Jim Ross commented on the epic Money in the Bank 2011 PPV on a brand new blog on his site today.
Among the highlights:
on CM Punk/John Cena Match:
CM Punk and John Cena had a scintillating main event that featured over 30 minutes of classic, old school wrestling. It took me back a generation, or so it seemed, and that match alone was worth the price of the PPV. My black hat is off to both men.
on where the storyline goes next
Punk is the WWE champion but what does his future hold as Punk’s contract has now expired with WWE? What will Cena’s fate be now that the Chairman has been globally embarrassed? What will the fall out be on Monday Night Raw? There’s so many more questions than answers as the build to Summer Slam begins in Green Bay Monday night.
on Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio winning Money in the Bank ladder matches:
Daniel Bryan winning the Smackdown MITB match was a shocker. I would have lost the farm on that one had I been a gambling man. However, I loved the outcome of this match. Bryan is a talented young man who has a spectacular skill set, is a high character person, and brings more steak than sizzle. I needed a reason to reinvest in Bryan and now I have it.
Albert Del Rio’s victory in the Raw MITB Ladder Match was less of a surprise but made sense in that Del Rio’s been on a ‘roll’ and seems to be championship bound sooner than later. BTW Del Rio must have one helluva garage for all those high dollar vehicles that he drives but one has to assume that all his cars are ‘low mileage.’
