The WORST Moment From EVERY WWE SummerSlam

The Undertaker could've been forgiven for rolling his eyes backstage as well as in front of cameras in character, because he was handed the poorest run of pay-per-view opponents imaginable in the early-90s. Case in point: Kamala. The lumbering kayfabe cannibal was deemed ideal for 'Taker heading into SummerSlam 1992 over in London, England.

Masses crammed inside the old Wembley Stadium (not the same venue AEW has run since, for the record!) watched 'The Deadman' get a rather ironic death spot by following Randy Savage vs. Warrior for the WWF Title but preceding Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog in the main event.

With Kamala - a wrestler who could barely do much beyond slap his belly and look around confused like he'd just woken up from a nap and fancied a snack. Normally, said "snack" was a hapless jobber on episodes of Wrestling Challenge or Superstars, and those rapid fire squashes were all he was really good for.

Further, Undertaker was still in his slow-moving zombie guise at the time, so this bout appeared to be moving in slow motion as it trundled agonisingly towards an obvious 'Phenom' win. Somewhere, a shiver went up Mick Foley's spine as he played the waiting game until 1996 to give 'Taker someone good to work with regularly.

What a rare lowlight on an otherwise historic pay-per-view. Again, ‘Taker had no luck with opponents during this era, and worse was to come in the form of Giant Gonzalez, King Kong Bundy and Mabel. Oh goody. Even Gonzalez couldn't help him take the dubious crown of worst moment at SummerSlam in '93, right enough...
