True, but just because it isn't easy, doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do.
I mean personally, would you rather be champion, or be the guy who lost because you did it the right way?

Out of 32. Shows you that those 3 just don’t get the point of having this powerful tool.

If you just want a match you can win the Royal Rumble or any number of standard number 1 contenders matches over the year.
Down side to cashing in the traditional way is you'll always have people call your reign a fluke.

There’s no such thing as doing things the right way with the money in the bank briefcase. That is part of the rules and pretty much the entire point of fighting for it. The only way to really do the right thing would be to never even attempt to win the briefcase, because you wouldn’t want to win that way.

Outside of you I haven’t heard this complaint in a long time. This isn’t 2006 anymore. There’s a money in the bank cash-in every year. This is pretty much standard operating procedure at this point. As long as the person who cashes in can retain their belt at least once you couldn’t argue it was a fluke, regardless.

Again, 3 guys announced their cash in ahead of time, the rule is that you can cash in on your own terms.

Maybe if you lose right away, like Miz did his second time :lol Or sadly like Dolph. But most have at least a decent reign. So if someone calls those flukes then that’s on them.

I mean hell we gonna call the Cena reign a fluke when he fought Rey that night Rey won and was all banged up earlier in the night?

And again, out of 32. Which again shows those three are the idiots who didn’t realize the power of the tool that they were winning. The entire point of the briefcase is so you can cash in at any point if you’re just gonna use it to say you want a match in a week, just win a contenders match.

My point wasn’t that they couldn’t do it the way you’re describing the only problem is is there’s no such thing as the right way. You can’t consider cheating when the concept itself tells you you can use it that way. And only idiots wouldn’t.

I don't even get what the point is in anymore. Now we're complaining about how he cashed in his briefcase and we shouldn't cut him any slack for wanting to prove he's a legit champion but people keep getting involved?

Yeah, that's probably one of the most controversial title wins. Lol

Well Rey won a tournament, and already had a match that night, he wasn’t at 100%. Kayfabe wise an argument can be made mahbe he beats Cena at 100. :toomanykobes Can’t call a man who won a tournament a fluke reign
