That's a very good list, but I would've added the following matches/moments too: - 2008 - Undertaker vs. Edge's HIAC match to climax one of the best modern feuds ever - 2013 - Lesnar vs. CM Punk - 2016 - Not the match, but the shock of Lesnar busting open Orton bad - 2016 - AJ Styles beating John Cena clean in a classic
Actually a great idea ! FIrst they gotta get the go-ahead from The Higher Power himself VINCENT KENNEDY (KENNEDY) MCMAHON! Im sure he wont mind since hes in business with NJPW.
Definetly Benoit, Taz, angle and the Steiner brothers did it first, but current godzilla breath in human form Brock Lesnar killed the "super Cena" gimmick with it, so there´s that.
Orton winning the World heavyweight championship should definitely be Top 5. The cash in on Daniel Bryan is no way in hell more memorable than that win.
The first TLC match was probably the biggest game changer in WWE history. Shawn Michaels 2002 return was spectacular, over 4 years away and he pulled that off, Legend.
One thing I have always noticed about Summerslam is the amount of bizarre moments finishes the show has been known for like Undertaker vs. Lesner in 2015,Undertaker vs. Undertaker,Lex Luger winning by count out and having a big celebration despite not winning the title, Ultimate Warrior holding out on the main event for more $$$,The most powerful referee of all time Jesse Ventura. Maybe in the future you can do the most shocking or bizarre moments as well.
Bret Harts battle with Mr. Perfect for the IC title in 91 was worthy of a mention, a passing of the torch and initiation into the singles ranks of one of the greatest of all time.
i’ve noticed pacitti does all the “better videos” ex. summerslam video above like it’s their A video (ppv) and someone like Sam does the less important B videos (ppv). anyone else??
It isn't that I do the "better" videos, it's more that Sam and Jack have a bigger interest in independent wrestling than I do so it makes sense for them to do that content. Adam
I will always applaud Shawn for that hogan match Edit: and I’ll also always applaud Shawn for his return match. It’s my favorite SummerSlam match of all time
Stone cold vs Owen Hart? Austin breking his neck is one of the biggest moments in WWE history. That injure would follow im for the rest of his carrer and shorten it too. I might be a homer on this because he is my all time favorite but I thinki this Should have been on here.
i was gonna buy tix to summerslam this year until they announced that AJ would be facing Samoa Joe. I watched AJ vs Joe in an amazing match at TNA sacrifice in 05.. damn near 14 years ago. i'll be damned if i spend money to watch them wrestle again in a match that wont be nearly as good.
Shane J Theyre also puttin them against each other purely because of their past in TNA like theres been almost no unique story to make it more special.
The objectively biggest moment didn't make your list. When HBK swung at Bret with a chair but hit Undertaker in 1997, it led very directly to: the formation of DX, the first Hell in a Cell match (which featured Kane debuting), the Montreal Screwjob, and the casket match where HBK injured his back and had to miss 4.5 years. It is, without any possible debate, the biggest moment in SummerSlam history. Also awesome was Bret referring to the event as "The Summerslam" in every promo leading up to it.
Just curious. Is cultaholic going back for Simon miller? Or is it a WWE type talent raid? Or is Simon the undertaker of the attitude era and pledged allegiance to whatculture and be their #1 general in the locker room during the Monday night wars?
Damnit, Pacitti, if you're gonna be smarky, at least be accurate. Lesnar didn't hit Cena with 16 German suplexes. It was 15 German suplexes and 1 snap vertical suplex.
IMPORTANT: Njpw spoils A and B block winners by showing graphic of them both immediately after loading the website. You guys should report on this, so many people are pissed off.
