Six Reasons Why SummerSlam 1994 is My Favorite SummerSlam

6. I was four years old. 

In 1994, I was only four years old. But, I was an avid wrestling fan with a die-hard devotion to Bret Hart and the Undertaker. Both of my favorite superstars were on the card in singles competition...and that made me very very happy.

5. The Super Sleuths 

In the quest to find the "Real Undertaker" Leslie Nielson and George Kennedy were hired to track him down. This was a very entertaining comedy sketch that I loved as a kid. I remember going to the video store and renting SummerSlam 1994 over and over again just to see the comedy skits these two did. It was the best thing ever as a four-year-old to see so much legitimate comedy in wrestling.

4. The Hart Family's Involvement 

The Hart Family had a huge involvement in the pay per view as part of the Bret Hart v. Owen Hart story angle. I have always been a family oriented person, even as a child, and it made me so excited that a large chunk of the Hart family was at ringside. Hey, it also brings a smile to my face today. :)

3. The Survivor Serious Promo 

Okay, Okay, looking back at it...the Survivor Series Promo was soo cheesy. But, four-year-old Brittney loved it! The Survivor Series Promo had grunts groans and referenced turkey and stuffing. I think it was perfect for a four-year-old.

2. Bret Hart v. Owen Hart
I think this match and this angle is why I cried when my mom found out she was pregnant with my little brother when I was six years old. I always had been an avid Bret Hart fan and seeing him fight his younger brother was so awesome. It was like a look into the life of my favorite wrestler, and I saw not only is Bret excellent, but his entire family is incredible. Not to mention this is one of the best matches in WWE history. This match is a classic and made four years old Brittney smile.


1. Undertaker v. Undertaker 
I know everyone thinks I am crazy because many wrestling analysts describe this as one of the Undertaker's worst matches...next to his WrestleMania IX bout with Giant Gonzalez. However, I loved this match it was an attraction match. I watched this match over and over again. I was so invested in this match at four years old I would come home from school just to watch it again.

WWE Confirms Dean Ambrose Not Renewing Contract

SummerSlam 1988 – Since we are just a few weeks away from SummerSlam 2012, I believe it is only appropriate to take a look at the very first one.

Long before I was born, okay two years before I was born, but long before I was thought of I’m sure, there was the great SummerSlam 1988. This is the historic night that set the precedent for the subsequent 22 almost 23 SummerSlams. What were the matches on that night? I’m glad you asked! The British Bulldogs (The late Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) vs. The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques and Raymond), this tag team match ended in a draw. Okay Answer for 1000 points, who are the Fabulous Rougeaus? Don’t worry I’ll wait. Buzz!!! The Fabulous Rougeaus were a tag team, duh! They were in the WWE for a short time but Jacques went on to become one half of the very popular Quebecers. Okay semi-popular Quebecers. But hey they were three time WWE tag team champions, three more than the Rockers. But in comparison to popularity…I guess championships really don’t matter *shrugs shoulders*. The late Bad News Brown defeated Ken Patera. Both of these wrestlers won competitive ...

Natalya

Okay Okay let’s talk the real! Can I just say that Natalya’s losing streak is ridiculous? And, adding insult to injury, have you seen her promos?? Especially with her farting ew TACKY! I mean really, what is that about?  Before we talk about Natalya’s competition let’s look at her credentials! She’s the daughter of the legendary Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, the granddaughter of Hall of Famer Stu Hart, and the niece of WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart. But that’s just her lineage, which beats any other WWE Superstar, male or female…I’m just saying. She is the first and only female graduate of the infamous dungeon. Anyone who is a real wrestling fan knows of The Dungeon…well if you’ve been under a rock for the last 20 years, then I’ll update you! The Dungeon was located in the mansion of Stu & Helen Hart and is where Davey Boy Smith, Bret and Owen Hart trained and undoubtedly developed their signature moves.  Yes, Bret Hart, can you say “Excellence of E...
