10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2010 Facts
1. The Main Event Was The Longest Match In SummerSlam History
When the first three (out of six) matches of SummerSlam 2010 combined for less than 20 minutes of ring-time, you knew at least one match was going to be given epic-length. The seven-on-seven was a prime candidate to go a long time, even with the relative inexperience of the wrestlers on the Nexus side.
The match stretched out to 35 minutes and 15 seconds, a SummerSlam record that may never be topped. The previous mark was set in 1994, when Bret and Owen Hart's steel cage match for the WWE Championship clocked in at 32 minutes, 22 seconds.
So there you have it: only two matches in the history of SummerSlam cleared the half-hour mark, and Bret Hart was in both of them. Truly, he is "The Excellence of Execution."
