Supreme, VSG, Xero, Juan, CSL, Taz Dan and Vito Cruz present: A G and Hansey joint "MITB 2012" ft comedian ABT

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[Dukelorange]

Uh oh... Malfunction...

[KIRA]

The Scott Steiner of laddersn

Hey! scott steiners disgustingly muscular form is the result hard training and dedication
to physical fittness

:shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

Hah! I thought that was a botch and the case chain holding the case broke accidentally until Cena's music hit so fast.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I didn't hear what he said that time.
ruined the false finish again

said Jericho was gonna win before he was even close

[Savio]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[GSP]

So we get a Cena vs Rock rematch at WM for the title this time?

[Keith]

Can't be too mad, Cena hasn't been Champion in almost a year, so, whatever.

If this leads to Cena/Rock 2 for the Championship, then it'll bother me.

[KIRA]

wow they didnt even have the decency to try to prove us wrong


still he hasnt held it for a while so

[Supreme Olajuwon]

love Cena winning btw

hope he goes the "honorable" route and let's the champ know ahead of time that he's cashing in

[#1-norm-fan]

Probably the best reaction to retrieving something in a ladder match of all time though. lol

[Ruien]

Hah! I thought that was a botch and the case chain holding the case broke accidentally until Cena's music hit so fast.

I am thinking it was a botch finish. I think he was going to knock Show off then grab the case so they were probably ready to play his music.

[owenbrown]

who booked this shit?

[CSL]

Hah! I thought that was a botch and the case chain holding the case broke accidentally until Cena's music hit so fast.

it still would have been cued ready and I'm guessing the only thing left was for Show to slide down/fall off the ladder

[Ruien]

Was a fairly decent match too. Glad The Miz was put into the match.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Probably the best reaction to retrieving something in a ladder match of all time though. lol

Lol yeah his face was priceless.

[Heisenberg]

We still have Ziggler, so it's not all lost.

[Ultra Mantis]

Jericho didn't win. But neither did Miz. Balance is restored.

[Cool King]

Cena wins and stands over everyone else on top a golden ladder.

[Sepholio]

10 year old with green shirts booked this shit, that's who.

[Cool King]

Lol yeah his face was priceless.

I agree.

[Dukelorange]

be a story on dot com about the ladder being suspended for a wellness violation tomorrow

Buy this guy a V8 Splash...

[#1-norm-fan]

I wanted Show to win because I felt like a feud between he and Punk where he taunts Punk with cashing in and eventually has a match and loses would do absolute wonders for Punk.

This is definitely more of an intriguing outcome though. It seemed like they've been keeping Cena out of the title picture to get more people behind him by having the beloved Punk as champ and having he and Cena stay away from each other. Now I'm interested to see where they're going.

[Nark Order]

Cena's reaction to the chain botch was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

[Keith]

Match of the night: Punk/Bryan

Wrestler of the night: Primo!

[DirtyD]

Cena waits till Mania then becomes the 1st to loose

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hey, say Cena wins the title at 1000th raw because of a bit of Bryan shenanigans against Punk, and WWE decide to give Punk and Bryan an iron man match to close the next ppv. Would people still be crying that the WWE title wasn't in the main event?

[KIRA]

I must have missed it when did miz qualify for MITB

[Emperor Smeat]

The match itself was pretty good but the ending was way too predictable compared to all the hype was just about Cena. His random reaction to winning it was pretty funny.

Didn't see him doing it but I assume Cena gave a small unhook to the case or else its amazing how it didn't snap off when Jericho was swinging from it.

[Dukelorange]

Does anyone have a pic of the look on AJ's face while Punk was in the Yes Lock? I want to make that my phone wallpaper...

If that was the case, then that was a great botch. WAY better.

Would have been even more hilarious if Show was meant to win.

What good is a GM?!

Hey look. St. Jimmy is now ruining threads physically as opposed to just content-wise.

Vickie did say that the board had made the match "Former WWE Champions only". It's logical that he could have gotten put in based on that.

[Keith]

Again, I have no problem with Cena winning (as long as it doesn't lead to Cena/Rock 2), but had Jericho put Cena out with the sleeperhold, and grabbed the briefcase right there, it would've been such an awesome finish.

[Nark Order]

I remember reading somewhere about a Buffy forum that was just one girl talking to herself about different Buffy topics. She'd let other people join up but then delete any posts they'd make so they could only read her thousands and thousands of posts.

Kinda feel like that's what St Jimmy is like, he doesn't actually interact with anyone, and just talks to himself throwing out his useless opinions on stuff thinking it's hilarious/interesting.

This. I was actually wondering for a split second when Jericho let go of the hook and had both hands on the rope why Miz didn't sneak the briefcase off the hook.

Then I remembered the spoilers.

[Cool King]

Overall, I think Money In The Bank was a good PPV.

The Pre-Show Tag Team Match was good and I'm always happy to see Hunico in a match, though it was quite obvious that Kingston & Truth were going to win it.

The SmackDown MITB Match was great and even though I wanted Rhodes to win, Ziggler winning is still good. Hopefully, he'll cash it in on someone other than Sheamus and kick off a good angle with them.

