From The Undertaker to The Red Rooster, almost all of WWE’s talent has made an appearance at **Summerslam** over the years. One of **WWE**‘s ‘Big 4’ pay-per-views, **Summerslam** has definitely produced some memorable moments, but also created some interesting statistics for fans like me to look up as a way to stay awake during **Raw.** ## 5. Booker T does not dig it, sucka. ‘The five-time, five-time, five-time Champ’ also has five losses at **Summerslam.** Sensing a pattern here? Booker T/ King Booker has had five Summerslam matches throughout his **WWE** career and he did not win a single one of them! Not only is Booker tied for third most **Summerslam** singles match losses, he has the worse W/L record for singles matches in **Summerslam** history! Coming in at a close second is Brie Bella and Marty Jannetty at 0-4. Booker’s five losses came when: 1. The Rock beat him for the **WCW** Championship in the main event of **Summerslam** **’01** 2. He and Goldust lost the **WWE** Tag Team Championships to the team of Christian and Lance Storm (’02) 3. He lost to John Cena in the first match of a best of five series (’04) 4. Lost to Batista via DQ (’06) 5. Lost to Triple H (’07) To put that into perspective, Booker T has fewer wins than Zack Ryder, Carlito, Stephanie McMahon… well you get the picture.

The most for a female superstar is only four, with Brie Bella (0-4), Beth Phoenix (3-1), and Natalya (3-1) all standing on top of that short ladder. There have also been 279 matches, which is an average of 9.3 matches per show.

Some wrestlers do surprisingly well While the records of names like Edge (8-2) and Hulk Hogan (6-0) are not surprising given their overall success in **WWE**, some less likely superstars have also thrived at the summer spectacular - Bart Gunn, Tatanka, Neville, Jerry Lawler, and John Morrison are all 3-0 at **Summerslam** and are the only five wrestlers currently boasting a 3-0 record - Billy Gunn is 4-1 - I.R.S is 3-1 These are just the standouts, there are plenty of others that raise an eyelid. These are the most notable. [Jerry Lawler vs. Tazz: SummerSlam 2000 (embedded)](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/BJvAa-AAfbU?feature=oembed) ## 2. The Hardys are the worst Summerslam wrestlers of all-time Their self-esteem may be the only thing that is ‘Broken’. Not only is Jeff 0-3 in singles action, he is 0-3 in tag team action as well! His brother Matt does not fare much better, being 1-2 in singles matches, as well as being 0-3 in tag team bouts. They are 0-3 as a tag team (including a 3v3 match w/ Jason Jordan against the Miztourage) and a combined 1-5 in singles action. Jeff Hardy has the worst W/L ratio in **Summerslam** history at 0-6, and Matt is not far behind him at 1-5, plus one win via DQ that I’ve decided not to count as a win. If Jeff loses to Shinsuke Nakamura on Sunday, he will drop to an abysmal 0-7. ## Honorable Mention: mid-card opposites The U.S title has only changes hands twice in **Summerslam** history, whereas the IC title has changed hands 14 times! ## 1.The Undertaker has more than one streak The Undertaker has another impressive streak to show off besides his famous **Wrestlemania** undefeated streak, well two if you count the streak of terrible **Summerslam** matches/rivalries he had (I’m looking at *you* Fake Undertaker). The Undertaker and John Cena are tied for the most consecutive **Summerslam** appearances with 14 in a row. Cena wrestled at every **Summerslam** between 2004 and 2017, while ‘Taker competed at every **Summerslam** from 1992 through to 2005. Bret Hart, who has won three separate titles in his 11 matches, (1988-1995) and Dolph Ziggler (2009-2016) are far behind in second place with eight consecutive appearances. Fun Fact: 2018 will be the first **Summerslam** that does not feature Brett Hart, The Undertaker or John Cena. Probably!
