10 Greatest Money In The Bank performers of all time

Finlay

The Belfast Brawler competed in three MITB matches

Of all the superstars to compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match, Finlay may be one superstar that seems least at home in the air. While this is true, this did not prevent the fighting Irishman from making use of ladders to brawl with his opponents. The physical side of the match did favour his brutal style of wrestling and even then, Finlay did execute some aerial offense which proved his unlikely ability to adapt well to the ladder match environment on multiple occasions.

He may not be the first star to come to mind when recalling great performers in the match but after watchng these matches over again, Finlay had certainly contributed considerably in his three outings as an MITB performer.


John Morrison

Another innovative performer to grace this match is John Morrison. Not even two minutes into the Wrestlemania XXIV edition of the contest and The Prince of Parkour has a ladder in hand and performs a moonsault off the top of the turnbuckle onto a crowd of other superstars.

While excellent at making use of high octane offense in very unique ways, Morrison also makes use of the ladder in such an unorthodox way to climb for the briefcase and certifies that he could be considered one of the more creative competitors to compete for a guaranteed title opportunity.

CM Punk

However, CM Punk’s biggest performance at the MITV PPV wasn’t in the ladder match

After winning two back to back MITB contracts, you would believe it is already a guarantee that CM Punk must be considered one of the greatest performers in this type of match, yet if you look at the finer details, you will understand that The Voice of the Voiceless has every right to be considered one of the elite superstars to compete for the golden opportunity.

Not afraid to take a bump in his two winning efforts, it is the sight of a battered and bloodied Punk that is truly awesome as he has his third attempt to capture the briefcase stolen away from him by Paul Heyman, in a shocking moment in the history of Money in the Bank.


Daniel Bryan

Never one to shy away from an epic performance in the ring, Daniel Bryan has an argument for being considered one of the greatest performers of all time, regardless of match type. A winner of the briefcase in 2011, Bryan’s extraordinary fast pace makes for an excellent viewing when the momentum of the match begins to shift in the bearded warrior’s favour.

As his popularity began to skyrocket in 2013, Daniel Bryan turned in one of the most exciting performances in the history of the Money in the Bank ladder match, as his flurry of kicks and dives whipped up a storm in Philadelphia.
