Unforgettable Moments: The Strangest Events in SummerSlam History<\/h2>\n\nSummerSlam, WWE’s second-biggest event, has witnessed epic matches and memorable moments throughout its three decades of history. However, it has also hosted some of the most peculiar and surprising episodes in the history of professional wrestling. Below, we explore some of those moments that left an indelible mark.\n\n\n

2016: Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar, a Face-to-Face Encounter<\/h2>\n\n\nSummerSlam 2016 promised to be a high-caliber event, but the night was marked by disappointments. The match between Finn B\u00e1lor and Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship was marred by the public’s reaction to the design of the belt. The main event, with Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton, culminated in a violent and confusing ending.\n\nAfter an eleven-minute match, Lesnar hit Orton, causing a wound above his eye. The match ended with a referee stoppage. Confusion increased when Shane McMahon confronted Lesnar. Backstage, Chris Jericho, known for his confrontations with larger wrestlers, challenged Lesnar. The incident became a topic of conversation outside the world of WWE.\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a little altercation, to put it mildly,\u201d Jericho commented on the podcast “You’re Welcome! With Chael Sonnen”. \u201cWhen you see a friend in a pool of blood, whether it’s real or not, it’s real blood, you know? He suffered a real concussion.\u201d<\/p>Chris Jericho<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

1993: The “Lex Express” Tours America<\/h2>\n\nAfter Hulk Hogan’s defeat to Yokozuna, WWE was looking for its next star. Lex Luger was chosen and promoted with a patriotic display. Luger performed a bodyslam on Yokozuna and earned a title shot at SummerSlam. WWE created the “Lex Express”, a bus tour to generate excitement. Luger visited several cities, but the SummerSlam main event did not meet expectations.\n\nLuger won by count-out, but Yokozuna retained the title. Despite the celebration, the “Lex Express” and the main event were considered a failure.\n\n

1991: The Mountie Spends the Night in Jail<\/h2>\n\nWWE has had characters based on professions. The Mountie and Big Boss Man starred in a rivalry that culminated at SummerSlam 1991. The loser of the match had to spend a night in a New York jail. The Mountie lost and was arrested, experiencing a humiliating night behind bars.\n\n\n

1991: Ultimate Warrior Demands Money from Vince McMahon<\/h2>\n\n\nIn the 90s, Ultimate Warrior was considered Hulk Hogan’s successor. Before SummerSlam 1991, Warrior threatened not to show up unless he was paid $550,000. McMahon gave in to his demands, but later suspended Warrior.\n\n\n

“You’ve become a legend in your own mind; you’re entitled to your opinion. However, you are not entitled to express your feelings by breaching and threatening to breach your contract,” read part of the letter.<\/p>Vince McMahon<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWarrior left the company and his career in WWE declined.\n\n\n

1998: The Insane Clown Posse and The Oddities at Madison Square Garden<\/h2>\n\n\nIn 1998, The Oddities, with their theme song performed by The Insane Clown Posse, became a popular act. The group, consisting of Golga, Giant Silva, Kurrgan, and Luna Vachon, even featured an appearance by ICP. The popularity of The Oddities culminated at SummerSlam 1998, with a live performance by ICP at Madison Square Garden.\n\nAlthough the group’s popularity diminished rapidly, this moment remained etched in the memory of the fans.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
