1. Brock's Just Not Around Enough For A Match Of This Magnitude
It's sad (very sad, in fact) but true. Everyone would love Brock Lesnar to be on every single taping of Raw and SmackDown circa 2003, but this isn't the same Brock Lensar anymore. He's a different beast altogether, and his contract with the WWE is remarkably different than the one he used to have. He's part-time, and will probably be part-time until the day he retires from in-ring competition. This should have been a real blockbuster of a match, but a whole host of factors have come together to indicate that won't be the case. Chief amongst them is Lesnar's schedule, which is simply too light to carry off a match of this importance. Hell, this is for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, yet Lesnar is barely around to give the match even the slightest push. That's pretty poor from both Lesnar and the WWE; who should have insisted that if Lesnar was to win (which he will), he should have at least committed to a heavier schedule for a couple of months. We're essentially going to have a match that feels like it was created just a few days prior to the event - there will be no promo work of any importance, nor will there be anything for fans to get excited about. Given how Brock has barely turned up to plug his contest with Cena, the big question will be how often he works after SummerSlam. Because if he wins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, he's going to have to put a lot more hours in with the WWE. Fans are totally open to not having a fighting champion - they've almost come to accept it - but having a champion who isn't even in the same building as the rest of the roster? That would be a booking disaster.
