5 match concepts and the creators behind them

What exactly did The Game create?

#4 Money in the Bank Chris Jericho

Jericho has some great ideas

In kayfabe terms, Chris Jericho first came up with the idea for the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2005. In reality, funnily enough, that story is also true with Y2J genuinely thinking up the concept of a multi-man #1 contender’s ladder match. Of course, there’s more to it than that as we all know, but Jericho certainly got the ball rolling.

It’s quite amusing to consider that despite being the brains behind the big spots Jericho has never actually captured the briefcase. It’s quite odd too, considering that he is not only one of the best high flyers to this day but that he’s also one of the most conniving heels.

The briefcase would suit him down to a tee, which is why we think he should get a run with it before calling a day on his illustrious career.
