Yeah, PPVs start at 1AM in the UK. So probably nowhere to catch it live. Or so I hear.






There are probably places around me that do, but I don't know of them, plus have no friends who are still interested in wrestling, and would not want to go alone.

When I don't have work I tend to watch with a group of friends, 3 - 5 of us usually. It's much more enjoyable that way.

Whilst at Uni, I watched a couple Manias in large groups. Much fun was had.

I'd love to watch in a really big group though, that'd be interesting.

in response to ABT, I know a place that show lots of PPV's locally, they just charge like £5 in and the bar is open 'til 6am, "beer and a burger" is like £3 I think etc. Lots of pretty unbearable people though. There's a bunch of places across the country that do the same type of thing, not sure how regularly though.

Got room for 1 more? It'd be a hell of a trip, but watching a PPV is always more fun with fellow fans.

I would go to St. Augustine and watch it with a few buddies, but the guy whose house we watch it at has a little girl that is always running around like crazy while we try to watch the PPV. Good kid, it's just hard to hear/see what's going on.

I normally watch the PPVs but the CM Punk storyline is one of those rare cases where I am completely intrested and want to buy a ppv just because of 1 match or feud.

Unless the WWE completely drops the ball or "kills" the flow of the main event, it should be interesting to see what happens since there are a lot of possibilities with most revolving around CM Punk winning.

If CM Punk wins, he would leave with the belt but could still taunt the WWE with live feeds of him bringing the belt everywhere he goes each week. Cena would be fired for the second time in a year although the WWE could still treat that as a joke like vs Nexus. Also the MitB winner could possibly cash in and become a huge "savior" of the belt for Vince. The MitB wouldn't even have to be a face but would get favors from Vince for helping rescuing the belt.

If Cena wins, then nothing really changes except Vince is happy although the MitB winner could still cash in.

I have booked the next day off work so I can also stay up until 4am GMT to watch the PPV. To be honest, as there are two ladder matches in the same PPV, I was going to anyway before all this CM Punk shenanigans started. Now I'm even more excited for the whole thing.

I'll probably be watching on a stream as well, as it's been shown on a subscription sports channel and not a box-office channel. If it were the latter and I could pay a one-off fee to watch it on the telly, I would. Unfortunately though, I'm resigned to frantically trying to find a good enough stream on the night.

I think this is the third straight PPV where I have LOVED the lead up to Cena's title match. And I wasn't disappointed with the payoff of the first two.

I loved the fact that they could do a one month feud with R-Truth, make it interesting, have an awesome finish to the match, and not do the lazy "rematch the next month" thing. This style is very old-timey. I like it.

It's free for me anyway so it was going to be getting recorded already. However I really do want to see where they go with this as well as what they do with Orton and Christian.

Between Orton/Xtian and Punk/Cena, I'm actually getting into wrestling again. I'll probably be right here with most of you guys watching a stream (no promises though).

This PPV seems good. We got the whole CM Punk thing and Daniel Bryan in SD match, geez. Ride of the Valkyries literally just started playing on my record player. THIS IS SOMETHING.

Lets just hope Cena does not try to ruin the show again, like Wrestlemania and the Royal Rumble .

Ive convinced myself the following will happen:

Punk wins. RAW MITB winner doesn't cash in on Punk and he isn't on RAW the next night. Lots of speculation as to whats going to happen..Cena isn't fired by some technicality but is thrown in a program with Del Rio or something..
HHH shows back up the following RAW and calls out Punk to man up and face him in a match at Summerslam, career vs career...blah blam..boom.

Christian beats Orton only to get cashed in on by the SD MITB winner Sheamus and have an even shorter title reign than his first because Vince hates the internet.

Thumbs up Now this is where I talk them into the building
Sports Bar up here used to show them, not sure if they still do since they're now called Shooters or some shit. Was amazing when I could get a Monday off and have 10p chicken wings and overpriced beer all night. Those were the days.

ANYWHOO, it's fucking Money in The Bank, it didn't need the Punk thing to sell me on it, it's just added the layer of awesome.

I had stopped watching PPVs live since Wrestlemania.

Not that Wrestlemania was incredibly terrible, I just got myself soo hyped up, and then walked away somewhat dissapointed. Now I read the results, and watch matches that sounds like my cup of tea.

But Punk / MiTB is going to be very difficult to fuck up.

Option A - Cena wins and Punk legit leaves, I'll be impressed by how well he was sent on his way.

Option B - Punk wins and leaves with the belt. Epic few months ahead of us.

Option C - Punk wins, MiTB winner cashes in on him and wins, Punk leaves. Cool, I can dig another Swagger run

Option D - Del RIIIIIIIOOO!

