WWE Money In The Bank 2010 Review
Kane won the Smackdown Money In The Bank Ladder Match
The first match was the Smackdown version of the Money In The Bank Ladder match and the stand out at first was none other than Big Show. Big Show was slapping everyone, and mopping up everyone, and even throwing a ladder at Kane, who took a mean bump with it. All of the competitors jumped Big Show then attacked one another. It was interesting to see that no one had the clear advantage, and each man got his own set of moves in before the final man was headed to the top of the ladder. There were some sick bumps from Christian, Kane, Drew McIntyre, and even Kofi Kingston in this one. Fat Ass Matt Hardy, my pick for the win, also put on some good moments, and the crowd rewarded him for his efforts. In fact, this first match really got the crowd going, and when Fat Ass Matt Hardy nearly had the briefcase the uproar was happening. This match was interesting, and it didn't seem like anyone had this thing won as time went on, it was truly up for grabs, and I for one wasn't sure who'd win necessarily. I mean, at one point it looked like Dashing Cody Rhodes or Kofi had this thing easily won.
Big Show didn't catch Christian at one point, and looked like a Botchamania classic. My major complaint with the match was that the spots were rushed at certain points, and the match looked sloppy with so many ladders in the ring. What made the Wrestlemania X ladder match so great was that there wasn't THAT many ladders. The ring and ringside area were flooded with Ladders and therefore this thing got crowded fast. There were also some misjudgments in height and length, and therefore some injuries looked inevitable. Hardy at one point took a shoulder to the pole and made the loudest thud I've heard for a spot of that nature. Kane, Kane was definitely a monster in this match and he immediately went to work. He even messed up the announce tables at a certain point in this match up. Kofi at one point did the Boom Drop on Drew McIntyre through the Spanish Announce table!
Best spot of the match was Ziggler falling off of a ladder into the arm of Big Show and in one fluid motion getting nearly thrown through the ring with an amazing choke slam. It was insane, the fluidity of the move was just amazing and Ziggler looked completely dead afterwards. Overall, the Big Show was the most impressive. I know, I'm waffling, but man, this match was just insane at certain points. Cody Rhodes at one point flew half way across the ring with a picture perfect drop kick off the top rope, hitting Kofi off a ladder. This thing was perfect, and then he knocked himself silly by hitting “Cross Rhodes” on Kofi into a ladder. I'm telling ya folks, this thing had some highlights! The guys buried Big show underneath all the ladders and only his Golden large ladder was left in ring, and this match started to get even more interesting with all the superstars fighting at the golden ladder. Kane chokeslammed EVERYONE and looked poised to get this one. Ziggler ran through the ropes and latched onto Kane on top of the large ladder and couldn't get the case, and then was chokeslammed on a pile of ladders with Big Show underneath them! After some last minute spots, KANE chokeslammed Drew McIntyre off the top of the ladder and won the match up. That's right, the Big Slow Machine wins the first ladder match...whatever....dude sucks.
Alicia Fox defeated Eve
This match sucked. No one cares about these women, and the match was stupid. Alicia won and retained her belt.
The Hart Dynasty defeated The USOS
Another cookie cutter match up, with no major pay off. This match took the life out of the crowd at first, and eventually warmed up. There wasn't anything great to mention here. There were a few good moments, but overall the match just felt the same as other matches these guys have already had in the past. Having the USOS lose is stupid, now who's going to feud with the Hart Dynasty? Who cares. The tag division sucks in WWE, and TNA isn't all that better...ugh...I miss the 80's.
Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger
I feel like I've seen this match before, and it wasn't all that fascinating. I still maintain my position, stating that the best match of recent history with Rey Mysterio was his match up against Dolph Ziggler last year. But aside from my harping on the two greats, this match had a few good moments. The biggest impact came from Swagger getting ddt'd from the top rope and nearly getting knocked out, only to get the 619 and the Springboard pinfall win....well....springboard into the Ankle Lock submission! Rey Mysterio, after being booked like a little kid compared to the larger and more agile Jack Swagger, wins again. I wouldn't have called this match for Mysterio, but he's being booked like the “Houdini” of World Champions, and I guess that's a positive thing? I don't know. I've seen Mysterio wrestle a lot of matches and his latest reign just sucks, and this win sucks. Mysterio won with a Huricanrana pinfall, and that was that. Screw this match, and no offense to the 619 or Lucha Libre fans, but screw Rey Mysterio and his latest title reign. Swagger's build comes crashing down as Mysterio wins again.
Minutes after Rey Mysterio won via pinfall, KANE cashed in his MONEY IN THE BANK CONTRACT! The Crowd went nuts, and I for once in my life, marked out huge for Kane. I just marked out like a school girl for the big dull machine.
