Courting WWE

Phoenix has been courting WWE for years to bring in Wrestlemania. The company has finally agreed to do it.

Kofi Kingston Wins Money in the Bank


WWE needs to take a chance at Wrestlemania 25 by having Kofi Kingston win the Money in the Bank match.



"Kofi Kingston Wins Money in the Bank."

That's the headline that I want to write about during the week after Wrestlemania 25.

If I'm able to write about that, then that means that WWE decided to think outside the box and push Kofi Kingston.



Outside the Box



Generally, WWE decides to go the path where the Money in the Bank winner ends up capturing the title.

Edge used his Money in the Bank winning to steal the title from John Cena at New Year's Revolution 2006.

Later on that year, Rob Van Dam cashed in his Money in the Bank stipulation to win the WWE Heavyweight Championship for the very first time.

Edge stole the Money in the Bank stipulation from an injured Mr Kennedy and used it to cash in against the Undertaker.

CM Punk shocked the world when he captured the World Heavyweight Championship from Edge.

Losing the Bank


The Money in the Bank idea was a brilliant one by WWE.

However, it doesn't always have to build towards someone winning the World or WWE title at the end of the storyline.

It could just be something where they use the Money in the Bank stipulation to build up a midcard wrestler.

Doing it right would give him enough momentum to where wrestling fans will more likely believe that the wrestler is worthy of a main event spot.

For instance, WWE can spend several months doing storylines where other wrestlers challenge Kofi Kingston for the briefcase.

Kofi Kingston can build up crowd support as the underdog that's fighting to save his chance at stardom.

Cashing In


Eventually, though, you're going to have to put Kofi Kingston in a pay per view main event to challenge for the belt.

By that point, he should have a lot more momentum than he does now.

WWE can even do a title match for Kofi Kingston at the Royal Rumble. That pay per view generally has been one where WWE puts non main event wrestlers in title matches (ie Hardcore Holly).

Kofi Kingston can come close to winning the belt, but in the end, he would have to lose the match.

By next year's No Way Out pay per view, he should have enough momentum to actually be in the Elimination Chamber matches.

(Not my opinion. My source's opinion.)

I Love Money : WWE Results

BR to become PayMaster.

John Cena eliminates Mark Henry.
Umaga eliminates The Miz.
Big Show eliminates Shawn Michaels.
John Cena eliminates. Big Show.
Umaga eliminates John Cena.

Umaga (AngelMessiah) is the PayMaster!!

BR to be in the Box.

Melina eliminates Kelly Kelly.
Maria eliminates Melina.
MVP eliminates Santino Marella.
MVP eliminates Maria.
JTG eliminates MVP.

Kelly (AngelMessiah), Melina (Dr LL) and Santino (Stickie) finds their way in the strongbox and one of them will be eliminated.

I will try and get a hold of AngelMessiah so he can eliminate somebody for tomorrow.

HMMMMM Intereting Hailey.... Im not sure if Kofi Kingston is ready for this type of push yet. WWE Should consider using Morrison or MVP or Shelton. Poor Dude really deserves it

yeah i am feeling a MVP or Morrison win.....although Kofi has the creds to do it in sorts......we cant expect everyone to wait for 4-5 years before they are "ready" for a world title...there is no such thing as ready...there are plenty of people that get pushed straight away people like goldberg and lesnar...went straight to the top....and whos to say him winnning it means winning a title.....i can see this years winner losing it....cos everyone so far has won...there nees to be a break in the mould

Yur not very lucky are you. :P

Twice Melina has found her way into the Box of Elimination. Hoping Umaga doesn't eliminate you, because we all know Kelly is not leaving, because Kelly is also from Angel.

It's either Melina or Santino leaving.
