10 Best Performers In WWE Money In The Bank History
Take a leap of faith with the guys who took a leap of faith.
What is it that makes a WWE Superstar remembered as one of the greats?
For some, it may be the relative degree of success they achieved-main event matches and championship hauls tend to stick in the memory, after all. For others, it’s a matter of entertaining-producing those magic moments of both madness and genius that are equally enduring to us fans.
Conveniently, the Money in the Bank ladder match provides an opportunity to tick both of those boxes.
The tangible reward at the end of the line is enough to transform anyone into a bonafide main event star, while the inclusion of ladders opens up a whole world of possibilities in terms of death-defying moments and moves.
But which of the competitors to have graced Money in the Bank have made the best use of this opportunity? Of the 48 superstars who have thus far featured in the match’s history, who have been the greatest performers?
This article looks to answer that question, taking a look back at over a decade of Money in the Bank ladder matches to identify ten names that have become most-closely associated with this type of match and established their legacy as a result.
10. John Morrison
Given his reputation as a practitioner of parkour, it’s hardly a surprise that I'm kicking off this list with a mention of John Morrison.
And even though he only featured in two Money in the Bank ladder matches, he certainly made the most of those chances to shine by utilising the ladder in some highly innovative ways.
The most notable example came at WrestleMania XXIV, where he made the absolutely audacious decision to hit a moonsault to the outside from the very top rope—all the while holding the ladder in his grip. It was a truly incredible spot that almost beggars belief, with JoMo using the ladder as a battering ram as he flipped through the air onto the unlucky huddle of Superstars below.
He produced other moments of impressive nimbleness, such as his vain attempt to scale a folded ladder, but for that insane ladder-wielding moonsault alone John Morrison is well worth a place on this list.
