prize from having the world title kick straight out of his hands by Alberto Wanker for everything else capital letters rules del Rio and Christian are top-notch workers and have a fab title match Cody Rhodes versus Damien standout was a fun fallout match Cody with the mustache in the bank and honestly punk versus Lesnar might be Brock's best Actual that she was fine dad. That was a fun match boy. That was a fun match proper wrestling match of his second WWE run which is a high bar and of course Daniel Bryan beating John Cena fucking Man, bro, I watched that live. I marked out. I marked out cuz like holy shit They did it. He actually won and Then probably one of the coolest swerves up there with the Seth Rollins heel turn on the shield Triple H pedigrees him Randy comes out and Gets to pin cuz Randy Orton was the money in the big one here pins in one two three when I say I went from a high an all-time high To a low, but I was just defeated. I was just like You mother fuck you month, bro. I was so hurt, but it was so good. That shit was so good Clean as you like with his debuting bersaiko knee before walking straight into his own red wedding Paula Vex sends his regards A hop class example. That was one of two WWE can still break your heart in the good way That was good run a little long, but it started beautifully. It's this was the moment The yes movement got even more stronger. This was the moment To his his future WrestleMania main event Even though backstage, I don't think they planned on having him be the main event But this was the moment it really started because now people was like, all right You're pissing us off and that was good. That was good and even though once again CM Punk leaving kind of changed everything for them, but This was the catalyst where it was like we want to see this guy win Y'all gonna make we want him as the champion, bro. We had a little glimpse of it We need this as a champion number three 2000 it was tough to decide between my top three So I've just put them in chronological order cuz that's as good as order as any when their shows are as balling as these 2000 was the year where WWE settled into its best creative group Russo was gone and took all his bat tangent stuff Schizophrenic nonsense to poison Instead as his sort of replacement Chris Kreske was specializing in good soap opera silliness but told with simple Comprehensive steps the main event scene was rock-solid pun very much intended and the mid card had been stuffed with the pick of WCW's Defecting super workers. So the wrestling was top bollocks as well Noir versus Jericho two out of three falls. Yes, please. I'll take third throw in Shane McMahon's first iconic jump Yeah TLC Good with a capital extra good and the main event first TLC match. Oh my god I can go back and watch that match and still just be like. Oh, this is great. This is fucking fantastic, man Then we saw one of WWE's best storylines of the year with a Kurt Triple H and Steph Love triangle boiling over in grand fashion albeit a fashion that nearly killed Kurt Angle via a botched pedigree the fact that you finished that match despite getting his Bell rung harder than the Campanology Olympics is further proof He's the best of all time a wonderful summer slam Even an underwhelming Kane taker match in the whole stink face match couldn't sully number two 2001 if it wasn't tainted by association with the invasion WWE creatively at least dropping the ball in the potentially biggest wrestling storyline of all time Yeah, they definitely have to bomb He's contender for best summer slam ever fucking brilliant lad RVD and Jeff Hardy's ladder matches Phenomenal Jericho versus Reiner was good X packing to Jerry was good edge versus Lance Storm is low-key one of the best summer slam Honestly, the only match you could consider bad It's a steel cage match between taker and Kane and DDP and Canyon not because fans didn't enjoy it far from it But just because it served as a Dispiriting very awful one of WCW's most beloved top stars. Hey, look, don't think about that Think about the last two matches instead cause their mint the returning rock beating Booker T to win the WCW Yep to much rejoicing and especially if I Specially Steve Austin for the WWF title one of my favorite wrestlers best very good Emerging as a cherished baby face proudly carrying the flag for the Fed and taking Austin to his limit over 20 marvelous minutes It might be one of the only world title matches That's actually helped by being a DQ finish rather than hurt by Austin losing his damn mind of being unable to put my Olympic hero way choosing to murder every Until someone realized that actually it might be best if not every Finally stopped the thing it was a glorious match and a really good show throughout with WWE Somehow white-hot attitude era fan base and number one 2002 I mean yeah summer slam 2002 is the best summer slam by a country mile All the matches you remember as being good are better than you remember and the matches you can't remember of course You know dub would not dub. This is the moment dub Did not care for Brock when Brock beat Dub I mean when I said Brock me Dub when Brock beat Roman Reigns. I'm tripping when Hope I'm not predicting the future when Brock beat the rock and summer slam. This is the moment Dub was like nah I'm good on him Dub not realizing like, you know the rock Doing how he was going to Hollywood that was that was gonna be his thing Brock was the next big thing. No pun intended Dub was like nah fuck that This is this is the infamous moment right here are almost as good as those here's just a little list for you angle Mysterio aka the best opening match to a pay-per-view Maybe ever flair Jericho edge Guerrero van Damme Benoit the main event of Brock rock was a Wonderfully weird match where the crowd slow turned the rock heel the un-Americans all over the show and even though the matches weren't five stars They got them some good heat on them because it's no bastard worse than a Canadian bastard and finally Sean Michaels versus triple H which belongs on the podium for top three summer slam match. Oh, yeah This match here, too. Oh my god. This is so good a wonderfully inventive and brutal slob Oh, that's so fun out heartfelt joy that not only could HBK still go But somehow he seemed to be even better Before he left summer slam 2002 truly was the biggest party of the soul and that's our list Hey, man, this this this was a dope list. This brings me back It's definitely gonna make me want to watch some of you summer slam matches later on This week as well, actually, I think we're gonna check out the HBK and Triple H match they had a summer slam, you know, since the summer slam week And I think we're gonna check that out on patreon the whole match So make sure you subscribe to an intercoach patreon that way you can see our reaction to that I don't think dub has ever seen that match. So I think that's gonna be pretty cool. But yeah, man I just miss when the shows like these summer slam events these paper views They were they're always supposed to feel like WrestleMania in the summer and I really do You know appreciate when they're you know, they're built up that way last year some of them was actually not that bad It was it was actually for them. There were some some stuff I wasn't the biggest fan of of course the Bianca Bella stuff. I didn't really like but for the most part It was okay. I think a lot of people were really hyped for the John Cena and Roman Reigns match a lot of We're super hyped for that and that felt like a summer slam match this time Brock versus Roman Now it's the last man standing match Vince McMahon is not head of creative. Who knows what they do. I don't know we will see man But yeah, this this is uh This is one of those type of things where it's like, I don't know summer slam this year It doesn't have a bad card from what's been built, but I don't know if the hype is I think the hype is more There because of the behind-the-scenes things on what's been going on with WWE with Vince McMahon and everything else I think that's where more the hype is come from than the actual pay-per-view itself But who knows it could be a good show could be a good showing this year So comment down below. Let me know. What's your favorite summer slam? Pay-per-view or like, you know favorite summer slam pay-per-view or favorite summer slam match Let me know down below, but I appreciate all of love and support Row two 90k appreciate you.
