Wrestlemania is always the best and biggest event of the year, but it's closley followed by Summerslam, this event has had some classic matches in the past such as Bret Hart v Mr Perfect, Bret v British Bulldog, HBK v Razor and hundreds more. This particular even from 2002 is in my opinion the best Summerslam since 10 years previous. There are some great matches involved, all big stars and great action. The event kicks off with Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio, this was Rey's first big event with the WWE and he didn't diappoint, this was a wonderful macth, a mesh of technical wreslting and high flying action, this is 12 minutes that just fly past.

However, the mix of talents here came at wrestling's final peak, in my opinion, and it shows on this DVD offering. Match 1: Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle. A very strong opening and a solid way to get the crowd pumped. The masked Mysterio, with his razor sharp aerial attacks (commonly known as Lucha Libre in Mexico) ...  Read the complete review

Following a solid Vengeance event the month before, Summerslam 2002, in Long Island, New York was headlined by the 2002 King of the Ring winner Brock Lesnar and WWE Undisputed Champion The Rock, with the championship up for grabs. At the time, Lesnar was built up as an unstoppable monster, with a ruthless personality and accompanied by the loudmouthed Paul Heyman, while the Rock, just returning from Hollywood, was seen as the perfect foil to stop this young upstart. Also on the show was the return of Shawn Michaels, after over 4 years of inactivity due to back injury, against Triple H in an non-sanctioned match. During the time, many wondered whether Michaels had it in ..  Read the complete review
