This writer's favourite wrestler of all time, Dean Malenko went his entire career without taking part in a ladder match. Malenko was the Man of a Thousand Holds, a pure wrestler from a slightly bygone era, so maybe it is of little surprise that the Ice Man didn't take part in a plunder and violence match.

Would it have been great? Of course it would have been great, this is Dean Malenko we are talking about here. By the time Malenko moved over to the WWE his career was arguably on the way down the hill, and whilst he was still a hugely talented competitor he didn't have as much to offer the future as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

WCW didn't have a whole lot of ladder matches either, meaning there simply wasn't much in the way of opportunities for Malenko to part in one.
