Meh, this is why i stopped watching wrestling..all the good talent went to TNA and everything is so predictable. Of course the winner of MITB is going to cash his briefcase right after the championship match and go to town on the champion and win, it's all been done before :(
Also, well done Kane, i think 1997 was the last time he was the world champion?

I enjoyed the 2 MITB ladder matches to be honest,I thought burying Show was funny , but nothing that ROH hasn't done in the past :lol:

The 2 women'smatches were awful, Eve Torres at least is trying new things , but not quite pulling them off, and Alicia Fox is so basic , I am surprised she's on the main rosta :|

Dunno whether he's getting a push because he put in a bit more work, or he put in a bit more work because he's getting a push, but Kane's looking fitter than I've seen him for a good few years

nah was 98 or 99 i think. he debuted in 98 if i remember correctly. been a long time, and he deserves it, even if i am a little annoyed that we didnt crown a scottish champ :eyes:

am i the only one shocked that the miz is now a future wwe champion?

undertakers taking his title at summerslam. im calling that right now. i think undertaker was supposed to take the title at fatal four way and kanes push is heading towards undertaker winning the title when he comes back. or, i could be completely wrong and kane could keep the title for months.
or, he could lose it to drew mcintyre soon :eyes:

I'm not shocked, the improvement he has made in the past 18 months is astonishing,and the fact that most people hate his guts, shows how good he is at putting his character across

Wait... We hate his guts now?

I couldn't ever hate Kane. He's Kane. It'd be like hating The Rock or Stone Cold or Goldust or X-Pac or Road Dogg or Mick Foley or any of my other childhood favourites.

Ahem.

I'm totally paying attention :eyes:

But I still don't hate the Miz. Mainly because he's just a massive troll.

im a fan of miz, i just really didnt expect that. i honestly thought orton or edge were going to win it. in fact i was saying just as it looked like evan bourne was going to win that it was guaranteed to be edge or orton :eyes: im quite glad though as orton and edge have both been champion enough times
in fact im pleased with both money in the bank winners :o i just wonder how long it'll be til miz gets the title

Kane has deserved it for a very long time , he jobbed for nearly 2 years :(

I just don't get why Alicia Fox is anywhere near a ring at the moment, she is so basic, and Eve Torres tries new stuff, but isn't strong enough to pull off what she is trying, why Gael Kym is still jobbing for everyone is beyond me, she has more talent and credibility in her toe than 90% of every women on the rosta :|

MITB was decent though I had both ladder matches spoiled by accidentally finding out the winners. Don't care about Kane, good for him though. He's been around forever and never made it through the glass ceiling. Delighted for The Miz. He's a decent wrestler and brilliant on the mic, I love the bloke. The cage match was predictable. <C> would be beaten up, get his signature spots in, look like he's about to win but Nexus interfere and allow Sheamus to get away with it. Yawn. It would have been more of a surprise if Nexus hadn't bothered.

Gabriel and <C> on top of the cage: :rofl: He really is a rabbit in the headlights and stopped everything to concentrate on his bump.

Instead of introducing the Spanish spud team they should just come out from the start and tell everyone a table will be put through. :lol:
