The Greatest Match From Every WWE SummerSlam Ever

32. 1988 - The British Bulldogs Vs. The Fabulous Rogeau Brothers

The very first match under the SummerSlam banner is a relentless affair between two tag teams with very real bad blood. After a lengthy period of bullying by Dynamite Kid, Jacques Rougeau snapped, attacking the famously tough Englishman with a brutal, planned out assault.

With that in mind, the Canadian team must have had some trepidation entering into a match with the volatile Bulldogs, but the bout goes off without a hitch. The Rougeaus play the anti-American heel role as well as anyone, slowing the match down for just long enough to infuriate the crowd before Bulldog or Dynamite Kid ramp up the pace with their explosive, powerful style.

The match ends in a 20 minute time limit draw, which could raise the ire of the WWE crowd but in this instance makes perfect sense - these two teams simply had too much animosity to get out in the constraints of the wrestling ring. Commentator Superstar Billy Graham suggests they might continue the fight in the showers, and that doesn’t seem too unlikely.
