I don't understand how SummerSlam is a video game concept. That's like saying the Superbowl is a a concept, or the World Series is a concept...I don't think that it's really a concept.
EDIT: Also noticed there is a Wrestlemania page as well.
How is SummerSlam a Concept?

I suppose if the games themselves mention a SummerSlam in them, it's a valid concept. Just like Super Bowl could be a valid concept, for some football video games have a Super Bowl and some don't and someone could be interested. I just find it kind of point farmingesque that in the description someone listed all the real life SummerSlams from 1988, and even gave attendance - it's really not relevant to the video games.

The staff has already said concepts should act as a 'catch all' for the time being. If not that, then what? Excluding it completely doesn't work. As MattyFTM said, It's included in wrestling games. The only problem I see with this is that the article written fails to acknowledge it's presence in games, and instead focuses completely on the 'real life' happenings.
"Wait...people are agreeing with me. But I'm supposed to be hated, HATED! Where's Black_Rose when I need him?"Then you need to generate some cheap heel heat. Insult the local sports team, talk about how ridiculously great you are and how much everybody else sucks, or just call someone fat.
Or log on to Youtube and upload a video of you piledriving an elderly lady through a table.
Concept pages are designed to be catch-alls in cases where something might not fit perfectly in another category.
