Editorial Reviews

For years, the Money in the Bank match was a highlight of WrestleMania, with each of the six winners going on to successfully cash in their opportunities and win World Championships. Last year, the popular match headlined its own WWE pay-per-view event, and two spectacular matches led to two more successful title reigns, including the Miz seizing on his momentum at last year's event to become the most must-see WWE Champion in history. So the stakes are incredibly high for the Superstars of Raw and SmackDown look to climb the ladder of success at Money in the Bank 2011.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Champ Is H....Has Left The Building! July 20, 2011

By D.P. VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

SmackDown Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Sin Cara vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Heath Slater vs. Wade Barrett vs. Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes - As expected in a multi-man ladder match, this was full of crazy moments & spots such as Daniel Bryan dropkicking Gabriel off the ladder, back to back to back to back top rope dives onto the outside, Sin Cara's unique version of a top rope superplex, Sheamus' powerbomb on Sin Cara through a ladder, the reunion of the Corre, Sheamus & Kane paying tribute to the Road Warriors, Slater being dead weight on top of a ladder before being swung off, Sheamus being chokeslammed on a wedged ladder...that didn't give, how Gabriel pulled off a 450 splash, Barrett delivering a Wasteland onto the floor, and Daniel Bryan showing he could put you in a submission from anywhere. This was the quality you would expect from a this type of ladder match.

Divas Champion Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella - Brie came out with her twin sister Nikki while Kelly had Eve in her corner as this was just the typical divas match that was nothing special but I'll give credit to Kelly Kelly for improving better than she was around this time a year ago.

Big Show vs. Mark Henry - Michael Cole called this "The Battle Of The Behemoths" as The World's Largest Athlete went against The World's Strongest Man. Show started out using his own power early with a shoulder tackle that knocked Mark Henry out of the ring followed by throwing him into the steps. Henry would recover by dropkicking the steps into Show's previously injured knee then continued to focus on it by clipping it from behind & even applying a half Boston Crab submission.... Show was able to somewhat recover & go for a top rope shoulderblock but hurt his own knee on the way down leaving him open for Henry to deliver various splashes & World's Strongest Slams with him ensuring after the match that Show wouldn't be walking out of the ring. This was a good "big man" match as it didn't go long & told a good story working around Show's bad leg.

RAW Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Alex Riley vs. Evan Bourne vs. The Miz vs. Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. R-Truth - You knew exactly where this match was going when all of the competitors decided to grab a ladder & bring it into the ring with them during their entrance. Various highlights including everyone targeting Del Rio right from the start with their ladders to the point where he was buried underneath them & Mysterio being throwing on top of pile shortly afterwords, Kofi & Bourne fighting on top of a ladder that wasn't open before having a unique tug of war with it resulting in Rey using it as a springboard for a frakensteiner, R-Truth on the receiving end of a atomic drop that hurt every man watching, the highest "Air Bourne" you'll ever see, the dangerous way Miz fell off the ladder that I'm surprised didn't snap his knee in half, Mysterio & Bourne literally climbing over others to get to the case, Swagger taking a page out of Bryan's playbook earlier in the night by applying a submission from anywhere, the unique 619 Mysterio delivered using a ladder, everyone fighting for the case at once, and Swagger taking a nasty fall off the ladder. Although this match was different than the one earlier, it was still quality.

World Champion Randy Orton vs. Christian - Christian had special stipulations invoked here stating that if the referee makes a bad call or Orton gets disqualified then he would lose the World Championship. Knowing these stipulations, Christian tried Orton various times days earlier on SmackDown & continued it right away by grabbing a chair & daring him to use it before taking control early. Orton attempted to work a different strategy than normal by trying to leave his feet with it being countered one time opening the door for Christian to take advantage with a top rope headbutt. Both men knew each other so well that they were able to keep countering & avoiding each others signature moves like the RKO & Killswitch along with Orton leapfrogging over Christian when attempting the spear before delivering what was a delayed gutwrench neckbreaker. However the stipulations for this match worked right into Christian's favor as he did a tactic that even "heel" Michael Cole thought was distasteful in order for Orton to finally snap & cost him the championship...but that didn't stop Orton as after the match as he gave 2 RKO's to the spanish announce table that didn't give at all. This was a step below their great encounters on SmackDown & Over The Limit but was definitely better than their match the month before at Capitol Punishment as they worked the storyline of Orton trying to control his anger well here which hasn't always been the case in these type of matches with this stipulation (see WrestleMania 25).

