#11 Lesnar vs Punk was BY FAR the best WWE match of the year yet somehow it wasn't even a choice in the slammies at the end of 2013. The award was won by Rock vs Cena 2, who compared to other matches selected as possible other choices (like Taker vs Punk and Cena vs Bryan) was the shittiest match ever.
BlackWind90 It wasn't even the best Rock match since he came back. The first Cena/Rock was better and definitely Punk/Rock at the Royal Rumble the SAME DAMN YEAR!!!
Bullet 285, that way WWE's 2013 Match of the Year. Why it wasn't even nominated for it at the Slammy's that year is beyond me. Cena vs. Rock II, was not only a match that didn't need to happen. It was a match we didn't want to see.
Smarky Kryptonite, a part of putting someone over is making them look good. Which he definitely did at least for The Rock because he really, REALLY sucked during that run. It was clear CM Punk was the one pulling the strings during their matches and he could have just as easily made The Rock look like a fucking idiot.
Jeff Pryce It always somehow comes back to that asshole hhh. Of course put his shitty matches with Brock on the nominees when clearly he was outperformed by Punk on every level with Brock in 2013
You're talking about an Award show that gave Roman Reigns superstar of the year even though he was out most of the year to an injury over Seth Rollins in 2014. The same show that gave Neville Breakout superstar even though he did nothing relevant in 2015 over Kevin Owens who DEFEATED JOHN CENA HIS FIRST NIGHT ON THE MAIN ROSTER, was the defending NXT champion when that happened and by the end of the year had already won the IC title. So much credibility from the slammies 😏
If you noticed in the video package for Daniel Bryan at Mania 30, they made a point to not show that it was Cena who lost that night... Honestly believe that WWE wants you to forget the match ever happened.
wrestlingbuff87 it's because Cena had nothing to do with the story, and they did mention in the package that the Authority didn't want him as champion.
I like John Cena just because I remember when he first became the big guy for wrestling, my grandma (she loves wrestling) used to cheer for him like crazy. Imagine a 70+ Mexican woman yelling JOHN CENA! 😂😂 funniest thing is I'm not even exaggerating. She did the the same for The Rock. I won't lie tho I also like John Cena for his out of ring character. I don't really care how many WWE fans hate him, I'll always get excited to see him in the ring or just making a funny public appearance.
If Punk can put up a fight against Lesnar, in a No DQ match nonetheless, so can Finn Bálor. I'm not saying let Finn completely over power Brock but he can at least put on a performance similar to Punk's by out manuvering Brock by using his speed and quickness. Should make for a very entertaining match and storyline.
On the Summer Slam reactions, it was Plumpy & Pacitti (Sharing predictions) against Jack. If Jack won, the two would be banned from the reactions. If Plumpy and Pacitti won, Plumpy would get the name Adam back. The two won, and now Plumpy is no more. Welcome back Adam!
There is only one thing I would change about this PPV (besides having Bryan leave still WWE Champion) was to have Christian win the World Heavyweight Championship for a 3rd time, that would have been great, and he could've dropped it right back to Del Rio on Raw the next night. This PPV was also the moment CM Punk realized that he was no longer the man fans where behind, as Daniel Bryan passed him by and never looked back.
Perhaps of greater interest to Orton's MiTB cash-in is that he was the first to ever turn either heel or face as he did so, CM Punk's '09 turn happened gradually during the weeks after he cashed in on Jeff Hardy.
The Triple H heel turn was bizarre to me. I started watching wrestling at age 6 during the Summer after WrestlMania 22 in 2006. DX had just reformed and so Triple H was a face and continued to be a face throughout my entire wrestling Fandom. So when he turned at Summerslam 2013, seeing a Heel Triple H for the first time was u settling
Kevin Nash booted Punk in the head remember not long after Triple H counted the three count, Nash dropped Punk with a Knive edge powerbomb leading to Del Rio cashing in. And Punk vs. HHH at Vengeance I believe.
Yes I know which means Del Rio was the first to cash in successfully on a newly crowned WWE Champion not Orton. Orton's win was two years after the fact.
Boggles my mind that people are so fond of the "storytelling" involved with Orton cashing in on Bryan (this video calls it "peerless"). It retroactively became good storytelling after Bryan won the title at 'Mania XXX, but when he lost to Orton at Summerslam WWE had no plans to put the title back on him. The Yes Movement was real. Batista was going to win the title at 'Mania XXX, and Bryan was going to wrestle Sheamus. Orton cashing in at Summerslam wasn't intended to be the first chapter in a great story --- it retroactively became that first step by complete accident.
TBA Channel Despite what internet people say....Punk and Bryan weren't draws. They didn't add new viewers to the product. Ratings and buy rates declined. Is it a coincidence that the trend of "part timers" main eventing, coincides with Punk and Bryan pushes in 2012??
@@YellowBrickRoad-x1f well,part timers coming back hasn't made anything better.blaming everything on the performers when they don't have any creative control is utterly moronic.
Pay attention. Daniel Bryan cashed-in on the World Heavyweight Championship, not the WWE Championship which is what he was talking about and he even said in the video that this doesn't include the WHC title.
CM PUNK DEFEAT THE SHIELD (TLC 2013). CM PUNK COULD NOT DEFEAT THE UNDERTAKER AT WRESTLEMANIA. ONE MEMBER OF THE SHIELD DEFEAT THE UNDERTAKER AT WRESTLEMANIA.
as much as i like to find this illogical, undertaker was older and defeated by brock. reigns could have improved is wrestling skills since losing to cm punk, and breaking up with the shield

