Money in the Bank (2011)

 * Nominator(s):  starship.paint  (talk &#124; contribs) 09:49, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

This article is about a professional wrestling (scripted, I know) pay-per-view event, held by WWE in Chicago in 2011. Apart from the two eponymous ladder matches, the 2011 Money in the Bank event will probably be best known for the highly acclaimed (awarded 5 stars from some critics) main-event match where CM Punk defeated John Cena to capture the WWE Championship. It was promoted that Punk's WWE contract was expiring at the event and he managed to leave with the WWE Championship despite the efforts to thwart him by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The event and main event won Event of the Year and Match of the Year from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and the Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine. This article just passed a stringent GA review from a WikiProject Professional wrestling editor aware of my intentions of submitting this article for FA, so I'm throwing this at FAC.  starship.paint  (talk &#124; contribs) 09:49, 24 January 2014 (UTC)


 * It is mentioned twice, including in the Lead Section, that some guy at CANOE gave the show 6.5/10 and I can't find any reference for that review. What's the deal? Feed  back  ☎ 14:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The reference is no.21 (Hillhouse, Dave. "Money in the Bank: The WWE gets Punk’d".) Apologies, I have missed adding |publisher=Canadian Online Explorer to the reference. I have corrected that.  starship.paint  (talk &#124; contribs) 11:20, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Anyone else? =P I have obtained more "live" pictures. starship.paint (talk &#124; contribs) 13:07, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Usually how wrestling FAs are. Not many reviewers and when you do get a review, most criticize the article and you can't get enough done in time before it is closed. This is why I reviewed it like an FA during GA. Helped to get the process moved along in case of a low amount of reviewers.-- Will C  03:09, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Image review
 * Lead caption shouldn't end in period
 * Why is one caption in present tense and the rest in past?
 * Suggest including sic in McNichol quote, but I'm unclear on why that quote is paired with that image? Nikkimaria (talk) 21:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing, Nikkimaria. First two points are settled. For the third point, well, the picture depicts the Raw Money in the Bank match. Since the picture is in the Reception section, I thought I might as well put a critic's evaluation of the match as the caption. starship.paint  (talk &#124; ctrb) 13:21, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Closing comment -- I'm afraid that despite remaining open for six weeks there is not nearly enough commentary, let alone support, to justify continuing with the nom, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
