Alright here are my final thoughts on MITB, just some random obervations/predictions/opinions
I am looking forward to this match, 8 men instead of 6 will add a different dimension to this match. As good as the other matches were, there was too much 4 guys knocked out outside the ring and 2 guys fighting/doing high spots with the ladders. Having 8 guys adds to the chances that you will see multiple high spots involving multiple guys. For those who don't like this because of the craziness, are you nuts! This match is suppose to be crazy, your fighting for a chance at a title shot whenever you want! Its WM! The more Crazy it is, the better it will be. If I don't want to watch a crazy match I'll watch the Kane/Khali match, but in a MITB, crazy will make this match.
As for the participants, here are my observations. Jeff and Matt Hardy are in this match for the sole purpose to do high spots with the ladders. CM Punk I believe will also be in this role, and I think this can be a breakout match for him. For some reason I see him performing exceptionally well with ladders. Kennedy will be doing some high spots as well, and I also think this match will suit him well too. Finlay, thats a joke, he's going to be in there to 'beat ppl up' and you'll get some humor stuff with hornswoggle or whatever his name is now, but he will be a non-factor. Booker is in there for the notoriety factor, but I don't see him doing much because of his history of a bad back, they can't risk hurting him. Edge and Orton will be your typical heels in the match, and most of the high spot moves will be done on them.
Now for my predictions. I see Orton winning the MITB. This will happen in that Edge will be reaching for the briefcase, when Orton screws him by taking him out, getting the case and the shot at the title, and ending Edge's WM streak. This will then cause a feud at Backlash for the case, and maybe subsequently a larger feud? Punk I see coming close but no cigar in the match, as he will be taken out by Kennedy towards the end of the match. Punk will be noticeable frustrated in the match, and if this works to my prediction, this match will be before the new breed/originals match, which Punk will intervene in, screw the Originals over, and start his major heel turn. Kennedy will be in the final 3 running for the title, but he will be taken out by rated RKO but will get himself involved in the backlash title shot match, not sure how yet. Booker will attempt to get an alliance with Finlay, but in the end they will just take each other out. And the Hardy's will crash and burn.
These are my views, its very possible none of this turns out, but thats why its an opinion piece. All I can do now is sit back, count the days to WM, and enjoy one amazing match!
