7. Shelton Benjamin Runs Up A Ladder (WrestleMania 21)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWEt3DkYrHM This'll be Shelton Benjamin's first mention, but certainly not his last. At WrestleMania 21, Benjamin, Chris Jericho, Edge, Christian, Chris Benoit and Kane competed in the first ever Money in the Bank ladder match. There were numerous tremendous spots in the match, with each Superstar having the benefit of a clean slate to work with given the match was a completely new concept at the time. While Edge may have won in the end, it was Intercontinental Champion Shelton who provided some of the best moments of the match. His leap over the ropes and onto the rest of the competitors in the match to the floor early on was spectacular, but Shelton saved his most insane moment for later. As Chris Jericho climbed towards the briefcase and reached out, Shelton came out of nowhere to run up a ladder set up diagonally from the floor to a ladder rung, before clotheslining Jericho off the top in one swift movement. Benjamin continually looked to top his antics in years to come.
