MITB predictions *spoilers*
 
I actually don't know who's going to win this year... it's pretty exciting. So far the guys who've qualified are Kane, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, MVP, CM Punk and Christian. I'm bored so I'm going to list a few thing why each person could win or won't win. Some are easier to come up with than others.

Kane
+ as much as he's jobbed over the past 7 years, he could immediately be thrown into the main event and be viewed as a threat
- always jobs.

Mark Henry
+ been built pretty strong this past year. WWE may want to try him as a main eventer on Raw or Smackdown
+ hasn't hurt anyone in a while
- will most likely hurt 5 people in that match alone
- injury prone. Why put that much faith in him if he's always injured *cough Kennedy*
- Wouldn't be exciting. The only way it would be exciting if Henry cashed it in and lost against a huge face champ like Austin, Rock, or Eddie after they fought a huge match (thinking Henry will actually win, but just barely loses). However, WWE does not have any champs like this at the moment.

Kofi Kingston
+ No one expects him to win, would be exciting.
+ Great way to test him in the main event. Could win MITB and lose when cashing it in being the first person to do so.
- he'll put on a great show, but is still too new to the company for something like this

Finlay
+ consistently entertaining
- doesn't need to win.
- seems more at home on ECW. Doubt WWE will waste MITB on ECW or officially bring him to Raw or Smackdown.
- probably viewed as too old, regardless of how awesome he is in the ring. WWE is stupid like that.

Shelton Benjamin
+ shines every year in the MITB
+ has been a solid mid carder for about 5 years
- WWE tried pushing him into the main event a while ago, but he wasn't ready. WWE might want to keep him where he's at.

MVP
+ recently turned face and is getting pushed again (I think)
+ seriously is main even quality as a face or heel.
- had that stupid losing angle

CM Punk
+ one of the most featured guys on Raw
+ just lost the IC belt... could be a sign for bigger and better things
- won last year. Would be more exciting to see someone new win

Christian
+ already has a program with Swagger. Could be used to further it.
+ could easily be worked into a program with Edge
- just returned and has to work his way up
- WWE completely ignored the crowd response he was getting before he left. Might do the same now.

MVP - my pick to win
Shelton Benjamin - second
Kane - third
Christian - fourth
CM Punk - fifth
Mark Henry - sixth
Kofi Kingston - seventh
Finlay - eighth

I think either MVP, Shelton, or Punk. Shelton is so fucking talented, but I just can't see him ever being a World Champion.

Volare 03-10-2009 02:29 PM

Your breakdown is pretty good. But you know how WWE always likes to take thier cheap shots at TNA. That's why I think Christain is gonna win, and throw him into an angle against Edge.(My prediction to win BTW)

It just makes too much sense. Christain comes back, says he waited for his time to shine, and screws Edge in the process.

Triple Naitch 03-10-2009 02:30 PM

I would also say Christian being in a program with Swagger is a negative and not a positive. He's already established in a World title feud, so the briefcase would be useless.

GD 03-10-2009 02:42 PM

Although Punk has 2 reigns as Champion under his belt, he still has a long way to go.

GD 03-10-2009 02:44 PM

Benjamin can wait. He still needs a strong build.

BigDaddyCool 03-10-2009 02:50 PM

I'm picking MVP to win. He is the only complete package in the MitB match.

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 02:55 PM

MVP FTW IN MITB FTR BTW FFS BDC!!!

GD 03-10-2009 02:57 PM

Acronyms Rule!

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 02:58 PM

I like MVP seriously, I don't know if I want him to take the briefcase just yet. If he does, I definitely dont' want to see him call his shot like Kennedy and wait until Mania next year...

BigDaddyCool 03-10-2009 02:59 PM

I think the only thing MVP is missing is some big name wins. Also, if Shawn Micheals doesn't beat Taker this year, MVP should next year.

GD 03-10-2009 03:01 PM

Come on! remember Kennedy getting over HBK and now it seems like a lot of people don't care about him.

