Why there MUST be a MITB match at WM 27

[Cleavo77]

Alright, I know this is mostly wishful thinking, but this is my last shot hope at there being a Money in the Bank match at this years WM. I know some of you are convinced that there CAN NOT be a MITB match due to the ppv, but I'm still not convinced. I also know that I'm not alone in hoping there still will be a MITB match either. So here's my logic.

WM 27 is this Sunday. Raw has passed, Smackdown has been recorded. There has been and will be no mention of MITB on WWE TV before WM. But let's take a second to look at the facts.

1) There is still PLENTY of room for another match, especially one that we know fans will love to watch.

2) It has been a WM staple since 2005, giving mid-card superstars the chance to shine.

3) Most importantly, look at all the leftover stars with nothing to do as of this WM.

Kofi- Not only did he just drop the title to Barret who is too busy in this 8 man tag to defend it, but also lost his only shot at a match at WM.

Christian- Obviously he will be involved in the WHC match in some capacity, but that doesn't mean he can't participate in a MITB match earlier.

Mark Henry- No mania match, and every MITB match needs a big dude.

Evan Bourne- Recently back from injury, needs something to boost his rep.

Ryder- Not a lot of air time as of late, good chance to get him some TV time.

McIntyre- Not long ago he was McMahon's "chosen one". Possibly a good chance for him to win it all for a Main Event push?

Tarver and/or Sheffield- Just a good way to get them back on TV.

The list could go on, including names such as Khali, Masters, JTG, etc.

All I'm saying is that I am a huge fan of this match and I look forward to it every year. And to be completely honest, it seems as if Mania needs it this year more than ever, as it seems all the mid-carders and jobbers not in matches are simply getting the shaft. Don't get me wrong, I love that MITB is it's own ppv now, but still, WM just doesn't feel the same without it.

So here's the question:

1) If WWE decided to include a MITB match, who and how many superstars would you include

2) Who would you have win it?

3) How would you have the winner cash in?

Dude, seriously? It's fucking Wednesday. Wrestlemania is Sunday. How the fuck do you think they can throw together a MiTB match with this little preparation?

I get it, it's a bit disappointing that they won't be having a MiTB match this year but man, it's time to let it go now. You'll have the PPV coming up this Summer, it'll be ok.

Oh I get what you're saying man, and that's my fault, I shoulda put that in the original post. I'm saying this would be more of a surprise match. Something to excite the crowd. Obviously they would have had to put it together sooner, but I was simply suggesting this could be an unexpected addition. I do see how it is implausible, but hey, that's what the forums are for right?

i agree, sometimes they chuck together a match quickly and add it to the pay per view, usually on different pay per views i think and not wrestlemanias but if they wanted to they sure could surprise us with a last minute match, whether it will happen i have no idea, but we will soon see

I am hoping they will have one and it is just a surpise match, a MITB match is one of the best matches WWE has to offer. 8-10 guys fighting to get the briefcase is enough to get any audience on their feet and cheering. i think there is a possibilty with kofi, drew, evan, mark, christian not in WM27 yet.

This is not going to happen, plain and simple. While these matches need absolutely no build prior to start time, too many stars are involved in other feuds. The two biggest stars available are Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre. Christian and Jack Swagger aren't realistic options (as if any of this is even possible) given their involvement in major matches.

The guys left off of this card really mean nothing. Zack Ryder? Listen, I know the fanboys cream their shorts for the guy, but he's a jobber, plain and simple. Same goes Evan Bourne and Mark Henry. People just don't care about them. Sheffield and Tarver? I like both guys, a lot, but Sheffield hasn't been seen in months, and Tarver isn't even hanging around backstage anymore.

Trust me, I really wanted this match to happen. It's a great way to kick off Mania, helps to create a new star, etc. Also, I was hoping if this match took place at Mania, they could dump that idiotic gimmick PPV. No such luck. It's gone, and until that PPV is dead and buried, I don't see it coming back to Mania.

To be perfectly honest, it doesn't really bother me that there won't be an MITB match at WrestleMania. I know it became something of a WM tradition but when you consider that the concept now has it's own ppv with each brand getting an MITB match, having one at WM now is just plain redundant. Until/unless the MITB ppv concept is scrapped, there's no need to have one at WM.

When you look at the card this year, there are plenty of opportunities for young talent to really shine. There are a lot of young guys on the card this year that can walk away with a career enhancing performance if WWE books them the right way.

I don't care that there isn't a MITB match at Wrestlemania. The first one was great but the others have been average. You have Mysterio vs. Rhodes and Sheamus vs. Bryan which is great to have midcard matches and feuds without throwing them into a MITB match. Since you have the MITB PPV, I don't see the need to have one Sunday.

I agree with the others who stated they dont really care for it not being in this year....imo MITB was entertaining at Mania, but it was almost a crutch to help out a poor card for the PPV....it was almost automatically ALWAYS the best match of the night...thats not what Mania is about, spots and weapons all over the place.....storytelling and good wrestling matches is what Mania is about....regardless if there are certain guys who didnt make it onto the card, they will just have to miss out...theres always next year...lets take a look at the guys that wouldve possibly been in it this year:

Evan Bourne- has already been in 2
Sheamus- is already a former 2 time world champ
Daniel Bryan- wouldve gone in the US champ
Christian- has already been in like 4 of them so far
John Morrison- has already been in 2 or 3
Mark Henry- has been in 2
R-Truth- will never be world champ
Ted DiBiase- been in one, but has a long way to go
Big Show- been in one, was not that good
Kane- already won one
Drew McIntyre- participated in 2 and has a long way to go
Jack Swagger- already won the match but still has a long way to go
Kofi Kingston- has been in 3 of them
Ziggler- been in 2

see my point? Evan Bourne, Mark Henry, Drew McIntyre, Truth, DiBiase have no reason to win it.....it would be overkill for Swagger, Sheamus, Big Show and Kane to win....Daniel Bryan is not ready for it yet...Ziggler or Morrison were the only two deserving of winning it which meant the match could not happen....Since they are involved with Snooki, theres no point because they are the only 2 truly deserving, and it would have been disappointing had the other one not won....we'll just wait till July for it, no big deal....not to mention that 7 of the guys above have all been in one TOGETHER....that wouldve been a recycled match
