It hasn't killed it entirely, but it's damaged it.
If Vince and HHH have to be on screen, then they should be feuding directly with each other and not interfering in the Cena/Bryan feud.

I'm still interested in the match because it will probably be amazing up until the lameassed overbooked ending happens. I was really hyped for it a few weeks ago when Bryan was red hot and having awesome matches weekly. I thought that they would do something a little different and it would be really good. Then Vince showed up, then Bryan and Cena did the "I'm a real wrestler!" "So am I!" routine a couple of times and now with a special ref it's almost guaranteed to have a moronic ending and lead to even more McMahon family drama. I like HHH but if there has to be McMahon power struggles they should keep it away from the main events so that I can turn the channel when it's happening. Evil meddling Vince is beyond played out.
So, while I am interested in the match I'm not really interested in the fallout if that makes any sense. Maybe the E will come up with something good, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

I'm still struggling to figure out exactly why this match needs a special referee. It just doesn't make sense. This whole angle has been falling apart for weeks. The "Cena isn't a real wrestler" argument is ridiculous, the "I'm a WRESTLER" counter-arguement is even more ridiculous. Both guys have had lackluster promos and the overbearing McMahon drama has been sinking it even further. SummerSlam is going to have to pull off the mother of all great booking in order to salvage this angle.

Most of these responses are hilarious to me. I have zero problems with HHH being in this match and storyline wise it makes perfect sense. HHH showed up last night to right a wrong and the crowd loved it.
Bitch and moan about the Mcmahons all you want, but the bottom line is that the majority of the crowd reacts to them and I don't blame WWE at all for catering to their paying audience.

Yeah, it completely killed it. I wasn't a big fan of the story heading into the match, but I know they could still have a fantastic match. But all this McMahon family bullshit ensures is that the ending is convoluted and idiotic and lead to more McMahon family drama bullshit and does nothing for Cena or Bryan.

I'm guessing they're adding a guest referee so the match can have ton of overbooked nonsense to "protect" Cena rather than just have him lose to Bryan clean as a whistle. I'm thinking SummerSlam 2013 is going to look a lot like SummerSlam 2011.

I'm actually a bit more interested, just because I really have no idea who will win and this just throws more mystery in there. This angle hasn't really been holding my attention otherwise. I'm not even a big HHH fan, but this is one case where his presence isn't a problem for me. Cena/Bryan will be good enough to overshadow anything HHH does, barring some bizarre scenario.

The question is has it killed your interest. If it hasn't killed your interest, or has made you more interested, that's cool, but you can't just go 'The crowds loved Triple H coming out'. I didn't, which is what the question was.

It hasn't completely killed my interest, because I still think a John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan match is going to be outstanding, but it has made me disturbingly apprehensive about the end of the match. Like, there's no earthly way the match ends in any way other than "Via Shenanigans" and there's no way SummerSlam ends other than "What does this mean for Triple H?"
Every conceivable ending to Cena-Bryan in some way, shape or form will involve Triple H. What, will the match just go off without a hitch, Triple H will count 1-2-3 or ring the bell when someone taps out and that's that? Yeah, right. Triple H was clumsily shoehorned into this match to be the focal point of said match. Any and every ending will be directly attributable to Triple H or will adversely affect Triple H in some way.
What pisses me off is that we can't ever have anything organic that the crowd just gets behind any more in WWE without Triple H rushing out to the ring to be all, "Hey everybody, I'm still here!" Was there going to be one person watching this event on PPV or at the Staples Center who would be watching Cena-Bryan and wondering to themselves, "Geez, what's Triple H up to right now?"

Nope this being a rehash of cena/punk and ryback/cena have made my interest in the match lower.
This should be about two guys going for the belt to prove who is the best. Like Warrior/Hogan or HBK/Bret at wrestlemania
The mcmahans added a bit of intrigue, but the whole poster boy vs the people's choice has been done to death by this point

Absolutely.
They should have built this up as the exciting underdog with tons of wrestling ability vs Cena the unstoppable machine.
HHH, Maddox and Vince poking there noses in has made no sense and detracted from that.

I still don't mind Vince trying to meddle in the Summerslam main event result. It's just...of course Hunner is in the match. Of course he is.
Maybe this would be a good instance for WWE to play with audience expectations? Tons of opportunities for Hunner to get involved more directly, but he doesn't. The match goes off without a hitch and he goes to the back. All the shenanigans happen after the match when Orton cashes in his briefcase then wins. Hunner doesn't care because all he cared about was delivering the Cena/Bryan main event.
Yeah, it's still "what about Hunner" bullshit but at least that would be tolerable and doesn't just make me...kinda numb. Like I had emotions about this match but now that Hunner is in it, they've been swallowed in a miasma of apathy. I think it is because of what a lot of people had already said, no matter what happens a huge portion of the match is going to be about Hunner and what he does.

Yeah, this whole feud has gone off the rails these past few weeks. Honestly at this point I would've prefered sticking the Bellas into the build-up as was originally rumored. At least that could've been train wreck bad.
The McMahon stuff is just the same old, same old schlock from years past.

Quite the opposite, all the side diversions mean there's ambiguity about what will happen at Summerslam, and that's the only thing appealing to anyone who isn't enamored with Daniel Bryan's workrate.

Not really, if anything I'm just curious how it will end (as in, will Trips turn heel and cost DB the match?).

I just hate guest referees in anything. Nearfalls are never as hot because the special ref is always out of position, or doesn't know how to make a proper count.
That said, I still expect Bryan to go over relatively clean (although it wouldn't surprise me if they lifted the finish from two years ago where Cena has his foot on the ropes and HHH counts it anyway). However, I do expect Hunter to pedigree Bryan after the match to open the window for an Orton cash-in, creating a second McMahon-Helmsley regime, because WWE has its hook dug deep into the past when it comes to the draw of McMahon power struggles.
