The sad news came to me from a tweet from Matt Terl, which was posted at http://dcrtv.com/. Anyone that is local to DC surely knows George Michael, who was a sportscaster best known nationally for his long-running American sports highlights show called The George Michael Sports Machine. Started as...

A ton of people will think this should have been #1. Alright, we are in the home stretch with this countdown now. Today, I will be posting #3 & #2, with #1 going up a little before tomorrow night's SUMMERSLAM. This SUMMERSLAM took place at Wembley Stadium in London on August 29, 1992, but...
Greatest Summerslam Matches: (#4) Bret Hart vs "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig- IC Title- SS91
Holy crap, they booked this match to go 2nd on the card?!? What many people forget about this match is, Hennig was considered a better talent than Hart at the time. The WWE thought they were taking a major chance on Bret and called on Hennig to carry Hart to a match that would make the fans take...
Greatest Summerslam Matches: (#9) Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio- "Custody of Dominic" ladder match - SS05

Uh oh, it's our first mention of you know who! Benoit had defeated HHH for the World Title at Wrestlemania just a few months before, and had defeated him in rematches leading up to Summerslam. When it was time to name an opponent for the World Title match at Summerslam, HHH's stablemate in...

Karl Von Hess died early this morning at the age of 90 years old. He was the first heel to take the Nazi gimmick national in a post WWII world. Classic wrestling videos after the jump.

The main event of Summerslam 1997 featured three of the biggest stars of the late 90s. The following is taken from SLAM SPORTS' story posted the night of the event. Going into the match of his life, The Hit Man was against great odds. The American crowd was seated solidly in The Undertaker's...