BlackWind90 The most insane thing is the fact that Punk did nothing than giving plenty of matches of the Year
Taker VS Punk was forgettable as fuck
BlackWind90 you tell em
BlackWind90 only reason why won is because people were stupid enough to think that the rock would show up.
BlackWind90 It wasn't even the best Rock match since he came back. The first Cena/Rock was better and definitely Punk/Rock at the Royal Rumble the SAME DAMN YEAR!!!
Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk was probably one of the best Summerslam matches in recent memory.
Agreed
Bullet 285 Yep. It just an all out war. Probably brock's last great match before he started resorting to the suplex city bullshit
Bullet 285, that way WWE's 2013 Match of the Year. Why it wasn't even nominated for it at the Slammy's that year is beyond me. Cena vs. Rock II, was not only a match that didn't need to happen. It was a match we didn't want to see.
Nick Cervenka, his 2015 match resume was pretty good. And the Main Event at this year's Summerslam was epic.
Bullet 285 *of all time
Punk had a great 2013. He delivered in all his big match situations that year.
(Royal Rumble vs the Rock, WM vs The Undertaker, SS vs Brock Lesnar)
he had to put them over though.
Smarky Kryptonite, a part of putting someone over is making them look good. Which he definitely did at least for The Rock because he really, REALLY sucked during that run. It was clear CM Punk was the one pulling the strings during their matches and he could have just as easily made The Rock look like a fucking idiot.
Punk vs Lesnar was so great that WWE didn't even put it on the nominees for Match of the Year
AlKaido Beast Well that was won by Cena-Rock 2: Electric Boogaloo. So make of that what you will.
It's the Slammies, a fake Awards ceremony. And everybody knows the awards are rigged
Jeff Pryce It always somehow comes back to that asshole hhh. Of course put his shitty matches with Brock on the nominees when clearly he was outperformed by Punk on every level with Brock in 2013

Apparently, both men got applauded by everyone when they came backstage after the match
Calling Cena a pretty tough dude is like calling Eva Marie a pretty shit wrestler
witch is true
Cena is not tough tho
@@codeword632 You must be stupid tho
Daniel Bryan wrestled with an Injured neck that night and it was also his last Summerslam as an active Wrestler.
If you noticed in the video package for Daniel Bryan at Mania 30, they made a point to not show that it was Cena who lost that night... Honestly believe that WWE wants you to forget the match ever happened.
wrestlingbuff87
Except WWE released the entire match onto youtube for free before Summerslam 2017
wrestlingbuff87 I wanna forget it just for how they booked Bryan to be a brainless punching bag after the fact.
They made it seem like he never won a world title in the video package
wrestlingbuff87 it's because Cena had nothing to do with the story, and they did mention in the package that the Authority didn't want him as champion.
wrestlingbuff87 because it wasnt supposed to happen lol
I like John Cena just because I remember when he first became the big guy for wrestling, my grandma (she loves wrestling) used to cheer for him like crazy.

