20 Best Wrestling Ladder Matches Ever

16. Dolph Ziggler vs. John Cena (TLC 2012)

Admittedly, John Cena is not a name many would associate with terrific Ladder Matches. Having competed in virtually every stipulation bout that WWE have to offer, Cena is also no stranger to ascending ladders, something which must surely come as a standard skill when putting pen to paper on a contract with the promotion nowadays. Those with a fear of heights need not apply, after all, and both Cena and Dolph Ziggler showed they certainly didn't have any reservations about being up high at TLC 2012. Instead of being a title match, the affair was held to determine who would hold the Money In The Bank briefcase. Ziggler had earlier won the item at the Pay-Per-View bearing the same name as the contract within the case, but now he was putting it on the line against Cena in the main event of TLC, and pretty much everybody thought John would leave as the victor. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2rxbr0_wr-matches-dolph-ziggler-vs-john-cena-ladder-match-for-the-mitb-contract-tlc-2012_sport During a dramatic and tense finale to the Pay-Per-View, Cena and Ziggler pulled out all the stops, putting together a match that had the folks inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York giddy. That's exactly what a Ladder Match should do, and the result - a Dolph Ziggler victory - only satisfied hardcore fans even more.
