I agree with Goemon, Badman and Illidan. Tingle loses almost all of his matches so he doesn't deserve a MitB shot, same for Red sadly. Heavy just lost a casual shot, he needs more time imo. DK deserves a spot in MitB and Jensen could be another one. I'd also like a newcomer debut in a MitB match, it'd be hype haha. |

I just really, really want to see Illidan climb a ladder. |

Honestly, it's hard to pick the MitB match because it's literally 6 people chosen at seemingly random. If I was picking the match, I'd pick a couple faces, a couple heels and a couple people who have mixed reactions with the crowd Guile, Illidan, Ezio, Goemon, Barrett and Jensen would be my picks, but there are so many others like Cage, Ness, Groose, Heavy, Dan...I could go on. |

I've always wanted to see what would happen if any EDBW title holder showed up on the main roster, even if it wasn't permanent. I know it's far-fetched, but maybe a final MitB slot could be whoever the EDBW Hardcore champ is at that moment. means that something like MitB is right up their alley, but at the same time it's a very temporary belt and it can be taken off of them at a moment's notice, whereas MitB would give them permanence (not to mention a guaranteed spot on the main roster, something they may not have if they lose). Of course, it's just a crazy idea. It's more than likely that any temporary EDBW talent sighting in VGCW would be just a title match at End Game or The Rumble as a showcase like the Terra/Ayla match at End Game 6.Spoiler: click to toggle

They'd have to be supremely over as a face or a heel, otherwise a win and later getting the belt could get them booed to hell and back as an instant career burial. |

A heel would want that heat, and a face doesn't really have to worry about it if handled correctly. Sonic got buried in an avalanche of boos because he was an opportunistic little shit about his cash-in(s). But if a face wins he can just pull an RVD and say 'I'm cashing in for a match on <insert day here>' and just have THAT be the title match, rather than trying to prey on a weakened champion.

There are about three to four wrestlers in side shows who are over enough to debut at MitB and get away with it. I doubt it will happen though. Whether or not England wins, I feel that a Rumble should determine Scorpion's next opponent. As for MiTB, Ezio and Illidan would be my pick. Who knows how Ezio's career will turn out in few months? It could be better. Also, put Dan in it. Barret, Tingle, Vegeta and Jensen would be my pick.

Someone like King of Cosmos for a example would work. I don't know what other EDBW wrestlers are over, Travis or Goomba maybe? |

All this talk of an EDBW wrestler debuting in a MITB match put in my mind one hilarious possibility Spoiler: click to toggle

On a different note, I think it would be interesting to see a tag team #1 contenders chosen like Bryn did it once, with the fatal four way of tag team members. Except have it be composed of the tag exclusives aka Ebisu vs Diddy vs Billy/Jimmy vs wait there's only 3 crap. |

If we're talking weird Contender's matches, how about this: A match where the contendership won is different for each competitor. Like, say, a triple threat between two singles guys with varying levels of recent success and a tag team wrestler. Let's say it was between Goemon, Barrett, and Nappa. If Goemon wins then The Mystical Ninjas get a Co-Op shot, if Barrett wins then he gets a Casual shot, and if Nappa wins then he gets a VGCW title shot. Or something like that with whoever's best suited for it at that moment. Another even more convoluted idea is an established tag team in a tag match against two seperate singles guys. If the actual tag team wins they get a Co-Op shot and if the other team wins each gets a shot at one of the singles titles, the person who got the fall getting a VGCW title shot and his partner a Casual shot. However that seems way too much like something that plot would set up to be something that just happens, so whatever. I'm just rattling ideas off. |

That's the point of the MitB though? Like sure, it was a great title match that would've been ruined by Sonic but really any MitB holder would take the opportunity. Not having him cash it in just seems fake, unless he cashed it in for a scheduled match the next night or something. 4th man could be a newcomer, or used to debut a new tag team, eg: Grey Fox wins the match and we don't know his partner until the title match, and then it's Snake or Liquid or Jensen or something. Mystery man can build hype |

Only if you're a cynic who believes that the MitB should always/only be used when the Champion is weak, to make winning the title 'easy'. Also known as: Being a heel. Cashing in like that (on a face champion) is inherently a heelish action, no matter how much people want to say 'Sonic did literally nothing wrong' over and over. If a face wants to avoid getting booed, then yeah, it's probably not a good idea! Edited by NottyRose, Jun 19 2014, 01:58 AM.

I agree with all this talk about Goemon getting a shot at the next MitB, but on the other hand, Ebisumaru is just as capable as him if not more so, and holy crap can you imagine the belt on a man known for his twerks? It's almost too glorious to envision. Almost. |

Ebi is solely a tag team wrestler so far, he should probably have a couple singles matches before a MitB match |

or
trading in their title for a midcard title shot on their respective main roster shows. Sort of like Option C, but another rung lower on the ladder in terms of trade-ups.

As for MiTB, Ezio and Illidan would be my pick. Who knows how Ezio's career will turn out in few months? It could be better. Also, put Dan in it.
Barret, Tingle, Vegeta and Jensen would be my pick.
