[@zj2420]

Big Ben Wallace Only because Jacks a bitch

[@MegamanNG]

I don't mind him being called Plumpy.

[@adriansmith5279]

Yep on of the reason I love Adam 👏👏👏

[@kay5365]

Y does he tho?

[@suggestiveguy]

Wrestlemania: Springslam, Summerslam: Summerslam Survivor Series:FallSlam/Autumnslam Royal Rumble:Winterslam

[@ImmortalTekkerss]

GFW should hire you.

[@alextindall5343]

Suggestion Guy Raw : Weeklyslam

[@suggestiveguy]

Ryder Wilson I'm very creative

[@KovuJenkai]

Survivor Series: Summerslam Royal Rumble: The other Summerslam Wrestlemania: Autumnslam Summerslam: Winterslam

[@suggestiveguy]

Ryder Wilson wait a second ryder's family is Wilson?

[@harrisonwhite5548]

Can't wait for 28 more of these....

[@baselb99]

Harrison White 27*

[@deanbecenti9769]

Basel B no he's right sumerslam Is turning 30 this year this is the first sumerslam still 28 to go to reach 29th annual sumerslam

[@baselb99]

Dean Becenti yeah you're right sorry but tbh I didn't think of it I just remembered plumpy saying so in the vid

[@JulioHernandez-wy8nh]

We need the Facts about: Royal Rumble No Mercy Survivor Series

[@yura50597]

Rick Rude and Jake Roberts in Moostache vs Moostache match

[@yura50597]

Damnit I meant Roberts,but Savage was on my mind and I typed his name in.

[@TheMuldoonFella]

Justsomeguy You! On the booking team! Now!

[@sgtlegacy7]

Is it me or is that Summerslam Megapowers poster the best Summerslam promotion poster ever!

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

It's not just you because it is

[@TKO9871]

Braun should win the universal championship. Take it off the part-time Bork

[@braun316saysiamnotfinished9]

King of Burying Triple H Brock >Braun

[@TKO9871]

Wrestling Emperor hahahahahahahahahahah NO Braun is better for business than the guy who appears once or twice a month

[@danaddison01]

King of Burying Triple H Nah Joe.

[@TheGreatSplodge]

Daniel Addison Let's face it. Reigns is going to win.

[@MauFerrer2000]

Braun or Samoa Joe would be a good idea. They can win the title without pinning Lesnar and if WWE wants Lesnar vs Reigns at WM, they can win the title in January and defend it at WM

[@Ridge8516]

I know that Summerslam is considered the second main PPV after Wrestlemania, but I tend to think the Royal Rumble is more important since it usually sets up the "Road to Wrestlemania."

[@zakbexon9510]

I agree

[@johnepants]

It’s funny because for the first 3 years I always viewed it as the Wrestlemania fall out show PPV version. The main event was usually a carry over from the events of Wrestlemania, and the lower card was filled in with some good matches and feuds that were brought on during the late spring and early summer

[@BIGDAZR]

The highlight of the show was the fink getting knocked off the ring apron by the warrior

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

I remember this Summerslam like it was yesterday My Uncle took my younger brother and cousin to that event, I couldn't ho because I was sick but my brother brought back the program with Elizabeth looking overhrt shoulder holding back Hogan and Savage Great memories

[@thethrillcollins]

lol "Oscar Nominated No Holds Barred"

[@colmmcnicholas7384]

Can't wait for the rest of this series. Good job plumpy

[@jcp1977]

THANK YOU WHAT CULTURE WRESTLING IT'S WHAT I'VE WAITED FOR.

[@DroptheMike22]

Plumpy your voice is like butter to my ears 😍😍😍

[@benconley612]

Nice vid Adam

[@AcornPlays]

Been waiting for this for ages seeing the articles come up on the website

[@Happytremereinc]

I love these series of videos!!!

[@aalamahmad25]

Yaaaayyy a daily dose of Plumpy

[@thefacethatrunstheplace4762]

Braun Strowman Should win Universal Championship at Summerslam

[@sikwilly45]

One of the Warrior "title wins" before SS was at the Wheeling Civic Center. My best friend was there.

[@nathanrivers3707]

4:45 It's 1988 Plumpy not '98

[@bookaki4160]

Technically Royal Rumble became a PPV in 89 , cuz it was just a TV special in 88...making SummerSlam runner-up in terms of the youngest PPV

[@zanethind]

Hell yes I would've loved to see Flair vs Savage Champion vs Champion at SS'88

[@Lipumamania1980]

F'n love these that you do!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jonpower9728]

Fascinating Fact #11: WAY BACK IN 1988, WWE was called WWF!

[@jacobwhite5890]

Jon Power good for you

[@vids2002]

6:08 Yay, basically my home town

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

You guys need to make these "Fascinating Facts" videos into a playlist (or several, one for each PPV brand covered).

[@daedralord1]

27 summerslam vids on the way, fee free to thank plump everyone..........i mean it, fucking thank him!!

[@diddyknux]

If nothing else, at least these make sure Plumpy always has something to do.

[@1119nj]

An 11th fact can also be added: most of the talent from Summer Slam 88 is dead. And also from Summer Slam 89...'97 and most other bug events from those days.

[@markmccallum475]

I swear back in the day the arenas for summerslam used to be huge. now it looks like the size of a raw show. Maybe it was the lighting.

[@MrPie]

The Oscar-Nominated No Holds Barred.

