2019

It's the biggest party of the summer! We've finally reached Summerslam and we were in for a treat. Again this was a very long PPV and the buildup to this event was underwhelming, but did the matches make up for it? Let's take a look at what went down last night in Toronto!

2018

Well, just when I thought I didn’t need to watch another Summerslam, here we are. The 2018 Summerslam isn’t really one I remember too well so in a way I’m kinda looking forward to rewatching it.

2017

Hello I am Ben Mawson and welcome to my sixth and final Summerslam review and this time it is Summerslam 2017, I’m going just going to jump into it.

2016

The 2016 edition of Summerslam was a memorable one! Long ass show of course, but there was some things on this show that were quite unforgettable. Let's take a look at what went down 3 years ago!

2015

Time to review the 2015 edition of Summerslam! Crazy to think that this was only 4 years ago it doesn't feel like it for sure. This was the kickoff to 4 hour PPVs so I was not excited about watching this because of the length, but I did so let's take a look at what went down!

2014

The night Suplex City was born! Brock Lesnar was on fire back in 2014 after he ended the historic Wrestlemania streak of The Undertaker and it didn’t seem like anything was stopping The Beast. That Summerslam, he challenged WWE World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena in a rematch of their Extreme Rules match only a few years earlier.

2013

It’s my last Summerslam review and to be honest, I couldn’t be happier! I love Summerslam, I really do but I’ve digested too much of it in the past 4 weeks but I end on a good one; 2013! The 2013 Summerslam was one of the best of all time in my opinion so let’s jump into it!

2012

In fairness, WWE’s roster wasn’t the best back in 2012 . What would be solid mid-carders in 2019(or more likely, nowhere to be seen) were elevated to lofty positions as the company struggled to create any stars to sit alongside John Cena and CM Punk.
Summerslam is one of the big four, the biggest party/event/whatever else they want to call it this year, of the summer, so let's look and see if WWE was able to punch above its weight seven years ago.
The event was held at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles and 17,482 fans turned out for what they hoped would be an evening of thrilling action.

2011

Time to review the 2011 edition of Summerslam! This show had some good stories going into it, especially with the double main events. I didn't remember much from this show besides the main event so this was a treat to watch. Let's take a look at what went down on this show!

2010

Remember the nexus? August 15th, 2010 was the night that they died and the killer? John Cena. Today, I’ll be reviewing the 23rd Summerslam so let’s get started.

2009

The final Summerslam of the 2000s! It's time to review the 2009 edition of Summerslam and I must say I was looking forward to this as I haven't seen this show in its entirety. After looking at the card for this event, I was for sure interested in seeing how theses matches turned out. Let's take a look at what went down 10 years ago!

2008

This SummerSlam had a little bit of everything. You had a never before seen match, a fake retirement, the return of the Undertaker, CM Punk as a world champion, and a decent Great Khali match! Let's jump right into the thick of things.

2007

Summerslam 2007 was weird. It had some good matches and feuds that had either been huge or were going to be huge moving forward, and matches that kinda just seemed to be there to fill out the card. It also had Great Khali as World Heavyweight Champion, so there's that. All the matches were all super quick as well, with only two going over 10 minutes and one going over 15 minutes. It almost felt like the entire show was really rushed. The show did feature two big returns, as Rey Mysterio and Triple H made their returns from a knee injury and a quadriceps tear respectively. Would there returns save the show, we'll just have to wait and see.

2006

It’s about to get heated as it’s time for another Summerslam review and no we will not stop! Here we are, 2006 and it’s live from Boston! I’m excited and that means, you should be too!

2005

This Summerslam has gone down in a bit of infamy due to the main event, but we’ll get there when we get there. Overall, this show played out like most fans expected. You had a quick opener, a blood feud between two guys that hated each other, two old rivals facing off again, two pretty good world championship matches, a legendary main event, and Eugene vs Kurt Angle. Let’s dive right into the show!

2004

We're now in the year 2004 so it's time to take a look at that year's Summerslam! Held in Toronto, CA, this show had some good hype going into it. Some of the matches had good storytelling going into them and fans were intrigued to see how the matches would deliver. Did the matches do just that, deliver? Let's take a look at what went down!

