I like how Cole was cut off by whoever that announcer is. Is that the Smackdown announcer?

Opening with MITB

Cole, Ross and Lawler on commentary, guess for the whole show, that's cool

Poor MVP, no pyro for or anything for him. Big difference from his cheerleader entrance vs Benoit a few years back.

That was insane. Seriously, Shelton needs to win one of these someday, might as well be now.

I hope Shelton gets rewarded for trying to kill himself every year at this thing.

The Hornswaggle spot was cute.

I laughed at the Hornswaggle vs. Kennedy stuff two years ago in the MITB match, but yes, this was one of the better Hornswaggle moments.

Kofi is going to be another MITB annual participant.

Nice stuff with MVP and Shelton with the 2nd ladder through the ropes.

Nice typo from Meltzer.

The one benefit is that clearly the big matches are going long tonight, as you've got eight matches, including the Divas match that has to be kept short, and nearly four years for them.

Nice recovery by Shelton there...pretty bad blown spot, but that has to be expected.

Also, the tag title match was switched to a dark match.

The pre-show match saw Carlito & Primo unify the tag team titles beat Miz & John Morrison. Hot crowd, but big reactions for the near falls and the finish. Morrison went for a suplex, but Primo got behind him and used the back stabber for the pin.

The Christian ladder balance spot was tremendous.

That match had some fun spots but I really expected it to be a bit longer.

I guess this is the year the MitB winner comes up short when cashing it in.

I did not expect that outcome.

EDIT: The official meat snack of the WWE? LOL.

Definitely didn't see a Punk win coming. Personally, he was my third choice to win, after Shelton and Christian, but I'm happy with him.

I'd probably rank that as either first or second best as far as MITB matches go. The only other one that I think rivals it is the first one.

Wasn't that about average 15 minutes? I know some were shorter than that (22 and 24), but it seemed at least 15 to me.
