Another fun fact. Everyone hated Jerry Lawler so much, that the refs that were supposed to get Bret off of Jerry while applying the sharpshooter, were actually pushing back Bret to apply more pressure and pain to Jerry Lawler.
Small note: A knee can't be hyper-extended in a sharpshooter. Both knees are flexed in that move. They can be twisted (meniscus/ligament damage possible), or damage could be done to the ankles. Or you could hyper-extend the back and injury it that way.
"Comment section, what if I told you..." That the pic at 1:20 is absolutely Randy Savage and y'all that think it's Jay Lethal are... are.. hold on, where's my Eli Drake button...
Robert Walker No, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Neebs Gaming/Battlefield Friends/Mob Squad, & Bruce Prichard/Jim Cornette/Various Shoots are juuuust a bit better...just a bit.
Lex Luger will forever be my counter argument to anyone who tells me Roman would have gone over great if it weren't for smarks. Sometimes the company babyface doesn't work out or takes several years to really find his footing. Wrestling isn't a science. Or even an art really. You throw everything you got at the wall and hope for the best.
Julian Francisco but Roman was over with the shield, then when he attack hhh in extreme rules people cheered, when he won the wwe title at raw people cheered, when he won the usa title people cheered. Román is over but people boo him because is the cool thing to do .
+Michael Martin who cheered the on raw after mania 32 and 33? him vs hhh was the worst received wrestlemania main event of all time they actually had to mute the crowd and insert fake cheers in the TV broadcasts your points make no sense he's not an over babyface, deal with it... and no, people don't boo him cause it's cool, it's not possible for thousands of people call you an asshole just because it's cool
Michael Martin Luger was over too. After he bodyslammed Yokozuna he got huge pops. Then the pops died down and eventually midcarders were getting louder cheers than him. That's just the way things roll sometimes.
Luger lies! Prichard said on his podcast Lex refused to stay on the bus and would fly from place to place and meet the bus in each location then stay in hotels.
Hahahaha and you're actually going to believe Prichard over Luger?? Sorry to break it to ya but your hero Bruce Prichard is one of the biggest liars in wrestling. I used to check his podcast but eventually I realized everything he says is complete BS and I could no longer listen to Prichard's shit. There are only TWO bigger liars than Prichard and that's Russo at number 2 and Hogan at Number 1. Just like this.... Biggest liars in wrestling history. 3. Bruce Prichard 2. Vince Russo 1. Hulk Hogan
I enjoy really enjoy your "10 Fascinating Facts" series @Plumpy of WhatCulture. I've been watching mostly all of them since your wrestlemania series. My question is do you plan on doing an In Your House series? Cause you would have to cover a WHOLE LOT of them since multiple IYH ppvs happened every year lol
I was in Buffalo traveling back to Detroit, they had a show in Niagara before summer slam and I met giant Gonzalez at the airport and got an autograph. Never seen someone that big in person. In metro detroit the ppv broadcast got cutoff before the conclusion, I didn't see the Lex lariat or celebration.
Wow. Lots of Fascinating Facts about Summerslam videos being posted in a short time span. Looking forward to the next one. Does anyone know the name of the background music used at 7:48, when it advertises the WCPW Pro Wrestling World Cup '17?
I also seem to recall reading because of how bad business was at the time, the SummerSlam crowd here was heavily papered and/or tickets were going as low as $5 because of coupon discounts.
they did the same thing to my aunt at the circus. She was wearing a dress and heels AT THE CIRCUS. First bucket confetti second water all over her. The family had a real good laugh that day
Now, here‘s what i think about the whole Lex/ Bret debacle. Why didn‘t Vince try to convince the Locker room to stay, by Lex wining the Title at Summerslam, than Bret would win the Royal Rumble by throwing over Yokozuna, so he could beat Lex at mania. I mean, jesus, 2 Manias where Bret vs Yokozuna happened, nobody needed that.
