So, what do people predict is going to happen in regards to Money In The Bank this year? I wasn't massively following the TV shows last year so i'm not sure if there were qualifiers for last years? I hope there are this year, can see a lot of interesting midcard matches coming from them.

As far as who i'd LIKE to see in there, then probably Christian, Kofi, Morrison, Mysterio, Bourne, Benjamin, Helms and MVP. Only issue with that i guess is that i don't feel any of them are really ready to step it up to main event status, and would probably result in another Punk reign.

There seems to be a wealth of people who could be in there though, add to my list Kendrick, R-Truth, Kane, Knox, Koslov, Miz, Jericho, Punk, etc, etc...

My thoughts are very incoherent, so lets hear yours!

I believe there were qualifiers last year. I hope there are again too, it makes MITB seem a bigger deal and allows for some good matches too. It wouldn't make sense for guys to compete in that sort of match without earning the right.

There are a lot of guys who would be good choices to compete in the match this year. I wouldn't like to see Christian in the match because I want to see the ECW title defended, with him facing Swagger. That could be very good. I think it is often a waste of talented guys having them thrown into this match, especially if they are big names.

Not everybody in a MITB match has to be a potential World Champion within the next year, but I think you need at least 3 who COULD win it to avoid it being predictable.

I always like a big man in MITB. If they are not using Umaga for anything else, I would use him in it, but I would definitely prefer him to have a one on one match. Kozlov would be another one who could feature as the monster in the match, taking out all the high fliers with brute strength.

I imagine Chris Jericho will be facing Mickey Rourke or a legend such as Austin. CM Punk could be in the match but I think this would be a waste of him. That said, he is obviously not getting pushed in a big angle anytime soon, and the IC title is never defended at Mania, so I can see him getting thrown into this match for a third successive year. Rey Mysterio would be good to see in the match, and as a former World Champion would add star power. Then you have Kennedy and MVP from Smackdown who would both be good additions, although I think it would be too repetitive having all these guys in it. MVP is on a role though, and if he has nothing else to do at Mania, he should definitely be in it and possibly win. Someone like Kofi could work.

It HAS to be 6 men rather than 8. 8 really is too many.

I guess my thoughts arn't very coherent either...

I'm getting kind of sick of the MITB match. It's always a great match and all, but there are so many things that people over look. When was the last time we've seen the Intercontinental Championship defended at a Wrestlemania? I don't even remember, because I'm so used to seeing the IC champ in the MITB match. Also, if Morrison is in it again, the Tag Titles won't be defended. I personally don't think Mania has enough Tag matches at all.

If I had to pick my top 8 to compete in the match, I'd say:
Rey Mysterio
Kane
Vladimir Kozlov
Kofi Kingston
The Brian Kendrick
Christian
Finlay
Mike Knox

If the E' follows through the pattern that they have over the fours years it's been active a heel is bound to win this year,
wm 21 Edge (Heel)
WM 22 RVD (face)
Wm 23 Kennedt (Heel at that time)
WM 24 cm Punk (face)
I just can't see rising star that's a heel that could use the rub for the Main event already, all upcoming stars are pretty much already established or are faces and would throw my observation out the window entirely

It won't necessarily be a heel. That pattern is coincidential I imagine.

The problem is, WWE don't really know how to push guys. Anybody winning this would seem strange because nobody who isn't already a main eventer could look good enough to be one within a year.

I have:
R-Truth
Kennedy
Shelton Benjamin
Christian
Finlay
Brian Kendrick
Evan Bourne
Cody Rhodes

Christian would win and I'd like to see him do an un-prettier off the ladder to someone.

I'm calling Christian and Bourne representing ECW. Kendrick, Benjamin and R-Truth representing Smackdown and Rhodes, Dibiase and Kingston representing Raw. That'd be the perfect eight guys to fill out that match and make it an exciting ladder match. I'd rather guys like Knox and Kozlov stay as far away from the now annual near show stealing spot fest that is the MITB. Out of the eight I mentioned Christian or Dibiase would be the ideal choices to win the thing. Christian because they could use it to ignite a possible Edge / Christian feud, and Dibiase because I call him being the break out star of 2009 and him holding that case for most of the year could catapult him into mega stardom.. a solid feud with Orton or Cena could make that kid.

My 8

Kofi Kingston
Rey Mysterio (He'll best Knox to qualify)
John Morrison
The Miz (He and Morrison could win a tag match against Cryme Tyme or The Colons to qualify)
Ted Dibiase (He'll beat Cody Rhodes)
Umaga (He'll squash somebody)
Evan Bourne
THE Brian Kendrick

I'm not sure who the others would beat to qualify.

I got(and in parenthesis why they could win or why they can be in this match):

Rey Mysterio(Former champ this is the only way i can see him winning again.)
Kofi Kingston(Brings good high flying and if he has any chance of becoming a world champ this is the only i think )
Santino (for comical purposes)/Kane( a big man)
Kennedy( i think i may be time for him to win a woeld title)
MVP(same as kennedy^)
Umaga(not quite sure why he would win but he can be a good fit in this match.)
Christian(to go to SD and beat edge or someone)
John Morrison(i think he could be ready)

I think if they may have a SD star win because if jeff ever wins the title again i think they would use the MIB as a safety in case another "incedent" happens and they fire him beacuse of it.
