Sometimes the ladder breaks your fall and sometimes…it just breaks. With WWE currently going Money in the Bank crazy, it’s been hard to think about anything other than who gets the briefcases. The build to the two matches has dominated Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live so much that there hasn’t been a lot of focus on the ladder matches themselves. While the build may be tiring, it’s rare that the ladder matches aren’t at least somewhat thrilling. If nothing else you’re likely to get one heck of a big crash, and that’s what WWE is looking at today.
These just don’t look nice.
Opinion: I know we see a lot of these but watching them in a row doesn’t exactly take away from their impact. These are big, painful looking landings with people falling from very high levels and crashing down even harder. There’s no way to fake a landing like that and these people are putting their lives on the line out there. Thankfully they’ve managed to avoid major injuries for the most part but you never can tell when things are going to get a lot worse in a hurry.
Which of these was the most devastating? Did WWE leave any big ones off? Let us know in the comments below.
