Ranking all Summerslam main events from worst to best

#6 Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth's wedding - Summerslam 1991

I'm not crying, you're crying

Anyone who thinks professional wrestling is all about the in-ring action clearly hasn't watched Summerslam 1991. True, when you decide to put a wedding ceremony as your main event rather than a championship match, you run the risk of upsetting a lot of people. But when that ceremony involves Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, normal proceedings must be parked to one side.

This came off the back of the highly emotional on-screen reunion between the two at Wrestlemania 7. Savage then proposed to Elizabeth shortly after and the stage was set.

Summerslam 91 was billed as having 'a match made in hell' featuring Hogan and Warrior taking on the Iraqis, and a 'match made in heaven', finally establishing the most popular relationship in wrestling history. Sometimes you can finish off a show in style without a single bell being rung.

#5 Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage vs. Ted Dibiase and Andre the Giant - Summerslam 1988

What a way to kick things off

Kicking off our top 5 is the first ever Summerslam main event featuring The Mega Powers of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and the widely despised pairing of Ted Dibiase and Andre the Giant known as the Mega Bucks.

The was a follow on from Wrestlemania 4 and Savage's victory over Dibiase in the main event for the WWF title. Savage and Hogan were easily pro-wrestling's most popular tag team and nobody else could have kicked off the Summerslam PPV quite like them.

Dibiase and Andre were obviously legends in their own right, and with the involvement of both Miss Elizabeth and Jesse Ventura, this had all the makings of a classic before a single punch was thrown. And if that wasn't enough, we all remember the spot where Elizabeth tore off her skirt to help her team to victory.

#4 The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar - Summerslam 2002

The arrival of The Beast

Summerslam 2002 is generally considered one of the best of all time, and in large part, it's because of its main event. Admittedly, both Brock Lesnar and The Rock have had better matches in their time, but at least as far as Lesnar is concerned, this was one of their most important.

WWE has had some great passing of the torch moments throughout its history but due to time constraints or certain people preferring to play politics as opposed to helping the business, they're not always possible. This is an example of a passing of the torch moment done correctly.

This match had such high energy and drama from the very start, which is surprising considering a number of great matches the crowd had already sat through with this show.

They clearly wanted to see a new champion be crowned, and despite still being widely popular with the audience, The Rock simply had to give away and allow a new generation to emerge. A very solid match from two of WWE's biggest all time attractions.
