10 Greatest Superstars In WWE SummerSlam History

10. Mick Foley

Mick Foley's body of work at SummerSlam may be relatively small but it is difficult to find another Superstar who was consistently part of a high-profile feud the way the 'Hardcore Legend' was.

He left his mark on SummerSlam history in 1996 when he waged war with The Undertaker in a brutal, violent, incredibly physical Boiler Room Brawl that demonstrated the hatred that existed between them.

The mask-wearing freak would win that match, thanks to a shocking betrayal by Paul Bearer, but it would be his transformation into Dude Love the following year that ranks as one of the most underrated in event history.

His victory in 1999 would be his most significant, though. Fresh off much-needed knee surgery, he found himself inserted into the SummerSlam main event, where he and Triple H would challenge "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat match.

With Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura as the special guest referee, Mankind capitalized on a prone Austin, delivered a big double-arm DDT, and won his third WWE Championship.

He returned to action at the 2006 SummerSlam, where he would demonstrate his innate ability to tell a story during a brutal, violent, bloody I Quit match against Ric Flair.
