Thinkin about MITB this year.
Alright, who would you have win the MITB match, and when would you have them use it, and against who as champion?
Me personally, I'd give the shot to CM against a heel Cena and invade Raw to do it. CM wins and stays on Raw. |

I'd say the MITB ladder match be CM Punk, Sabu, Jeff Hardy, Shelton, Benoit and Rey Mysterio
If a Raw entrant wins it, I'd have Jeff Hardy win it and use it during an Edge title reign and let them fued for the title for a while. If ECW, I'd say CM Punk and have him wait on it, then late in the year have him use it to switch brands. If Smackdown, Rey Mysterio or Benoit, either would be fine with me. Personally, no matter who wins it I hope manages to win whichever title they challenge for upon cashing it in. It'd be cool to have the MITB winner capitalize for a 3rd time. That lends a lot of credibility to the match and could be used as a selling point for the 4th one. "All 3 times, the winner has gone on to win the title" I'm a big fan of MITB, not just for the matches but the idea itself. It's a great way to get all the great talent on the card, and its great interpromotion with an awesome prize. I think it should be kept as an annual event indefinitely (until they can no longer do it). |

I think Kennedy should win this year. Build up a decent feud with the champion (who will probably still be Batista) for survivor series next year (summerslam may be too early), with Kennedy winning the title

Yeah, I think they may not have it this year kind of like the draft after having it two years in a row.

Instead of the typical KOTR tourney what if it was a MITB tourney? The same as king of the ring, only the winner is not only king, they get a title shot. Make the tourney with 16 wrestlers from all 3 brands.

Well, anyway....
....they should do it again. Not involving any established main eventers though, not having them win anyway. Use it to elevate a Kennedy, Nitro, Carlito, somebody. |

What makes some of you guys so sure they won't do it again? Unless it has been stated otherwise, I'd assume its on. You have 3 brands of guys who won't have a place on the card without it. And it has been used the past two years with success.

I'd rather see them (each brand) do a tournament to see who gets a place in the MitB. Build it up saying all the previous winners have gone on to win the gold, just promote it as being a huge oppurtunity.
I'd like to see something like: Smackdown: Chris Benoit (w) V Chavo Matt Hardy V Joey Mercury (w) Ken Kennedy (w) V Kane Gregory Helms (w) V Finlay Semi's: Chris Benoit (w) V Joey Mercury & Ken Kennedy (w) V Helms Smackdown participants = Kennedy, Benoit RAW: Jeff Hardy (w) V Johnny Nitro Shelton Benjamin (w) V Super Crazy Carlito (w) V Chris Masters Kenny (w) V Ric Flair Semi's: Jeff Hardy V Shelton Benjamin (w) & Carlito (w) V Kenny RAW's participants = Shelton, Carlito ECW: CM Punk (w) V Hardcore Holly Test (w) V Tommy Dreamer Kevin Thorn (w) V Mike Knox Sabu (w) V Matt Striker Semi's: CM Punk (w) V Test & Kevin Thorn (w) V Sabu ECW's Participants: Punk, Thorn MitB Ladder Match: Shelton Benjamin V Carlito V Ken Kennedy V Chris Benoit V CM Punk V Kevin Thorn |

MITB is/ or was cool, the entrants all seemed to fit a title role, so it was hard to figure who whould win unless you knew, but If Cena is the champ, and there is MITB, he will likely defend and stop the streak. Or if he isn't champ, they have it, and he wins it, I will be pissed.

Randy Orton should probably be in the Main Event not MITB.

I don't think Benoit will be in it, Hopefully he'll either be defending the US title at WM or in the title picture somehow. I'd rather have Mercury than Benoit in it. Yet Mercury would not wanna be involved with anything to do with ladders.

I'd much rather see them have Paul London & Brian Kendrick issue a TLC Challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania. Throw in The Hardys, MNM and The World's Greatest Tag Team. Can you say "orgasm"?.
If they do go the route of Money in the Bank, again, here are the participants I see partaking: RAW: 1. Shelton Benjamin 2. Carlito SmackDown!: 1. Chris Benoit 2. Gregory Helms ECW: 1. Sabu 2. CM Punk The most obvious choice for winner is CM Punk. I would like to see something interesting, like Gregory Helms stealing it, or Carlito pretty much getting a guanranteed World Title reign. |

Sorry Alienoid but if Shelton is in it, it would'nt be that great.
And it's not because he's black, it's because he's boring. |

Ya, srsly, who wouldn't want to see Shelton Benjamin in a MITB match? Lay off the Bud Ice, DM.
I love the match and hope they do it again this year. I hope Kenny Dykstra finds his way into the match as well. Not saying he has to win, just want him to be in it. |

Truth be told I'd rather assume something isn't happening rather than get all excited and anticipated because the latter causes you to be disappointed when what you were expecting doesn't happen. You've only got yourself to blame for assuming what you wanted was going to happen. Like Bret at WM22 or 'Taker's return at Royal Rumble '03?

I didn't say EVERYONE needed to be on the card. ECWs a brand, and yes it needs to be. As for guys like Shelton, Punk, Carlito, Nitro, Jeff and Matt Hardy, Sabu, Rey Mysterio, Finlay, Benoit, Masters, etc...yes they should and need to be.

OK, no. ECW has no business on WWE programming. Why? Because it's promoted as a separate entity. It's main title is called the ECW Title. On Raw and SmackDown!, you've got the WWE Intercontinental and WWE U.S. Title. Two brands but under the WWE banner. ECW is supposed to be an alternative to that. Second reason: everyone bitched about WWE guys showing up on ECW programming. What's good for the goose and all that jazz. If ECW can't survive on its own, too bad.
