1. A Battle in Wembly – SummerSlam 1992
Number one on the list is occupied by another Intercontinental Championship match. It shows you how important that title was in the old school era.
Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart defended his championship against British Bulldog in the main-event of SummerSlam 1992 in front of 80,000 people in a jam-packed Wembly Stadium in Bulldog’s hometown of London. That sentence already explains how amazing the moment would have been. The Intercontinental Championship had never closed a PPV before, and neither had Bret or Bulldog in a one-on-one match with other people. With the highest attended SummerSlam in history cheering for both men, the crowd erupted as Bulldog emerged victorious as the new Intercontinental Champion, valiantly winning it in front of his people.
This match is one of the greatest IC title matches ever, although there are a few false moves in the bout. Bret carried the match and proved he belonged in the main-event picture, eventually winning his first WWF Championship a few months later. Bulldog was going through personal problems at the time, which included a barrage of injuries and pain, yet managed to create the greatest SummerSlam moment in history. It is a beautiful contest to watch with an amazing electricity accompanied.