WWE Champion John Cena vs. C.M. Punk - As everyone already knows, the big story here is that Punk made it clear that his contract expires that night & he planned on walking out of the company with the WWE Championship with Vince McMahon making it clear that he didn't want that to happen (think Survivor Series '97) & that John Cena would be fired if that took place. This is the first time I can remember John Cena being in such a hostile territory with the audience since ECW One Night Stand around 5 years earlier as the crowd was completely pro-C.M. Punk to the point where they were cheering for him before he ever came out while Cena didn't do his usual "play to the crowd/salute" entrance as he was all business by walking straight to the ring & holding up the championship while it should be noted that ex-NWA Champion & Punk's good friend Colt Cabana (who was in WWE for a short time as Scotty Goldman & the man Punk's been mentioning on TV in the past few weeks) was in the front row. Cena was greeted with "You Can't Wrestle" chants from the start & responded to it by actually doing wrestling such as reversing Punk's attempted at the Anaconda Vice into an armbar while coming to a stalemate with Punk at both escape attempts at an Attitude Adjustment & G.T.S. The chants from the crowd started to split & duel against each other which caused Booker T to reference "Rocky 4" of all things with when even Colt at ringside getting some small chants. Punk focused on Cena's neck reversing the A.A. into a DDT while later delivering a top rope kneedrop onto Cena's neck on the apron. There was a point where Punk attempted a crossbody block but mistimed it as Cena ended up hurting his knee while Punk's midsection as effected which Cena tried to capitalize on with an abdominal stretch. Both men went on to find unique counters to each others signature moves including a great series of counters that saw a flying crossbody, A.A., G.T.S., STF, and modified Anaconda Vice. The big factor happened when Vince appeared & attempt to do what we've seen in the past to keep his title in his company only for that to be what ended up causing him & the WWE to have the result that he didn't want. While this was definitely one of Punk's best matches in WWE, the shock here was the fact that he pulled something out of John Cena that I honestly can't remember seeing out of him in a very long time...if EVER as the match went close to half an hour & Cena didn't "phone it in" like he's done for the last few PPV's. Definitely a highlight in WWE's history along with the careers of BOTH men involved here.

Bottom line is that this was one of the best PPV's of the year as there wasn't a bad unwatchable match on here (the divas was decent & watchable) so I would definitely recommend going out of the way to watch this. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Great matches, great atmosphere, what more could you ask for? July 19, 2011

By E. Belt

Format:DVD

This was one of the best WWE Pay Per Views in the history of WWF/WWE pay per views. The matches were fantastic. The outcomes were unpredictable. The main event had 30+ minutes of WRESTLING! It was very entertaining. The WWE universe hasn't been this hostile for a pay per view event since the One Night Stand ppv main event of RVD vs John Cena. The crowd reaction was the best since then. I haven't witnessed anything like it live since the Rock vs Hollywood Hogan at Wrestlemania X-8. It feels as though this PPV could be the building blocks for a new era of wrestling being ushered in. We, as fans, will look back at this ppv, being the event that will have taken the WWE to new heights in 2020, as they have a new casual fan base, caring about their television shows again. It's amazing how an arena of 14,000+ of CM Punk fans, can put an arena of 55,000+ of St. Pierre fans, at an UFC ppv, to shame, but they did it. GET THIS DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars The crowd made this one better August 17, 2011

By The Movie Man

Format:DVD

Can't really say much more about the show than some of the reviewers have already said but I will say that the crowd during the main event was one of the craziest that I remember and I've been following wrestling since about 1997... I would compare the crowd reaction to the unforgiven 2006 pay per view when Edge returned to Canada to take on cena for the title...you felt like their was no way C.M Punk was going to lose....and I do like how they gave CM Punk an extended entrance, it really gave him a chance to get the crowd going.

Money in the Bank held lots of drama thanks to one man C.M. Punk.
He delivers a match of the Year candidate.
The two MITB Matches are awesome.
Best WWE offering of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money in The Bank 2011 August 24, 2011

By A. Pierre

Format:DVD

Smackdown Money in the Bank Ladder match featuring Sin Botcha...Cara, sorry, Wade Barrett, Sheamus, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, and Kane: Ever since the branding of Raw and Smackdown, the blue brand has always put on the best "wrestling" show. This match featured many future main eventers. Sadly, these guys work there tails off and get drafted to Raw and either survive or never heard from again and eventually released, Chris Masters recently and Chuck Palumbo are two prime examples. This match was good but suffers from what other MIB ladder matches suffer from. You see opponents on and off thru out the match and it's hard to focus on most of the action. Daniel Bryan wins in a shocker. Great opener.

Kelly Kelly VS Brie Belle: Skip

Mark Henry VS Big Show: I was surprised how well this match went. Big Show pulled off a few cool moves. Henry wins with world's strongest slam and two splashes. Henry breaks Show's ankle afterwards.

Raw Money in The Bank featuring Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Alex Riley, R-Truth, Jack Swagger: Everyone grabs a ladder as the enter, bell rings, and they attack Del Rio with it. They then throw the ladders onto Del Rio on the outside. Probably the best five opening minutes to a MIB match but they kept on using a little ladder to reach the briefcase. Miz appears to hurt his knee after falling off the ladder. This match had alot of good spots, a must see.

World Champion Randy Orton VS Christian: If Orton gets disqualified, Christian will win the title. These two have always had good matches and this was a good way for Christian win the world title considering his persona. I'm just glad Christian's championship regin lasted longer then two days....

CM Punk VS John Cena: This was the first match I was looking foward too in the longest time. I didnt know what was going happen and it made for a great match. The Chicago crowd was lively and made for a fun experince. This was one helluva good match. Vince McMahon comes down with his new stooge, John Laurintis (who cares how you spell it) and tries to recreate the Montreal incident but Cena puts a stop to it. Punk wins cleanly with the GTS. Vince goes crazy, trying to have Del Rio come out, and cash it in but he fails. Punk slips thru the crowd with the belt after blowing Vince a kiss. I friggin love Punk, always have.

Overall, one of the best WWE PPV's in years that lived up to it's own hype. The two MIB matches were excellent, Henry-Show was actually good, Orton-Christian just progessed the feud, and Punk-Cena lived up to expectations. WWE is starting to look good after years of being boring and predictable. A must own PPV. Read more ›