I didn't really have much interest in the Sheamus/Del Rio match as I find Sheamus boring.

The Tag Team Match was good, and Primo & Epico are still a great team. It's a shame they never got the titles again but with the way thinkgs are looking, it looks like they will once The Prime Time Players win the titles.

The Punk/Bryan match was great. Though only the part where AJ wasn't the ref, and I'm not just saying that because of my dislike of AJ. It's because when she was out of action, the match was actually about the match. It was about Punk and Bryan's dislike for each other and also about the WWE Championship.

When AJ was the referee of the match at the beginning and end, the match was JUST about her, her reactions and "what will she do next". I don't think I've ever seen a special guest referee get as much solo camera time than AJ did.

Ryback vs Hawkins & Reks was also good. It was great to see Hawkins in a match and on a PPV, and Ryback getting tougher competition is a good way of working Ryback up. He's past the defeating jobbers stage now, so I'm expecting to see him be worked into an angle with someone soon. Probably after defeating more guys from the "lower" part of the roster though.

The Six Divas Tag Team match was alright. It was nothing special. The best part was Kaitlyn actually having a match.

The Raw MITB was actually pretty good. The addition of The Miz was a nice, but expected one. The end was great though with Jericho putting Cena in a Sleeper Hold and I actually thought that Jericho might actually do it. Then I thought Miz might pull it off. The botch with the latch is nothing big, though Cena's reaction to it and to winning the match were both comical.

Anyway, it's 4:15am here so I'm off to my bed.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I think there was another shot of his face a minute before that just as the hook broke off that was even better.

Money in the Bank has established itself as a good "lead-up" to Summerslam. It has delivered the past two years.

Careful, youngling. The St. Jimmy Clean Up The Muck Initiative does not take kindly to threats against it's spirit guide.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why don't you waltz on back to casual before something bad happens...

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Overall a fun PPV. The World Heavyweight Title MITB was just outstanding. So happy to see Ziggler win, he's ready for the big time and I hope that he ends up getting a lengthy run with the World Heavyweight Title once he cashes in.

Sheamus and Del Rio was a decent match. Nothing overly special but Sheamus continues to look strong. I knew Ziggler wasn't going to win the belt right away when he came out so I nearly had a heart attack at the Brogue Kick. Was glad the bell never rang.

Bryan and Punk was excellent as per usual. The ending was kinda meh though. After all the hype about AJ as ref, to actually see her just plainly call it down the middle was a bit of a letdown. The storyline isn't over yet though so we'll see where it goes.

The WWE Title one was a bit more dry, but it was never gonna be a standard, huge spot-filled MITB either with the guys involved. Show and Kane are too big to take a massive spot and they were never gonna risk it with Cena. Cena winning was pretty obvious from the minute he announced himself as a participant, because it's pretty much the only accolade he hasn't done yet. But seeing Cena of all people with the briefcase should be interesting. Could see him being the first one to lose his cash-in simply because he's one of the few guys who could do that without losing any steam.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

I think there was another shot of his face a minute before that just as the hook broke off that was even better.

Yeah. The mix of Cena and the crowd being like "WTF" for a minute and then Cena suddenly doing his crazy surprised/happy face was great.

I feel like this has been said a lot in the past 3 months. My feeling that this will end anticlimactically is strengthening.

... no spoiler tag? Just taken as a given anymore, ne?

Would be funny if he wasn't actually supposed to win. Like, if there were another spot planned after he knocked Show down... someone gets up and pushes Cena off the ladder, or knocks the thing over, but since the handle broke, they were like "Welp, we gotta run with it now."

[#1-norm-fan]

But they did solve the GM one... although I wish that had not been done...

I'm sure that wasn't planned out.

That was the equivelent of this storyline dropping randomly and then in a year, there's a backstage segment with AJ where someone asks "So what was going on with that whole Bryan and Punk thing last year?" and she says "Oh, I was playing them both. I planned it all out with my boyfriend at the time, Hornswoggle" and it's never mentioned again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

... no spoiler tag? Just taken as a given anymore, ne?

you gotta be fucking kidding me with this nonsense

it's a live commentary thread about the show with 836 mentions of who won

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>True. In all honesty I can see this wrapping up either tomorrow or at Raw 1000 before both guys move on to different things for SummerSlam.</font>

And by wrapping up, it will just be something like Bryan and Punk both telling her she's too crazy and all three moving on.

And all of us wondering how these writers have jobs.

[Team Sheep]

The first two hours were great. Then I completely lost interest as soon as Punk and Bryan was over. I thought the main event was pretty woeful. Also the disco ball being there without Brodus being used is pretty hilarious. They haven't got a clue what they're doing.

I don't remember that. I only remember guys like del Rio last year against Punk, The Miz and I believe Daniel Bryan running in and getting hit before they could hand it in.

Swagger had one failed cash-in (against Cena) before he cashed in on Jericho.

[#1-norm-fan]

Swagger had one failed cash-in (against Cena) before he cashed in on Jericho.

He never actually gave the ref the case though to start the match.

[Poit]

... which is why it was a failed cash-in. He failed to cash it in.

Also, :heart:

[#1-norm-fan]

Or DID I?

