I have seen many wild ladder matches over the years, but few can match this epic encounter. Somehow, these six wrestlers managed to have a better multi-man ladder match than the inaugural Money In The Bank Ladder match from WrestleMania 21, and that’s saying something.

The reason this worked so well was because every single person played an important role in making this into an enjoyable demolition derby. You had Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan, the two monsters that crushed each other and the others with vicious power moves (also, Sullivan has one of the best big-man finishers in NXT right now).

Velveteen Dream and EC3 looked like they were both suicidal, taking extreme risks and absorbing ridiculous amounts of punishment from everyone around them. Adam Cole was the perfect heel, resorting to underhanded tactics. Finally, there was Ricochet, who lived up to his reputation by flying off of things like he was born with wings.

Like other famous ladder matches before it, this contest was light on psychology and heavy on wild, unpredictable action. And that’s what made it so much fun to watch.
