00:00
a very motivated Shawn Michaels and there you see the money in the bank is
00:05
hanging high above the ring high stakes indeed
00:12
and now it is time for the interpromotional money in the bank
00:18
ladder match now the first man to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase
00:23
will not only win the match but also a contract for a future championship match
00:29
that can be used at any time over the next 12 months
00:37
and here comes Taz in my mind, the man who's the favorite
00:41
from Cameron, North Carolina
00:43
weighing in at 236 pounds
00:47
Matt Hardy
00:49
he's from Smackdown and Matt Hardy because of his history in ladder matches
00:53
three ladder matches at Wrestlemania including this one
00:55
I believe he's the favorite
00:57
I don't doubt about it, Paul, I agree with you
00:59
I'm kind of leaning towards Finlay in this one
01:01
but I hope it's the Smackdown guy
01:03
from North Carolina
01:05
weighing in at 248 pounds
01:07
he is the Intercontinental Champion
01:11
Shelton Benjamin
01:13
Michael Cole and Taz, you can talk about the Smackdown guys all you want to
01:17
but this young man, Shelton Benjamin
01:19
is out to make a name for himself
01:21
he's already the Intercontinental Champion
01:23
he wants to be the World Champion
01:25
making his way to the ring
01:27
from Belfast, Ireland
01:29
weighing in at 233 pounds
01:31
Finlay
01:33
so King, let me ask you a question
01:35
you think for one second
01:37
Shelton Benjamin can deal with this tough Irish bastard right here?
01:41
maybe minus the shillelagh
01:43
yeah, that's a good point
01:45
Finlay used that shillelagh to defeat Lashley
01:47
to get into this Money in the Bank ladder matchup
01:49
a couple of weeks ago on Smackdown
01:51
I'm impressed by Finlay
01:53
he's tougher than a $2 steak
01:57
how much is a $2 steak anyway?
01:59
$1.99
02:05
from Battle Creek, Michigan
02:07
weighing in at 230 pounds
02:09
Rob Van Dam
02:11
King Rob Van Dam
02:13
missed WrestleMania last year
02:15
due to a knee injury
02:17
Van Dam has never lost at WrestleMania
02:19
he's 2-0
02:21
the titles are a hell of a lot about ladders
02:23
well that's true
02:25
Michael and Taz, so far
02:27
everybody that's come to the ring has been a favorite
02:29
it just keeps getting better and better
02:31
I agree, I said on Smackdown this past Friday
02:33
that I was afraid of this guy Van Dam
02:35
being in this matchup here
02:37
look at the spirits from Lashley
02:39
from Colorado Springs, Colorado
02:41
weighing in at 273 pounds
02:43
Bobby Lashley
02:45
I'm afraid of this man
02:47
Bobby Lashley making his WrestleMania debut
02:49
after winning the last chance
02:51
Battle Royal
02:53
out of all these men in this match
02:55
there's nobody with more power
02:57
intensity or credibility
02:59
than that man right there, Bobby Lashley
03:01
I like this guy
03:03
former wrestler for the U.S. Army team
03:05
he is a stud
03:07
ok, I got to disagree about one thing
03:09
in just a second
03:11
weighing in at 234 pounds
03:13
The Nature Boy
03:15
Ric Flair
03:17
Ric Flair
03:19
Taz, he may not have the power
03:21
he may not have the intensity
03:23
but he certainly got the credibility
03:25
16 time world heavyweight champion
03:27
Ric Flair will wrestle in only his second
03:29
ladder match
03:31
in his 30 plus year
03:33
career
03:35
but inside that briefcase
03:37
hanging high up on the ring
03:39
is a contract
03:41
and that contract says
03:43
the possessor of it
03:45
will win the WWE title
03:47
or the world title
03:49
anytime that man chooses
03:51
between now and the next 12 months
03:53
and JR remember what happened
03:55
Edge won this matchup last year
03:57
he cashed in on Money in the Bank January
03:59
at New Year's Revolution
04:01
taking advantage of a John Cena
04:03
who had defended the title successfully
04:05
minutes before
04:07
in that Armageddon matchup
04:09
now remember ladies and gentlemen
04:11
no pinfalls, no submissions
04:13
there it is, only one way to win
04:15
secure a ladder, put it in a ring
04:17
climb it
04:19
and possess that briefcase
04:21
and there's the power
04:23
lastly we were talking about
04:25
WrestleMania debut for this man
04:27
Michael Cole as you said
04:29
the reason these guys want that contract
04:31
is because it can be cashed in
04:33
at absolutely any time
04:35
you can take advantage of a moment of weakness
04:37
on the part of the champion and bang
04:39
well that's the deal too
04:41
somebody will capitalize on it
04:43
now Matt Hardy is going to utilize
04:45
this weapon, this ladder
04:47
Matt Hardy may be the most
04:49
proficient
04:51
of all the men in this ring
04:53
but let me tell you something
04:55
putting his match
04:57
maybe his career on the line
04:59
with that crossbody
05:01
over the top right into the ladder
05:03
taking the ladder and Matt Hardy
05:05
down. Taz I think you agree that was not
05:07
a smart move
05:09
I don't think that was a smart move
05:11
but Rob Van Dam has made a very good living
05:13
for a long time in ECW
05:15
and here in the WWE
05:17
using ladders and putting his body on the line
05:19
the former Golden Gopher
05:21
from the University of Minnesota
05:23
Shelton Benjamin
05:25
didn't use any ladders in the Big Ten
05:27
but he's using one here at Wrestlemania
05:29
here's the reigning
05:31
Intercontinental Champion
05:33
that sadistic little smile on Shelton's face
05:35
like this kid is
05:37
oh my!