[@davesmith4839]

Wow I thought wow it's cool to know all those facts about summerslam but then I realized that I'm a year older than summerslam and got sad, damn I'm getting old. :(

[@m.y1152]

[@michaelcrosby6804]

Thank God for Plumpy #FireJackTheJobber

[@battlestarmarc]

[@lewismisseldine5847]

I'm looking forward to these

[@stuartalexandernap]

adam... this is going to be a long wait to Summerslam, but the Wrestlemania and King of the Ring videos were interesting fun and nostalgic, though now you have no excuse for not doing survivor series and the rumble

[@jerszu1]

Yes you did summerslam!!!

[@JulioHernandez-wy8nh]

jerszu1 we need No Mercy and Survivor Series

[@gobussmearnoff]

[@markbarlow3275]

[@MikeyStoneking]

YES!!!! Thank you!!! :-)

[@anandwataney549]

SummerSlam 1988! During the Rick Rude fact

[@ethann.3050]

I can not wait for summerslam 1989, the one when the sign fell😂

[@Shadowkiller-dq2ju]

If Adam didn’t leave you think we would’ve have Survivor series and Royal Rumble lists

[@jonstefanik9400]

Nearly 30 years ago I can't believe it

[@leogetz3570]

Did he say "Sharpsville Indiana" as the "C" show? Where the hell did they wrestle? This town is like 500 people

[@Radman1889]

We're doing SummerSlam, BayBayeee!

[@kevinfrank8164]

Volume is all over the place

[@mateo427]

Here we go again

[@sebastianraphaelbiggs127]

FASCINATING

[@BrandonHcpt]

10 facts about Summerslam 1989 tomorrow

[@californiaraised2000]

My first ever pay per view was summer slam 2009

[@DcSensai]

anyone else bugged that he still is saying "did we MISS any OUT"

[@Averageguy1888]

No Holds Barred was a Oscar nomination???

[@mbcmbc5801]

Thought they are dead ...Fascinating facts 😕

[@heyyou9693]

Ravashing Rick was in more pay-per-views after SummerSlam 88. He beat Warrior in mania 5 for intercontinental title.

[@alexisgreen-hernandez4709]

Classic!!😊😎

[@ronaldsprowal9978]

Ok I'm watch all theses

[@courtneymerritt777]

I love Adams singing voice

[@itsdiv4203]

4:30 1988 not 1998, I swear he does this half the time to see if anyone notices

[@joncurtis199]

@7:25...1 down, 27 to go, 29 days. Good luck plumpy.

[@jaysonlikes]

Did you Know: The first 5 Summerslams all featured the Intercontinental title changing hands.

[@49baybridge]

summerslam 98, stone cold vs taker, best summerslam match

[@Dibby0156]

And so it begins again.

[@sethbudrik8906]

Seriously, Adam B. is a great singer.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663]

Roddy Piper NEVER wrestled at a Summer Slam...

[@erikstensaas1202]

To be fair, boxing and MMA fight quality can be a crapshoot given that they can be done in a matter of seconds

[@SteelyBud]

I know Jake the Snake got involved in Rick Rude's match, but why didn't they wrestle each other at Summerslam, since they were already feuding? It would have drawn big, but they both had other, less interesting matches. Anybody know why?

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Damn, that pic of Brooke Hogan.

[@TJDious]

WHOA-OH WHOA-OH WRESTLEMANIA PLUMP IT UP PLUMP IT UP PLUMP IT UP!!!

[@xNobodyOfConsequenceX]

I LOVE BINGLEY!!!!

[@artvasch147]

28... fucking hell...

[@thetruecish]

Who has the more gaudy suits? Vince or Cena?

[@philrobinson3292]

However much fun it is to make fun of Vinnie for his bad business decisions, you never get anywhere in business without taking chances. It's taking chances which has made vince so much money

[@wozthescott2804]

Adams face turn....

[@mjstory1976]

I am watching all the SummerSlams from worst to best

[@delvinhuncho3999]

It's fucking 6AM but I love what culture

[@ethann.3050]

YEAH SUMMERSLAM FACTS

[@slattz9754]

I thought wrestle mania debuted in 1984

[@realshompa]

Turner did not buy NWA , like this video states.

[@thetruecish]

I'll pretend Plumpy didn't say "1998" during the Rick Rude portion.

[@braun316saysiamnotfinished9]

Who should be next Universal champion? Roman Joe Braun Rollins Finn balor

[@ndr523]

Wrestling Emperor Ellsworth

[@braun316saysiamnotfinished9]

nick hurns He should be next WWE champion

[@bullet2852]

Roman, he hasn't won a top title in over a year.

[@chyup]

Wrestling Emperor Braun cause it's about time he earned it

[@ewanmacdonald728]

Wrestling Emperor Bruno Sanmartino

[@jayayer4308]

Uploaded at 4 A.M.

[@charliem9831]

He never heard the original summerslam theme ... I'm calling into question his wrestling credibility

[@247marquis]

Why start this when you didn't finish the KOTR lists?

[@Halloweenman33]

They did finish. The last one they covered was the last KOTR pay-per-view.

[@247marquis]

Halloweenman33 no, the last one that was posted was KOTR 2002. no mention of the KOTR Booker T won or Wade Barrett. So there is at least 2 more that haven't been covered.

[@infectedjinjer]

247marquis you're an idiot.. those weren't king of the ring ppvs *facepalm*

[@1stHandTV]

I knew they would do this lol

[@adriansmith5279]

28 Summerslams 😂😂 Poor Plumpy, call me when y'all reach to 2000.

[@mikepeterson764]

I remember Brooke Hogans TNA....

[@zanethind]

You'd think Vince would know why his wrestlers had drug problems by telling them to work more and more and harder

[@ImMagnetz]

Plumpy lists >

[@juliooquendo220]

Didn't they do this last year because it is beginning look like memory lane or something

[@ysonline]

7:47 ffs
