168 - SummerSlam 2015

It's the rematch too big for WrestleMania! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover The Beast vs The Phenom in Brooklyn in the main event of SummerSlam 2015. The Undertaker picked a prime beat to seek his revenge on Brock Lesnar. But he did so in a surprising way with a desperate kick right to Brock's Jimmy John! It leads to the main event of SummerSlam (as WWE TV makes sure we remember) with a shocking and controversial ending as Taker tries to get his first every win over Lesnar. We'll discuss the hot and heavy action in the match plus all the build including Undertaker's return at Battleground, the wild and crazy pull-apart brawl between Brock and Taker that lasted multiple segments, how R-Truth low key saved the day, Paul Heyman's masterpiece promos during this run including him breaking into song, the surprising heel-face dynamics at play during this feud, Jon Stewart getting involved in the storyline, the instantly meme-worthy laughing face of The Undertaker, and so much more. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
