Smackdown Ladder match for the SmackDown Money In the Bank Briefcase, from WWE Money In the Bank 2011
I remember this, the opening match of one of the most fondly-remembered PPV cards of the past decade, being better than it was. Everyone works to get their spots in, which might have sounded like a cool idea at the time but, in practice, means this match goes a whopping twenty-four minutes, at least five minutes longer than it should’ve (for reference, this is almost ten more minutes than TLC II got). That’s not to say this wasn’t good or fun, but this was flaunted as a dark horse MOTYC at the time and that perception really hasn’t held up.
