WWE SummerSlam 2015: Results and Match Reviews
WWE SummerSlam 2015 promised to be the biggest and best SummerSlam of all time. Almost four hours of action and 10 matches with two main events, including the long-anticipated rematch between Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. The show had Jon Stewart as host, a match with Arrow's Stephen Amell, and a guest appearance by Mic Foley.
But let's face it, SummerSlam 2015 was a stinker.
If Monday Night Raw is three hours that should be cut to two, SummerSlam 2015 is four hours that should be cut to about two and change. Too many inconsequential matches, screwy finishes, and just bad writing and booking. NXT: TakeOver, which took place the night before SummerSlam 2015, was just over two hours, and a reminder of why quality is more important than quantity. Hell, indie promotion Ring of Honor's Field of Honor show in Coney Island over the weekend was far better than SummerSlam 2015 too.
I feel bad for anyone who paid for SummerSlam on actual pay-per-view.
Let's go through the weekend of wrestling in Brooklyn and then consider the results, the highs, and the lows of SummerSlam 2015.

This Week in TV is a weekly feature reviewing the best, worst and most interesting episodes of television from the past seven days.

This week sees Don Draper and Oliver Queen find themselves just in time for the Mad Men series finale and the final episode of Arrow's third season respectively, while Wayward Pines gets underway with the closest thing we're likely to get to an M. Night Shyamalan return to form.
