Money in the Bank

I think George Hackenschmidt having the briefcase and coming out to challenge Frank Gotch after a grueling 90 minute title defense would be tremendous. He could dispatch Gotch in a quickie 30 minute battle by using his devastating finish, the armdrag takedown.

Anyway, other choices:

– Jake Roberts in the 80s would have been awesome. Hulk Hogan survives a beating from King Kong Bundy in MSG and does a stretcher job, Jake comes out, wham DDT, new champion. Tailor made for the gimmick.

– DDP similarly could pull off the "out of nowhere" finish with the Diamond Cutter, especially during his war with the NWO.

– Sting with the briefcase in the rafters in 1997, threatening to rappel down and kick Hogan's ass at any time? Awesome.

– Also, Vince Russo would have done interesting things with the gimmick during the Attitude era, I think.
