Top 5 Shawn Michaels Best SummerSlam Matches

Any list about the best matches for a show is incomplete without the name of Shawn Michaels and so we are here to talk about the Top 5 Best Matches of HBK at this event and although he is not Mr SummerSlam he still was one of the best and therefore he has had a number of Incredible matches at this event over the years. Shawn Michaels is a baje that a lot of young wrestlers looked upto when they wanted to be a professional wrestler, Adam Cole is one of them. Shawn Michaels was WWE at its best and so it’s natural we do a list of this great man.

Now before we get on to this list I have to acknowledge that not all the Top 5 Matches in this list are one on one Matches and that also shows that Shawn Michaels was so adaptable just like Bret Hart and he could have a 4 star match with a broomstick as is said by many. So, let’s look at the Top 5 Best Shawn Michaels SummerSlam Matches.


Shawn Michaels vs Triple H – SummerSlam  2002

This match was also in the Best Triple H Matches list so it was obvious it would be in his list as well and it was also the best SummerSlam match that Shawn Michaels had in his career and this says more about the sheer quality of this great match that these 2 had at 2002 and it was the first match for Shawn in over 4 years and it looked like he had gotten better than before. This was a statement match from Shawn Michaels that he is still the best and he beat Triple H in this barn burner.


Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon- SummerSlam 1995

A ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship between these 2 would always be an all time classic and this time it was no different as well as Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon went at SummerSlam 1995 and had yet another 30 minutes show stealer and no other match could come close to it and these 2 showed everybody how ladders are supposed to be used in a wrestling masterclass. This time Shawn Michaels got his revenge on Razor as he won the International Championship this time. An all time classic as always.


Shawn Michaels vs Vader – SummerSlam 1996

This match proved that Shawn Michaels was the elite in WWE as he had such an incredible match against someone the size of Vader and Vader was a freak of nature himself nut Shawn Michaels made him look like a million bucks that night had it was also the first main event in SummerSlam fir Shawn Michaels and he delivered like he always does and Vader became a megastar after this match and Shawn Michaels retained his WWE championship in that match. It waxes 15 minutes banger from start to finish.


DX vs Legacy – SummerSlam  2009

Like the first match on this list this match was also featured in the best SummerSlam Matches of Triple H so it has to be in the list for Shawn Michaels as well because this match simply was brilliant from the opening bell to the last. It was all these gifted wrestlers at their peak doing what they do best and that is entertain the crowd and the fans at home and it was one of the best tag matches in the history of SummerSlam and the young Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr were bigger stars and more experienced after this match with legends.


Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan – SummerSlam 2005

This was one of the last great matches that Hulk had in his career and it is no surprise that it came against Shawn Michaels in 2005 and credit to Hulk Hogan who hung in there with a prime Shawn Michaels and Shawn took Hogan and carried him to a special match where Hulk Hogan was shown to be still having it and Shawn Michaels could do no wrong in the wrestling rung and this was a 25 minutes classic and one of the Top 5 Best Matches for Shawn Michaels at this event in my opinion.
