WWE historic matches of 2015- summer Review

While professional wrestling is not the first thing most people would associate Stephen Amell with, the “Heels” and “Arrow” star has made his wrestling presence known many times. Amell has appeared in ROH and WAE, including a match at the now infamous All In independent show in 2018.

The match he is remembered for most, however, came at Summerslam 2015 when he and Neville, now known as Pac in AEW, took on the team of King Barrett, also known as Wade Barrett, and Stardust, who is now “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. On a recent episode of “Insight,” Amell looked back on this match, describing his nerves going into it.

“I wouldn’t recommend to anybody to have their first match at a premium live event in f***ing Brooklyn,” said Amell. “I was so nervous that I forgot to get in the ring.”

Heading into the match, Amell was supported by Road Dogg, who was the agent for the match, and Cody Rhodes, who was helping him train. While Rhodes was supportive and accommodating, there was one thing he made Amell do despite his trepidation.

“We decided we were going to start the match off with Cody springboarding into the ring and then my springboarding as well,” said Amell. “I was terrified of messing up the springboard … I even said to him right before the match, ‘Do we have to start with the springboard?'”

What are the most historic matches in WWE? If you were to ask Vince McMahon, the answer would be “all of them, pal!” While not every match in McMahon Land can be historic, there have been many matches that have changed the landscape of pro wrestling, er, “sports entertainment.” We’re going to look at which matches left the biggest mark on the business.

While there are plenty of historic matches, we believe these matches are the most historic because of their long-lasting influence and far-reaching implications for the business. They weren’t just memorable; they changed the business. So while “Rock vs. Hogan” makes all the highlight reels, and WWE claims “Roman vs. Brock #756” was “the biggest WrestleMania match ever,” neither really changed anything. These matches did. Admittedly, there’s definitely a bias for the ’80s and ’90s because frankly, those were the most popular and historic eras.
