Best Summerslam
I honestly think that Summerslam, without the pressure of Wrestlemania, is the best PPV of the year. But what is your favourite ever? For me it's 91 or 92.... Discuss.

Whilst the majority of Summerslams have all be really good, I'd probably have to go with 2002. Not only were the matches great, but overall all the storylines and booking going into it was really solid.

2000 was the first one I saw and still my favourite. An amazing PPV from top to bottom, it had a bit of everything. That's how they should be booked.

For me , 1996 because I did my English talk in school on the Mankind Undertaker boiler room brawl...THEN WE GOT TO WATCH THE WHOLE MATCH!!!
Note : I was only 16 at the time, so it was win. |

I have a soft spot for 98, mainly for the Ladder match and the entire build to Austin/Taker. Also because I was there.

Angle vs. Mysterio from Summerslam 02 was one of my favorite matches ever, and the rest of the card wasn't too shabby either. I still have to go with Summerslam 2000 for nostalgic purposes though.

In theaters? Random...
2004 will be a stain on my memory as the PPV when Benoit's title reign ended.

Yeah, they played it in theatres here. Was neat to see it.
None of us had jobs to afford to travel to see it. |

Angle vs. Rock vs. HHH Jericho vs. Benoit - 2 out of 3 falls Blackman vs. Shane-O Mac Undertaker vs. Kane TLC 2 |

91 had Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect. Plus, from a storyline pov, Bossman vs Mountie was amusing. 92 had Bret Hart vs Bulldog in possibly Davey's best WWF match ever.

2001 was great too. It had a fantastic card top to bottom, really. It probably doesn't get a lot of recognition because it took place during the Invasion, and the disappointing storylines probably overshadow the PPVs.

I guess, it was a long time ago, I just mostly remember hating the Undertaker/DDP feud.

Most of the Summerslams are some of my favorite PPVs of the year. My all time favorite is easily 2002, every match was solid and the crowd was on fire all night. After that it would be 2005, 2001, 2004, and 1994 with an honorable mention to 1998 for the awesome ladder match which is my favorite match of all time. 1991 and 1992 are pretty solid, the only one that I cringe sitting through is 1995, but when i think about it Diesel and Mabel could have been a whole lot worse, that wasn't even the worst part of the show in my opinion. Bertha Faye winning the women's title or Skip and Barry Horowitz takes that spot.

98 was one of WWF's best ppv's ever. Amazing main event, ladder match, and great angles and undercard. Love that PPV.

The ladder match between Rock and HHH was so epic. But i'm not telling you anything you don't know.
1998 Summerslam was my first SS so I have to go with that one. Just loved every match on the card. Even X-pac versus D-lo was HOT |

1992 for me. For my money, it doesn't get any better than Bret/Bulldog.

Although you did list Dolph and Rey Rey, which I haven't seen so maybe I am wrong.

Actually, the TLC was really good too, but Dolph v. Rey was great. Watch it right now.

02 stands out for me strictly bc of HBK's return which I thought would never happen. Plus the match against HHH was a very very good match for someone who had not wrestled in 4 years.

tough question... most of them have been really good, but I'll have to say 1998 followed closely by 2002 & 1996

Yes Mysterio vs Ziggler was fantastic, classic Summerslam IC title match. I forgot all about it.

2000 is one of my favourites.
TLC II, Angle v Rock v HHH, Jericho v Benoit, even the Taker v Kane non-match was good. |
