Vince is taking elevating IC title calls too literally

Vince is taking elevating IC title calls too literally That seems like such a Vince thing to do, I'm pretty sure that's what's happened.

Lol, why the hell would anyone want to win the loser belt. If I were Bryan/Ziggler/Ambrose, I'd stay the f*** away from this match. Then again in Ambrose's case, nothing would change once he wins the belt.

I don't want Truth in this match. If WWE are so cognizant of the fact that they need a black guy on the card in a slightly prominent role, just book your mid-card reasonably well throughout the year.
I'd like to see an angle where Big E steps away from New Day a bit and gets into this match.

I understand the need to build up multiple contenders but a) why a ladder match, b) Barrett to look like a goober, c)technically speaking, the only reason this match takes place is because Dean, quite illegally, forced Wade into a title match.

I would do: - BNB - Ambrose (winner) - Ziggler - Truth - Harper - Christian That's right.... Christian. He hasn't worked in a year (ironically, his last match was beating Ziggler/ADR/Sheamus to win the #1 contender for the IC title) and he's all but done, but it would be neat if his last match was a ladder match at Mania. He could take a big bump for Harper/Barrett to send him off for good. I think this is a great idea, given that Christian has retired because of multiple concussions.

They only need Barrett, Ziggler, Ambrose and Bryan
I have no idea why Truth is involved.

I'd like to see an angle where Big E steps away from New Day a bit and gets into this match. The only black guy I want in this match is Mark Henry if he's healthy. He's the only one who wouldn't feel out of place with the other participants. Otherwise, they shouldn't even bother.

I could see WWE realizing that the vast majority of their minority performers will be nameless in a Battle Royal so they're trying to avoid a #WrestlemaniaSoWhite situation by sticking Truth in there. He's been largely absent before this, popping up briefly as Ziggler's buddy and then disappearing except for the occasional job.

Ideally for me it would be Barrett vs Ziggler vs Bryan vs Sheamus vs Harper vs Ambrose vs Mystery entrant
Mystery entrant being Benjamin, if only for old time sake. But I would take the 6 above no problem at all without surprise entrant being someone amazing in ladder matches.
I agree with the people who see no need for Truth being there, especially as they could use his spot for Harper

What about y2j? He missed wm30 and this would be a fitting scenario for a return Esp since he Kayfabe invented the mitb concept ten years ago. Him in there with bryan and ziggler etc would be sweet.

Yeah, that's very possible, considering they always have a black guy on the early Mania promos, and having one alongside the three most over babyfaces on the roster could be a shrewd business move.

That, and Vince seems to like R-Truth. After all... (I don't know even know if it's true or not. I just love that photo)

Eh, I'm over ladder matches in general. They're a remnant of a bygone era IMO.

So if BNB loses this match, (which he probably will) what does that say about his IC title run? Has he even won a match since getting the title?
Just saying that BNB is going to look like a buffoon after this and will need some serious rebuilding.

Just saying that BNB is going to look like a buffoon after this and will need some serious rebuilding. Off the top of my head he's won two matches: Vs. Sin Cara (IC Title Match) Vs. Dean Ambrose (By DQ, IC Title Match) Yup, he's only won title matches.

This match should be awesome but I don't know about putting your 3 most over faces in the same match which will probably open the show. WrestleMania will be all downhill after that.