Tfw tomorrow is 2017 Summerslam. Rip the makers of this list that today and most likely tomorrow they have to keep on pushing way more to 6 summerslam's left to get it all caught up.
That is true. I didn't realize that. I think that was his first wrestling pay-per-view. I first seen him as the Lightning Kid in Global Wrestling Federation in 1991...
Surprised that they didn't mention that Lex didn't win the title (which was the original plan) was because the entire locker room would revolt as they thought Brett deserved the title more and no one liked Luger being heavily pushed by Vince to be the next Hogan!
Also, if you didn't know, the roster would go on strike if Lex Luger won the title, so Vince thought: "I'm going to troll!" and made Lex win via countout.
Wasn't the locker room threatening to strike or something if luger won the belt? They felt (rightly) that Bret should have got the opportunity. The same thing happened at wrestlemania 10 too I believe.
I think that was either from Wrestlemania 2's battle royal OR from the first Royal Rumble in 1988, the Rumble that was shown on USA and not pay per view...
Anyone know what match the photo from 7:16 was taken? It looks to me like 1987. Guys are using weapons and one has a helmet. The participants are: British Bulldogs (wearing red tights they wore in 87) Bam Bam Warrior Gang JYD Sika Hacksaw Demolition Butch Reed? Hercules? Someone in a NY Jets football uniform w helmet Someone w an Islanders? hockey jersey Someone w a Raiders? #9 jersey
I was at that show back in 1993 in Halifax and I do not recall any Hulk/Bret confrontation with the belt. If I do remember correctly Hulk wasn't even there.
My dream SummerSlam 1993 card- Lex Luger Vs Yokozuna- WWF title match Mr Perfect Vs Shawn Michaels- IC title match Steiner Brothers Vs Money Inc- Tag Title match, losers must split up as a tag team Undertaker Vs Mr Hughes- No Holds Barred match Tatanka/Sensational Sherri Vs Bam Bam Bigelow/Luna Vachon- mixed tag team match Bret Hart Vs Jerry Lawler Crush/Randy Savage Vs Two Doinks Ludvig Borga Vs Marty Jannetty Razor Ramon Vs 123 Kid
They are forgetting that Mr. Perfect lost the match 3 times 1990, 1991 and 1993 he is the only person at that time to lost the title or never got it back
That Yokozuna bouncing in the background is one of the funniest thing I've seen on whatculture
Another fun fact. Everyone hated Jerry Lawler so much, that the refs that were supposed to get Bret off of Jerry while applying the sharpshooter, were actually pushing back Bret to apply more pressure and pain to Jerry Lawler.
Really? 😄😄
Incredible
No wonder he couldn't walk afterwards....
Fun fact: Jerry Lawler deserves all the hate.
I never wanted to watch this show anymore than I do after learning this
Puts Undertaker in the thumbnail-Makes no mention of The Undertaker.
TakerKaneanite619
Yeah..I was wondering the same thing myself. Thought I missed something.
TakerKaneanite619 was just scrolling through the comments thinking I missed something as well. 😂
Probably meant for Summerslam 94 and the whole Taker vs Taker thing.
Lss Not Plumpy's fault though. Besides, it was simply an observation.
It's a picture from the PPV undertaker faced giant gonzalez
I genuinely hysterically laughed at Doink drenching Bruce Hart 😂😂😂😂😂
Small note: A knee can't be hyper-extended in a sharpshooter. Both knees are flexed in that move. They can be twisted (meniscus/ligament damage possible), or damage could be done to the ankles. Or you could hyper-extend the back and injury it that way.
You know why these SummerSlam videos are all great? Because Adam narrates them every time.
"Comment section, what if I told you..."
That the pic at 1:20 is absolutely Randy Savage and y'all that think it's Jay Lethal are... are.. hold on, where's my Eli Drake button...
Remember picking up SummerSlam 93 on VHS in a charity store for £2 when I was a kid. Looking back on it, probably all it was worth!
