I was watching MITB 2014 the other day to serve as amusement during my meal(I don't have a TV and the only things I can watch are downloaded stuff or wrestling promos on youtube).
I watched the MITB match for the contract first, obviously because that match preceded the main event MITB ladder match for the vacant WWE WHC.
I haven't really watched MITB matches from 2013, or many others in the past, simply on account of my decreased interest in wrestling and the lack of "specialty" because every other Joe had seemed to be thrown into those matches. (The Miz, for instance).
The match consisted of Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone else) and was amazingly choreographed and executed from start to end. I think Rob Van Dam was the best showman of the match in offence and Seth Rollins the best showman when it came to taking the most amount of falls on ladders and beatings. The match was coherent and told a story- Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. The only anticlimactic aspect was Kane's direct involvement in Seth's ascension to the ladder and withdrawal of the briefcase. Excellent match nonetheless.
Then I watched the second MITB match . With 8 huge stars and 5 former champions, it felt like the match should've had only 6 candidates and I really felt like Sheamus wasn't needed in it, nor Alberto Del Rio. It's awful how indifferent the audience was during Sheamus' entrance but then what has that fella done that would make one want to cheer or boo him! ? To sum it up, the match was everything that is Anti-Ladder match and Un-entertaining, unless you liked the Roman Reigns grimaces and John Cena's usual lousily done 5-knuckle shuffle. I understand that all these guys are super heavyweights and not really showmans such as Rob Van Dam and Kofi Kingston. But even then, the match lacked coherence and choreography. It seemed like a bunch of kids played that match on their XBOX or something. Whereas Dolph Ziggler , RVD, Rollins and others gave so much , which is what a MITB match should be, here we had John Cena with his usual 5-knuckle shuffle !!! But what else do you expect from John Cena? The very fact that John Cena decides to participate in a MITB match should be warning enough about its low quality. And then you had Kane who's not exactly as agile as he was in 2005.
The conclusion is that whenever a MITB is entirely comprised by heavyweights, and lousy and semi-athletic wrestlers like Bray Wyatt, John Cena, and Roman Reigns, the match is going to be below mediocre. I do think that combat between Sheamus and Cesaro providing something mildly exciting in that match , but it was simply no match for the previous MITB match.
To what extent do you agree? How did you find this match? What other MITB matches in the past do you think were very awful and why?
