Excluding Kennedy it has resulted in major pushes for each of the past winners. All of the past winners were in the upper-mid card when they won the match, however Edge was the only one that benefited for more than a few months and has become legit main eventer, so although it didnt work out for the other 3 it allowed 2 to become champions something they would never have been able to achieve at that time without the push from winning the match, and its obvious from Edge that it has the potential to transform a mid-carder to a main eventer. However this year I think is different because there appears to be fewer options as to who might win it compared to previous years, as most of the midcarders are either not ready for the MITB push, or have already failed in the main event picture (CM Punk, Mysterio) so who do you think outside the main event picture deserves to win the match?
The Brian Kendrick- Had a decent push last year quite a few people were big on him, and he was quite an entertaining heel on smackdown until they stopped his push. I think it's unlikely since he is meant to have some heat on him.
MVP- I think MVP is probably the favourite this year. He has had some heat like Kendrick but has been punished and apparantly will get a renewed push, and has turned face. The guy is definantly entertaining on the mic, im still not a 100% sure about him in the ring but he has had some good matches and if he is more consistant I can see him making the leap into the main
event picture.
Kofi Kingston- As I have posted in the thread about him been in the elimination chamber I am not big on Kingston. As I think he is very overated, a bit of a spot monkey, and lacks enough mic skills to be anywhere near the main event. I don't think he has enough experiance or has wrestled anywhere near enough good matches to be considered for winning it this
year.
Rhodes/Dibiase- Would be a good choice if they werent already involved in Legacy, though I could see Rhodes winning it at a push just purely because he has been around long enough- and i could maybe see some storyline with orton been jelaous.
Who else even is there that has any kind of chance of winning it this year, seems like a tricky one to predict this year.
