Summary: Best Summerslam ever
Review: This was the greateast Summerslam ever! The best matches wereStone Cold vs HHH vs Mandkind for the WWF title Test vs Shane foughtunder grenich street fight rules the kiss my a** match between The Rock and Billy Gunn and the tag title match with the Big Show and The Undertaker challenging X-pac and Kane.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not bad
Review: This WWF Pay Per View took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center (just down the road from where I am now). At the time, the governor of Minnesota was Jesse Ventura, a former WWF Superstar/Commentator. He would be used as the special guest referee (he did this in the first Summerslam event in 1988) in the Main Event.

Two Titles on the Line: D'Lo Brown (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett with Debra
This match was decent, with D'Lo getting in most of the offense. While I read recently that Jarrett is one of the best workers in the world, D'Lo came off looking much better than Jarrett in this one. Fairly quick and unemotional.

WWF Women's Championship Match: Ivory (C) vs. Tori
Blah. Not much more to say.

Love Her or Leave Her" Greenwich Street Fight: Test vs. Shane McMahon
At the time, the storyline was that Test was 'dating' Stephanie McMahon. Shane didn't like Test, so was trying to break them up. If Test won this match, Shane would [get] out of the relationship. If Shane wins, Test can no longer date Steph. Shane McMahon is not an everyday wrestler, but he has put on some good matches and has proven that he is willing to take the punishment required in order to entertain the crowd. No different here. While this isn't a 5 Star match by any means, it was one of the better matches of the night.

WWF Hardcore Championship Match: Big Boss Man vs. Al Snow (c) with Pepper
I'm not sure I have ever seen The Big Boss Man in a good match. Al Snow has his moments, but I didn't like his character back in '99 (other than getting joked on by Mankind). This match went out of the Target Center, across the road, and into a couple of local shops. Snow tried a moonsault off of a bar counter and crashed through a table. That was the lone entertaining spot of the match.

WWF Tag Team Championship Match: Kane & X-Pac (c) vs. Undertaker & Big Show
Just about what you'd expect with 3 very large men in the ring. Slow.

The Rock vs. Billy Gunn
Billy Gunn has his moments, but this was just a silly premise of a match. Interesting enough, Gunn was just coming off a big win at King of the Ring. That is usually a stepping stone to bigger things. He comes off looking foolish here.

Lion's Den Weapons Match: Ken Shamrock vs. Steve Blackman
Blah, again. Shamrock is a real fighter, and this was billed as a true fight (with weapons, but still). The reality was the WWF fighting with punches pulled and designed to look good but protect the wrestler. With the gimmick for the match being what it was, it was [bad.]

Tag Team Turmoil: Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Mideon & Viscera vs. Droz & Prince Albert vs. The Acolytes vs. The Hardcore Hollys
A Royal Rumble styled tag match. The match starts with two teams, and as one team is pinned, the next comes to the ring. I never got to see Droz wrestle before, as he was later paralyzed, but he is barely in this match. The best part of the match was the opening with Edge/Christian vs The Hardy Boyz (then part of the New Brood).

Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship: Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) vs. Triple H vs. Mankind with Jesse "the Body" Ventura as Special Referee
Without question, this was the highlight of the night. Gov. Ventura was a presence and a factor, but was actually fair in the match. While there was a lot of brawling elements in the match, it was entertaining seeing three of the bigger stars of the WWF in the ring at the same time (and it is always a highlight to see Mankind).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best ppv in a long time!
Review: Was a great ppv it had a lot of cool matches the best one being test vrs shane in a steet fight the lions den match was cool worst match was the tag team turmoil but overall a great ppv

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: best summerslam ever or close
Review: well this ppv was one of the best. the jarret vs dlo match was average. steve blakman vs.shamrock was one of the boring ones. the rock vs. billy gunn match was great. xpac and kane vs. taker/show was awesome. and the main event was pretty good as well. its a buyable one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, worth the money at least
Review: Well this PPV was pretty good. But the undercard beat the main event. A triple threat for the WWF title refereed by Jesse Ventura and had Triple H , Mankind, and Stone Cold. Sounds good? It wasn't really, it had its moments (HHH SLAMMING a steel chair on Stone Cold's knee while on the apron). But all through it you are scratching your head saying How did thta happen and whatnot. The Test/Mcmahon was by far the best match. The worst part of this is that it is the last REAL match Stone Cold was able to perform at until his departure in late '99. His match at No Mercy 99 was very good, but it lacked the real 'Stone Cold' attitude he so very well portrays. If you can get it for under 16.99, then buy it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SUMMERSUCK!
Review: Why does everyone here think this stupid PPV is great, come on! what a boring hardcore match between Al Snow and Bossman, the only best part of the match was the camera racing to the guys, King said it reminded to him as the Blair Witch Project! the other matches are dull as well like Shamrock and Blackman in a weapons lion den's match? the crowd was soooo quite, they didn't know who won! Ivory and Tori was stupid, the Street Fight with Shane and Test was probably one of the matches that saved this pathetic show! The main event really suck so bad, why would they let Mankind the title in the first place! come on! give it to Triple-H! Jesse was really entertaining, he made the match amusing inspite of the boring match, the ppv really sucked, don't even look at!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Damn PPV of '99
Review: Wow, Summerslam was incredible. There was a very good undercardfeaturing a great hardcore bout between Al Snow and The Bossman. AlsoKane and X-Pac Vs. Undertaker and The Big Show was a solid match. Test Vs. Shane-o Mac was by far the best match featuring Shane's Leap Of Faith, Great match between The Great One and Mr.Ass, and a solid Main event featuring Mankind, Stone Cold and Triple H. The rest of the card was average. You cant go wrong by buying this!
