Though the match started slow, it culminated in a blockbuster finish with long-reaching effects on the WWE product in which Hart spat at Michaels, who swung a steel chair that mistakenly smacked off the head of The Undertaker. Michaels would also not be allowed to compete in his home country if he showed any kind of bias to either competitor. The stakes were as high as any title match in company history, with The Hitman vowing never to wrestle in the United States if he could not defeat The Deadman for the title. That was exactly the scenario facing WWE at SummerSlam in 1997 as Bret Hart challenged The Undertaker for the WWE Championship with Shawn Michaels as the guest referee. Take three of the most volatile personalities in WWE history, add in the industry's top prize, and you have a powder keg of a main event. It was the first time the dark cloud of the male cheerleader broke, the light shining brightly on a performer who was already infinitely better than he was when he battled Triple H and Shawn Michaels in televised main events.Д®ven in defeat, his value was readily apparent. Ziggler bumped all over the squared circle for his smaller opponent, showing flashes of the performer he would become at his peak. With that said, it was the coming-of-age performance by The Showoff that was most resounding. He carried the match and ensured the event kicked off on the right foot. There is no denying the greatness of Mysterio. Three seconds later and The Master of the 619 successfully retained his title. He slowed Mysterio but ultimately fell prey to a fast-paced babyface comeback and a wicked top-rope hurricanrana. Ziggler withstood an early onslaught from Mysterio to ground him and wrest control of the bout. Though he was unsuccessful in that match, his efforts earned him another shot at the gold in the opening match of that year's SummerSlam. An unwavering work ethic and ability to bump around the squared circle earned him an opportunity to challenge Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions in July 2009. The result? The first truly magical moment in SummerSlam history -even if the match lasted just over half a minute.Дolph Ziggler had been left for dead, a former member of The Spirit Squad saddled with one of the worst names in WWE history. After 12 months of enduring the ridiculousness of the smarmy bad guy, fans had that payoff they so patiently awaited.

Honky Tonk Man ran his mouth one too many times and paid for it in the form of a quick, sudden and painful ass-whooping, courtesy of Ultimate Warrior. The Madison Square Garden crowd erupted, and Warrior began his journey to sports-entertainment immortality.

Then, in 1988, The Ultimate Warrior answered the arrogant titleholder's open challenge and proceeded to emancipate the WWE fans from the frustrating championship reign in just 31 seconds. He was so effective as a heel that Vince McMahon would book him as the B-show headliner because he understood people would pay money in hopes of seeing the Elvis wannabe get his ass kicked. He got counted out, disqualified and never met a shortcut he didn't love, all in the name of keeping the gold around his waist.
