because that match happened at the 1990 royal rumble (garvin was guest ring announcer for valentine's summerslam 89 match). match also got edited off the royal rumble 1990 vhs, so most folks never saw it until the dvd era of home video/youtube/wwe24-7 days.
3:55 - "KURT ANGLE LEARNS TO BLEED THERE". This entry is about SummerSlam '01. Just wanted to point out that 9 months prior to this event, Angle got color for the first time ever. It happened at Armageddon 2000 during the 6-Man Hell in Cell for his WWE Title, which he retained. He bled buckets then as well and it was significant after a solid year of fans putting up with his snobby attitude. They don't make em like they used to.
I have always found it so stupid that wrestlers would have to go to Wrestler's Court with Undertaker presiding over actions they were forced to take by his bestie Vince.
My gosh I forgot about that dodgeball, awful embarrassing..makes me ashamed as a wrestling fan 😢 Positivity is great..ignoring reality is not..thank you for pointing it out..true care about something is to be able to see the things that are awful and not ignoring them
Wow I attended summer slam 95 where I meet Bret Hart Duke the dumpster droese Chris candido sunny Justin credible Savio Vega Rikishi all at SummerSlam 95
I think people need to go back n watch that excellent rivalry with HHH v Shawn, especially the first one. And with Shawn saying he didn't want the belt makes it even more special
If Flair vs Savage in 1988 would have happened, I wonder who Hogan would have wrestled. Does WWF slot another wrestler to replace Savage? Or is it Hogan vs DiBiase w Andre at ringside? Or do Hulk Ted and Andre all et different opponents? Interesting to think about?
The Title Match That Almost Made History: Summerslam 1999 I'm only gonna say 17 words: CHYNA vs. Stone Cold with guest referee Jesse Ventura for the World Championship in the main event.
@@gregmartin114 They NEVER made chirons for matches that were planned to never take place. And there's a famous one for this match. Plans changed when old schoolers and politickers backstage scared Vince out of it. Her IC title reigns were her consolation prize for screwing her out of the history books.
Simon "the best thing about sports entertainment is that you can do whatever you want and there should never be any rules" Also Simon "oh no dodgeball, I am upset"
Ive always thought it was such a coincidence that the year after WCW went out of business, Shawn Michaels' career ending back injury was miraculously healed and he was able to go another decade+ lol
Thats part of the charm of AEW and us fans. It offers something a bit different than WWE and part of that is the fact between a few major wrestling promotions gives room for a wide variety of match ups
Nobody ever talks about the Greg Valentine/Ron Garvin SummerSlam match when they both had the Figure 4 finisher.
because that match happened at the 1990 royal rumble (garvin was guest ring announcer for valentine's summerslam 89 match).
match also got edited off the royal rumble 1990 vhs, so most folks never saw it until the dvd era of home video/youtube/wwe24-7 days.
If Flair went to the WWF in ‘88 then, he never would’ve had that amazing trilogy with Steamboat in ‘89.
That match with HBK over-selling against Hogan is glorious.
I feel like summer slam should start summer not kinda end it lmao
Don't wanna be that guy but summer ends late September.
@@dionetherington1919well if you were that guy, you'd know its different all around the world
SummerSlam is any time in August. That's the right time for Summerslam 👍
I disagree I think in theory it should be the culmination of the entire summer
@@ryankeefe2102 yeah if thats true it would be in September not august lol

Love watching Shane McMahon take crazy bumps. Daredevil

shoulda done this in your best Minty Impression.

I thought ignoring reality was Simon's whole USP?
The movie Dodgeball was released in 2004, I'm guessing one of the writers saw it and thought it'd be a good idea.
At 3:20, For a minute there I thought Shane McMahon surpassed Mick Foley’s fall off the top of the cell when he fell off the titan tron.

How WWE must regret missing the opportunity to open the Forbidden Door first
Love it or hate it; WWE is the otherside of the original term Forbidden Door. These other crossovers are simply that, crossovers.
If Flair vs Savage in 1988 would have happened, I wonder who Hogan would have wrestled. Does WWF slot another wrestler to replace Savage? Or is it Hogan vs DiBiase w Andre at ringside? Or do Hulk Ted and Andre all et different opponents? Interesting to think about?
Technically the WWE Championship went on last 6 times thanks to MITB cash-ins by Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton.
I still want Jericho vs Seth Rollins at Summerslam hopefully in the near future
but why? Jericho moves like a jobber now
They need to bring back the IWGP IC title
Do a retro ups and downs for Summerslam 1992, please?
The Title Match That Almost Made History:
Summerslam 1999
I'm only gonna say 17 words:
CHYNA vs. Stone Cold with guest referee Jesse Ventura for the World Championship in the main event.
That match was never going to happen though

A missed opportunity like Hogan/Flair at WM.
2:53 and they all got a bonus, yeah?

Wait. If kendo sticks live under the ring and hell is under the ring does that mean kendo sticks live in hell?
I think John Cena should have beaten Danial Bryan and Brock lesnar at summerslam. John cena should have won way more at summerslam in the main event
Bryan was over in their match at SS it made no sense to have to Cena win plus he needed time off cause he was hurt and Lesnar winning also made sense
fun fact, it used to be in January, it didnt even become popular until they moved it to august.
August 29th 1988....
Google is your friend.
Oh Simon let's go
IM GOING TO SUMMER SLAM😊
You must love giving away your money
Why is their show names, silly?
Ive always thought it was such a coincidence that the year after WCW went out of business, Shawn Michaels' career ending back injury was miraculously healed and he was able to go another decade+ lol
Hogan is still undefeated at SummerSlam...Should've lost to Orton...
One thing you guys don’t know: Matt Damon brought me here
Lol
Please tell me it was at least Matt Damon as depicted in team America ,everytime I see the word Matt Damon that's how I say it in my head 😂
"They don't know Matt Damon Brought me here."
@@sgt_chugganuggz indeed it was, he’s currently not promoting anything due to his film actors guild strike though
@@GeneHackmansGhost yessssssssssss dude ❤️
WWE loves to do shoot events then get mad at the winner because they didn't want them to win 😂
They know who is going to win FAKE
@@redhawk4859 thank you for your feedback
there should be 11 That WWE is a bunch of Crap
Thats part of the charm of AEW and us fans. It offers something a bit different than WWE and part of that is the fact between a few major wrestling promotions gives room for a wide variety of match ups
Honestly dont care about SummerSlam never did even when i watched WWE 😂🤷♂️
Summerslam this year looks crap
