Wwe: Money In The Bank 2010 [DVD]
S**7
The weakest Money in the Bank event, but still enjoyable.
This DVD contains the full 2010 Money in the Bank event on a single disc. The bonus features are just two short interviews, one with Kane and one with the Nexus.Big Show vs. Kane vs. Christian vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Matt Hardy vs. Dolph Ziggler - The opening match was the first of two Money in the Bank Ladder matches. This one was for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. It was a good match with a few memorable moments. There were the usual dangerous looking bumps and some innovative spots. Big Show brought out an enforced ladder, that was almost too heavy for him to get in the ring, and the second half of the match took place around that. There was some good psychology in there as the smaller men in the match teamed up on a few occasions to take out the much larger Big Show and Kane. It did feel a bit long for a Money in the Bank match, I'd say it was maybe five minutes longer than it needed to be. It was still an entertaining opener though and a good start to the show.Eve Torres vs. Alicia Fox - This was for Fox's WWE 'Divas' Championship. It takes place during possibly the worst time for women's wrestling, at least in recent memory. That showed here unfortunately. To their credit there was some ring psychology as Fox constantly went after Torres' lower back. The action just wasn't that interesting and neither woman was very good in the ring. Thankfully it was short. I did like the psychology of targeting the back and the finish was decisive but the match just wasn't that good. It was still probably Fox's best match though.The Hart Dynasty vs. The Usos - This was for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships. It was a good back and forth match. The action was entertaining and both teams worked well together. It built to a strong and decisive finish. It wasn't the amazing match that I know these two teams are capable of though. It was a bit short for that and was missing something to take it to the next level. It was enjoyable to watch but it wasn't anything particularly memorable.Rey Mysterio vs. Jack Swagger - This was for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rey Mysterio was defending the title here and was going in with an ankle injury. It was a very good, back and forth match. It had good psychology as Swagger spends the match going after Rey's injured ankle. Mysterio came back when he could and tried to protect his ankle and end the match as quick as possible. It had some good drama around the ankle and some good near-falls. I enjoyed the finish which paid tribute to one of Eddie Guerrero's most famous wins. It was the best none-ladder match on the show. After the match the Money in the Bank winner made an appearance.Layla vs. Kelly Kelly - This was for the WWE Women's Championship. It was unfortunately worse than the 'Divas' Championship match from earlier in the night. Layla had a good character but wasn't exactly known for her great matches and Kelly Kelly is just awful. Some of the action was ok, some of it was bad, none of it was interesting. It had a decisive finish and the right woman won but there was nothing else good about this.Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Mark Henry vs. The Miz vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Evan Bourne vs. John Morrison - This is the second of two Money in the Bank Ladder matches and this time it was for a WWE Championship shot. I think this was better than the other Ladder match but they were pretty close. The first had more psychology and story to it whereas this one had more creative spots. There were various, scaffold-like structures made of ladders that they ended up making on a couple of occasions and while they did feel a bit convoluted they didn't hurt the match. The action was constantly entertaining and it was about the right length. Probably the best thing on the show.John Cena vs. Sheamus - This was a Steel Cage match for the WWE Championship, it was also the main event. It wasn't a bad match but it didn't feel like main event quality action either. It was a match that built up slowly, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The action wasn't especially exciting. There was nothing wrong with it but it wasn't that memorable either. Sheamus spends a lot of the match slowly trying to wear down Cena with rest holds. There are some entertaining moments in there and I could easily watch it again but it wasn't anything special either. I feel like if this match took place in the late 80s or early 90s it would be considered a great match. These days though, it just doesn't live up to the main event quality that we expect. It's finish wasn't great as it involved the Nexus running down and getting involved. Cage matches are designed to keep a match down to just the wrestlers in the ring so it's always a shame when they end up with outside involvement anyway. Also I wasn't a fan of the Nexus angle so that didn't help my enjoyment of the finish. Overall I think I liked the match but it could have been much better.This was a decent show overall. There are some good matches and moments, but also some that aren't so good. The main event wasn't particularly good and a few under-card matches were either bad or forgettable. The two Money in the Bank Ladder matches delivered entertaining action and the Jack Swagger/Rey Mysterio fight was very good. If you're looking to buy this event you'll get some enjoyable wrestling but it is probably the weakest of all the Money in the Bank pay-per-views.

Brilliant, brilliant event! The best of 2010!
From WrestleMania to (now) its own pay-per-view, Money in the Bank is one of the most downright enjoyable pay-per-views WWE has put on in ages. So many great storylines continue and escalate throughout, and there are several great bouts with fantastic outcomes.Both MITB ladder matches are classic in their own right, with superb innovation, thrilling offense and exceptional performances from all involved. The outcomes make perfect sense, and there's a huge surprise later on that truly makes the show unforgettable.Also, a thrilling World Title collision between Rey Mysterio and Jack Swagger gives the undercard its depth, and there's a quality tag title match with the Hart Dynasty and the Usos to enjoy. You can take or leave the Divas matches, and the main event between Cena and Sheamus is something of a letdown, but on the whole, Money in the Bank is an outstanding show, and one that you really can't afford to miss.
