[@bookaki4160]

Fun Fact about the opener: Mysterio was hiding underneath the ring with his mask off waiting for the cue to sneak attack Kurt, hence him being in a rush to get it on and not having time to get it on properly which is why he keeps adjusting it...

[@bookaki4160]

@Bhumi Rushing iirc he had a monitor under the ring with him for his cue and I'm guessing wearing the mask obstructed his view so he took it off

[@jongon0848]

@Bhumi Rushing because he snuck into the bottom of the ring from the crowd. I'm pretty sure the crowd would figure out who he is if he wore his mask in plain sight like nothing.

[@SuperBattleOstrich]

@@bookaki4160 q0pp

[@MrOs10tatious]

I always thought it was because he kept smelling Kurt's farts

[@Alsebra]

​​@@jongon0848, while his mask would be basically a dead giveaway, it's not like he was an unknown entity...he went maskless for a good while in WCW, so people knew what he looked like (and those near the front would easily tell what was happening if a guy asked them to scoot aside so he could hop the barrier). In any case, Mysterio was still coming off his WCW run in the lead-up to this event...he signed in June 2002 and debuted July 2002 (this event was August), so he wasn't just some random new signee...

[@TheArbiter64]

I'm pretty sure Steph laughed at Eric because she later would steal Brock Lesnar from Raw and therefore the WWE Undisputed championship.

[@TheArbiter64]

NerdCafe Brock was dominating everybody at this point. Dude put away Hogan easily who, in kayfabe, has Godlike endurance. Its not a stretch to say she was very confident Brock would beat Rock.

[@GAMERPRO-wz5en]

Leo Ropes Well Rock and Brock were both at their best so in kayfabe Stephanie would have decided before hand to persuade who ever won the title to be execlusive to smackdown.

[@MrPie]

Leo Ropes That's it exactly. I thought the same thing.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

Ryan Webb Yeah, for some reason, I had an attraction to Stephanie McMahon when she was SmackDown General Manager during that time.

[@garyswann3292]

Such a good match, one of my favorites too. I remember being a little kid and thinking, damn, RVD won’t win this one his ponytail came undone..... oh how wrong I was

[@donhill1825]

Wicked good? I smell a fellow Masshole.

[@intuitivelymagician2076]

underrated

[@420jamamaw]

That's because it was wicked good.

[@cagedsexybeast]

If I remember correctly, Lance Storm said that Christian and Test were concerned about backlash in their personal lives from the UnAmericans gimmick, as both lived in the US and were concerned about what friends and neighbours would think. It wasn't much of an issue for Storm because he lived in Canada, and despite living in Atlanta, Regal wasn't bothered as he 'didn't like any of his neighbours anyway'. Also, both Test and Christian were asked to cut their hair like Storm's so that all the group members looked alike. Christian was reluctant as he wanted to cut his hair eventually, but wanted the decision to have more meaning than just to fit into a stable, and he didn't want it as short as Storm's. Test was more vocal about the matter, telling Vince he didn't want to look like a 'fucking idiot'. This may or may not have been part of the reason the group was split, leaving Regal and Storm to continue as a tag team.

[@The_Real_DCT]

TheOneInBetween well not only that but Regal has that old school mindset where you weren't doing your role as a heel right until you had fans trying to kill you.

[@mrkipling2201]

​@@The_Real_DCT Regal is great. I love everything he's done in wrestling and continues to do. Plus he's from England as well, which is even better!!

[@johnenigma8506]

To your point on the Un Americans, it was in 2002 and we as a country were still recovering from the 9/11 attacks. So I can imagine that had something to do with everybody but William Regal being frightened by the amount of the heat they got.

[@davidjsaul]

Regal is a legit bad ass though!

[@ninoseason2716]

Funny story Rey said on his 619 DVD he said that when he was under the ring his mask came off so he almost missed his spot but the mask wasn't on right

[@Pudward69]

How does no one mention the weird part of the Intercontinental Championship match, where RVD's ponytail comes undone, and he finishes the match with his hair all out. A strange thing, because it is the only time I have ever seen RVD without the ponytail in a match.

[@StoneCold-Stutter]

Robert James George lol yeah I remember that

[@michaelbandada9887]

Rvd and benoit are putting a classic out there...that match along with the hbk vs hhh unsanctioned match are the best matches overall in the summerslam 2002 ppv

[@coolinwithq2405]

That’s how brutal the match was with Benoit for sure.