These list are the best thing ever
Robert Walker yes indeed
Robert Walker
No, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Neebs Gaming/Battlefield Friends/Mob Squad, & Bruce Prichard/Jim Cornette/Various Shoots are juuuust a bit better...just a bit.
I love how the length of the sharpshooter kept changing lol 😂
This is completely unrelated to the video, but Bray Wyatt should be our collective hero for boning JoJo.
John Cole Right?
John Cole they just had a kid recently if I'm not mistaken
Why exactly ? Jojo is a gorgeous woman, but just why ? The man cheated on his then wife..
Lex Luger will forever be my counter argument to anyone who tells me Roman would have gone over great if it weren't for smarks. Sometimes the company babyface doesn't work out or takes several years to really find his footing. Wrestling isn't a science. Or even an art really. You throw everything you got at the wall and hope for the best.
ain't that the truth
Julian Francisco
but Roman was over with the shield, then when he attack hhh in extreme rules people cheered, when he won the wwe title at raw people cheered, when he won the usa title people cheered.
Román is over but people boo him because is the cool thing to do .
+Michael Martin who cheered the on raw after mania 32 and 33?
him vs hhh was the worst received wrestlemania main event of all time
they actually had to mute the crowd and insert fake cheers in the TV broadcasts
your points make no sense
he's not an over babyface, deal with it...
and no, people don't boo him cause it's cool, it's not possible for thousands of people call you an asshole just because it's cool
Michael Martin Luger was over too. After he bodyslammed Yokozuna he got huge pops. Then the pops died down and eventually midcarders were getting louder cheers than him. That's just the way things roll sometimes.
Did you saw last week raw ? he was cheered.
in every single match he gets the " Let's go roman " "roman sucks"
he's over.
Ted Dibiase should've been WWF champion. Incredible talent.
"Something something, doesn't lay down for anybody etc"😂😂 sounds about right
The yokozuna intermission had me laughing 😂
Luger lies! Prichard said on his podcast Lex refused to stay on the bus and would fly from place to place and meet the bus in each location then stay in hotels.
Hahahaha and you're actually going to believe Prichard over Luger?? Sorry to break it to ya but your hero Bruce Prichard is one of the biggest liars in wrestling.

Biggest liars in wrestling history.
3. Bruce Prichard
2. Vince Russo
1. Hulk Hogan
I'm assuming I was being sarcastic in my 5 year old comment here. But who knows, I've slept since then.
I enjoy really enjoy your "10 Fascinating Facts" series @Plumpy of WhatCulture. I've been watching mostly all of them since your wrestlemania series. My question is do you plan on doing an In Your House series? Cause you would have to cover a WHOLE LOT of them since multiple IYH ppvs happened every year lol
Sting and royal rumble and survivor series
"Star spangled silly bus" love it
7:03 "He lost by count out" - Are you sure about this Plumpy??
let's be honest, considering that he didn't win the belt, yeah he pretty much lost.
I was in Buffalo traveling back to Detroit, they had a show in Niagara before summer slam and I met giant Gonzalez at the airport and got an autograph. Never seen someone that big in person. In metro detroit the ppv broadcast got cutoff before the conclusion, I didn't see the Lex lariat or celebration.

Last time I was this early my girlfriend was even more disappointed in me than usual.
Good on you, Plumpy for noting DiBiase as a born-again Christian.
Nice vid Adam
they did the same thing to my aunt at the circus. She was wearing a dress and heels AT THE CIRCUS. First bucket confetti second water all over her. The family had a real good laugh that day

Wrong thumbnail bois
The thumbnail image is from SummerSlam 93... the video is about SummerSlam 93.
I feel like I need to rewatch SummerSlams
Lex"I'll be your hero"Luger
ABOUT TIME WHAT TOOK SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!! #WORKFASTERSAM
Tfw tomorrow is 2017 Summerslam. Rip the makers of this list that today and most likely tomorrow they have to keep on pushing way more to 6 summerslam's left to get it all caught up.
