10 Most Brutal Money In The Bank Ladder Match Spots
4. Sin Cara Gets Powerbombed Into Oblivion (Money In The Bank 2011)
Despite a lack of depth in the upper mid-card in 2011, WWE still managed to produce two uniquely compelling Money in the Bank ladder matches, showcasing the very best of both brands.
This especially
rang true on the SmackDown side, with the blue brand’s affair kicking this historic event off in wildly entertaining fashion. Relying on a field comprised of predominantly younger
talent, with no less than six first-time MITB competitors, including the
victor Daniel Bryan, this rendition heavily relied on high-flying
athleticism to sell the contest's brutality.
Although, the usual breed of violence was lost on this match. To say this would be serving a severe injustice to Sin Cara and his crushing bump at the hands of Sheamus.
The nifty luchador was running wild early, but a wicked Brogue Kick from the Celtic Warrior brought him quickly crashing down to earth. Spotting a ladder wedged between the announce table and ring apron, Sheamus proceeded to nail Sin Cara with a jumping powerbomb in what was simply a jaw-dropping moment. Both the ladder and Sin Cara himself were completely bent in half on impact, his body convulsing in pain to the point where he had to leave on a stretcher.
Nevertheless, the audience was in
raptures post powerbomb, reflecting how truly unforgettable this moment
was.
