[Jindrak Mark]

Kurt Angle defeated Rey Mysterio by submission Singles match 9:20


Ric Flair defeated Chris Jericho by submission Singles match 10:22


Edge defeated Eddie Guerrero Singles match 11:47


The Un-Americans (Christian and Lance Storm) (c) defeated Booker T and Goldust Tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship 9:37


Rob Van Dam defeated Chris Benoit (c) Singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship 16:30


The Undertaker defeated Test Singles match 8:18


Shawn Michaels defeated Triple H Unsanctioned Street Fight 27:20


Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) defeated The Rock (c) Singles match for the WWE Undisputed Championship 16:01

Arguably a top 5 PPV.

And Kevin Nash tearing his quad the month before is a key reason for it being so great. The original plan was Nash v HHH with no immediate plans for HBK to wrestle that soon.

I've always wondered what Austin would have done on this show if he was around. Maybe v Benoit?

Very ships passing in the night HBK's comeback match being the same night as Rock's last match as a full timer.

Still my favorite Summerslam event to this day from top to bottom.

The HBK/Triple-H street fight and Rock/Brock were the highlights for me.

Its nuts to see just loaded with stars this PPV was. Hell 14 of the talents on it won a world title in the four years before or four years after this show to put into perspective just how big the names were. Arguably 15 if you count Christian getting the NWA title in 2006.

This show was absolute fire. Rey/Kurt, Guerrero/ Edge and the Shawn/Hunter match get a ton of love, but I don’t know if that main event gets enough credit. Rock’s reactions, man.

[Wieners=$$$]

One of the bestest shows to have ever showed👍👍

The main event is amazing.

HBK/HHH needed about 5 minutes shaved off.

I still have no idea what happened to my recorded VHS copy.

Never heard that HHH vs Nash was planned for that Event? But overall a fantastic Summerslam! HBK vs HHH and the Main Event were perfect matches.
