My Top 5 Reasons Why I Love Summerslam.
5. Timing.
It's no secret that I love Summerslam. I feel that the timing behind this is perfect. When Mania comes around each year I find in some cases that it can leave me feeling a bit lethargic, but when Summerslam comes around, I feel a bit refreshed. This build normally makes me feel a bit more excited. With Mania taking 2 months to get to the fireworks factory, Summerslam's build normally tends to feel a bit more snug. And this years build has been fairly steller if I say so myself.
4. The Matches That Stole The Show.
This PLE doesn't always Match up to it's predecessor, but when it comes to Matches, that's a different story. The examples come from my childhood. HHH vs The Rock In a Ladder Match from 1998. The first TLC Match. Bret Hart vs The Undertaker from 1997. And how can I forget Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog from Wembley in 1992. I could go on.
3. This Time Of Year.
When Summerslam came around as a kid. I would get excited, but I would also feel a bit sad, because yes my favourite event was around the corner, but so was the start of going back to school, and the dreaded trip to go and get back to school clothes. I used to dread this.
2. Match Of The Year Contenders.
This falls into the same category as The Matches That Stole The Show. Because multiple Matches have ended up on my best of the year lists when it comes to December. Case and point. HHH vs Brock Lesnar, and. Cm Punk vs Brock Lesnar, This event can create fantastic talking points. I just want to add that I don't condone what Brock has been accused of. I'm using these as examples because these were the first ones to come to my mind.
1. Money For The State.
When WWE head into any area acrooss the globe. It's known that good things come to those cities, whether it's fan meet and greets from fanatics, who are WWE's merch distributor, to the local community getting an influx of money due to live revenue. It's important to say that the WWE in communities brand can be used for good, even though they can be seen as a view for hypocrisy.