Wwe does amazing business , I cannot possibly be the only long time wrestling fan (30+ years ) that realizes VinnyMac is putting money in "Smarky " RUclips channels . Need evidence ? Go back just a few years and USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW WWWE HAS LITERALLY ALWAYS OPPERATED. These dudes are UK, obviously so is whatculture, and now here comes nxt uk. Easy to see the build , so easy I called it 4 years ago.
Another prediction : Reigns becomes a heyman guy at summerslam. Easy double turn and wwe gets ANOTHER reigns mania main event . Hell thats gonna be so good it could get AT LEAST 2 more of them for the big dog. Now believe that !
Clearly one was much better than the other. People still talk about that Bulldog and Bret match, Orton's first world title victory is only remembered for it's statistical relevance.
The only reason the statistic is mentioned and not the match is that he won the title from Benoit who was erased by the WWE; the match itself is a classic that deserves higher than an honorable mention
That's a very good list, but I would've added the following matches/moments too:
- 2008 - Undertaker vs. Edge's HIAC match to climax one of the best modern feuds ever
- 2013 - Lesnar vs. CM Punk
- 2016 - Not the match, but the shock of Lesnar busting open Orton bad
- 2016 - AJ Styles beating John Cena clean in a classic
Jericho punching HBK wife
1994 - Owen vs Bret and Undertaker returns
Yo, does anyone remember when Santino had a Honk-a-meter during his Intercontinental title reign?
Adrian M-D Yes
Only Simon Miller does
I prefer the honka-perfect-mounty-meter!
Was brilliant
Man, I was so hooked in watching the G1 that I forgot that Summerslam was this August...
# OuttaNoWhere I keep forgetting the date for it and matches it’s so boring
I can relate
How could u?!?!? Balor VS Corbin is gonna be the 10 star match of the century
Derpy Man Lol
Same
I was wondering if you could make a video about the top ten greatest matches in g1 history
Actually a great idea ! FIrst they gotta get the go-ahead from The Higher Power himself VINCENT KENNEDY (KENNEDY) MCMAHON! Im sure he wont mind since hes in business with NJPW.
Michaels vs Triple H at SummerSlam 02 was glorious
I would’ve included Jericho confronting Lesnar backstage in 2016 after the latter did his best Gallagher impression on Randy Orton’s melon.
I’ve always felt like Suplex City belonged to Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit 🤷🏾♂️
What about Taz?
He was called 'The Human Suplex Machine' after all.
James Hawke you can definitely put Tazz in the conversation
Brock is just the current mayor.
Flight Vendetta you would love Benoit vs Stone Cold from smackdown from may 2001
Definetly Benoit, Taz, angle and the Steiner brothers did it first, but current godzilla breath in human form Brock Lesnar killed the "super Cena" gimmick with it, so there´s that.
I'm more excited for Brooklyn 4.
Me too.
Orton winning the World heavyweight championship should definitely be Top 5. The cash in on Daniel Bryan is no way in hell more memorable than that win.
The first TLC match was probably the biggest game changer in WWE history.
Shawn Michaels 2002 return was spectacular, over 4 years away and he pulled that off, Legend.
Seth becoming WWE and US Champion should have been on here
Nice list, but the way Adam said Raleigh hurt me very very deeply.
Support Cultaholic!!!
Undertaker’s long-awaited return in 1994 should have made the list. His entrance with the fans going nuts was a huge moment.
I hope Fraser does a list soon.
Josh Allen the new guy that they’ve hired. He’s been doing a few news videos.
10-year old me had a ball in ye olde Wembley Stadium that day. What a pop, indeed.
that reaper shrug pose just made my day. thank you cultaholic and whichever of you plays overwatch
Michaels Hogan was one of the greatest matches of all time.
One thing I have always noticed about Summerslam is the amount of bizarre moments finishes the show has been known for like Undertaker vs. Lesner in 2015,Undertaker vs. Undertaker,Lex Luger winning by count out and having a big celebration despite not winning the title, Ultimate Warrior holding out on the main event for more $$$,The most powerful referee of all time Jesse Ventura.

