Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the history of the match
The Money in the Bank Ladder Match is the main match of the homonymous PPV created specifically to host the aforementioned match starting from 2010 . The match up to that moment was the prerogative of WrestleMania in which it debuted in the edition number 21 in the now distant 2005. As already happened for the Hell in a Cell (find our article with The Best Hell in a Cell) also Money in the Bank is a reinterpretation and evolution of the more traditional ladder match. As the title suggests, a ladder match is a match that allows the use of a metal ladder both as an offensive weapon and as a tool to retrieve something suspended in the center of the ring.Commonly to be suspended is a belt or an object as in the case of the first known ladder match or the one fought in September 1972 between Dan Kroffat (who is believed to be the inventor of the stipulation) and Tor Kamata in the Calgary Stampede Wrestling where a bundle of banknotes was suspended. The ladder match was not a very common stipulation in the 70s and 80s so much so that another one was fought again in Calgary Stampede Wrestling only in 1983.
The legendary Bret Hart faced Bad on that occasion Allen News. It was the same Hitman arriving at WWF / WWE who proposed the stipulation to Vince McMahon. However, the first WWF / WWE ladder match was fought only on 21 July 1992 between Bret Hart himself and Shawn Michaels (recover our interview with HBK) during a live show with the Intercontinental Championship up for grabs. The first "televised" ladder match was that of WrestleMania X, again for the Intercontinental Championship, between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon.
To date, 28 Money in the Bank Ladder Matches have been fought. It is an evolution of the classic ladder match based in all probability on the ladder match fought in 1987 in the British World of Sport by Kendo Nagasaki and Clive Myers who offered a gold disc that would have guaranteed an automatic title shot at the weight belt. maximum. WWE has reworked this idea by first making Money in the Bank Ladder Match, a match that includes 8 to 10 participants and then giving away a simple briefcase containing a contract that guarantees a title shot to one of the federation's major titles.
The peculiarity is that this title shot can be collected at any time, even and above all by surprise, which makes the winner of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match a real loose cannon and a constant threat to the champions in charge.
