Well there is the smackdown version so hopefully ziggles wins but jericho and orton have been in them before and both were former champs before that.
yes, but this time it is a guarranteed former champion winner with all of the participants being former champions. Having one or two former champions in the match is alright, to add star power and a what-if factor to the match but to have everyone on there established guys defeats teh purpose of the MITB which is to push up and coming stars who are on the brink of superstardom and need that small push into the Main Event status - Miz, Bryan, Van Dam, Punk and Edge are all examples of this.Well there is the smackdown version so hopefully ziggles wins but jericho and orton have been in them before and both were former champs before that.
I agree its pointless but so is the whole concept of MITB as it devalues championships which should be won in a hard thought contest.If you want to create stars then bring back the KOTR.yes, but this time it is a guarranteed former champion winner with all of the participants being former champions.

YES! It was the perfect way to create and build a star.I agree its pointless but so is the whole concept of MITB as it devalues championships which should be won in a hard thought contest.If you want to create stars then bring back the KOTR.
I don't think the concept or point of Money In The Bank was ever to simply create new stars but a new and at the time exciting way to make people a WWE/World title contender which has seen some success in Edge and CM Punk and then some who it hasn't worked with like Jack Swagger and The Miz with some the jury is still out on in Bryan Danielson and Alberto Del Rio. It is actually a great idea and something i wrote in a thread last night titled "John Cena to make a historic announcement on Raw" which for some reason i now can't find anywhere on here as i said eventually someone is going to cash in and lose so why not have it be John Cena as it won't hurt him.To create new stars? so this stipulation of having to be a former wwe champion is just stupid and takes away MITB' whole purpose. People wanna see new stars and guys who have never held the title, not someone like Cena who gets title shots whenever he wants anyways and doesn't even need mitb.
Tell that to Swagger and ADR. No, MITB isn't about building new stars. It's been used for that at times but there have been as many flops as success stories.To create new stars
I'd also include Kane & Punk's first cash-in.Tell that to Swagger and ADR. No, MITB isn't about building new stars. It's been used for that at times but there have been as many flops as success stories.
