Who's going to take the MITB Match?

[Jeritron]

I dunno. Seems like MVP is a favorite among people. I think Punk could repeat too. I wouldn't mind Morrison, but I'd like to see him lose his cash-in, because I want him to develop more.

I guess I'd have to reserve my prediction til I see who's in there to start with. Guys who will definitely, or maybe, be in there: Rey, Punk, Shelton, MVP, Bourne, R Truth, Kofi, Regal, Finlay, Kennedy

Morrison, Miz, Rhodes, Dibiase, Carlito are all possible entrants. I'd rather see Miz/Morrison vs Priceless Players vs Primo/Carlito vs Cryme Tyme in a 4 corners match for both sets of tag titles though.
It'd be better for everyone involved, and free up space in MITB.

I agree, and at the rate all four of these teams are going it could be a hell of a match. I would definitely like to see it.

I'd rather just see Mizorrison vs. The Colons. Let that match open the show, and let them go all-out. Fantastic opener. Miz & Morrison win both sets of Tag Team Titles, and maybe The Funks go to present them with them, and The A-Listers are just like "Who the fuck are you?"

Let's take a look at the some of the people suggested as winners here:

Christian
He won't win, because he won't be in the match. He'll be facing Jack Swagger, and possibly Finlay, for the ECW Championship. When Matt Hardy was revealed as Jeff Hardy's "Black Cloud," I assumed Christian would win, but his program with Jack Swagger is too pressing.

MVP
Hmm, I don't think so. They have him turn face by defeating Big Show (a main eventer), and instead of restoring MVP to his previous level, they have him go after the US Title? I don't know. It was more suited to his heel gimmick, anyway. Plus, MVP might be wrestling Shelton Benjamin, and possibly Chavo Guerero, for the US Title anyway.

CM Punk
Punk repeating would be interesting. It's not far-fetched, and it allows them to get him back into that main event scene with a stronger resume behind him. If Punk goes into the match, I think he is a lock to win. There are plenty of other guys who could use the chance to shine, and it's just a chance for Punk to get hurt. Plus, if Punk goes in and loses, then it means the WWE doesn't give a shit about the IC Championship, which makes you wonder why they put the title on Punk in the first place?

I'm getting the feeling that we may see something happen with Punk and the IC Title at WrestleMania. JBL could challenge him, or even Kane. And past those two, you have a rematch with William Regal, or even a fun face vs. face match with Rey Mysterio or Kofi Kingston. Nah, I don't think Punk will even be in the match.

John Morrison
The WWE hinted at splitting them up, but they didn't pull the trigger. They like both guys, but they seem reluctant to separate them. While Morrison is attached to The Miz, I can't see him winning. He's also got this program with The Colons. Granted, everything might be wrapped up before Mania, and Morrison is a solo go without a definite program, but until then, even if he makes it into the match (alongside Carlito, most likely), I think he will shine, and then lose.

Until we're sure of who is even going into the match, I think it's a bit hard to predict. I got a funny feeling on RAW, though. With the stigma still flowing from his Elimination Chamber performance, and him moving so much merchandise, being quite over, and being a fresh and (arguably) exciting addition to the match -- I could see Rey Mysterio winning it this year.

The only problem with that, is that Rey has already won a World Title, so it's not elevating a new guy, per se, which seems the idea of the match, but Rey is going to need a bit of help if he's ever going to get legitimately close to the main event again. MITB could be it.

I really like this idea. But also have Morrison develop a huge chip on his shoulder after it. Nothing too over the top but just something that makes him a more serious character. Almost as if he realizes he needs to be less flashy and starts focusing on just getting the job done.

Something like that, I don't know.
