10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2007 Facts

So Triple H returned from yet another quad tear, polished off King Booker in under eight minutes, and got a put-on standing ovation from Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler that even Pope Francis wouldn't get.

For reasons that will be explored more in depth later in the list, Booker T was suspended for 60 days at the end of August, which he immediately protested.