Option E-Z - Various other permutations of this storyline...


And that's why this storyline is fantastic, lots of options on which way it will go, and almost all of them are good things. Good work WWE.

PPV's here generally start around 10am on a Monday, and our PPV provider charges pubs through the ass to show them, so not many places have them. Like someone else said, I'd rather pay my $30 and watch it at home.

And to answer your question Xero, I'm taking the day off work to watch this when I had 0% thoughts in ordering it 4 weeks ago. Punk has made me do this.

Yeah, the last I was this interested in a PPV was WrestleMania -- but that didn't quite live up to my expectations. It wasn't horrible, but it just...didn't. I was super-pissed about Daniel Bryan not competing, to be honest, and that is my right as a fan.

Money in the Bank has me pretty pumped. And not JUST because of Cena vs. Punk. The way this storyline between Orton and Christian has been going, Christian will have to be made to look like a total fool to not win the World Heavyweight Title here. He could literally get Johnny Curtis to attack him and he's the World Champion. Literally -- a DQ win means he's the champion, and if the ref doesn't call the DQ it's unfair officiating, and Christian is the champion. That being said: worst case scenario is that they have a good match, Chrisitan IS made to look like a fool, he loses cleanly and then goes back down to the mid-card. At least we still get an amazing World Heavyweight Title match.

The Money in the Bank Ladder Matches should also be awesome. The good thing about them having their own PPV is that there can be two of them, they can get plenty of time with fewer guys, and, to be honest, I sincerely believe there would be a rivalry between both sides to put on the best match possible. For a lot of guys, this is a chance to prove they belong. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel, for example, are guys I really like, but aren't legit main event guys (despite being involved with main eventers for pretty much the last year). I expect both to really bring an A-game and make some fans at MITB.

You've also only got six matches booked. One will probably be added, and it wouldn't surprise me if that was a solid match, too.

Now, with the main event: I've been so captivated by CM Punk that I want to order it just for him. Even if he's leaving, I want MITB to have an outstanding buyrate, so Punk can legit claim to being a draw. For a long while, I thought that Punk had signed a new contract, and that he was going to be facing Triple H at SummerSlam -- but now I'm thinking he might actually be leaving. That makes me sad, because the aftermath won't be nearly as captivating for me as this moment. In fact, it'll probably seem colder with the absence of Punk.

So basically: I would be hesitant to order, if the rest of the card looked shitty, because not only could the worst case scenario happen (Cena wins easily, Punk looks like a fool), but the rest could make me scratch my head and vow off PPVs for a while (and I don't normally buy them for the record, but if they were solid and kept being solid -- I would). But given that I am going to see two amazing Ladder Matches (unless something goes amazingly wrong) and a great World Title match between one of my favourite workers, where only idiotic booking could put a damper on me being rewarded with their second World Title -- I think I'll order.

Now, get back to me after Money in the Bank, and see if I'm ranting about how excited I am about the future of the WWE, or whether I say "the wrestling was technically good, but..."

Also, even Big Show vs. Mark Henry could be a guilty pleasure. Henry has been a pretty amazing character lately, and Big Show is good for a man his size. They need to let the intensity fly, but more so than ever before, the WWE is equipped with backstage minds that can plot out a watchable and exciting contest between these two. And there's your smoke-break.

No. Why? well we ALL know how matches with Cena ends... He ALWAYS wins... I'm calling it now... Otherwise, WWE should prove me wrong and I refuse to give 2 shits right now about WWE. In the words of Punk, "I'M TIRED OF THIS AND YOU JOHN CENA!!"

When I was in the UK I would watch every PPV with a group of mates, usually ranging between four or five people, which keeps the cost fairly low for each of us, but as I had college the next day, it meants I would sleep in the evening before the PPV, then after the PPV I'd head back home and get an hour or two sleep before heading to school.

Anyways, now that I'm in Deutschland I just watch them the next day on Dailymotion of any stream sites.

Of course, this Punk storyline has me incredibly interested in this PPV. Punks angle aside though, Cena and Punk have been having some great matches, and I'm expecting nothing less from Christian and Orton. Plus the two ladder matches means this should be an entertaining event.

I don't know what I'll be doing Sunday, but I can think of things I'd rather be doing than watching this PPV, so that says it all for me. Watching the PPV on stream would basically be my 'plan c' if other possible plans don't pop up or fall through.
Would you like to retract that statement now or later?

The CM Punk angle made me put effort into looking for a stream for the main event (didn't watch the rest of the show), which is more than I can say for most PPVs now. I only ever order Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania.
