Pretty fuckin' awesome pic for the MITB match |

That is pretty awesome. Not a complaint, but I kind of feel like the Money in the Bank matches are a little lop-sided though. I think they will turn out fine and are perfectly interesting, but I think some of the guys in the WWE Championship match should be going for the World Heavyweight Title.
Sheamus, for example, won the Royal Rumble last year and chose to challenge Daniel Bryan. He's made the World Title a career goal, having already been a two-time WWE Champion. He lost the title to Big Show last year, but shouldn't he want it back? The same goes for Christian, who is a former two-time World Heavyweight Champion and wants "one more match." Wouldn't that "one more match" be for the WHT? Jack Swagger and The Miz would also be natural picks for the World Title MITB. Swagger was chasing the title until he hurt his hand and is a former MITB Winner. The Miz often brings up on Main Event's commentary that the only title he hasn't won is the World Heavyweight Title, so he'd like to win that championship. Boom, they go into that match alongside Sheamus and Christian. Zeb Colter might want to spread his clients across each match, to ideally make it possible for him "save" each major championship. Antonio Cesaro would thus be entered into the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Dean Ambrose, while he's never made it apparent that he wants to challenge for any specific World Title, has existing issues with Kane, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton. He'd make a perfect heel foil for that match. Since I've put The Miz into the World Title Money in the Bank, that leaves Curtis Axel without a clear Money in the Bank opponent, but as a secondary champion he could be entered into the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and he could talk about how he's about to win the title his father never could. WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match Antonio Cesaro vs. CM Punk vs. Curtis Axel vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Kane vs. Randy Orton vs. Rob Van Dam World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match Christian vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Fandango vs. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz vs. Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett The matches then look a bit more balanced, with former World Champions and at least two former winners in each match. It makes the World Title look almost as desirable as the WWE Title (which I guess just isn't the WWE's goal anymore) and it at least makes booking television over the next few weeks a fair bit easier, as you can have Christian, Sheamus and The Miz mixing it up with the heels scheduled for the World Title MITB. John Cena vs. Mark Henry, Del Rio vs. Ziggler, Jericho vs. Ryback, AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn with Natalya as Special Guest Referee and The Shield vs. The Usos would comprise the rest of the card. That's seven matches, and while not many of them need too much time, you could always give The Usos a great showing against The Shield by having them go for quite a while and allowing Del Rio and Ziggler to wrestle for longer than people would expect them to. |

The Smackdown mitb match looks awful in terms of star power. It'd be a fine match, sure, but none of those guys should be anywhere near the world title right now. Barrett's probably the closest but hasn't he pretty much been booked very much like a mid carder for the past two years or whatever?

Having said that, the world heavyweight title is a midcard title anyway, so I guess they fit right in. It's more that they try and recognise them as world champions that's the problem.

I prefer it how it is. It's no secret that the WHC isn't the main prize and they had a similar theme going with the two matches last year. Putting Curtis Axel in there for the top belt would be fucking awful, worse than when Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel were in the WHC Money in the Bank for no reason a few years back. Anybody could win either match here without coming across like a complete Jack Swagger (including Jack Swagger himself).

I'd rather have Heath Slater in the raw match instead of Rob Van Dam

Falling off ladders is probably the best way to use Heath Slater to be fair.

Noid, you included both mid card champs in your WHC MitB match. I don't think that's right, everyone wants them to mean something so they ought to be defended and not used as props to give another match some sort of "legitimacy." Perhaps there just aren't enough capable/over guys to do 2 MitB matches this year and that's ok. The Slater/Gabriel/Sin Cara year was rough, no need to relive it.

Also some rumblings regarding Bill Demott once again might be facing some serious harassment allegations this time dealing with female talent on NXT assuming the stuff being said by Ziggler's brother (NXT's Briley Pierce) ends up being true. |

Jimmy Hart @ 1:42, sounds like the WCW theme was already in the works. |

Eric Bischoff had to have done guest commentary at least once on RAW. Maybe.

I'm not really sure why Jack Swagger didn't qualify for the RAW All-Star Money in the Bank Ladder Match, since he's won one before. I actually wouldn't mind it if they just swapped him over in a conversation between Zeb Colter and Vickie Guerrero or something. That would leave one more spot open for the World Title one. How about you have Curtis Axel vs. The Miz for the IC Title with the winner earning a spot in it. The Miz wins and gives them one face to cheer for in there (although I think the Philly crowd will probably be going for Ambrose and Barrett).

I know, I was making fun of those who cry foul over the subject. Mostly at retarded times.
