Chris Jericho SHOOTS On Who Created WWE Money In The Bank!

He's not wrong for once. If you hang the paper on the top of the arena, issue is if the paper would fly off. So it needs something heavy to hold... therefore a briefcase. Still I didn't expect that Chris Jericho's the reason they have MITB.

[@thenotoriousroc3508]

They don't need to retire the match. They've just had champions they're reluctant to take the belts off of because their metrics show solid business w/'em in the championship position(s).. The WWE just needs to book ppl into the match that could believably beat & dethrone the champ frm the time they're booked in the match. & Not book mitb as a developmental-prop. (Guys like Edge & Chris J. Didn't need further polishing or development; mic/in-ring all-around total package(s) primed for possible title run(s) & the wwe actually 'pulled-the-trigger' on them becoming champ as pay-off outcome. Proven solid concept when done right.. (No slight of DP, he's got it all & i think he'd make a great world champ, but the payoff follow-through is wwe pulling trigger, & booking him to win a main event title. (Either off of Roman or Seth, as of right now the Seth route makes most sense for him currently) but as mentioned wwe's reluctant to change titles frm the current champs. I do agree it hurts the mitb prestige when the winner goes after the midcard title. [& when the mitb match winners still aren't booked strong (believable) in-general]

[@shanefrederick7731]

This idea is made believable because of what each of the 3 contributed: Jericho - how to get wrestlers on the Mania card Bryan G - creative name/wording Vince - how to make money off of it

[@SilentHotdog28]

Vince not just make money off of it, but it visually looks better than a piece of paper on a string.

[@intuitivelymagician2076]

Creative

[@domdellanooch]

It really helped legitimize it by pushing the person who won it. Edge took off like a rocket after that.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Chris had already won world titles by then, so pushing Edge was the right choice, I think in an alternate universe if Christian was the winner, things would have went similar.

[@ATCRyderX]

@@SilentHotdog28 I feel like Edge was so heavily inve$ted in by then (& a good dude/great worker), They HAD to give him that push from MidCard Singles/UpperCard Tag (where he belonged) to the top. The WWF was trying to push Edge since like late '98. That was the whole point of The Brood (which, Yeah, I don't like that fun fact either). Before The Brood, they did the whole Titantron/Vignettes "He's Coming" nonsense that really never paid off for 9/10 Superstars who were unknowns & about the same for the big names (Y2J being the MAJOR exception. Tazz perhaps - But they eventually muffed his character up beyond repair so it didn't really matter). It was one Beaver Cleavage after the next.

[@SilentHotdog28]

@@ATCRyderX Yeah Edge was the logical choice, but I think Christian could have excelled with it also. He has always been amazing on the mic, solid in the ring, can play both babyface and heel, especially heel. It would have worked.

[@joemckim1183]

It was actually a brilliant idea and eventually it lead to guys spontaneously cashing in the title shot right after a big title match. Originally I'm sure the plan was for it to be where a guy would announce his title shot in advance but this is so much a better way to do not knowing when it might happen. As long as the current champ is in a WWE ring he can get cashed in on.

[@LG215x]

Nah from the very beginning it was meant to be an anytime anywhere type thing.. they pushed that aspect from the beginning when talking about the terms of the contract.. also it’s not the first time we’ve seen that since the hardcore title also operated that way.

[@HHHBFResurrected]

I actually think Edge doing that on the 1st go round was a mistake. It made perfect sense for him, the concept & was a great moment, but it set that precedent too early. It's inherently a heel prop, so to maximize it's long term value as a really cool & unique idea the first couple of winners should've been babyfaces cashing in clean. If you look back at MITB's history, there's only a couple of memorable cash-in's & that's part of the reason why. They popped it's potential too soon.

LOL & There was no Irvin R. Scheister in that game. They also had a like 27 Inch CRT Television & a Camcorder. Nothing made sense but the shovel, Tables, 2x4's & Chairs.

The fact that Edge didn’t want to do it is kinda crazy considering that when I think about the money in the bank match Edge is who comes to mind.

[@johnnybacklund153]

Now that Vince is out, a part of me wants Jericho to end his career (whenever the time comes) in the WWE. Imagine (as cheesy as it may sound) Royal Rumble and number 30 is coming out, as the countdown hits 4 it changes to Jerichos classic countdown (just to get the fans going) and Judas starts playing. He comes in and maybe wins it or juuuust loses it just to get some storyline going, eventually after a few months he wins a title and has a really good title run for some months, not 1 month or 2, at least 5-7 and maybe end with a (again, cheesy) title vs career match thing at Mania wyere he loses (maybe he is a heel up to that match but the crowd still cheers)

[@robineir]

I actually loved the championship scramble. It provides a lot of tension to who could win. The first two guys have the best chance of making a pinfall, but the last guy comes out with the most energy, but he might not have enough time to take the win. Just stack the match with 3 guys who can believably win the match story-wise and you’re cooking with fire

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

There are so many good things they could still do today that they don't. For example the crowd keeps chanting meat every time two beef planets collide. I would make an entire meat division and then have a title especially for these guys. This way you can have Otis, Ivar, Bronson Reed, And everybody who looks like they do (And you don't have to have a specific height and weight) But you just know if you have a big fat guy that you bring them in and you build this division up people are going to love it. Of course guys like Wardlow, Powerhouse Hobbs, Miro and similar bodybuilds can be inside of it too because we want to see these super heavyweights fight it out. This would allow you to showcase guys that normally don't get to be showcased because not everyone is a Big Show and not every giant can work with every small guy (looking at you Omos). I think this would capitalize a lot on a trend that people want. Furthermore I would have what I would call a Bruiserweight division. The Chris Benoit's That are just under 6 ft tall and know how to handle a ton of chops and technical wrestling. We're talking about your big strong boys like Tyler Bate and the British strong style. The Japanese strong style. Maybe a couple of select lucha libre guys. Shinsuke Nakamura, & a lot of that NXT roster would work well in it. This way each division has a certain flavor. Then you separate the RAW and the Smackdown brands And you can distinctively keep the big boys on one and the smaller guys on the other. And then the normal division can be run across promotionally. This way each show has a distinct flavor and you can find out which ratings are doing better without them intermingling. The heavyweight division will always be the heavyweight division and the intercontinental and US titles will always be irrespective of the other divisions. Now the one problem will be you've got too many titles. That's kind of understandable. So I would not have two world titles in this situation. I would make one universal champion and then that would be the big boy over the entire company. This way the intercontinental title could basically be the main title on the flagship show of RAW and the United States title could be the main title on Smackdown. Then the bruiserweight title and the meat title could act as secondary titles on each show which would basically be the brand distinction. So you have your niche title which would be your hardcore and your European title If we were doing this 1990s style, then you would have your brand title which would be the intercontinental in the US title, and then you would have the WWE title which would be the total company title. Everything would be tiered properly. If you make an argument in that case there would not be too many titles.
