I don't think this MITB was short. It was definitely longer than last year's and overall better too. They had some...unique...spots. I give them credit for keep inventing new things to do in MITB because eventually there is only a certain number of spots one can do with a ladder making it look original and make it look cool. Some spots in ladder matches just look awkward and don't come across well, they have done a great job in MITB keeping it fresh. Although Kofi's stilts was pretty lame.
This years match was just about a minute shorter then last years.
I completely agree on MITB being inventive and fresh each year though, I look forward to just seeing what creative shit they can come up with every Mania.
I know it's already been discussed, but, my god, Matt is a fucking trooper.