I'm aware there have been a ton of failed cash-ins though. Not what we were talking about. I was saying no one has ever actually gone through all the steps to cash it in and then had the ref just inexplicably not ring the bell to start the match. That's what didn't make sense.

[Poit]

I totally thought there have been multiple instances of the ref having the case but the match not starting for whatever reason.

[#1-norm-fan]

Can't think of any. I definitely feel like I would have had the same "... What the fuck?" reaction I did tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

Closest thing I can remember was Bryan cashing in on Henry and then Teddy Long kinda calling an audible and making the match never happen because Henry wasn't cleared so he gave Bryan the case back. That actually made sense though.

[Lock Jaw]

Referee's hands were full. Couldn't call for the bell. Made perfect sense!

Is that the one where he knocked out Mark Henry cold and couldn't turn him over so the ref decided the match wouldn't start as a result?

I know Del Rio had at least one time where he tried to cash in the case only for himself to get knocked out cold and it didn't count (vs Punk after MitB 2011).

[Skippord]

there were a couple times Punk tried to cash in before he cashed in on Jeff Hardy where Umaga interrupted

lol I remember that. He was having problems rolling him over. He did though and got the three. The match started and all. But then afterwards, Long reversed it because Henry wasn't cleared to wrestle so he just struck the match from the record.

The Del Rio one last year, he literally ran into the ring with the case and immediately got kicked in the head.

Even then, they don't even have that excuse this time though.

I think the crowd was quiet in part because AW was speaking throughout the whole damn match, so the crowd wanted to hear what he was saying.

Honestly, a lot of people went to the bathroom and got beer during the match, hence the quietness.

[Volare]

I stayed away from the site starting on Friday till after I watched the PPV.

I marked the fuck out over Ziggler, about god damn time he gets a serious push.

Loved the AW shit, hillarious as hell and can draw heat on that mic when needed. Also, how much you wanna bet that "oh hell naw" he pulled on the mic will become a gimmick.

Punk/Bryan was sick.

I was wondering if that handle was a botch or if that was what the finish was supposed to be. Calling it now, somehow Rock ends up with the WWE title....and here comes Cena to screw him out of it for revenge from Wrestlemania.

[#1-norm-fan]

I kinda like the idea as it would be an awesome WM finish. But I think if Rock gets a title match at WM and Cena still has the MITB case, everyone and their mother is gonna know what's gonna happen.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is almost entirely how I would have booked the PPV. To be honest, I do think that Punk and Bryan should have main evented, but whatever.

* I absolutely love that Primo & Epico vs. The Primetime Players made the show. I sort of expected this. Also, lately, Primo has been getting the best of Darren Young & Titus O'Neil. I really like that, because while Young & O'Neil have the title shot in their back pocket, it makes Primo & Epico look like a real deal tag team that have been screwed over unjustly. They need some promo time to explain themselves a bit more and work on that connection with the crowd.

Truth be told, I thought I was crazy in predicting this a while back, but I kind of thought after No Way Out that a TLC Match at SummerSlam between Kofi Kingston & R-Truth, The Primetime Players and Epico & Primo was a possibility. With Kingston kept out of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, I kind of think that we might get that.

* Ryback beating Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks was the logical progression to everything they are involved in. Called that, too. Hawkins is fucking amazing. I still like Reks more than I like Ryback.

* John Cena should cash in the WWE Title at the 1000th RAW after announcing that he'll cash in at SummerSlam.

[Cool King]

* John Cena should cash in the WWE Title at the 1000th RAW after announcing that he'll cash in at SummerSlam.

That's what I was thinking could happen.

I had a feeling that Bryan would win the WWE Championship at MITB, then on Raw, talk about how great he is and how AJ loves him and all that jazz. CM Punk would then come out, challenge him to a rematch the next week at the 1000th Raw.

Then at the 1000th Raw, Bryan somehow wins in typical sneaky cowardly heel fashion, but is beaten up really bad, then Cena's music hits and Cena runs to the ring and cashes in his MITB.

The match begins and all Cena does is hit Bryan with an Attitude Adjustment and gets the pin. Cena becomes WWE Champion at the 1000th Raw to close the show.

[Cool King]

I still think there is a big chance Cena could cash in at the 1000th Raw though.

No that'd probably cause a discrimination lawsuit.

Just adds further creedence to my outlandish claim that Juan is in fact Alberto Del Rio.

[The Jayman]

it's not that outlandish

What? Why?

They wouldn't allow anything website related per security. The sign read "TPWW.NET". And underneath it read "JUAN FEARS WHITEYFORD"

I scratched out the tpww.net, but did a half ass rewrite attempt during the show. I did attempt getting the sign scratched out and all, on the show, sheep said he saw it.

[Cool King]

Yeah having ".NET" was what done it.

I've seen signs that have just had "TPWW" on them make it on to WWE TV. Though it does get me thinking how even those signs make it past security, as "TPWW" sounds like it could be another wrestling promotion.

Yeah well fuck that noise. Was funny to see myself on TV most of the night when I got home and watched the replay. Also amazing how much I looked at the fucking screen during matches, which I could have done from home.