Criminally underrated SummerSlam
That "I'm Adam" overdub haha
If Punk can put up a fight against Lesnar, in a No DQ match nonetheless, so can Finn Bálor. I'm not saying let Finn completely over power Brock but he can at least put on a performance similar to Punk's by out manuvering Brock by using his speed and quickness. Should make for a very entertaining match and storyline.
Demon Prince punk is taller and heavier than balor and needed weapons in the match to be able to level the playing field
Demon Prince punk is much more buff than finn and struggled against brock
Goku Black Brock cheated to win lol
Blazing Destruction when did i say he cheated or not?
Blazing Destruction is a heel genius
They edited in "Im adam from Whatculture dot com"
Yeah, what happened? He's not Plumpy anymore?
On the Summer Slam reactions, it was Plumpy & Pacitti (Sharing predictions) against Jack. If Jack won, the two would be banned from the reactions. If Plumpy and Pacitti won, Plumpy would get the name Adam back. The two won, and now Plumpy is no more. Welcome back Adam!
Or maybe it was the plan all along..

1:01 a dark match is a match the is not televised and only people in the arena can see it this match was on the Pre show and it on youtube
This video made my day, the image of the two indy guys with the big long haired ref was me :) it was at the Elks Lodge in Flushing, NY.
Perhaps of greater interest to Orton's MiTB cash-in is that he was the first to ever turn either heel or face as he did so, CM Punk's '09 turn happened gradually during the weeks after he cashed in on Jeff Hardy.
Love this series
Yeah, the main event for this Summerslam was good but it was no Melina vs Alicia Fox.
Honorable mention:
It’s the first and only Summerslam to have 2 WWE championship title changes in the same night
That WWE 2k14 panel is still the best video game panel to date.

Punk vs Brock is one of my favorite matches ever
1 fact about a panel
1 fact about a fan convention
and 8 facts about Summerslam.
The Triple H heel turn was bizarre to me. I started watching wrestling at age 6 during the Summer after WrestlMania 22 in 2006.
DX had just reformed and so Triple H was a face and continued to be a face throughout my entire wrestling Fandom.

SummerSlam 2013 is true classic
Didn't Del Rio cash in on Punk after he had just won the WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2011? You know the beginning of the Summer of Punk.
Raymond Lewis he wanted to put punk then kicked him in the head and proceeded to celebrate in the crowd
Kevin Nash booted Punk in the head remember not long after Triple H counted the three count, Nash dropped Punk with a Knive edge powerbomb leading to Del Rio cashing in. And Punk vs. HHH at Vengeance I believe.
Raymond Lewis that was in 2011
Yes I know which means Del Rio was the first to cash in successfully on a newly crowned WWE Champion not Orton. Orton's win was two years after the fact.
No at summerslam 2011 it was a punk as wwe champ and cena as wwe champ so it was a unification match so if either of them won they retained
CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar was the best WWE match of 2013
5:49
Batista sorta did that at the chamber in 2010 against Cena but he didn’t have the briefcase. They just gave it to him 😂😂
Although it was for the World Heavyweight Championship, it also happened at Money In The Bank 2011 with Kane cashing in on Rey Mysterio.
Boggles my mind that people are so fond of the "storytelling" involved with Orton cashing in on Bryan (this video calls it "peerless"). It retroactively became good storytelling after Bryan won the title at 'Mania XXX, but when he lost to Orton at Summerslam WWE had no plans to put the title back on him. The Yes Movement was real.

4:44 "Cena--not being blind or stupid--........
I'm sorry. What happened at Summerslam three years prior again?
It's a shame that it took me so long to realize it, but John Cena is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
So are we just going to ignore that HHH was totally a heel during the summer of Punk until his match with Nash?
That match with Cena at Summerslam made Bryan a main event star, thank god Cena pushed for that match.
