Thinking Differently 11 - SummerSlam Edition

[Evil Vito]

We're back! And better than ever? That remains to be seen.

Anyway, we're gonna start with a SummerSlam edition. I know I've sprinkled one or two SummerSlam questions into previous surveys before, but figured I'd go full bore with it since the build has started.

(also, because it's not gonna kill me/take me a million hours to research the answers and burn me back out quickly :shifty: )

[Savio]

Should I answer this while tired or sleep on it?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Drunk. So, I say sleep on it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol I remember like 2 or 3 Summer Slams so the majority of my answers are from the same show.

[Big Vic]

Ok I had to do some guessing.


1. Name a wrestler who has won a championship at SummerSlam. *
2. Name a city in which SummerSlam has been held. *
3. Name a wrestler who has main evented only one SummerSlam. *
4. Name a gimmick match that has been featured at SummerSlam. *
5. Name a wrestler who has main evented multiple SummerSlams. *
6. Name a wrestler who has successfully defended a championship at SummerSlam. *
7. Name a year SummerSlam has been held. *
8. Name a SummerSlam opening match. *
9. Name a wrestler who has lost a championship at SummerSlam. *
10. What did Mean Gene say when the SummerSlam sign fell down? *

[Simple Fan]

I know I got a few wrong. Summerslams just are not real memorable.

[Big Vic]

I got the opener wrong.

[Innovator]

I just answered them and completely forgot about a couple Summerslams I've been to

[WinterDecay]

In it to win it

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

IT'S BACK!

AND BETTER THAN EVER!

IT'S ABOUT THE SUMMER!

WE'LL SLAM WHOEVER!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope I remember stuff accurately. I've kind of been intrigued by the history of SummerSlam because it doesn't get the same scrutiny as a WrestleMania but has its own little records and such. I'm hoping that one of my answers is a really surprisingly little bit of trivia.

[Jordan]

Yeah! Thanks BV... I’ll be on it tomorrow

[Lock Jaw]

Totally guessed on like 90% of these answers. Way too specific for to really remember anything with my bad memory.

[Big Vic]

Same, I don't even know the opener for last years.

[Jordan]

Aghh... I missed some answers, hoping that I can still find my way into the top 5 on obscurity.

[Jordan]

I always remember the stuff from when I was a kid a lot better than now.

[rob11]

For some reason I forget most of the undercard matches from when I was a kid so that's where someone is going to win. After I submitted my answers(AFTER) I looked up those matches and thought holy crap how could I forget about them!

[Lock Jaw]

Same, I don't even know the opener for last years.

I guessed Savio Vega vs. Crush. Because why not.

[Big Vic]

I guessed New Age outlaws vs D'Lo/Henry which happened at a UK PPV.... one I never saw.... :?:

[rob11]

I guessed Savio Vega vs. Crush. Because why not.
Savio was my favorite mid-card jobber. Gives me PTSD now being in the audience for KOTR 95. Like really, Savio vs Mabel? I liked him as a jobber, not in a KOTR finals match. It's like taking Heath Slater and putting him in the finals of KOTR vs Baron Corbin.

[rob11]

I guessed New Age outlaws vs D'Lo/Henry which happened at a UK PPV.... one I never saw.... :?:
For some reason I kept focusing on 1995 because it was so terrible, it stuck out more to me than 96 or 94(besides the main event.) 95 did have one great match but the rest was garbage.

[Savio]

I'd whoop Mabels ass.

[Lock Jaw]

Savio was my favorite mid-card jobber. Gives me PTSD now being in the audience for KOTR 95. Like really, Savio vs Mabel? I liked him as a jobber, not in a KOTR finals match. It's like taking Heath Slater and putting him in the finals of KOTR vs Baron Corbin.

I'd be pumped for Slater to make it to the finals

[Bad News Gertner]

Slater should win it

[xrodmuc316]

I got the opener wrong.

I botched that one too. I was watching a random Summerslam last week, and reading about it (before this thread) and let my memory of the reading confuse me. I went back and checked after because I had a feeling I went with the dark match I read about. Sadly, I was right, but learned something I never knew, that Savio Vega was Kwang lol.

[Nicky Fives]

Parents got me a Summerslam boxset for my birthday back in the day and they used to play on repeat in my room all summer, so I think I did real good....

[Bad News Gertner]

Results!!!! Woooo!

[Evil Vito]

[Vastardikai]

Hartford was a Wrestlemania >:(

And I thought Cage match went on last in '94.

Though it is funny that, in the last 2 match that year it was two person with the same name facing each other: Hart vs. Hart and Undertaker vs. Undertaker.

[Lock Jaw]

Surprised I did so well with all the guesses I made (in that I wasn't in the highest)

[Savio]

Surprised I was the only one to say stone cold losing the title when Mankind was such a popular answer.

[Ultra Mantis]

Kind of surprised my Bret Hart strategy actually paid off.

[Jordan]

Damn I got hit hard... was thinking that Jarrett lost the European Championship to X-Pac at Summerslam 98 but it was just hair vs hair... what's funny is I also used X-Pac as my pick for "Won a Championship" but still got it right because he won the WCW Cruiserweight title. Summerslam 95 was the first wrestling VHS I ever owned so it's the most memorable to me, as well as Summerslam 96 is the first PPV I ever purchased at my house so I remember everything.

[Jordan]

Tana you certainly are awesome today, you are the GRAND CHAMPION. Somehow even after throwing in the towel on the Mean Gene question, you still won with 2 points to spare. That is awesome. However you have something left to prove in the next round, can you make it two in a row? Are you truly Awesome ... Tana? Are you?

Also did anyone actually say "Is that 200 an hour?" Would you have counted that?

I knew when answering that I was likely wrong, I couldn't remember, but I also can't tell if anyone said the whole quote for their answer.

[xrodmuc316]

Lol did Mean Gene really say fuck it?? They must re edit that in blooper packages. I've never been happier to be wrong.

I just counted any answer that included “fuck it”

Note also I only docked a point for a wrong answer since it was a joke question anyway

You really must stay in more.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ah shit. It was Love Her Or Leave Her Street Fight not him.

Test Vs. Shane for the rights to Stephanie.

Same difference I guess.

[Bad News Gertner]

90% of my picks were from 2002. That's the only one I remembered.

[Helmsphere]

I'm happy with Fourth.

Knew Benoit would kill me :shifty:

[WinterDecay]

Knew Punk was going to be my downfall.... thank you for the diversion from work, Brother Vito.

[Jordan]

Brother V I have a feeling you're thinking of an ALL WOMEN'S addition of Thinking Differently.... please don't! Don't kill it!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

:lol::lol::lol::lol: Sexist much? DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Only joking about sexist part you should do it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yes! Do an all Women's

[Lock Jaw]

That way, Gertner can fill out "no one cares" for every answer

[Jordan]

:lol::lol::lol::lol: Sexist much? DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

:shifty:


I would totally fail. WWE Women's matches haven't stuck in my memory.

[Bad News Gertner]

That way, Gertner can fill out "no one cares" for every answer

Only after 2006 when women's wrestling got boring.

[Savio]

Was the last bra and panties match in 2006?

[Bad News Gertner]

I should email Cornette that question for the drive thru

[Bad News Gertner]

Just went and did