05:39
a running sinkhole over the top
05:41
and Benjamin takes down lastly
05:43
Van Dam and Matt Hardy
05:45
what are these guys doing?
05:49
that was phenomenal
05:51
let's take a look at this here
05:53
amazing athletic ability by Benjamin
05:55
it's phenomenal but it could have been suicidal
05:57
and remember Shelton Benjamin knows
05:59
what it's like to be in this matchup
06:01
he was involved in the Money in the Bank matchup
06:03
last year at Wrestlemania
06:05
Benley and Flair
06:07
I like this matchup
06:09
remember it's every man for himself here
06:11
it don't matter what brand you're from
06:13
oh here goes Flair
06:15
he's got to grab that briefcase
06:17
what is he doing?
06:19
look at Matt Hardy trying to
06:21
shut down Ric Flair
06:23
come on Matt
06:25
he's out of his element in these ladder matches
06:27
but Matt Hardy's in his JR
06:29
no doubt
06:31
oh no you've got to be kidding me
06:33
27 years old
06:35
what the hell
06:37
the ladder
06:39
the back
06:41
the kidneys
06:43
oh my god
06:45
Flair may be broken
06:47
he's hurt
06:53
one of you guys might know
06:55
Flair had a plane accident
06:57
or something
06:59
broke his back
07:01
back in 1975
07:05
check out Shelton Benjamin
07:07
one more time
07:09
can we see what
07:11
Flair, watch this
07:15
it was 31 years ago when Ric Flair
07:17
broke his back
07:19
October 4th 1975
07:21
and the 57 year old living legend
07:23
Ric Flair
07:25
a surefire hall of famer someday
07:27
being assisted out of here
07:29
I think something
07:31
I think he may have hyperextended his knee
07:37
oh
07:39
by the resourceful Van Dam
07:41
driving Benjamin face first
07:43
into the ladder
07:45
Van Dam is fearless
07:47
he's held in here
07:49
oh and thunder
07:51
right into the Ace Hardware ladder section
07:55
let's see if we can see one more time
07:57
maybe if we can catch what happened to Ric Flair
07:59
from this angle
08:01
maybe his heel landed
08:03
all the weight of his body
08:05
look at this
08:07
look at Lashley
08:09
Lashley the dark horse in the matchup
08:11
trying to step the ladder up and head up for the briefcase
08:13
this will be great here
08:15
come on Lashley
08:17
looks a little tentative here
08:19
he's afraid of heights
08:21
he wasn't in the air force
08:23
he was in the army
08:25
oh
08:27
Lashley with the right hand
08:29
these are two great athletes right here
08:31
two young stallions here in the WWE
08:33
Lashley from Smackdown
08:35
Benjamin from Raw
08:37
what the hell is this
08:39
hang on Bobby
08:41
hold on
08:43
he's trying to powerbomb him off there
08:45
Lashley's too strong
08:47
three of them got him
08:49
the three men
08:51
the powerbomb
08:53
it's every man for himself
08:55
two Smackdown guys help the Raw guy
08:57
get the other Smackdown guy over
08:59
and Lashley a freak of nature
09:01
to say the least
09:03
I mean that in a nice way
09:05
I don't want to offend Bobby Lashley
09:07
you don't want to do that
09:09
it's all B.J.'s here
09:11
he's got to try it out
09:15
this match is so dangerous
09:17
we have two officials
09:19
one Raw and one Smackdown official
09:21
it's just a call for the paramedics
09:23
Lashley's face
09:25
driven right into the ladder
09:27
Matt Hardy now with an offensive
09:29
flurry on Finlay
09:31
and what a story this would be
09:33
of Matt Hardy using a ladder
09:35
to win this match
09:39
this is his third ladder match
09:41
at Wrestlemania for Matt Hardy
09:43
oh my god
09:45
Finlay's unorthodox style I said earlier on
09:47
can really help him in this type of a matchup
09:49
I said on Friday Night Smackdown
09:51
