Hey, I was weighing a theoretical scenario in my mind, I'm curious what everyone thinks would happen.
A random wrestler in a MITB ladder match is set to have a spot where they slowly meander to the middle of the ring and slowly climb a ladder before somebody stops him.
This random wrestler, however, has a contract that's expiring in a few weeks and due to rarely being on TV (and jobbing when he is) doesn't see himself being re-signed. So, he sees the opportunity to stick it to the WWE: instead of doing everything slowly, he races in and up the ladder, and grabs the briefcase before anyone can react or comprehend what is happening. Suddenly you have a no-name soon-to-be-endeavoured shlub with a championship contract.
What would the WWE response be? I'd assume he'd be fired on the spot but what would happen in kayfabe? You can't announec that so and so was fired because they went off-script....
What kayfabe reason would they give for the person leaving with a MITB contract in hand?
Would they do a repeat ladder match on the next Raw/Smackdown or the next PPV?
Or would they just pretend there's no MITB contract, like, forget the match ever happened and we never see that person on tv again?
Does everyone need to sign contracts before PPVs ensuring they won't do such-and-such otherwise they'd be sued for breach of contract?
.....is there one person in a truck with his finger hovering over a button to raise the MITB briefcase, not unlike the briefcase in the McMahons vs. Austin ladder match at KOTR '99?

Cody definitely seems a safer bet than Christian. If there's one recurring theme it's that briefcases are tailor-made for heels to win and cash in on vulnerable, otherwise-nigh-undefeatable faces. Heck, even when Daniel Bryan won and cashed in he started heeling it up afterwards... so, Cody or Wade for sure.
I guess Cena is still the pick to win the other one but he'd be all noble and declare that he's cashing it in for the Summerslam main event. EDIT: forgot about Ziggler, he could still qualify and win it. |

Sky Runner bears a resemblance to the intro to “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who: Oh, come on... I guess I can see it, but still not seeing enough similarity to prompt a lawsuit... I guess they don't want to take any chance, and fair enough on that. Still, weak. -- I'll see you in Hell! (From Heaven!) |

I don't get why the songs need to be changed... if there were potential copyright issues (like if Chuck Berry's estate or whatever sued due to likeness), wouldn't they have arisen when Earthbound was first released?
I don't get why Sky Runner needs to be changed, is it supposed to sound like something? Maybe I'm just slow but I can't pick up on it... -- I'll see you in Hell! (From Heaven!) |

A few things:
(1) Rewatched it now, and I gotta say I liked the finish to the main event of Smackdown, I mean it made Ziggler looked pretty good (he could've gotten that pin... had it not been for that meddling Sheamus) (2) Where's Sin Cara? (3) I see people on youtube thinking Tyson Kidd's getting pushed, but really, I think they're just counting on him to be the MITB spot monkey this year. (4) Where's Wade Barret? (5) Is it just me or is Hunico a heat machine? Everytime he comes out on Superstars, all I hear is the voracious boos of the crowd and I don't know if it's my own biases amplifying things, but it sounds to me like he does his job & does it good. He's gotta get a MITB qualifying match on Tuesday... -- I'll see you in Hell! (From Heaven!) |

That's not really messing with the canon, so much as the original canon was told by an unreliable and crazy narrator (Cloud) But Tifa was there and saw everything, she wouldn't have brought it up at some point? ah, I guess you're right.... still pissed me off bigtime though. -- I'll see you in Hell!

All I know is that they're going to mess with the story to fit Compilation canon, so let's just forget the whole thing. They already did, so badly (Crisis Core spoilers) When Genesis's clones attacked the Nibelheim reactor, and Tifa witnessed all of it, a part of me died inside. Not to mention Genesis being there in the first place... |

Since when did they give Layla TIffany's old theme? I remember when Layla returned and I felt like "You're Not Enough For Me" was too heel-ish, considering it was the Laycool theme for so long, and that a new theme might suit her. But this... this is not what I had in mind. Also, the lyrics aren't sending a positive message to the kiddies! -- I'll see you in Hell! (From Heaven!) |

aren't you overpowered to the point of Blitzball being no fun at all by the end? my M.O. by that point is score a quick easy goal or two, get the ball, sit at my goalkeeper while the other team hovers around in circles and then go take a leak or surf the net or something until the half is done. If I played seriously I'd win 14-0 or something.
