5. Shelton Benjamin Runs Up A Ladder (And Front Flips To The Floor) (WrestleMania 26)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-W5lI_Y3Mc Remember what was said about Shelton Benjamin looking to outdo himself in later MiTB matches? Well, fast forward to the second one from WrestleMania 22. Intercontinental Champion once more going in to this one, Benjamin felt as though he was clearly adept at running up conveniently placed ladders by this point - so fancied a change. That's the only explanation. Shelton placed a ladder on the top rope - to invent a kind of make-shift ramp - and ran across the ring and up the ladder before performing a suicidal front flip on Matt Hardy, Ric Flair and Bobby Lashley waiting below. Shelton did everything with such grace. Later on he'd appear out of nowhere and jump onto a ladder Rob Van Dam was using to stop him fetching the briefcase, though in the end it was Van Dam who got his hands on the contract. Incidentally Van Dam successfully defended his contract against Benjamin at Backlash, in a contract vs Interncontinental Championship winner take all match the following month. RVD later chose the event he wanted to use his contract at ahead of time - still the only man to do so and win - by beating John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006.
