Ranking All 29 WWE SummerSlam Main Events Ever
10. Mega Powers Vs. Mega Bucks (1988)
You can’t have a top 10 without paying homage to the
original SummerSlam main event. This feud showed how long-term and smart
booking can lead to two major storylines intersecting and creating an even
bigger one. Hogan-Andre was more than a year old, but the two continued to
collide at events such as The Main Event and WrestleMania IV.
Randy Savage was the WWF champion at this point, and he was battling Ted DiBiase, whom he had defeated in the tournament finals at WrestleMania IV. But DiBiase still had the services of Andre the Giant, and the two would attack Savage, prompting Macho Man to enlist Hulk Hogan for help. And thus, the Mega Powers vs. the Mega Bucks was born.
The match itself was a solid affair, with DiBiase and Andre gaining the upper hand toward the end. This led to the famous moment of Miss Elizabeth climbing up on the apron and tearing off her dress bottom, revealing a pair of bikini bottoms. The crowd roared, DiBiase and Andre were flummoxed, and the Mega Powers rebounded to vanquish the Mega Bucks in short order. Classic match, unforgettable finish.
