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. |

What you have to realise about MITB is that it is pretty much for a guaranteed World Championship. People say they want to see someone lose with the briefcase, but how fucking ridiculous will they look? You can pretty much run down the World Heavyweight Champion, roll him into a ring, and get a referee to count and get your name forever in the history books. In the world of kayfabe, the World Championship brings you a lot of money and success, so I see no reason why a guy should lose with the briefcase. Essentially what you are doing with Money in the Bank is saying "You will be a World Champion within a year" to a guy. That should not be for your strict mid-carders. Yes, guys can get elevated with it, but what the match literally is, is a way to get a guy into a position where his booking is urgent. It's putting a star next to a guy's name saying "look after him, because he'll be WWE or World Heavyweight Champion by WrestleMania next year." That can be a guy breaking through, or it could be a guy who has been to the top before, or it can be a repeat winner like it is this year. Sometimes MITB is not suitable to raise a guy through the ranks. It's a bit of a "cheap" way to win the title. That perspective should change, but if you raise a guy with the win every year, then it runs the risk of becoming a mid-carder's match, and a bit of a joke. |

Few things...
Why quote the post then then part of the same said post in your one post??? Your post demonstrates to me that you do not have a clear understanding of how to use the quote function properly. By your logic, we should all quote parts of another persons post multiple times to make a point about each paragraph. Please put some actual thought before you post next time... But seriously knoblet do you actualy think winning Royal Rumble had cred from day one? No it did not, hence why it needs to be built up by being won by established stars. If Punk is a two or more time champ (I cant keep up with title reigns anymore) by the time he goes into MITB next year I dont see how he can be built up much more without knoking out HHH and taking a dump on his chest in the ME of Mania. By building the match up you also build up winners of the match thereby creating new stars. Quote:

Dave Batista....2005. Rey Mysterio....2006. All examples of wrestlers that were rising upper mid-card wrestlers, and used the Royal Rumble as a platform to be propelled into the main-event scene. Please do your research with more due diligence next time. Moron. |

Sting Fan pretty much has it. If Punk goes back into the match a three-time World Champion (counting his ECW Title reign), or more, and a two-time winner of the match, it instantly gets boosted. It looks like a bigger deal than eight new goofs trying to kill each other, with the fans having no real reason to see any of them as a real title threat until they win.

What planet are you from Mr. Jones? That's not how I, or any other human read that post. You're so wrapped up in your own bullshit that you're not even contemplating anyone elses ideas. Why don't you go take some anti-depressants, fuck your boyfriend, and get a good nights sleep. Maybe it'll clear your head a little.
