10 Most Brutal Money In The Bank Ladder Match Spots
10. Christian Spears Cody Rhodes To Hell (Money In The Bank 2012)
2012’s World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank contract ladder match was a battle of two halves.
Initially, this was a convoluted mess where each competitor attempted to stand out in hurried spots. Yet, the second half of the contest was a highly enjoyable sprint, ending when Dolph Ziggler claimed the briefcase. Whilst not ranking in the top all-time MITB classics, it was the better of the two ladder matches that evening, and was an ultimately satisfying affair that, eventually, played to many of the participant's strengths.
In one of the most frightening moments from the latter stages, Christian displayed his ladder match pedigree, with a stunt harking back to the early TLC days that subtly paid tribute to best pal Edge.
Cody Rhodes seemed destined to capture the hanging prize, after climbing a ladder and dispatching of Tyson Kidd. Things took a quick turn however, when Captain Charisma launched himself off a neighboring ladder, spearing Rhodes as they both painfully plummeted to the canvas. The spot wasn’t on par with Edge’s stupendous mid-air spearing of Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania X-Seven, not even close, but this was nonetheless spectacular.
It provided the veteran Christian with another standout ladder match moment to add to his Hall of Fame worthy career.
