SummerSlam: 7 Best Intercontinental Title matches in history

#1 Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog (SummerSlam 1992)

Easily one the best Intercontinental Title matches in WWE History.

There is little doubt that Brett Hart versus Davey Boy Smith is the best Intercontinental Championship match in SummerSlam history. This was not an ordinary midcard match for a midcard title on a big event like SummerSlam. It was the main event of WWE's biggest summertime event, and it featured two Superstars who themselves had a long history with each other.

The fact that a match for the Intercontinental Championship main-evented a show featuring a WWF Championship match between Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior is enough to warrant a special place for this match in the history of professional wrestling. Smith was at the peak of career, fighting in front of over 80,000 British fans, and he had the perfect dancing partner in Bret Hart to create magic inside Wembley Stadium.

Even though he was never among the smoothest workers, the Bulldog went toe-to-toe with The Hitman for over 25 minutes, matching his every move. The brothers-in-law literally brought down the house in a memorable encounter that ended with Smith managing to pin Hart in this own country to win his first singles title in WWE.

There have been several other great Intercontinental Championship matches at SummerSlam over the years, but none has even come close to this instant classic. Hart versus Smith isn't just the greatest Intercontinental Title match in SummerSlam history, but it is also one of the greatest SummerSlam matches of all time.
