Shawn Michaels vs Triple H - SummerSlam 2002

I think I'm finding that I really enjoy former allies meeting in a finale match after some sort of fallout.

Was a Coliseum Video match at the time. Was pretty good but the WMX match is legendary.

Big Ell

Their Hell in a Cell Match at Bad Blood is also a great match.

The one you’re thinking of was between Bret and Shawn. It might have been at a house show but they had taped it with full commentary. It’s on the network

David

I loved this match was great and funny enough first time at time of being a fan seeing hbk in a match

Ryan Evans

At Royal Rumble 1998 Shawn Michaels faced Undertaker in a casket match and hit his lower back on the edge of the casket and crushed 2 discs in his back and caused him to retire. This was his first match back after that.

What are you talking about the GOAT was in this match

Also, since I haven't noticed anyone mention it yet, the importance of the ladder in the match is a reference to Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania X, which WWE refers to as the first ladder match despite it not being the first. There is at least one other WWF ladder match that was at a house show as well as other territories like Stampede Wrestling in Canada.

This is the first WWE PPV I ever watched as a kid. Love this match.

Love this! This whole ppv is one of my favorites. I'm hoping we will so the GOAT soon, Bret Hart ✌️🌈

One of them has to be this show. It’s almost unanimous that 2002 is the best SummerSlam ever.

Gargano vs Ciampa is the modern HBK vs HHH

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Oh boy since you really enjoy close friendship matches get ready when you see Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa lol your gonna enjoy every single one of there matches

WWE Jay Gaming

This is just the beginning of this feud. They had some great matches like the first elimination chamber, their match at the Royal Rumble and their triple threat at Wrestlemania 20.

Not yet. Still working on how I'll do that now that I have to upload these differently.

Dport

Hey i just noticed the maxx tier includes classic ppvs, have you done any yet? I'm currently a base tier

Cameron Miles

Non sanctioned basically for storyline means WWE isn't sanctioning it. They are accepting no fault if either person is seriously injured or maimed. Shawn had been retired for 4 years due to injuring his back. The non sanctioned sells that Shawn is not cleared to compete (in storyline) and since its not sanctioned there are no rules. The thought is any move to the back could paralyze him which is a great story to work with in the match.

YES!!! So glad you enjoyed it. Watching this also means you’ve seen the first match of HBKs second run and the last match of his second run. Also, this shows stage is in the templates for 2K24 so if you go to the community creations and search for SummerSlam in arenas you’ll find it right away.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

I remember hearing somewhere that every tag team and every stable in pro wrestling exists to fall apart. And if you want more of that, man do I have some NXT matches for you to watch...

prototype27

I forget Have you seen any HBK matches before his back surgery? If not hell in the cell 97 is a BIG must. Don’t worry no tacks lol 👍👍

The Sweet Chin Music and the Pedigree are two of the most protected finishers ever so I like the fact that they protected both of them here. It also makes Taker kicking out of them both years later so epic.

Jordan Alford

Oh that was one of the best Raws. Triple Hs bad day was threaded throughout the show

Tk Banks

Chris Jericho vs hhh on raw 2000 is a must for you Josh for more hhh vs this ref context

Phillyman!!

The referee Earl Hebner has a history with HHH in storyline. When HHH had the power and ran WWF he fired Earl Hebner. So it was a nice call back for Earl to push HHH

Tk Banks

Ahhhh gotcha.

Dport

Triple H can’t wrestle anymore due to a genetic heart condition which requires him to have a pacemaker

Snazzyway

Non sanctioned match is no rules and not official, meaning in kayfabe, that the match doesn’t end no matter how far it goes, if gets past a point of a pinball or submission

Optilliam

Absolutely love Jim Ross announcing the post match attack 🔥🔥🔥

Phillyman!!
