Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the extremely subjective Money in the Bank Report. Check out Marc Middleton's work if you want something objective. That's not what you'll get right here. I have'll provide you the recap of the matches and I' ll let you know of the match quality.

Match 1: Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Cody Rhodes vs. Without expensive vs. Wade Barrett vs. Sheamus vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Heath Slater vs. Kane vs. Daniel Bryan (CMV1 rating-* 3/4) (CMV1 note - Daniel Bryan wins the MITB ladder match and makes a ton of smart marks happy in 24: 29.) The match itself was very good, but a notch below the four-star level. There were a lot of very creative spots, but I didn't think they all got pulled off all that smoothly. Face took a nasty bump through a ladder and was carted off, but I got some nicely executed before the injury angle in spots. Wade did a nice job, as did Cody Rhodes. The crowd was not as into it as I thought they would be, and they broke out into a couple of medium sized "CM Punk" chants. Bryan winning was certainly a surprise and a good sign that the WWE is behind him)

Match 2: Diva's Champion Kelly Kelly vs. Brie Bella (CMV1 rating - ¾ *) (CMV1 note - Just your typical Divas match.) Not really much to say about it)

Match 3: Mark Henry vs. Big Show (CMV1 rating-* 1/2) (CMV1 note - Pretty much glorified squash match.) It was even right at the beginning, but then Henry Show's injured knee and dominated him from that point forward. Henry was really put over strong here and it looks as if the big man is heading for his latest attempt at being a main event player. Naturally, this does not excite many people. He's done a good job of character development since being drafted to Smackdown, but it's still Mark Henry and his involvement in main-events have often led to injuries to top performers in the past. The WWE is banking on people having a short memory, in hopes that we'll all forget Henry's years and years of being more or less to jobber to the top guys. Look out Randy Orton…someone is gonna try to kick your ass)

Vince McMahon says that Punk has not resigned. I have says that Punk told him to "get out" when I tried to talk to him about resigning.

Match 4: Money in the Bank Ladder Match - The Miz vs. Alberto del Rio vs. Alex Riley vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne vs. R-Truth (CMV1 rating-*) (CMV1 note - Alberto del Rio wins it at 15: 54) A lot more exciting than the SD version and, for the most part, a better executed match that saw the degree of difficulty increase and the quality raise accordingly. The high flyers shined bright, as Kofi, King, and Bourne supplied sufficient thrills. There were a few nice false finishes, too, as Miz got injured and returned to win it before Mysterio nearly nearly had it won, as well, before the River ripped his mask off. Mysterio's fall from the ladder after being masked caused the planned finish to be botched, but in the Rio recovered nicely and did what needed to be done)

1.75-2.25 stars = below average PPV that wasn't worth the money spent watching. (Survivor Series 2010)

2.5-2.75 stars = An average to above average event that was worth watching on that given night. (Royal Rumble 2011, Wrestlemania XXVII)

3.0-3.25 = Really good show that you'd buy on DVD and watch again (Elimination Chamber 2011, Unforgiven 2006)

3.5 = This is how PPV should be done (Summerslam 2002)