Chris jericho return>wwe battleground
Davey Davey and in other news water is wet, and fire is hot.
Everything>Battleground.
Wow....2:54 aged really well
The yokozuna animation had me dying in laughter 😂😂
Another fact you missed: The first Pay Per View appearance of Sean Waltman. AKA the 1-2-3 Kid and X-Pac.
That is true. I didn't realize that. I think that was his first wrestling pay-per-view. I first seen him as the Lightning Kid in Global Wrestling Federation in 1991...
Ted Dibiase went to All Japan and won the tag belts with Stan Hanson shortly after Summer Slam...
Good video. Really interesting card for the wcpw show advertised at the end
Yokozuna jumping from side to side...lmao
The first Summerslam without The Ultimate Warrior.
Surprised that they didn't mention that Lex didn't win the title (which was the original plan) was because the entire locker room would revolt as they thought Brett deserved the title more and no one liked Luger being heavily pushed by Vince to be the next Hogan!
Dan Palmer blame WWE for the build-up
The great Khali's role in the WWE is like Yokozuna's in this video...floating around.
Fact 11: I was born two weeks later
"...But then Vince had her shot- for breaking Kayfabe and that was the right thing to do!" xD
Why we gotta Pay for extra booking video's ? Give us Some more for Free , we beg you
wwe22ify , YES , We Want Booking videos back !!!
wwe22ify They gotta make money somehow, and TH-cam sure as hell ain't giving to them.
Joshua Cooper I understand that, but Booking videos shouldn't be restricted to Extra
wwe22ify I see where you're coming from but there's only been three booking videos on extra so far
Jack The Italian Sausage I'm curious to know... what are they
Sorry (Hi for my bad English).
Guess England is not your city
Also, if you didn't know, the roster would go on strike if Lex Luger won the title, so Vince thought: "I'm going to troll!" and made Lex win via countout.
Wasn't the locker room threatening to strike or something if luger won the belt? They felt (rightly) that Bret should have got the opportunity. The same thing happened at wrestlemania 10 too I believe.
Michael Smith but Summerslam was a very significant PPV old veterans are gone and New young talent rise to the top
alex kanyima what does that have to do with luger not winning the title?
Michael Smith because Luger was pushed to be a born again Hulk Hogan and was supposed to THE guy
The most fascinating fact of them all: it happened in 1993, now 24 years go :)
“ bare bottom nonsense “. Love it!!
Is it just me or is the audio of the Summerslam videos very quiet at times? Great videos though!
Plumpy is like whatculture's stone cold
Shubham Mathur but plumpy hasn't broken his neck
Daniel Philpott yet
Better tell Debra to stay out of his way.
Shubham Mathur Nah it goes like this :
King Ross - Stone Cold
Plumpy - The Rock
Simon - Goldberg /DDP
ライガー fuck no King Ross is awful
2:56 They went one further with Edge vs Randy Orton with WWE literally labelling it as the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever."
Last time i was this early, this joke was already too old.
7:02 - Plumpy claims Luger lost via count out. Bad plumpy.
PLEASE DO UPS AND DOWNS FOR PAST WM'S... 25-30
Yokozuna bouncing across the screen! 😂😂
what match is that at 7:15 when One Man Gang is holding what looks like a Table?
I think that was either from Wrestlemania 2's battle royal OR from the first Royal Rumble in 1988, the Rumble that was shown on USA and not pay per view...
That confetti bucket trick is an old vaudeville gag, used still by the Harlem Globetrotters.
I've met Ted DiBiase, Tatanka & Roddy Piper
Hearing the Plumpster makes every day better. #gwanplumperslad
7:49
Does anyone know this songs name
I want to know
_Fish Heads_ by Barnes And Barnes...
6:28 Who is Lex Lugar?