that Finlay was my pick
09:53
Finlay's looking good right now
09:55
I don't care how strong Lashley is
09:57
that ladder, that metal ladder
09:59
is going to do some damage
10:01
this is a bar room brawl like environment
10:03
I think right down Finlay's alley
10:05
I think so
10:07
now I don't know if Finlay
10:09
one ladder down and
10:11
Finlay has busted heads
10:13
all around the world
10:15
what the hell
10:17
what's Flair
10:19
what is Flair thinking
10:21
he's hobbling back out here
10:23
what the hell is he doing back out here
10:25
it shows you how important it is
10:27
for every man to win this match
10:29
Flair says he's got another run in him
10:31
Flair says he can be
10:33
the champion one more time
10:35
now wait a minute, hold on a second
10:37
why the hell can he go in the back and leave the match
10:39
and not come back to the match
10:41
there are no rules, there's no rules in the matchup
10:43
only one way to get this match to end
10:45
that's a climb the ladder
10:47
Flair's always been the opportunist
10:49
possess the briefcase
10:51
and Matt Hardy
10:53
pulling down that North Carolina legend
10:55
how ironic is that
10:57
Hardy also from Tarhelia
10:59
Flair now fighting
11:01
for everything he's got
11:03
wouldn't it be something
11:05
if the 57 year old legend
11:07
a man that will no doubt
11:09
be on the face someday
11:11
uh oh, climbing his toes
11:13
reach out Rich
11:15
he's got it
11:17
somebody stop him
11:19
wait a minute
11:21
he's got the solely
11:23
wait a minute
11:25
oh yeah
11:27
Flair right in the face
11:29
with that solely
11:31
he was inches away
11:33
from possessing the briefcase
11:35
the guy said there were no rules
11:37
do what you gotta do
11:39
watch Benjamin here
11:41
gotta get it on the swing by
11:43
the hell
11:45
climbing the ladder
11:47
he's gotta
11:49
neutralize
11:51
the intercontinental champion
11:53
somebody's gotta neutralize that briefcase
11:55
there you go
12:01
I don't wanna see Benjamin get this opportunity
12:03
to wrestle for the championship
12:05
whenever he sees fit
12:07
come on Bobby
12:09
what a monster
12:11
a gut wrench into an overhead
12:13
that's his finishing move
12:15
it's a dominator like the dominator
12:17
Rod Simmons used to use
12:19
very impressive
12:21
I gotta agree with you Taz
12:23
I didn't wanna see Benjamin win this thing either
12:25
because then we'll have to listen to him and his mother
12:27
grow about it for the rest of the year
12:29
I can't sit and pull a main event
12:31
I'll be sitting in the corner again over here
12:33
what is Lashley gonna do
12:35
Lashley is primed to win the money in the bank matchup
12:37
come on Bobby come on Lashley
12:39
wait a minute
12:41
look behind you
12:45
that's what I said and I knew it
12:47
I said it on Friday night
12:49
what did he do
12:51
use that chair
12:53
under his feet
12:55
where the hell did he come from
12:57
I don't wanna see this again
13:01
I've taken that in my face
13:03
from Benjamin
13:05
Benjamin is so unorthodox
13:07
he's dangerous in these types of matches
13:09
Benjamin is unorthodox to say the least
13:11
has absolutely no fear
13:13
I think the same can be said
13:15
regarding no fear of every man in this match
13:17
wait a minute what is
13:19
Ben Hardy you're way too far away from the briefcase
13:21
what the hell is Hardy doing
13:23
is Hardy gonna try a broad jump
13:25
yeah
13:27
wow
13:29
and Hardy may have torn out his hamstring
13:31
his hamstring smashed at the
13:33
Lashley's concrete floor
13:35
Hardy wanted to ground and make sure
13:37
he had Bobby Lashley grounded
13:39
and now Hardy
