Heck Wrestlemania has at least 2 PPV's (Royal Rumble and No Way Out) to build up the hype to Wrestlemania whereas Summerslam tends to do well based on the quality of the card.
Goldberg vs Triple H and Randy Orton vs Triple H are probably the only two good examples, in that list of matches mentioned, that were completely fresh at that time. But most of those Unforgiven and Cyber Sunday PPV's are filler shows that offer very little value and not that many big feuds have culminated in matches on those PPV's.

Summerslam outbuys the Rumble?
