15 Most WTF Moments In WWE SummerSlam History

4. The "No Hitting In The Face" Match (1992)

The Shawn Michael vs. Rick Martel match at SummerSlam 1992 had a very...unique stipulation, that because HBK's manager Sherri was so concerned about both men's dashing good looks, she decreed that neither could hit the other in the face during their fight.

The match itself was nevertheless relatively fun, save for one unpleasant spot in which the pair kept rolling each other up and showing their bare as*es off to the 80,000+ Wembley Stadium crowd, and eventually, the stipulation was totally abandoned as the pair resorted to slapping one another.

After Sherri ended up fainting outside the ring, the pair both attempted to revive her, resulting in a disappointing double countout finish, even if the ultimate pay-off, that both men started brawling backstage while leaving Sherri in tears all on her lonesome, was undeniably hilarious. Plus, how often did you get to see heels fighting one another in 1992?

Even so, it's easy to imagine Vince coming up with this stipulation and cackling to himself like a madman, no doubt finding it infinitely funnier than anyone else did.
