Every WCW Ladder Match Ranked - From Worst To Best
10. Bam Bam Bigelow Vs. Scott Hall - Monday Nitro
The first ladder match in WCW Monday Nitro history took place in January of 1999, and it was fairly indicative of the company at the time. Bam Bam Bigelow took on Scott Hall that night, but instead of climbing the ladder to retrieve a championship or a contract, the two were clambering the rungs in the hope of gaining a taser. Depressingly, this was the second 'taser ladder' match in company history, meaning at this point 50% of WCW's ladder matches had been for tasers.
The match itself is fine. Scott Hall isn't in the best of shape, but Bam Bam Bigelow was such an elite level worker that he could have had a truly great match with the ladder. Bam Bam works his butt off throughout, but by this point the crowd is so numb to WCW that they simply don't care.
The reason this match finishes so low in the list is the finish itself. Bam Bam retrieves the taser, but before he can use it on Hall Disco Inferno runs down to ringside and hands Scott a taser of his own, rendering the whole thing pointless. To further ram this home, Goldberg comes down to the ring (after spearing Disco in the aisle), spears both men and tasers them both.
The official result? No contest. How do you have a no contest in a ladder match?
