I see no issue with it, Punk can be built well and still enter MITB, either way its a Title opportunity and if he has been built right all year he will bring some of that credibility back to MITB. Personaly I would see winning MITB more than once as being a Main Event talent, it shouldnt be a blight on your career. Hell you dont see people cryign about winning the Rumble, its considered one of the biggest rubs in the business. MITB COULD be built the same way.

Few things:

1) There's a HUGE difference between winning the Royal Rumble and winning MITB. Winning the Royal Rumble is designated for main-event guys...or guys that will be pushed as main-eventers even if it's temporary (i.e. Benoit, Mysterio).

2) Being an MITB champ is basically the modern day equivalent of being a King of The Ring champ. It's designated for people that are promising mid-carders. Furthermore - MITB, just as KOTR was in the past, should only be used to launch the careers of up-and-comers.

Your post demonstrates to me that you do not have a clear understanding of how to elevate mid-card talent.

By your logic, Austin should have won KOTR two or three years in a row, instead of allowing someone like Hunter Hearst Helmsley or Ken Shamrock to step up.

Please put some actual thought before you post next time.
