The one where Cody was beating everyone's ass but Sandow stole the victory? I mean I was watching wrestling on and off andmissed so much from 2010-2013, and when I found that match on some DVD, I was amazed. I rarely even feel anything for ladder matches today (though Kallisto's spot recently was great).

Shelton and RVD always made things entertaining, Hardyz fell off by time MITB was established, and Punk would be pretty over, but the story told in the 2013 match to me makes it the best imo.

And this is Sandow's explanation of the match, which makes it even more clear:



On the 2013 Money In The Bank match, which he won, being the best match he feels he was ever in:

"Everyone in that match, we were all heels. Yes, if you go back and watch that match, I mean, Cody [Rhodes] and I were partners at the time. We came down [to the ring] together, which, again, considering the finish of the match, I mean, ah! And everyone was getting booed." Stevens added, "I mean, Wade [Barrett] was in that match, [Dean] Ambrose, Cesaro, but everyone had a part and then nobody saw the finish coming. I mean, I was hiding out in the announcers' pit, but the goal was to make the people want to see Cody win. And just like Cody getting beat down and coming back and he's just continually fighting. I mean, he had inadvertently gotten busted open a little bit and there was just enough where, like, the crowd was so behind him. The Usos did a run in. The Shield did a run in. It was awesome. And then, when Cody was finally climbing to get that Money In The Bank [briefcase] and he had been in the Money In The Bank [match] before and almost won, they were so with it. And I just come from behind, push him, and grab the briefcase. I mean, it was just so well done."

Best MITB were first 2 the Sandow payoff was trash and honestly Cody should've went over they both took L's long term match was cool but they pissed it away by burying them both.

Couple of big Cody face spots..when Blandy was against his father in Legacy and the crowd went crazy with the Cody chants but they turned Blandy instead:laugh: And yeah..this situation when Sandow was still a true heel and not stealing the show with his comedy.

Only time Sandow ever won anything was as a swerve to the crowd when they were all behind Cody. Then they botch the cash-in and later when the fans are all behind Sandow, they throw him to the bushes and push Miz instead. :dead:

The Sandow and Cody team and feud were over, two talented wrestlers, creative has nothing for them and now both gone. Just another example that shows Vince isn't just out of touch, but also loves screwing over the fans for his own amusement.

So when are Rhodes Scholars going to reunite and face the Rock n Roll Express in front of 64 people somewhere in Alabama?
