While no wrestling undefeated streak will compare to The Undertaker's WrestleMania one or Goldberg's late-90's WCW dominance, Hulk Hogan can lay claim to a pretty impressive one when it comes to SummerSlam. 

The Hulkster has competed at the event six times and has had his hand raised on all six occasions. 

He main-evented the first SummerSlam, in 1988, teaming with Mega Powers ally Randy Savage to thwart The Mega Bucks (Ted DiBiase & Andre the Giant) and also triumphed in a tag team headliner the following year, joining forces with Brutus Beefcake to down Savage and Zeus. 

In 1990 he saw off Earthquake, while in '91 he teamed with Ultimate Warrior to beat Sgt. Slaughter, Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan in a 3-on-2 handicap bout which, I think, officially ended the Gulf War. 

He didn't appear on a SummerSlam card for another fourteen years, re-emerging in 2005 to best Shawn Michaels in a memorable show-closer that was, originally, due to be the first of three matches between the two of them.

Then, in 2006, he beat Randy Orton in what is more than likely going to be the Hulkster's last WWE match ever. 

The Ultimate Warrior is one behind Hogan at 5-0, while Charlotte Flair has every chance of beating the record within the next few years, since hers currently stands at 4-0. 

Conversely, Booker T has never won at SummerSlam, possessing a pitiful 0-5 record that includes major losses to The Rock, John Cena, Batista and Triple H.
