Poor old Shelton Benjamin. For a number of years the Money in the Bank ladder match was the highlight of the WrestleMania card, and for a lot of these years it was Mr. Benjamin who provided the most memorable moment from the match. Whether it is running up the ladder to deliver a clothesline to Chris Jericho or being destroyed from a huge ladder to the outside by Carlito and Mr. Kennedy, Shelton's tumbles live long in the memory.

It is fitting that his last WWE match took place at WrestleMania in a Money in the Bank match then. However, this also happened to be the first 10-man match and also the one won by Jack Swagger, making it the least memorable and least impactful Money in the Bank match in its history. Shelton fell from a great height, but by this time it was depressingly old hat. 

Shelton would go on to work in various other promotions, putting on some excellent matches in New Japan Pro Wrestling and NOAH. Every year comes with rumours of a return to WWE, and ladder matches will be all the better for such a turn of events.
