WE NEED 5! - Our Top 5 Summerslam Matches

As part of our "re-branding" process we are going to bringing you "WE NEED 5!" once a month to give you our top 5 picks of a chosen subject. This month we are giving you our top 5 Summerslam matches. Please bare in mind these are just personal choice and preference so your opinion may vary to ours. 

Rules;

• No superstar can appear on the list more than once. 
• No two matches can come from the same PPV 

5. The British Bulldog Vs Bret The Hitman Hart

One hell of a match and one hell of a win for the Bulldog. With the crowd behind him and the pressure on both guys had to deliver a match that the British crowd would never forget. They did this perfectly. The quick pin and the pop for Bulldog. Both men put on a great show and made sure that no one was going to forget the year the Brits had Summerslam. This match is really what made me pay attention to the Bulldog and I always favoured him over Bret from this point on. 

4. Ultimate Warrior vs Honky Tonk Man

In a match where no one suspected that Warrior could beat HTM he got the finish in a damn quick match. HTM had held the title for so long that the crowd truly hated him. He was a great heel and he was the perfect opponent for the already over babyface Ultimate Warrior. Warrior finishes the match after hitting his signature splash and getting the pin. The crowd went nuts and Warrior began his hunt for the WWF championship. This match was chosen because of the crowd reaction, the setting and the fact it lead to much bigger things. It was a loss with purpose.

3. The Rock vs Brock Lesnar

This was a tough decision. I was unsure whether to include this match or The Rock vs HHH vs Kurt Angle. Ultimately I decided upon Rock vs Brock as it lead to Brock Lesnar being declared the youngest ever WWE champ and we saw The Rock give a show of respect to the future UFC WHC. The Rock had never faced an opponent as intense as Brock and Brock had never faced off with the brahma bull. This was truly a phenomenal summerslam match that should be rewatched on the network. The promos with The Rock training for this match as well really gave it a big fight feel. 

2. John Cena vs Daniel Bryan

Quite possibly one of the best matches of last year. Both men put n a great show regardless of the amount of people that will tell you Bryan carried Cena through the match. This match was the point where we all thought Daniel Bryan was going to get the big one and he did........for a bit i guess. Then of course we had the whole authority angle, the Daniel Bryan hunt for redemption and a Batitsta return all due to this angle. Of course its in the top 5. 

1. TLC

3 of the best teams WWE has ever had to offer in my opinion. 3 teams all with heat. 3 teams all with grudges and 3 teams all with a want for gold. They took the elements that all 3 teams were good at (tables, Ladders and chairs) and rolled them all into one big match. There are far too many good spots and moments to discuss but Jeff Hardy taking a spear from Edge while swinging from the belts was incredible. Every man in this match too an extraordinary bump at some point and gave their bodies to ensure that this was a 5 star match. Also every man went on to hold singles titles at some point too. I believe Devon was the only one to not hold a heavy weight title of some description but never the less he was just as vital at making one of the most iconic wwe matches of the last 25 years.
