Money In the Bank: 2009

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

I don'really mind Punk winning coz i'd like to see him have another attempt at a world title, and hopefully be booked decent this time. BUT...

I think there were better options for the case. If they really want Punk to have a world title this year they should have built him up over a few months to become #1 contender then go for it. I hope they have him tell the champ when he's cashing it in, like a few weeks b4 a PPV or something.

I really wanted either Kane or Shelton to win this. I kinda knew Kane wouldnt though coz he aint looking for another championship, he's happy where he is. And Shelton, well he's been getting screwed for the past 4 years so no surprises there. Christian, sure he would've been awesome to win but Vince hates him, he didnt even want him in the match to begin with so there was no way he was winning.

Of course Henry and Finlay werent going to win, so that leaves MVP...

I would have bet money on him winning. I thought it was going to be predictable that he would win and didnt see Punk winning at all. What someone said above is interesting. After Shelton missed the power bomb on MVP to the outside, he did it again and MVP looked like he landed bad and smashed his head. Maybe he was actually booked to win it but couldnt continue so they told Punk to go for it and that might be the reason why the ending was lame...

Not sure. Hopefully Punk does alright this time, as i said, I'm a fan of his so im happy he has it, but wouldv been good to see Shelton given a chance. Or Kane another title.

kobi kingston is pretty good on the mitb/wm debut

this was a really good MITB in my opinion, except the ending

there were some great spots such as sheltons flip off the ladder, and kofi running up the ladder. however, shelton botched the powerbomb on mvp which was a shame.

kofi kingston was awesome in his MITB and WM debut: he was easily the best participant and i would see him as a strong contender for next year.

shame Punk won it - i was amazed last year when he won it; it sucked then. a year later after a crappy title reign - it sucked even more. mvp or shelton should have won it.

I loved the money in the bank this year. I believe it was on the same level of past MITB. The main difference being not as many hard bumps where taken (as with MITB before ie. John Morrison's moonsalt off of the top rope to the others on the floor while holding the ladder.) This year was mostly things never seen before (Kofi's 4 foot jump and running up the ladder with Mark Henry etc.)

My biggest issue with this years match was the winner. CM Punk did absolutly NOTHING the entire match. Sheldon took a huge leap off of the ladder, Kofi did everything but Jump up and grab it etc. CM Punk did nothing IMO and for him to win it in the EXACT same manner as last year was a let down.

But what do I know? I really enjoyed all of WM25!

Thoughts?

Punk winning was not what I expected, but good. A lot of good spots, it was crazy seeing it in person. So different from watching on tv. Since CM Punk probably was not supposed to win it originally last year, that may be why he won it this time. I bet that he will get a much better title reign this time around. The question is, when will he cash it in and for which title?

Punk winning twice is just stupid. His first title reign was awful. He's so boring in the ring, he is not very good on the mic and his gimmick isn't much better. good for the whole PG thing, but i don't like it. I wanted Kane or christian to win it. Kane deserves a push before he retires, he's been loyal to WWE forever.

Christian is awesome and should have won it over punk. He is pretty over and is good on the mic and decent in the ring. Sadly, Vince doesn't agree, which dooms Christian to the midcard i assume.

but punk shouldn't have won. Anyone but him and henry should have won.

Winning MITB twice isn't stupid. Edge did it.

CM Punk winning MITB twice (at this point in time) is.

CM Punk winning MITB after he did absolultly nothing in. Thats stupid.

CM Punk winning MITB in the exact same fashion that he did the year before. Thats stupid and Boring.

What a fucking sorry, absolute joke this was. Goodness this fucking sucked. a total, utter mess. Please WWE, lets finally scrap this shit, or at least alter it greatly.

The majority of the spots were botched, and botched badly, making them all look pretty laughable. Pretty damn embarassing. Having Punk win wasnt real exciting, as was evidenced by the live crowd booing as he took down the case

Just a total all around failure. I guess the Shelton flip was sorta cool, if not totally phony. Whatever. 5/10