[@aztecwrrior1997]

I gotta watch that

[@dcoker9738]

It happened in the prior beniot vs RVD match on raw as well

[@dyhall]

Amazing how little Brock has changed in the last 15 years... same manager, same theme music. Besides his move set, the only major change is that his trunks are longer.

[@fuscinula]

And more (terrible) tattoos.

[@JoeyMartz]

And he looks old as fuck

[@coreylineberry8557]

And he wasn't sponsored by a sandwich Shop.

[@KasumiRINA]

Liking the PPV reviews! I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't follow wrestling but digs videos about it. It's obvious how much you love the industry and it shows in how much fun you have as well as how hard you work for your channel.

[@JustChrisTM]

Steph was laughing after Benoit lost to RVD, bc she was taking Lesnar to SD exclusively the next night.

[@tomtalks23]

NerdCafe Because it would have been a foregone conclusion that Brock was going to be a huge star, he was the hottest new wrestler and signing him would be a huge get. The Rock had movies on the horizon and wasn't as valuable in the long term. Even without the title, snagging Brock was great for Stephanie in kayfabe.

[@andresgc770]

Because The Rock was a Smackdown wrestler, too. So regardless of who won, the title was staying in her brand. Still, it's likely that she kayfabe assumed/hoped Brock would win, since his deal with her also included SD exclusivity for the title.

[@jdbruiser]

The damage she did to Eric Bischoff's testicles after signing Brock was very severe.

[@flyingshadow69]

That triple Northern Lights was fucking incredible. Miss you Chris.

[@uainjansun]

[@violentbryan21]

[@robertmyles9124]

[@Randios187]

So glad you brought up the camera flashes going off. I stopped watching wrestling for like 12 years, and when I came back, I couldn't put my finger on why moments didn't feel so big, then I watched some old PPVs and noticed the same thing. I love the manic flashing when a huge spot happens. I wish they could get that back somehow!

[@roiped]

11:18 I believe the reason Stephanie was laughing is because she knew that even though Bischoff got the IC Title to Raw, she is going to get Lesnar to SmackDown with the title later on the same week I think..makes sense

[@NLasting]

This video is 5 years old but I wanted to mention how much I agree with the camera flashes adding so much to the presentation. You're completely right in how unfortunate it is that we will never see this again. I didn't grow up with wrestling in this era and I still feel like it's such a missed visual.

[@stonecoldku4161]

Brian I hate to break it you, but part of the reason that I hate on Lesnar now is because I saw him in his prime back in the early 2000's. He is just so one dimensional now. All he does is suplex and F5 with maybe an arm lock thrown in, but remembering how good he was makes it worse. Yeah of course he is older now and would have to scale back a little, but he shouldn't have had to scale back so much in my opinion.

[@speedy932key4]

Kane's Cauldron I recently went back to watch two of Brock's matches against Kurt angle, their match at wrestlemania 19 and their iron man match on raw, and none of matches today will ever compare, and it's because Brock doesn't care anymore. I wouldn't hate Brock so much if he wasn't always winning the title, if wwe booked him like they book John cena or the undertaker, I think that would be better for everyone

[@viletoxxie]

exactly, I grew up on the lesnar who used to be an absolute machine in the ring. now he barely gives a damn and does the same two moves

[@KasumiRINA]

It's even funnier when you consider that F5 is just a variation on TKO, his wife's second finisher. Fireman's Carry cutter/DDT, sometimes with a slight spin.

[@rajeb85]

This Summerslam was my favorite Summerslam. Angle vs Mysterio, HHH vs HBK in a none section, and Rock vs Brock for WWE title were just great.

[@yeerski7]

Its funny how few quality wrestling channels there are.

[@HellmuthOnTilt4]

The reason why Stephanie was laughing is because she knew the undisputed championship was coming at the end.

[@yvansansabri]

Re: The Un-Americans being disbanded: WWE had Canadian dates coming up when the Un-Americans were getting major heat in the US. I believe the first show of those dates was in Montréal (a very vocal crowd when it comes American foreign policy) and with all the angst during the lead up to the Iraq War, it absolutely made sense for them to not be mentioned and completely put aside. Anyway, this is how I remember it.

