MITB guaranteed buy?

By Scott Keith on August 9, 2013

Hey Scott,

Was curious for your take on something. Since 2010, I feel like MITB has been 4-for-4 on thumbs up shows. You've rated highly both the 2011 and 2013 versions, and while the 2010 and 2012 editions don't quite make it to those levels, they are both very good and satisfying events.

For me personally, MITB has reached that rare level of becoming a guaranteed PPV buy every year, along with the Rumble, WrestleMania and Extreme Rules (ever since it got moved to after Mania).

So I guess my question is a 3-parter:

What shows, if any, do you consider must-buy PPVs every year?
Do you think MITB has surpassed Summerslam as the show of the summer (although this year's is looking pretty good)?
Do you think you'll ever rant on MITB '10 and '12?

Thanks for your time and very valued opinion!

I of course buy Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania habitually every year, and usually Extreme Rules as well. And yes, I definitely think MITB has surpassed Summerslam as the most important show of the summer, especially considering that the briefcase has more importance than most of the titles even do. Plus it's usually an easy thumbs up show with two matches that make for good drama and fantasy booking potential.
