Personally I've gotten the feel from all the WrestleManias after WMXIX that they're cramming as many people on the card as they can. I really like the concept of MITB, the matches are always amazing, and it makes for a great storyline with the winner, but I think we'd be better served by having more singles/tag matches with build to them. When nearly the whole roster gets on the card it doesn't make it as special to have a match at Mania. Not to mention we have the US, IC, and WWE Tag titles not being defended because the champions are in the MITB match. It makes those title seem more useless than they already are, and think about the matches we could have if these guys weren't in the MITB. Jericho vs. Kennedy, MVP vs. Matt Hardy (still don't know why this isn't happening), Morrison and the Miz vs. Dreamer and Delaney (or Jesse and Festus, or Deuce and Domino, heck, even against Moore and Yang). I think we'd be better off without the match honestly.

While it is a FUN MATCH , It's definitely ruining my enjoyment of Wrestlemania. The match is a cop out for the creative team having to write storylines for 6-8 wrestlers. It also takes away from having ic/us/and tag title matches at Wrestlemania - which at least for me, was a part of the show I always looked forward to. Now those title matches have become a dying breed.

I like it, because it's the closest thing we'll have to King of the Ring again.

Agreed. They should drop it.
I'd like to see an IC title defense during WM sometime again before I die.

I like it, but it shouldn't be done every year. They should work it into a storyline every so often like 12-18 months like the Elimination Chamber. So far history shows whoever wins the MITB or wins the brief case, will become WWE or WHC. It does take away better potential matches at Wrestlemania.

Should be good like every year. The fact that Shelton is in it this year makes me more excited about it. Oh the wonderful spots we'll see this year...

I love the match itslef but wasnt looking forward to this one because I felt it was just a match to get Hardy more over. Now he is out and all is right with this match. Not a Morrison fan, but hey the rest of the competition looks awesome.

They don't think they have enough time to build a match between the two. I think they could have gone off all the build they've had throughout the past year. It would have just taken a few highlight videos and surprise Matt Hardy run in to make it happen.

Stop it after this year. Its ruined too many other matches that we should've seen. In fact, they really didn't even need to do it another year after the first one, they just did.
And hey, whatever happened to establishing guys to get them in the main event? Is that so retro?

i think it's really stupid and it'll become unoriginal quickly. bring back kotr, get rid of mitb.

Before this year's MITB I thought it was rediculous, but they've built this year's up beautifully.

It needs to go back to 6 guys, and no one who already has a title should be allowed in it.

I enjoy the match, but I think its an easy way out for the WWE instead of actually DOING something with their talent.

If you think about it, 'stupid' isn't the word to describe it. It's a fantastic, creative idea, but it's just that they over crowd the match. It should be good now that it's not 8. I was hoping for them to cut it back down to 6, but 7 is good enough.