Anyone know what match the photo from 7:16 was taken? It looks to me like 1987. Guys are using weapons and one has a helmet. The participants are:
British Bulldogs (wearing red tights they wore in 87)
Bam Bam
Warrior
Gang
JYD
Sika
Hacksaw
Demolition
Butch Reed?
Hercules?
Someone in a NY Jets football uniform w helmet
Someone w an Islanders? hockey jersey
Someone w a Raiders? #9 jersey
You know you're early when your early enough to do a 'you know you're early post.
This show didn't exactly wipe out Luger's reputation for being a choker in world title bouts.
Perfect! Just in time for my sandwich. Eating without a WC Top 10 video just feels so empty...
You guys should do 10 Things WWE wants you to forget about The Attitude Era
At 7:05 you said Lex LOST via count out. Boy, I sure hope someone got fired over that one
The Best Grumpy Cat their is, was, and ever will be
It was an odd Summer Slam, but not worse than Survivor Series 92
Love the Hogan pointing to the ppv s he's missed bit
At 1:18. Thats not Randy Savage. Its Jay Lethal in his "black machismo" gimmick. Time to fire your photo research intern Plumpy
ikr? They have used this picture multiple times now, and I was already wondering if I'm the one who's wrong.
Okay good. I thought I was going nuts too.
Its savage
Summerslam 93 is my favorite Summerslam.
I was at that show back in 1993 in Halifax and I do not recall any Hulk/Bret confrontation with the belt. If I do remember correctly Hulk wasn't even there.
7:00 Luger didn't lose by countout. He won by countout
Bret was saying about the sharpshooter was a shoot. He really leaned back on it to get back at Lawler for something lol.
My dream SummerSlam 1993 card-
Lex Luger Vs Yokozuna- WWF title match
Mr Perfect Vs Shawn Michaels- IC title match
Steiner Brothers Vs Money Inc- Tag Title match, losers must split up as a tag team
Undertaker Vs Mr Hughes- No Holds Barred match
Tatanka/Sensational Sherri Vs Bam Bam Bigelow/Luna Vachon- mixed tag team match
Bret Hart Vs Jerry Lawler
Crush/Randy Savage Vs Two Doinks
Ludvig Borga Vs Marty Jannetty
Razor Ramon Vs 123 Kid
7:02 "and then...he lost by countout"
he won by countout.
As a 7 year old kid who went in person it was awesome, lol.
Inaugural ppv in 1998? @1:37
They are forgetting that Mr. Perfect lost the match 3 times 1990, 1991 and 1993 he is the only person at that time to lost the title or never got it back
How come Plumpy didn't mention anything about Joe Fowler during the "Mark the End of Mean Gene". Joe didn't last long in the WWE and was let go.
The inaugural event was in 88 not 98, come on team
The spinning sharpshooter lol
keep them coming Adam :) #f**k the negatives
Is this true. The Neville, King of the cruiserweights, is the song of the singer? Please tell me
Please do Top 10 finishers which are now transitional moves
3:40 Shawn Michaels didn't retain the IC Title at Summerslam 1994, he was in Diesel's corner as Diesel lost the title to Razor Ramon.
22 more SummerSlams to go 1994 to 2016
name of wcpw world cup's soundtrack??00
7:08 only SummerSlam to my knowledge
I think Yokozuna could bounce like that in real life before he died
Lex "Lugar", eh?
The song at the end sounds like lesly roys I'm gone I'm going. Is this correct?
On my screen the entire video is just Plumpy talking over the thumbnail picture
Nevermind I reloaded and it got fixed
I wonder what would've happened if Vince stuck to his guns and actually let Lex Luger win the WWF title...
How do you put the Undertaker on the thumbnail and not mention the Undertaker/Mr. Hughes situation
Am I the only one to notice the Star Trek font?
Wait... Are you telling me The Lex Express wasn't successful!?
Don't hate on America cause we rule the world
