Well, let me tell you something about this whole “Money in the Bank” thing. You see, folks, it’s one of them big ol’ WWE events where they hang up a suitcase, and a bunch of wrestlers fight like crazy to grab it. Now, you might be wonderin’, what’s in that suitcase? Well, it’s not filled with gold or anything, but it sure is worth a lot—because inside is a contract. And that contract? It gives the winner a shot at any title they want. It’s like hittin’ the jackpot, but instead of a coin, you get to fight for a championship belt. It’s a big deal, trust me!
Now, this year’s “Money in the Bank” event in 2023? Boy, it sure got people talkin’, especially ol’ Dave Meltzer. He’s that guy who watches these wrestling matches, and then he talks about ‘em like he’s been to every single one, giving his little ratings and whatnot. Folks say his ratings mean a lot to some people, even if he don’t always give ‘em the scores they expect.

So, this year, it was on July 1st, and let me tell you, it sure was a show to remember. The big ol’ ladder match for the men and the women took place, and the winners? Oh, they sure did make some noise. On the men’s side, we had a bunch of tough fellas fightin’ it out. Names like LA Knight, Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, and Chad Gable all throwin’ each other off ladders, just tryin’ to grab that contract. Now, Jey Uso, he got his hands on that contract, and folks couldn’t believe it. He fought hard, and after a lot of messin’ around, he grabbed it!
The women’s match wasn’t no different. You got yourself Iyo Sky, who fought hard and ended up comin’ out on top. People were sayin’ she did real good, but we all know that these women in WWE are some tough cookies. It’s not just the men doin’ the heavy lifting, you know!
But, folks, the talk of the town was Dave Meltzer and his star ratings. See, Dave Meltzer is one of them fellas who watches all these matches and gives ’em stars like it’s somethin’ you can buy at the store. He’s got his opinions, and you know, people sure do care about ’em, even though sometimes they ain’t too happy with what he says.
On July 1st, after the big show, Dave Meltzer gave his thoughts, and he didn’t hold back. He told everyone exactly what he thought about each match. And let me tell ya, there were some opinions on both the men’s and women’s ladder matches. Some folks said he was too harsh on certain matches, but that’s just Dave for ya. He don’t sugarcoat nothing.
Now, back to that ladder match, the one that had everyone at the edge of their seats. You see, it’s not just about climbin’ a ladder and grabbin’ that briefcase. No sir. You’ve gotta be smart, you’ve gotta be tough, and you’ve gotta be ready to take a hit or two. Or three. Or a dozen! And that’s exactly what these wrestlers did. They went at it like they was in a full-out brawl, ladders flyin’, bodies crashin’. You’ve got all the flips, the jumps, and the sheer power that these folks put into it. It’s not like they’re just messin’ around in the backyard. No sir, it’s a real competition, and folks take it serious!

But, I tell ya, when Meltzer’s involved, it’s like the whole world’s watchin’. He’s got his own ratings for every match, and while some folks agree with him, others, well, they’re not so happy. It’s just the way things go when you’re a big name like him. If you agree with his stars, you’re happy as a clam. If not, well, you might get yourself a little upset. But that’s the thing about WWE and these matches—everyone’s got their own opinion, and they sure ain’t shy about sharing it.
Now, folks were also talkin’ about some of the other matches that went on during that big event. You had Roman Reigns, the big fella himself, gettin’ pinned for the first time in what felt like forever. People thought he’d never lose again, but Jey Uso, oh boy, he made it happen. That was a moment nobody saw comin’. And to think, it all happened on the same night as the ladder match. Talk about a busy show!
So, when it comes to all these “Money in the Bank” events, there’s a lot to look at. You got your big stars, your surprises, and, of course, those star ratings from people like Dave Meltzer. Whether you like ’em or not, they sure do get folks talkin’ about the matches. And that’s what this whole wrestling thing is about, ain’t it? Gettin’ people to talk, to cheer, to boo, to fight about who did what and who deserved more stars. It’s all part of the fun, even if we don’t always agree with the ratings.
But if you ask me, it’s all about the thrill of watchin’ them folks climb up them ladders, riskin’ it all, and fightin’ for that big ol’ contract. That’s the real prize, and it’s what makes “Money in the Bank” one of the biggest nights in WWE. And don’t forget about next year, folks. You just wait and see what they’ll do next time! It’ll be just as wild, just as crazy, and just as fun!
