WWE Money in the Bank 2020 - spoilers, discussion, etc

B.A._Baracus

I have to say I am enjoying this.its something different. It's something new

Agent Coulson

Theres the Dino head.

seandotcomm

Vince in Jeans, casual sunday is it? man does not look well these times

Agent Coulson

Vince is showing his age these days.

PTH2009

Guessed right for the Vince camio

Some nice looking rooms in titan towers, pity there selling it

Agent Coulson

AJ with the club tee on and he is the only club member.

zompea

I'm gonna be that guy.

Watched WWF/WWE during the attitude era. WTAF is after happening?

Like - yeah, it's all scripted etc and it's entertainment, but if you take the WWE to be a universe like Marvel, I still don't get the gulf between serious and mad storylines. This would appear to be the extreme of bat **** crazy. I might be a dinosaur and I was watching WM18 before this but I've been left wondering WTAF is going on.

The setting on the roof at night with cars passing by in the background is actually class. Like something from a fighting game.

Otis saved this match because he would appear to be a ridiculous character at all times. I guess his "unable to climb a ladder" thing would make him fave right now.

He is - they say there are two major developments in your life. Growing up and growing into an adult and then on the reverse getting old and growing baby like in your movements and mobility.

Sadly for Vince be is approaching the latter. First you look old, then your body acts old.

He is prob still killing it in the gym

Asuka winning is a shock

Agent Coulson

Im good with that now hopefully she beats Becky.

ThePott

Asuka winning. Totally up for her beating Becky.
Think this probably adds fuel to the rumours that Kairi is gonna leave too.

zompea

Knew Otis would win it.

J. Marston

I don't mind Asuka beating Becky but I hope Becky beats Trish's record first.

seandotcomm

okay.....

Well that was mostly terrible

PTH2009

Didnt expect that askua and ottis

Totally true.
Fair play to ol' Vinny Mac. Wouldnt mind being the same his age.

Agent Coulson

2 and half hours of a PPV is prefect time.


Hopefully they learn longer isn't better.

sky88

Actually really liked the whole thing sillly fun and entertaining and really like the winners

ThePott

Totally down with PPVs of this length going forward tbh

As soon as he couldn't climb a ladder in the warm-up match to this Otis was the obvious choice to win in a bonkers way.

The third time I am saying in this thread that 'you read my mind' haha.

2 and a half hours is brilliant.

Did Rey and Aleister Black seriously get thrown off the roof to no acknowledgment?

There was no commentary so who is going to acknowledge it? And they only got thrown to lower level roof not the entire building.

Furious-Red

Even though it started off good that mitb match was dreadful, like i loved the WM Boneyard and Firehouse matches but felt they could have done more with this. Asuka should have spit the green mist in Corbins eyes, plus where did Shayna disappear to for the last bit of the match.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Otis lose the briefcase in a match down the line

Back watching the end of WM18 again. Even the refs were better back then.

Eh... I mean I'm aware there was no commentary, I watched it too.
A lot of people said it was off the roof. I meant like acknowledgement from the multiple refs, you would have thought there'd be screaming in terror or them freaking out. Or even once the bout was over commentary mentioning it.

I assumed it was a lower level cause no one seemed that bothered by it.

You are correct to assume the lower level. If they were going to go for the big one off the roof they would have had several different angles covering it all edited together. Hans Gruber wouldn't have gotten a look in on Nakatomi tower!

Officer999

Seen on Twitter that Asuka could pull a Edge some time soon
MITB, Royal Rumble, Tag titles, NXT women's, SD women's

She has won legit everything except the RAW women's title

Great fun. The gold standard does it again.

RollieFingers

That SD tag match was pretty good, LHP are underrated.

I suppose if you like WWE humour you'd enjoy the MITB, I thought it was awful, like a bastardised WWE version of a DDT Japan match, the food fight and the Stephanie cameo in particular were cringe.

Thought the ending to Strowman/Wyatt was pure, unfiltered wrestlecrap too, cannot take Bray seriously in his librarian attire either.

Lord TSC

It was probably the worst of the cinematic matches to date, but it's also the only match I've watched in its entirety since Mania, so I enjoyed it enough.

Thrilled Otis won the case though. He's had a great few months, has obviously been one of the biggest stars on Smackdown, and the case will elevate him more than literally any of the others in the match (any of whom can be booked into a title program in 5 seconds by just having them challenge normally). Otis winning the title would be a massive feelgood moment when the crowds come back.

I said it in the Wrestlemania 36 thread, I'll say it again, it shouldn't take a worldwide pandemic for the supposed "gold standard" of professional wrestling to step up and put on quality television.

They're bog standard, coasting on their old glories.

It's very odd they didn't show another angle or point a camera there to show they were on another level or establish it more. Most people are assuming they were thrown from the roof and they'll probably get pissed when WWE 'brings them back' with no ramifications.

Otis is booked as a comedy character nothing more, he's Vince's flavor of the month, he will be squashed when he does go to cash in as by then Vince will already be bored of him.

I wouldn't be surprised if this isnt leading to Otis using his MITB so Mandy can cash in on the Women's championship.

All Vince has done is destroyed a tag team in Heavy Machinery, waiting for the whole Tucker jealousy angle to start any day now.

CastorTroy

Can see from the aerial shots that there's a lower level where Black and Mysterio were thrown. But waiting for an update that Corbin has been fined for murdering them.
They seem pretty sure that Otis won, even though AJ actually won. He had it in his hands, however briefly.
And only half the women even made it to the roof for some reason. Dana was just in it for a couple comedy spots.
Something very wrong with Brother Love zipping up his trousers after saying "I love you".
And was that meant to be Doink?
Asuka should've won a lot sooner with the head start she had.
They got the women off the roof and the hook for their case away pretty quickly.

And now I'm wondering do all office buildings in America have a room with caskets, dry ice and mood lighting?

ThePott

I saw it in the wide shot alright but couldn't figure out what side they had been thrown off. Still seems odd they didn't show a shot of them on the lower level.
Aleister Black tweeted out a picture of a ghost so not really sure what it was meant to be. Seems like there's real mixed messages here. People will be annoyed if they weren't thrown off the roof I think.

CastorTroy

One thing I've noticed about AJ is he's not the best when it comes to talking if not in a promo. He comes across as a serious guy who's trying to be funny. Have noticed it a few times with him.

Apart from Asuka, there was a big difference between the men's intros and the women. Like all the men come on talking smack and the women just come in and stand there politely

Someone asked me the other day how I can enjoy DDT but hate everything about modern day WWE and even if you can put aside the horrible things that WWE have done for nearly 40 years and the more than questionable ethics of the Mcmahons and you judge it purely by what's on screen the answer is still simple: they do that stuff better than WWE, it comes across more spontaneous and fun, the MITB was just a bad WWE comedy skit extended to 30 minutes, and they understand that the top of their big cards needs legitimacy to thrive. The top of the WWE card has puppets in crowds, and idiots flying off roofs and a grunting comedy guy as their next big hope apparently.

Ultimately I watched though last night and I didn't really care, I drop in for the odd ppv, that's it. I'm not the guy having to watch that stuff every week. And more and more there's a declining number of people willing to sit through it either.
