There are few superstars responsible for more extraordinary spots in Money in the Bank matches than Kofi Kingston.

Now one-third of The New Day, there was a time where fans would approach the popular ladder match with an eye on Kingston and what he would do to wow them that time. He was as immediately associated with the gimmick bout as anyone else ever had been and much of that had to do with the incredible risk he would take in the name of entertainment.

Whether he was using a broken ladder as stilts or throwing himself off the top of one and onto his opponents below, Kingston drew some of the biggest pops of any of the matches he appeared in, the fans appreciative of his willingness to throw caution to the wind.

Yet, no matter how many unforgettable performances Kingston has turned in over the course of his Money in the Bank appearances, he was never gifted the chance to actually win one of the bouts. Considering how many of his jaw-dropping spots are still featured in promo videos for the contest, that is a major disappointment.

Whether he ever won the title or not is another argument for another time.