2003

This show had a lot to live up to. It was following a from 2002 that had a lot of fantastic moments, so how do the try to top that? In order to try and top it, they used a great fatal four way for the United States Championship, a fantastic WWE Championship match, and the second ever Elimination Chamber Match. Was it able to exceed Summerslam 2002, no. But this one stood out in its own way.

2002

I’m excited for this one - Summerslam 2002, many call it the greatest Summerslam of all time and today, I’m going to see if that’s true or not so here we go, Summerslam 2002.

2001

Hello I am Ben Mawson and welcome to my third summerslam review and this time it is summerslams 2001. This takes place right after the invasion PPV between the WWF and Alliance so all the matches are between both sides which should be interesting.

2000

Hello I am Ben Mawson and welcome to my second summerslam review and it is summerslam 2000, this was a rollercoaster of emotions with great spots one moment and not so good moments at other points through out the show. Let’s just go into it.

1999

Summerslam, Summerslam, Summerslam - will these reviews ever end? No. Here we are now in the year 1999 and it’s time to conclude this week of reviews and before we approach the new millennium, we need to review this PPV so let’s get this done!

1998

It’s the summer of 1998 and it’s time for the World Wrestling Federation to put on their “Summerslam” PPV. Now, it’s the summer of 2019 and it’s time for All Things Combat and it’s time to review the “Summerslam” PPV.

1997

It’s time for me to tackle a full week by the looks of it! I’ll happily take it, I can compare these three Summerslams and link them all together which should be good fun. This is my third summerslam review for AllThingsCombat.com and I’m really looking forward to this one so let’s get started.

1996

The Summerslam the year before I was born emanated from the Gun in Cleveland, Ohio where I am from. This show featured two very interesting matches, the famous Boiler Room Brawl and the infamous Vader vs Shawn Michales match. Other than those two matches, there was nothing really special about this show. All the wrestlers that should’ve won, did win and there was not a lot of story progression.

1995

It’s Summerslam 1995 and it’s going to be a crazy Wednesday Review. We’ve got so much to look forward to as Diesel defends his belt against King Mabel, Razor Ramon defends his title against Shawn Michaels in an iconic ladder match and Alundra Blayze defending her WWF Women’s title. Let’s start the show!

1994

It’s my turn to chime in with a review and the random wheel name generator picked me to do 1994 - I don’t think, I’ve ever watched this summmerslam and I couldn’t even tell you who’s fighting on this card so I’m just going to watch this now and review the whole PPV and I’ll be back very soon to do the 1995 PPV because I was one of the “lucky ones” who got two back to back.

1993

An interesting Summerslam to say the least! Once again I love the nostalgia, but the matches were hit or miss. Not to mention a very memorable ending to the show. Let's take a look at this show!

1992

This one's definitely a treat for you guys! This was the first time I got to watch this Summerslam in its entirety and I must say this was definitely a Summerslam to remember. So much nostalgia, so much moments, so many memories! Not to mention, this was held in Wembley Stadium in the UK and 80,000 fans packed this place, setting the 2nd all time attendance record for a PPV behind Wrestlemania III. Let's take a look at what went down on this historic show!

1991

Hello, I’m Ben Mawson and welcome to my first summerslam review and it is Summerslam 1991! This was a solid show with a ending made in heaven as the wedding bells ring.

1990

One year after a very bad show, SummerSlam 1990 was for the most part very good. You had great matches, good story set-up, but the last three matches just didn’t click for me when I watched it. But that shouldn’t distract from what was a very good undercard.

1989

I’m gonna say this right off the bat, this was not a good show. It had the potential to be a great show with the likes of The Brain Busters, The Hart Foundation, Dusty Rhodes, Mr. Perfect, Shawn Michales, Tito Santana, Rick Rude and Randy Savage. There was a ton of potential for this to be a great show, but something didn’t click this night. And my biggest issue comes at the main event, but well get to that later.

1988

Well so it begins - a look back at every Summerslam that ever happened. So this is where it all began with the first summer slam and the first match was
Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid vs The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers. Let’s just get this started.
