Is Brock Lesnar Mr. Summerslam?

[The Rick Jericho]

He's had high profile matches his whole career, here is his complete body of work, lots of these matches were memorable too.

2002 - The Rock for the WWE Undisputed Title - Win
2003 - Kurt Angle for the WWE Title - Loss
2012 - Triple H - Win
2013 - CM Punk - Win
2014 - John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Win
2015 - The Undertaker - Loss
2016 - Randy Orton - Win
2017 - Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship - Win
2018 - Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship - Loss
2019 - Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship - Loss
2022 - Roman for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship - Loss
2023 - Cody Rhodes - To be determined

I don't think anyone else's Summerslam resume compares to Brock.

The 2016 and 2018 matches were rotten, everybody was waiting for Braun to cash in in 2018 and didn't care less about Reigns thanks to all those previous bottle jobs, and 2016 made an absolute mockery of the WWE Concussion Protocol.

Yes he probably is, some might say Bret Hart. But Lesnar's matches in 2013 and 2017 at Summerslam were so fantastic to watch that it's hard to say he isn't Mr. Summerslam. That Cena Squash was booked perfectly too.

I forgot him and Punk had that match. I'll have to look it up.

I think Bret used to be considered Mr. Summerslam. In 1988 and 1989 he came up short in tag title matches. Finally won the tag titles from Demolition in 1990. Won the IC title from Mr. Perfect in a classic match in 91. Another classic IC match with Bulldog in 92. Silly stuff with Doink and Lawler in 93. The 94 cage match with Owen which is kinda like the WM12 ironman in that half the people think it's a classic and half thought it was really boring. 95 has a crappy opponent in Dentist Kane.  96 he missed. 97 he had a really good world title match with Taker.

If the Cody match delivers I think Brock could take the title if he hasn't already. 02 v Rock was great. 03 v Angle I think is one of the most underrated matches of all time. It feels like no one ever mentions this match but I think it's better than their WM and ironman matches. 2012 v HHH was a good spectacle. 13 v Punk was great. 14 v Cena was an iconic win. 15 v Taker was shockingly good considering most people thought Taker was finished. 16 v Orton was disappointing. 17 had an amazing 4 way. 18 v Roman was better than their WM match but still nothing great. 19 v Seth was really good. He had the big return at 21. 22 v Roman was highly entertaining and like the 2015 Taker match greatly exceeded expectations.

Cena also had a lot of great Summerslam matches. 05 v Jericho. 06 v Edge. 07 v Orton. 08 v Batista. 11 v Punk. 13 v Bryan. 14 v Brock. 15 v Seth. 16 v Styles.

It's my favorite Brock match and one of my all time favorites overall.

That Summerslam was so good that that match was great yet somehow only my 3rd favorite match of the night after Cena/Bryan, and more shockingly, Del Rio/Christian.

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Yes, but Bret Hart is still Mr. The SummerSlam.

This got me. 😭

[Renslayer]

Rock, Punk and Roman are enough to put brock over the top. Those matches kick ass

["Trickster Dogg" James Jesse]

Looks like in 2020 and 2021 Brock was less Mr. Summerslam and more Missed Your Summerslam.

Don't forget his match against Roman at Summerslam 2021.