Go Cultaholics!!
I miss the old Summerslam logo
3:44 Shane has paved a little of his way. He did big things solo outside of wrestling.
i’ve noticed pacitti does all the “better videos” ex. summerslam video above like it’s their A video (ppv) and someone like Sam does the less important B videos (ppv). anyone else??
It isn't that I do the "better" videos, it's more that Sam and Jack have a bigger interest in independent wrestling than I do so it makes sense for them to do that content. Adam
Cultaholic this is pretty cool
who tf is Sam?
Does not matter. Sam's videos are the best. He always has epic ass intros. That Andre video intro always gets me lol

It's the biggest EVENT of the summer for Christ's sake lads!
“Undisputed number one moment in SummerSlam history” - don’t think so mate
“World’s most famous football stadium” - don’t think so mate
I will always applaud Shawn for that hogan match
Edit: and I’ll also always applaud Shawn for his return match. It’s my favorite SummerSlam match of all time
Great vid guys 👍👍
Seth rollins for becoming the first and only united states and wwe champion
At the same time
The miz did it before him
"The biggest EVENT of the Summer"...
No party anymore...
Did anyone else smack themselves in the head, clap their hands, and point when Pacciti said "ups and downs"?

Hogan\Micheals was still really good. it felt like an oldschool Hogan match.
the British you tube channel ranked the British bulldog #1 I am sooooo shocked.
great video!
SO
Tanahashi vs Ibushi tomorrow night whose winning?
Rhys Dowd
Ibushi so they can build to Omega vs Ibushi at WK13
Stone cold vs Owen Hart? Austin breking his neck is one of the biggest moments in WWE history. That injure would follow im for the rest of his carrer and shorten it too. I might be a homer on this because he is my all time favorite but I thinki this Should have been on here.
If HBKs return wasn’t high up I would’ve been pissed
You should the same list but about the undertakers biggest summerslam moments
This years dose not feel as big, accept for SD matches
Theres almost no feuds that are long term
i was gonna buy tix to summerslam this year until they announced that AJ would be facing Samoa Joe. I watched AJ vs Joe in an amazing match at TNA sacrifice in 05.. damn near 14 years ago. i'll be damned if i spend money to watch them wrestle again in a match that wont be nearly as good.
Shane J Theyre also puttin them against each other purely because of their past in TNA like theres been almost no unique story to make it more special.
All raws matches are rematches we didnt really want
why Not alexa vs Ronda isn't.
Huh. I never realized SummerSlam debuted on the 29th. Only 5 years before I was born
Cultaholic Will Destroy WrestleTalk
The objectively biggest moment didn't make your list. When HBK swung at Bret with a chair but hit Undertaker in 1997, it led very directly to: the formation of DX, the first Hell in a Cell match (which featured Kane debuting), the Montreal Screwjob, and the casket match where HBK injured his back and had to miss 4.5 years. It is, without any possible debate, the biggest moment in SummerSlam history. Also awesome was Bret referring to the event as "The Summerslam" in every promo leading up to it.
Elias looks like Macho's kid...
Both you and the WWEs video showed RKOs Cash In
Undertaker's laugh from Summerslam 2015?!
without feeing the video yet..... Summer Slam 1993 Final ^^
Whatculture would've made a video about the WORST Summer slam moments. That is why Cultaholic is better.
Great video. But Savage didn't always treat Elizabeth with respect.
"Head for the beach!"
Summerslam is being hosted in NY
Maybe if they stayed in Cali... I'm not bitter!
YOU MUST BE FUCKING CRAZY IF THATS THE NUMBER ONE MEMORY
Kota Ibushi vs Kenny Omega...
Was that you on the beach at the start Pacitti?
Despite the rest you just gotta agree due to British bulldog vs hart at Wembley being number 1
imo
Good vid.
Tho not all of these moments would make my top 10...if I had a top 10.
imo
At first on my phone notification I thought it said "10 Biggest WWE Sellouts"
Heh. Number one isn't to self serving, is it Adam? Keeping in mind that some of us listened to the podcast... ;)
Ziggler is gold. Better than any list.
Dear Pacitti: Raleigh is pronounced like Mojo's last name. K thanks
I'm sorry, but Michaels vs. Hogan is one of my all time favorites.
Michaels vs Hogan was great, im glad HBK made hogan look like egomaniac he is

I heard a rumour about british bulldog smoking pcp with jim the anvil neidhart before his match with bret at summerslam 92
Peter Mccleery
That might actually be true since Bulldog couldn't remember what he was supposed to do
It was crack
Just curious. Is cultaholic going back for Simon miller? Or is it a WWE type talent raid? Or is Simon the undertaker of the attitude era and pledged allegiance to whatculture and be their #1 general in the locker room during the Monday night wars?
No Bret vs Owen?
so i just looked it up and Shawn Michael vs triple h at summerslam only got a 4.25 by Meltzer, take that as you will
Damnit, Pacitti, if you're gonna be smarky, at least be accurate. Lesnar didn't hit Cena with 16 German suplexes. It was 15 German suplexes and 1 snap vertical suplex.
"Mocho Man"
Not even an honorable mention for Bret and Owen, THE cage match?
Add a public comment
IMPORTANT: Njpw spoils A and B block winners by showing graphic of them both immediately after loading the website. You guys should report on this, so many people are pissed off.
Taker wanted Lesnar to beat the streak.
The only reason that bulldog winning the IC title was number 1 is because these guys are brits themselves
Most famous football stadium? I don't think Summerslam was held at Annfield?
Reaper, is that you?
Hbk v hogan.. lowkey favouite match in history 😂😂
Given Lesnar's skills in the UFC ring eh anyone who can throw decent hands and is so so at their ground game can whoop his ass
Lmfao #1 not even so many bigger moments.
After The Cena match I did not want to see Lesnar again.
Is it just me or does Elias and macho man look similar?
Unwanted Jericho its just you

Shawn was in a match in 2000 for twa so summerslam wasn’t his first match since mania 14
Randy Orton’s first world title win is only an honorable mention yet Bulldog’s IC win is #1? Totally not UK biased or anything
Clearly one was much better than the other. People still talk about that Bulldog and Bret match, Orton's first world title victory is only remembered for it's statistical relevance.
The only reason the statistic is mentioned and not the match is that he won the title from Benoit who was erased by the WWE; the match itself is a classic that deserves higher than an honorable mention
NANI?
Bret/Owen/blue cage.
Orton beating Benoit should be on the list instead of Brrrrrrrock Llllllllesnar.