13:41
the most proficient man perhaps
13:43
in this match as far as
13:45
the use, effective use
13:47
of a ladder
13:49
and Matt Hardy now
13:51
climbing the rungs
13:53
of the ladder
13:55
he's got the briefcase
13:57
wait a minute Finley
13:59
I don't care it's two Smackdown guys
14:01
but they haven't had it
14:03
Finley climbing that ladder
14:05
he's not a ladder specialist either
14:07
but Matt Hardy is
14:09
oh look at this
14:11
no way side effect
14:13
the side effect by Matt Hardy
14:15
and the grimace on Finley's face
14:17
really told the story
14:19
how the ladder fell down
14:21
and bounced on him
14:23
and remember ladies and gentlemen what's at stake here
14:25
in that briefcase above the ring
14:27
is an opportunity to wrestle for the championship
14:29
for the championship over the next year
14:31
Van Dam
14:33
this guy can fly
14:35
Van Dam on top of that ladder
14:37
he can do it
14:39
stop him
14:41
he don't care
14:43
I'm telling you
14:45
Van Dam
14:47
with a splash
14:49
off the top of the ladder
14:51
not his traditional flash fire version
14:53
this is unbelievable
14:55
this is the old Wiley Coyote cameo
14:57
oh man
14:59
ECW
15:01
ECW
15:03
ECW 10
15:05
brings through the Allstate arena here
15:07
well it's a big town for ECW
15:09
back in the day
15:11
they love Van Dam here
15:13
and Van Dam now
15:15
in hot pursuit of that briefcase
15:17
Van Dam can he win it
15:19
he wrestled so many last year
15:21
with a serious knee injury
15:23
he's looking for that opportunity
15:25
look at this
15:27
all he's got to do is pull it
15:29
oh my god
15:31
how the hell did he do that
15:33
the athleticism of Benjamin
15:35
where the hell did he come from
15:37
that's what I think Lee brought from the rock
15:39
directly to the ladder
15:41
gotta be freaking kidding me
15:43
where did he come from
15:45
look at Matt Hardy
15:47
behind you guys
15:49
just pull
15:51
twin ladders
15:53
multiple mayhem
15:55
and now look
15:57
Benjamin moves over to get in Matt Hardy's face
15:59
what a match
16:01
what a competitive match
16:03
and you can tell how motivated
16:05
he is
16:07
oh
16:09
the crash and the burn
16:11
oh my god
16:13
wait a minute he's there
16:15
Van Dam with the top roll out
16:17
he's got it
16:19
Van Dam
16:21
how'd he do it
16:23
here's your winner
16:25
Rob Van Dam
16:27
oh hang on
16:29
to that briefcase
16:31
Mr. Money in the Bank
16:33
that's Rob Van Dam
16:35
April 2nd 2006
16:37
Rob Van Dam
16:39
can now be called
16:41
Mr. Money in the Bank
16:43
hey you know what
16:45
I wish it was a Smackdown guy who won it
16:47
but it wasn't
16:49
Rob Van Dam was phenomenal
16:51
hey can Rob Van Dam have this success
16:53
that's instant
16:55
that remains to be seen
16:57
what an accomplishment
16:59
for Rob Van Dam
17:01
and look at the carnage laying around the ring
17:03
let's check this out
17:07
wow
17:11
let's look at earlier in the match
17:13
check out this move from RVD
17:15
look at this gigantic splash
17:17
look at this impact
17:19
oh my god I feel his body
17:21
and then Rob Van Dam
17:23
this may be the move that wanted for him
17:25
he pushed both Matt Hardy and Jeff Benjamin
17:27
right off the ladder out of the ring
17:29
without a doubt that was a deciding factor
17:31
in this match
17:33
no doubt about it that did it in
17:35
for Benjamin and Hardy
17:37
wow
17:39
and then Rob Van Dam
17:43
he couldn't get out of the ring fast enough
17:45
he had that briefcase in hand
17:47
it was a human demolition derby
17:49
but Rob Van Dam
17:51
is now
17:53
known as
17:55
Mr. Money in the Bank
17:57
congratulations RVD
