SummerSlam 2005: Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan

This match is great just for the way HBK performs. You have to see it to believe it. Was he being a jerk? Maybe, but he was playing the heel. And he did everything he could to make Hogan look like he actually had any power.

One of my favorite ladder matches. Before all these young punks like Edge and Hardy, who try to say they're the kings of ladder matches - everyone knows HBK is the true king of the ladder match.

Hard not to love any of the matches involving these three teams back in the day.

This one is just a really fun match, and was the starting point for HBK's incredible heel turn in 1997.

A solid ladder match with two of the greatest.

HBK's unbelievable return to the ring. He did things in this match that made me cringe!

SummerSlam 2008: The Undertaker vs Edge in a Hell in a Cell Match

Anytime you've got these two, it's going to be great. Surprisingly, this is one of the few good Undertaker matches in all of SummerSlam history. (the other one I've got above!)

If I remember right this was a rematch from InVasion.
