10 Greatest WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The '90s
3. SummerSlam 1991
SummerSlam 1991 is not only one of the greatest events of the '90s, it still stands as one of the World Wrestling Federation's greatest pay-per-views of all-time.
Emanating, of course, from Madison Square Garden, SummerSlam '91 featured three championship matches and three championship changes during an era when titles did not change hands often.
Aside from the historic title changes, the in-ring action was of top caliber too.
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect raised the bar for all future Intercontinental matches, the Legion of Doom defeated the Nasty Boys in an entertaining no DQ/no countout match, and the Big Boss Man vs. The Mountie was surprisingly good with several entertaining post-match segments.
But perhaps the shock of the night came from the match Ted DiBiase pulled out against his former bodyguard. Arguably the loudest reaction of the night came when Virgil won the Million Dollar Championship.
While the Match Made In Hell was no better than average, it had historical significance as it was the Ultimate Warrior's last match before being fired for the first time. It also featured the debut of Sid Justice.
Finally, the Match Made In Heaven, Randy Savage and Elizabeth's on-screen wedding, was a unique show closer that went off without a hitch. The same cannot be said for the wedding reception, but the ceremony itself capped off a fantastic pay-per-view.