Kane86 03-10-2009 03:02 PM

Mvp is not good enough to end the streak.

That is because Kennedy was pushed to hard, to fast and his only real talent was repeating his name. MVP has shown he can carry matches, promos, and entire feuds.

Completely right here. The only legitimate person he had on his resume bible busted his wife and Fragile X'd his kid...

Afterlife 03-10-2009 03:19 PM

I don't hate MVP as much as I used to. That said, I would rather Kofi win than MVP. Not to insinuate that I dislike Kofi. I just find him more entertaining, in general.

MVP has had forgettable matches with Kane, they just don't click. And he can't ever reference back to Chris Benoit. Everyone else has been midcarders. It is hard to look like a legit maineventer when you never really face any.

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 04:32 PM

He can lay claim to beating Rick Flair, but that was a forgettable match as well.

BigDaddyCool 03-10-2009 05:45 PM

So can everyone in WCW.

St. Jimmy 03-10-2009 06:33 PM

you forgot some things:

MVP:
- Is Black

Shelton
- Is Black.

WWE Logic should be implied here.

Volare 03-10-2009 06:44 PM

BATHTURD?!?!

CSL 03-10-2009 06:47 PM

Punk or MVP would be my pick. Christian too. Kane is an outside possibility 'cause of their fondness of giving him month long main event pushes

There we go. So subtracting the black guys, the old guy, and the glorified jobber, our choices are between Punk and Christian.

Though I would like to see Punk actually have a legitimate World Title reign, since he's been built up a lot over the past year, I don't think that'll happen.

Christian could use the MITB to get his way out of ECW and into a program with Edge, but that would require Vince having some form of trust in him.

CSL 03-10-2009 06:54 PM

Vince loves Christian really. Due to his newfound love of swerving the IWC, he's gonna put all 2 and a half World titles on him at 'Mania

It was BECAUSE of the losing streak that he's over as a face now and has been getting the push. I wouldn't call it stupid.

Afterlife 03-10-2009 07:47 PM

Punk winning twice could be interesting. He could use the whole "You know what happened LAST time.." to any champion he targets.

thedamndest 03-10-2009 08:09 PM

I wouldn't have called Punk a contender until they took the IC title off him. Still going with MVP though.

Hopefully this means we get Swagger/Tommy now???

Nicky Fives 03-10-2009 08:10 PM

I could see pretty much anyone winning it this year except for Finlay... I hope its either Christian or Kane

GD 03-10-2009 08:15 PM

I see some great possibilities. But I would rather not share them because then maybe Vincy would read it and jinx it.

Ruien 03-10-2009 08:24 PM

JBL will come out and steal the briefcase.

Ruien 03-10-2009 08:24 PM

Or buy it from whoever wins it.

legendkillerRKO 03-10-2009 09:44 PM

what if....
 
what if mark henry and kane try to climb up the ladder at the same time? dont those things have like a 400 pound limit!?

Xero 03-10-2009 10:41 PM

Gravity happens.

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 11:25 PM

So do injuries. I don't see Kane even wanting to be near Henry during this match.

Xero 03-10-2009 11:28 PM

*Henry approaches Kane in the hall.*
Henry: Yo man, I have a great spot in mind for-
Kane: No.

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 11:33 PM

Henry: But Kane wait, it's a tot...
Kane: no.

In disgust, Henry storms out of the boiler room and walks past MVP

Henry: Yo' my nigga! I got a great idea for a spot for the-
MVP: BALLIN!!!! yo dawg i'm finally getting a push you think I'm gonna let you HHH my quad? get the fuck outta here!
Henry::'( I'm safe now dammit!

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 11:36 PM

Finlay walks by and...

*Flash to Mania, Christian lying in a heap, leg clearly broken.*

Christian: WHY GOD, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

Krimzon7 03-10-2009 11:38 PM

As they cart Christian to the back

Vince: Christian,
