Alrighty, we are several weeks away from what typical is the best wrestling pay per view of the year. Wrestlemania is more for the show and big name matches, Summerslam typically has the best wrestling matches of the year, without the sizzle.
Same as the July Pay per view threads, figure we would look back at what has been a pretty decent pay per view throughout the years. Quick recap of the big 3 matches of the night on each pay per view.
Summerslam 2000:
WWF Championship Match: The Rock vs. Triple H vs. Kurt Angle
The Undertaker vs. Kane
TLC for the WWF World Tag Team championship: The Dudley Boyz vs. the Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian.
Summerslam 2001:
WCW Championship Match: The Rock vs. Booker T.
WWF Championship Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle
WWF Hardcore Championship Ladder Match: Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Hardy
Summerslam 2002:
WWF Undisputed Championship: The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
Summerslam 2003:
World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber: Triple H vs. Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kevin Nash
WWE Championship: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar
US Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit vs. Tajiri vs. Rhyno
Summerslam 2004:
WHC: Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton
WWE Championship: JBL vs. the Undertaker
Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero
Summerslam 2005:
Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan
Ladder Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero
Edge vs. Matt Hardy
Summerslam 2006:
WWE Championship: Edge vs. John Cena
D-X vs. the McMahons
Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Orton
Summerslam is typically a fucking stacked card, and my personal favorite pay per view of the year. I will be getting the anthology, if, and only if, Chris Benoit is not edited out, which is just a ridiculous idea that they are even contemplating that.
Vote and give reasons.
