10 Most Brutal Money In The Bank Ladder Match Spots

WrestleMania 23’s Money in the Bank encounter continued the scintillating platform set in the concept's first two years, earning praise for a strong paced formula and combining rapid finisher onslaughts with typical ladder violence. It was a theatrical spot fest won by then-rising star Mr Kennedy, but stands out in the annals of MITB folklore for one particularly heart stopping moment.

Mentioned at the beginning of this list, Edge's spearing of Jeff Hardy in mid-air at WrestleMania X-Seven during TLC II, was arguably the most iconic moment in ladder match history. Never one to be outdone in ladder matches, the Charismatic Enigma took it upon himself six years later to one-up his Rated-R foe and prove himself as wrestling’s craziest daredevil.

In a decision that would result in both men being stretchered out of the match, Jeff, at his brother Matt’s prodding, scaled a mammoth ladder and jumped 20ft, leaping onto a laying Edge through another ladder bridged between barricade and ring apron. Needless to say, the collision broke the ladder in half.

Payback is a dish best served cold, or in Jeff Hardy’s world, with a ridiculous leg-drop from atop a ladder.

Sheer car crash-like brutality at its finest, as Hardy undoubtedly stole the entire WrestleMania show in the night’s opening contest.
