MITB predictions *spoilers*
I actually don't know who's going to win this year... it's pretty exciting. So far the guys who've qualified are Kane, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, MVP, CM Punk and Christian. I'm bored so I'm going to list a few thing why each person could win or won't win. Some are easier to come up with than others.
Kane + as much as he's jobbed over the past 7 years, he could immediately be thrown into the main event and be viewed as a threat - always jobs. Mark Henry + been built pretty strong this past year. WWE may want to try him as a main eventer on Raw or Smackdown + hasn't hurt anyone in a while - will most likely hurt 5 people in that match alone - injury prone. Why put that much faith in him if he's always injured *cough Kennedy* - Wouldn't be exciting. The only way it would be exciting if Henry cashed it in and lost against a huge face champ like Austin, Rock, or Eddie after they fought a huge match (thinking Henry will actually win, but just barely loses). However, WWE does not have any champs like this at the moment. Kofi Kingston + No one expects him to win, would be exciting. + Great way to test him in the main event. Could win MITB and lose when cashing it in being the first person to do so. - he'll put on a great show, but is still too new to the company for something like this Finlay + consistently entertaining - doesn't need to win. - seems more at home on ECW. Doubt WWE will waste MITB on ECW or officially bring him to Raw or Smackdown. - probably viewed as too old, regardless of how awesome he is in the ring. WWE is stupid like that. Shelton Benjamin + shines every year in the MITB + has been a solid mid carder for about 5 years - WWE tried pushing him into the main event a while ago, but he wasn't ready. WWE might want to keep him where he's at. MVP + recently turned face and is getting pushed again (I think) + seriously is main even quality as a face or heel. - had that stupid losing angle CM Punk + one of the most featured guys on Raw + just lost the IC belt... could be a sign for bigger and better things - won last year. Would be more exciting to see someone new win Christian + already has a program with Swagger. Could be used to further it. + could easily be worked into a program with Edge - just returned and has to work his way up - WWE completely ignored the crowd response he was getting before he left. Might do the same now. MVP - my pick to win Shelton Benjamin - second Kane - third Christian - fourth CM Punk - fifth Mark Henry - sixth Kofi Kingston - seventh Finlay - eighth Last edited by Dorkchop; 03-10-2009 at 01:33 PM. |

I think either MVP, Shelton, or Punk. Shelton is so fucking talented, but I just can't see him ever being a World Champion.

Your breakdown is pretty good. But you know how WWE always likes to take thier cheap shots at TNA. That's why I think Christain is gonna win, and throw him into an angle against Edge.(My prediction to win BTW)
It just makes too much sense. Christain comes back, says he waited for his time to shine, and screws Edge in the process. |

I would also say Christian being in a program with Swagger is a negative and not a positive. He's already established in a World title feud, so the briefcase would be useless.

Although Punk has 2 reigns as Champion under his belt, he still has a long way to go.

Benjamin can wait. He still needs a strong build.

I'm picking MVP to win. He is the only complete package in the MitB match.

I like MVP seriously, I don't know if I want him to take the briefcase just yet. If he does, I definitely dont' want to see him call his shot like Kennedy and wait until Mania next year...

I think the only thing MVP is missing is some big name wins. Also, if Shawn Micheals doesn't beat Taker this year, MVP should next year.

Come on! remember Kennedy getting over HBK and now it seems like a lot of people don't care about him.

Mvp is not good enough to end the streak.

That is because Kennedy was pushed to hard, to fast and his only real talent was repeating his name. MVP has shown he can carry matches, promos, and entire feuds.

I don't hate MVP as much as I used to. That said, I would rather Kofi win than MVP. Not to insinuate that I dislike Kofi. I just find him more entertaining, in general.

MVP has had forgettable matches with Kane, they just don't click. And he can't ever reference back to Chris Benoit. Everyone else has been midcarders. It is hard to look like a legit maineventer when you never really face any.

He can lay claim to beating Rick Flair, but that was a forgettable match as well.

you forgot some things:

Punk or MVP would be my pick. Christian too. Kane is an outside possibility 'cause of their fondness of giving him month long main event pushes

Though I would like to see Punk actually have a legitimate World Title reign, since he's been built up a lot over the past year, I don't think that'll happen. Christian could use the MITB to get his way out of ECW and into a program with Edge, but that would require Vince having some form of trust in him. |

Vince loves Christian really. Due to his newfound love of swerving the IWC, he's gonna put all 2 and a half World titles on him at 'Mania

It was BECAUSE of the losing streak that he's over as a face now and has been getting the push. I wouldn't call it stupid.

Punk winning twice could be interesting. He could use the whole "You know what happened LAST time.." to any champion he targets.

I wouldn't have called Punk a contender until they took the IC title off him. Still going with MVP though.
Hopefully this means we get Swagger/Tommy now??? |

I see some great possibilities. But I would rather not share them because then maybe Vincy would read it and jinx it.

So do injuries. I don't see Kane even wanting to be near Henry during this match.
