Hart seemed to produce a new SummerSlam highlight every year
The main event of the very first SummerSlam in 1988 was a tag match pitting world champion “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan against “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and Andre The Giant. That formula was followed the very next year, when Hogan teamed with Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake against Savage and Zeus.
Bret Hart wrestled his brother Owen at SummerSlam ’94 in a steel cage match. For over 32 minutes, the two crafted what, up until that point, was the single best world title match in the history of the event.“We never wanted to have a cage match,” Hart told me in 2017. “The truth was, I would have liked to have had a ladder match against Owen. We couldn’t do that because Shawn Michaels had used the idea at WrestleMania .
“A cage is generally a gory, hardcore match with a lot of blood,” explained Hart, who also had SummerSlam masterpieces against Mr. Perfect and “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith. “I didn’t want to have that kind of match with Owen. We were two brothers feuding, but we didn’t want to across like we’d kill each other to win. We didn’t go the blood route, but nearly every great cage match has blood.
