SummerSlam 2019 was also a pretty good show. Edge returned, The Fiend debuted, Goldberg had his best match since WM 33, Charlotte vs Trish Stratus was a great passing of the torch and Rollins vs Lesnar was better than their WM 35 match. The only downsides were the double count out with Kingston vs Orton and the PPV being 4+ hours and I guess I'm biased because I was there.

You have a good point. Maybe it's easy for us to forget how good SummerSlam 2019 was. For me, the main event was a banger. A proper gutsy performance for a babyface Seth Rollins conquering the Beast in a manner that absolutely made him the BeastSlayer unlike their showdown at Mania.

You obviously are a whole lot of biased mate. 2019 was like the most mediocre SummerSlam and easily forgettable SummerSlam ever. Fiend debuted was good I'll give you that. Goldberg's best match since Mania 33? Uhh. No? It was just super kicks, spears and a jackhammer. Just your average Goldberg boredom. Passing of the torch? Mate Trish retired over a decade ago. It's not like Reigns beating Cena at No Mercy 2017. That's called passing of the torch. Match solely existed because the show was in Toronto and they didn't had any legit contenders for Charlotte. Rollins vs Lesnar at Mania 35 wasn't even a proper match. Just low blows and curb stomps. The bar was almost non-existent to climb. Still, a good match nevertheless. However, Shane fighting Owens in a Singles match (awful) with stipulation only hurting Owens was bollocks. AJ and Ricochet having the same goddamn singles match. I mean it definitely wasn't terrible yeah but nowhere near a good one let alone a pretty good one. If I had to do a Michael Rosen's reaction to it then it would've been "Alright, I said alright"

Summerslam 2013 is easily the most underrated PPV in WWE history. Punk vs Brock is SO good and the last great match of Punk's WWE tenure and I don't know if I've ever seen a more emotional face vs face match than Cena vs Bryan.

I simply can't pass up an Blampied list...he's so damn entertaining!

Hear me out, 2017. Show carried by its main event, that fatal 4 way was AMAZING. The Styles/Owens US title match was great, despite ref shenanigans, and Ambrose/Rollins v The Bar was a barnburner too. Sure, Randy v Rusev and Jinder Mahal weren’t great additions, but the main event carried the show

That match was amazing

The Bret vs Bulldog match is even more impressive when you factor in they had to call it on the fly because Davey boy was apparently up all night smoking crack with the Anvil 😂😂 Testament to Brets talent in the ring to carry a match to that elite level almost on his own

What I appreciate about this list is it encompasses some of the best in their respective eras, spanning from late Golden Era/New Generation era to Attitude to Ruthless Aggression to the PG era. There's good reason to critique the WWE creatively because they prove that when they're good, they're great and they don't always do that.

Good list. I really liked 05, despite all the controversy the ME got after the fact. I liked it better than 03 (which I wasn't a fan of), and it's probably my favorite after 02. 91 was my first PPV, and with the Perfect/Bret match, Dibiase/Virgil, the Tag Title Match, and the Bossman/Mountie stuff, is still a really fun watch. Been a while since I watched the whole thing, but I remember really liking 15 (with Taker and Brock).

I find it fitting that the moment Adam said " I am not if nothing a trend setting, trailblazer" my app crashed

I see your 2001, and I raise you 2005. That also was a great card. Hardy/Edge, Mysterio/Guerrero, Orton/Taker 2, Jericho/Cena, Batista/JBL and Hogan/Michaels. It’s a soap opera loaded show, but a fun one to watch.

I liked summerslam 2015 due to how taker and lesnar had an absolute slugfest, taker may have been slow and old that time but he proved that he could still hang with lesnar
