What if Shawn enters MITB?

[rrm15]

What if Shawn takes out one of the MITB competitors before or during the match, takes the briefcase, and cashes it in on 'Taker at Wrestlemania?

I'd mark.

It'd be more interesting than yet another Punk win, that's for sure.

[American Dragon]

Meh, kind of seems like a waste, it's not really benefiting anyone in the long-run like it would with a younger talent winning.

It's a pretty cool idea, though.

[rnrk supports BLM]

Then we'd get page after page of posts complaining that Michaels is berrying the midcard.

But I'd still mark.

[tigericho]

I don't think it will happen because I'm sure WWE will give HBK a match at Mania'. But I think it'll be Christian with the case.

[rrm15]

There are a lot of fun scenarios that could happen with this same basic idea.

1) Shawn becomes the first person to ever lose the MITB match after cashing in, causing him to totally lose it and do a full fledged heel turn.

2) Shawn wins and turns heel anyway, turning into a Jerico-like SRS character who doesn't see how his actions are wrong.

3) Shawn loses the MITB ladder match itself, starting a feud with whoever does win.

4) A swerve and Shawn cashes it in on the other champion, possibly Triple H.

I like all four of these. Awesome thinking man.

Digging #1 and #3 the most.

I'm thinking Kofi needs to win it this year...but I support heel or completely insane Shawn Michaels.

[repomark]

This is a great idea. Would be an unexpected way of playing it and there would be several different directions they could go in with it. I think Shawn entering the SD Elimination Chamber is more likely, but I really like this idea.

Not everything has to be about benefitting the younger talent. This would be a cool Wrestlemania moment. I would support it.

MITB can be used to elevate someone, but its not like someone such as John Morrison needs MITB to break into the main event. All he needs is a great main event program with someone like Jericho.

If anything the whole MITB thing is stale. One of the last things they have left to do with it is have someone cash it in AT Wrestlemania. Sitting through another few months of the whole WILL HE CASH IT IN thing would be very tiresome to me.

[Perd]

That would be cool. I like the idea of HBk losing and becoming crazier.

[Zen411]

What if he wins it and then uses it to get Taker at WM27? Can't you use it up until the next WrestleMania?

He could even bash whoever fights Taker at Mania this year to make sure that they arent the one to end the streak. That would start an instant feud between that guy and HBK.

[Deleted]

I like the idea of Michaels entering Money in the Bank and losing, then going crazy over it.

[indymadman]

I have been telling anyone who would listen to me that THIS is what should happen.

HBK gets into the Elimination Chamber... doesn't win....

He tries all the way up to WM to bait UT into fighting him... tries to take out his competition... anything to get a match vs. UT.

Then, when all is lost... he gets into the MITB match (like the original post suggested) and we finally see somebody cash it in at WM vs. the UT (who retains in original match)...

Personally, I'd like this to be the way the streak ends... it would be controversial enough to debate whether it "counts" or not... the streak needs to end... its fake... its not a real streak... so use to to have some compelling tv...

If Punk wins MITB again this year, I would mark so hard my body would turn inside out.

[comahan]

Except that Jericho will have the belt going into Mania, I like it

[Professor Chaos]

This would be really fresh... HBK hasn't mentioned this attempt yet at getting at Taker. I'd rather see this than a Jericho-Edge title match where the outcome is already automatic.

[Dub H]

Getting in the MITB?Yes i would love

Winning?no

I'd laugh and mark
