Jericho reverses and puts on the figure four. He misses the Lionsault and eats more chops before Flair tries the Walls. Jericho attempts the Walls but gets pull into an inside cradle for two. Flair hits another back body drop because his offense was a bit limited at this time and it continues with more short punches. Showboating on the top does Jericho in when Flair slams him off. Jericho chokes Flair with his wrist tape but Flair just comes back with chops. I feel like any Flair match with Charles Robinson as the referee could be a conspiracy. Second rope dropkick from Jericho gets a two count. In the ring, Jericho badmouths Flair with each shot and does his awesome little dance. The match goes outside with Jericho being the aggressor. Flair sends Jericho over but he skins the cat, only to get chops and short punches. We start with mat wrestling and Flair struts after getting the upper hand. He was at the 1992 show, but didn't wrestle. Surprisingly, this is the first ever SummerSlam match for the Nature Boy. They will share the General Manager's office for the evening. In the back, Stephanie McMahon finds Eric Bischoff in her office after she brags about her awesome Smackdown match. The crowd was hot and the action was great. Rey Mysterio looked like a million bucks and Kurt Angle looked like the best wrestler in the world. ![]() Rey has no choice but to tap.Įxcellent opener. He nails a springboard dropkick with Kurt up top and goes for a top rope hurricanrana but Kurt counters into an Ankle Lock somehow! That was badass. He breaks free and hits the 619, followed by the West Coast Pop but gets one of the closest two counts ever. Rey leaps onto Kurt's shoulders, but gets slammed down into the Ankle Lock. A springboard leg drop earns Rey a near fall as the crowd is totally into this. As the ref bends through the second rope to talk to Angle, Rey leaps over him in a cool spot. With Kurt outside, Rey goes to fly but the referee stops him. Again, as soon as Rey seems to get momentum, Kurt hits a big belly to belly and the STRAPS ARE DOWN! Angle Slam is countered into an arm drag though. Rey reverses with a pin but gets clotheslined down instantly. Single leg Lion Tamer of sorts gets locked on and looks painful as hell. Kurt has a counter for every high risk move that Rey tries including a big sidewalk slam. The story here seems to be that Angle is doing his best to ground Rey, which makes perfect sense. Back inside, Kurt hits a ridiculous German suplex but Rey counters a second attempt with a rollup. ![]() Rey misses the 619 and Angle pulls him out of the ring hard. A dropkick and monkey flip follows as things are off to a quick start. Rey Mysterio appears behind Kurt and is all like “WHOS THAT JUMPING OUT THE SKY” as he springboard hurricanranas Angle to start. This was the peak of 2002 in my opinion, but let's see if the show is as good as I remember. The rest of the card is stacked with Kurt Angle, Edge, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam and a LOT more. Brock Lesnar gets his first shot at the Undisputed Championship, while Shawn Michaels makes his historic return to the ring after a four year retirement. Granted, I haven't seen it in a long time but it's the show that I was most excited to get to in this year. I've always considered the 2002 SummerSlam to be the very best in the history of that annual blockbuster. August 25th, 2002 – Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York – Attendance: 14,797
