10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views: 2000 - 2002

#2 SummerSlam 2002

Best ever SummerSlam

In my opinion, without a doubt, the best WWE SummerSlam in history. This was just a phenomenal event that had everything for every kind of wrestling fan. The live audience was electric all night long.

Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio gave one of the best show opening matches of all-time, perhaps the next best after Bret and Owen Hart and WrestleMania X. Mysterio tapped out to the Ankle Lock.

The only dud of the night came next. Ric Flair and Chris Jericho are two of the best wrestlers ever. However, their match here was just a very poor and botched offering. Moving on, Edge pinned Eddie Guerrero in a passable match.

Edge has commented on this match over the years calling it disappointing, but happy they redeemed themselves in later matches. He was right.

Lance Storm and Christian retained their WWE Tag Team Championships over Booker T and Goldust in a red hot match.

All four men really earned their paychecks here. Rob Van Dam defeated Chris Benoit for the Intercontinental Championship in a very good match, which was overlooked at the time. The Undertaker pinned Test in a short but fair match.

Brock Lesnar cemented his spot as the future of WWE when he defeated The Rock for the WWE Championship. this was a very exciting and action-packed match, the kind of match you wish you could get out of The Beast Incarnate today.

The crowd was on fire for it too, they gave out every cheer possible. loud chants of booo's, cheers, Rocky, Rocky sucks, Brocky, Brocky sucks, Lesnar, Lesnar sucks, Goldberg, they had every chant possible.

The best match of the night came from the epic Unsanctioned match from Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

It was HBK's first WWE match in over four years and he immediately proved why he had been one of the best wrestlers of the 90's. Michaels pinned The Game after a flip roll up. Epic battle.
