SummerSlam By The Numbers WWE DON'T Want You To Remember

9. 2

Context is everything in wrestling. Perhaps had Bret and Owen's thirty-plus minute war of sibling supremacy in the steel blue cage at SummerSlam '94 closed the show, Dave Meltzer would have seen fit to award it his coveted five stars. As it happens, the all-time classic played second fiddle to a much maligned main event that was death, doubled.

Two: that's the number of Undertakers who shambled out for the pay-per-view's closer, the culmination of a corny angle in which 'Taker, having died at Royal Rumble '94 (yes), was apparently exhumed by Ted DiBiase. Something was a bit off about The Million Dollar Deadman though - mostly that he was about three inches shorter and had a different face.

That face came face to face - almost - with the real deal in SummerSlam's actual closer, eight minutes of putrefied rot in which both Undertakers, sadly mirroring one another, lurched like sloths through wet cement. Believe it or not, this didn't hit Meltzer's five star limit either.
