I'm not seeing what's so special about this years SummerSlam. We're getting Brock vs. Taker II...that's about all. There will be a few other good matches, but unless the rest of the show is filler matches, I idk how they are going to fill 4 hours. Here is a list of things that tell me SummerSlam isn't going to be so...Big and mighty after all.
1. Sting is Out 2. Cena will miss a few weeks making his Rollins storyline pointless. 3. Harper and Bray vs. Dean and Reigns. (This is New! Not....) 4. There isn't enough to fill 4 Hours..Unless each match is almost 30 minutes long. 5. Sting is Out 6. Sting is Out 7. And Oh Yea....Sting is Out!!!
What do you all think? Will SummerSlam be a win or a bust? BY THE WAY I NEVER SAID STING WAS CONFIRMED!!! I said he's out...the rumors are no Longer!

Sting was never anything more than an Internet rumor, so, to the casual fan, the show isn't any more or less appealing because he isn't there.
Not to mention, what did you really want from him? To be thrown into the Wyatt storyline in another hapless attempt to get Roman Reigns over by association? There's really no need to have him there.
The show will be fine. Lesnar/Taker is a huge money match, even if it doesn't turn out very well. Cena will show up and bring his A-game, like always. Rollins will do the same. Will it be a classic? Probably not. But I'm sure it'll be worth the Network subscription price.

I love how so many complain that WWE relies on older talent. And as soon as they don't rely on a 56 year old man, they act like the whole show is ruined.
WWE never confirmed Sting would be appearing. They never promoted him and they never showcased him. It was an internet rumor. For future reference take everything you read online with a grain of salt. There may be something to it, but there might not be either. For all we know, Sting is still going to be there. Maybe this was a smoke screen to throw off the rumors? Who knows? But I certainly wouldn't put all my eggs into one basket.

SummerSlam is still a few weeks away and we only officially know of one match on the card. No one has any idea if the show will "be a fail."

Sting was never confirmed so it doesn't ruin the show. There's still 3 weeks yet, at least wait for the card to be set in stone before complaining.

The Undertaker lurching around the ring for 4 hours isn't a fail.

I doubt it will be amazing. That's for sure.

I'm going to talk about this in pre-Network terms but I think my point souls still be clear:
Is anyone NOT going to order the PPV because Sting won't be there?

Sting could never wrestle again and I probably wouldn't care that much. A 56 year old man whose character was already destroyed at WrestleMania by terrible booking isn't going to make or break a show for me.
We could have Brock/Taker, Cena/Rollins, Wyatts/Shield 2.0, Owens/Cesaro, a crazy tag match, a legitimate Diva's Title match, Stardust/Green Arrow... this SummerSlam should at least be fun if nothing else.
I just hope the booking isn't that bad.

Summerslam hasn't been good in 10 years I expect no different this year Summerslam 2013 was quite good. I really hope they use this opportunity and give Cesaro and Owens a lot of time, I think Ryback should vacate the IC and whatever happens with US will happen and it would he good for it all to eventually be decided at Summerslam. I think they would do well with or without sting, I really like don't see why teaming him up with reigns is great but some Wyatt family stuff with sting would be so cool. Brock and Taker will be quite the match, don't even know what to expect. I can see Nikki MAYBE dropping the title at Summerslam. Cena is still a little f'd up from Monday so that also changes the fate of everything too and don't forget them finally using Stardust for something really important as well. They have such a talent roster and four hours of PPV time, I think it would be really beautiful if NXT could just invade and get their own hour of wrestling honestly

He may never have been in the picture to begin with. He may still be in the plans, regardless of rumors. You're welcome.

Undertaker vs Brock is the only saving grace now that Cena vs Rollins won't be that great. I have no faith they will put on a great match. I have no reason to believe it will be anything more than a novelty type of match like Sting vs HHH. Making this 4 hours was a bad idea. I'm imagining the divas and the tag matches are going to get A LOT more time. I really hope they do something with the IC title also.

Everyone thought Mania was going to suck and people complained about it beforehand. People also thought many other PPVs were going to suck as well, and with the exception of RR, they have delivered this year. Check back on August 24th

It probably will. It's no SummerFest.

So far, it's a one match show. The one match they've actually bothered to put in any build for so far, has been great. The Lesnar and Undertaker brawl was ing epic. Apart from that, there's not much to expect from the current roster. WWEs ability to create blockbuster stars is on life support.

The only thing that can save SS now is a performance by Limp Bizkit.