Kane defeated Rey Mysterio for the World Championship
Mysterio's leg was looking bad, and Kane immediately took to work against Mysterio. He nearly crippled Mysterio with a huge chokeslam and this was just a matter of time. Mysterio got locked into a Tombstone Piledriver and KANE wins the title after cashing in the MONEY IN THE BANK briefcase! That's right, KANE is the new World Champion! Rey Mysterio was left dead in ring, and KANE is the NEW CHAMPION!
Layla defeated Kelly Kelly
This match was terrible. Kelly Kelly just couldn't get this one won. Layla and Michelle McCool continued to dominate with Michelle constantly interfering. Kelly Kelly did manage a lot of offense, but it wasn't nearly enough to win the match. McCool took some hits, and she even took a nasty fall to the outside before Layla reversed a botched sunset flip to retain the women's championship. This match sucked, I hated this crap, this was stupid. The divas suck, face it.
The Miz won the Raw Money In The Bank Ladder Match
The Raw version of the ladder match didn't start off that hot. If nothing else, the main players were Mark Henry and Evan Bourne, at least early on. Evan Bourne was just fast, he was great early on and I knew something big was going to happen with him and a huge bump, but it wasn't happening early on, he had this thing sewn up, at least for a short time. Randy Orton was probably the favorite with the fans, with a lot of RKO chants, and some choice RKO signs. All men were taking bumps, but the surprise here for me was Mark Henry. Mark Henry was quite over with the fans, which was weird, it only took some 10 years? Oh and did you know that Maryse was in playboy? Yep. I saw the pics...steamy! Oh well. Maryse at one point climbed the ladder! That's right, she climbed the ladder! Morrison grabbed her and told her to leave, and Dibiase nearly got the case, which was a nice little moment, but I would have much rather seen Morrison do a Samoan Drop on Maryse! Sensational Sherri would've taken the bump! That's for sure. Mark Henry on the outside took Edge's, Jericho's and Morrison's finisher after he gave Evan Bourne his World's Strong Slam, so he and Bourne were out of it at the turning point of this match up.
This match didn't have nearly as many hard hitting spots, although they did manage a few. It seemed like these were a little more reserved at times in this match, and maybe that was to protect from injury. Orton hit an RKO on Morrison and Orton was immediately hit with a Shooting Star press! Jericho was tied up, and Evan Bourne reached the briefcase! He couldn't get the hook off and Jericho eventually recovered! No sign of Nexus by the way. Orton had this thing wrapped up after taking out Jericho and Edge through an RKO and a toss through some ladders. He had this thing sewn up but out ran Miz and Orton went flying, and it looked like Miz had this thing won! MIZ didn't play around and actually unhooked this thing and WON! THE MIZ WON THE RAW LADDER MATCH! THE MIZ! THE MIZ THE MIZ!
Sheamus defeated John Cena in a steel cage match
This match was stupid. First of all this match was a slow moving match up. The cage as a weapon came into play, but without any blood, this thing just didn't mean a whole lot to me. Ok, blood aside, this match was your standard John Cena match, and having a ref counting a three count in the ring was just plain dumb. I hate cage matches with a ref inside the ring, it is just not worth the effort. This match went on quite a while with a great deal of offense from both men. I am telling ya, this match was slow moving, and featured a lot of breaks and slow moves.
The Nexus ran down with bolt cutters and the ref ran down and stole it from them. The Nexus then threatened the ringside ref to give them the keys, but he threw them across the ringside area to the crowd! While they argued outside Sheamus and Cena fought, and there was a ref bump. The STFU was locked in and Sheamus was tapping like a drunk man, but it didn't matter. The Nexus was contained outside and Cena was frustrated, locked inside the cage with Nexus safely at bay. This took an odd turn, and I wasn't sure where it was going to go. Cena then was trying to climb the cage but Justin Gabriel climbed to fight him and threw him into the ring! Cena kept trying to escape but the Nexus kept fighting! Meanwhile, Sheamus was trying to climb out at the other side, and Sheamus won the match by getting down first and then running threw the crowd out of the ring.
The match sucked, it just sucked. Sure, Nexus cost Cena the match, but who cares?!? Sheamus ran away so Miz couldn't cash in the briefcase. Cena then looked on at Black John Cena and decided it was time to beat him up. Yep, I'm not sure how the Universe didn't collapse on itself, but John Cena beat up Black John Cena and Michael Tarver. John Cena then threw the ring steps at Michael Tarver.
The show then ended.
This night of wrestling started off hot, but ended terribly. The Raw ladder match sucked compared to the Smackdown one, and the rest of the night was just a blurry mess. This ppv was NOT that great, but at least the first match had so much impact, that it was worthwhile.
