10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2006 Facts

10. SummerSlam Made Boston The First Host Of Every Big-Five PPV

Not even the hallowed Madison Square Garden in New York City can lay claim to this achievement. MSG missed out on ever holding a King of the Ring pay-per-view, despite having multiple versions of the other shows (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series).

As of SummerSlam 2006, Boston became the first city to score each of the Big Five. Their first was the 1993 Survivor Series at the classic Boston Garden, followed by WrestleMania 14 in 1998. King of the Ring 2000 followed, then the 2003 Royal Rumble. SummerSlam 2006 made Beantown the first of only two cities to manage this distinction.

The other is Philadelphia, who actually pulled it off later in the year with Survivor Series 2006. Philly deserves all the love it can get for being subjected to the 1995 King of the Ring.