[@heisensaul5538]

Speaking of stupid reasons to feud: Bret Hart feuded with Jean-Pierre Lafitte over his jacket in 1995.

[@gocanuckurself1]

HeisenSaul Undertaker feuding with Blowman Gayns over being eliminated from the Rumble. Makes Taker look like a whiny bitch.

[@gocanuckurself1]

Johnny Canuck remember when Maven eliminated Taker. He does not take that shit lightly

[@heisensaul5538]

true, Edge and Booker T feuding over shampoo was pretty bad too

[@dylanogg347]

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

Thank you for reviewing this show, Brian. It is my absolute favorite SummerSlam of all time. Fun fact: this show took place on my 10th birthday (August 25th, 2002), so it was a great birthday gift.

[@borednow5838]

My favourite ever Summerslam for sure. This was at a point when WWE had a dream roster (even though they didn't always know what to do with it), and it showed on this night. HBK's comeback could not have gone any better, and loved the opener. Th hype for the Brock-Rock match was great and Rock did a good job in making the younger guy look good. Don't have too much of a problem with the Steph-Eric segments. Think it built the Raw VS. SD feud well and them trying to get one over on each other was kinda cool.

[@sammylane21]

Stephanie didn't look at Benoit,she was looking at Bischoff before laughing for no reason.

[@MEspo]

I was at th is show and it was awesome. The crowd was hot, which made being at the show even more special. Just as a little extra note, The Rock cut a promo after the show was over. I found an old deadjournal entry I had so I know exactly what he said. Rock got the mic and said FINALLY (the arena ERUPTED with boos). FINALLY (boos) THE ROCK (boos) HAS COME BACK (boos)... IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THE ROCK HAS COME BACK! He went to leave the ring, got back in (boos)... IF YA SMELL (boos) SING ALONG WITH THE ROCK IS OVER (boos) and he left the ring. Sorry for all the boos in parentheses, but they were important because The Rock paused every time there were boos. At that point, he was stale as a face and I remember being excited thinking maybe he was going to turn heel soon after the show, but it didn't happen. Even though nothing came from it, crowd was still really hot, even though it was only a post-show segment.

[@stevewright3015]

Michael Esposito they were boring because he was leaving had nothing to do with him being stale.

[@terryrocks2j]

Then he came back later on as Hollywood Rock and everybody loved him no matter how heelish he was.

[@egpmh2891]

The feud between Lillian and Finkle was caused by when Bischoff sent 3 Minute Warning to silence them both during a Raw segment, Finkle shoved her in the way and ran like a coward; This led to him being nicknamed Howard the Coward for months, eventually Lillian's "friend" Trish Stratus calls him out and the mud match is made. This, of course, leads Lillian and Trish to trick Howard at Summerslam months later and thus a kick to the groan.

If I remember rightly the start of the Un Americans storyline was Storm, Christian and Test saying that innocent referee mistakes during some of their matches were part of a conspiracy against Canadians by WWE who were supposedly prejudiced against them like they believed all Americans were. So they were basically sore losers who believed WWE and Americans in general were prejudiced against them because they couldn't take losing matches and that the referees in their matches were trying to screw them out of wins and pass it off as simple mistakes.

This was one of the very few ppvs my family ordered and it was only because of my birthday and wanting to see the Shawn v HHH match and I remember loving all of it thank you for the great review and that's because I haven't even finished watching the video :)

Small Fact: Rey Mysterio kept adjusting his mask due to him dropping it before he put it on when he was under the ring, right before his surprise attack on Kurt

Love the old ppv reviews!!! mostly cuz I stopped watching around 2003-2004 and ppv's before that I have seen. Getting back in with Survivor Series on sun. Not a backer yet but would love to see a review of the wcw ppv in Tacoma where DDP won the title. Can't remember the name but 3 buddies and I made our way from p-town to tacoma to be there when we were 16

29 summerslams soon to be 30 this year but (2002 & 2013) were the best two summerslams of all time

Raman's WrestlingTV As much as I love SummerSlam 2013, I'd put SummerSlam 2000 over it

Yes, Brian. The Fink and Lillian had a feud over announcing job. It didn't last long and the feud ended on a Sunday Night Heat in a Tuxedo vs Nightgown Match. I still remember it and of course, The Fink lost and was running away in his red undies!
