Making Money
In a typically Vince McMahon change of heart, the chairman decided he didn’t like the idea after all, and would much prefer a triple threat submission match between Jericho, Edge and Benoit.
In his autobiography, Jericho wrote:
“I hated the idea as I thought the concept and the match would be hard to sell and that the Money in the Bank match was much more exciting and better for all involved.”
Jericho explained that all of the other competitors agreed, and so a meeting was organized between the six superstars and Vince and Stephanie McMahon.
“To their credit they heard us out and agreed. Everyone was glad they did, because the match was a staggering spectacle that came close to stealing the show.”
Edge went on to win the match, holding onto the briefcase until New Year’s Revolution 2006, where he cashed in on a weakened John Cena to become the first superstar to cash in the briefcase.
And there you have it. Another thing we have to be thankful to Chris Jericho for. The Money in the Bank match will continue to be an opportunity for stars to show they have what it takes to become champion…unless you’re Baron Corbin or Damien Sandow.
