Yeah, I agree. I cannot believe this is rated at 5.8... this is without doubt the best SummerSlam of all-time...and for my money, one of the best wreslting pay-per-views of all-time...
It was a huge event -- the PPV buyrates were massive. And Stone Cold's victory over Undertaker really helped put Austin to another level. Before this event, Undertaker had never lost a match clean; he always lost by cheat or interference. Austin was the first wrestler to ever beat The Phenom straight up. No matter that their match wasn't good, it was still important
As a child in New York in 1998, I remember begging my parents to get tickets to see this event at Madison Square Garden. We didn't get the tickets, but we still watched on PPV at home
I don't follow wrestling but my college professor is a big fan. He told me the Undertaker lost several matches clean prior to this. They were to the Ultimate Warrior and some of them were body bag matches. This was in the early 90s and probably could be found on youtube
shareNah, the matches with Warrior weren't clean. Warrior hit Undertaker with an urn. It's possible that Warrior might have picked up a clean win during an untelevised house show, since they had a circuit of matches across the country in the early 90s. But who knows what happened off-camera.
I know Undertaker did lose clean to Hogan untelevised, based on (I think) Meltzer's report. But again, it was untelevised.
The Austin match in 1998 is the first televised clean loss.
I think Undertaker lost cleanly to Tito Santana in the early 90s before Santana was demoted to mid card jobber. Good match with Austin but hate how Hebner always did a really slow count at the end.
shareRe: Tito Santana
Same as Warrior. Tito used an urn to win, so it wasn't clean

Well my college professor just told me that Undertaker lost cleanly his last match in WCW to Lex Lugar before coming to WWE at the 1990 Survivor Series
