Spandex Standups

Back in 2005 Chris Jericho and Brian Gewirtz were trying to figure out how to get a few of the guys into the big show that didn't have storylines already in progress. They wanted to take the traditional ladder match that while a huge hit with fans had grown a bit stale. Well...what if at the top of that ladder is a guaranteed title shot, valid for one year after the event?! The Money in the Bank match was born and has been a staple in the WWE arsenal since Wrestlemania 21! Lets talk this awesome history of this storied event...some bad, most good... let's get into it!!
