10 Times WWE SummerSlam Main Event Was Better Than WrestleMania Main Event

10. SummerSlam 1988 > WrestleMania IV

The very first SummerSlam eminated from Madison Square Garden in August 1988 and opened with a tag team match that bizarrely ended in a time limit draw. Thankfully, matches like Demolition vs. The Hart Foundation and The Ultimate Warrior squashing The Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Championship helped bring the show up several notches ahead of its blockbuster main event.

The Mega Powers vs. The Mega Bucks - or Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase and Andre The Giant - was two WrestleMania rematches rolled into one. Hogan and Andre had squared off at WrestleMania IV, as had DiBiase and Savage; the latter winning the vacant WWF Championship in the main event.

Whilst there was nothing wrong with Savage vs. DiBiase, it came after a night of boring tournament matches that were quite draining to get through. The SummerSlam tag match was a lot more exciting, even if it did end by the heels getting distracted by Miss Elizabeth flashing her pants.

Truly, this was the beginning of the Women's Evolution...
