10 Overlooked WWE Ladder Matches
Stepmasters.
6. King Sheamus Vs. John Morrison - TLC 2010
A great clash of styles with something worthwhile on the line, the Sheamus versus John Morrison ladder match from TLC 2010 is an unheralded triumph.
The two had been feuding in the aftermath of the Celtic Warrior's victory over the Shaman of Sexy in the King of the Ring tournament finals, and a future WWE Title shot was up for grabs.
The story of the match was the surly Sheamus using his brute force to counter Morrison's high-flying, parkour-inspired offsense. His strategy was to ground JoMo by targeting the knee in vicious fashion.
Morrison, ever the valiant babyface, kept coming back and showing guts while fighting through the pain as the bout completely devolved into them absolutely clattering each other with the steel.
The match was more about the drama, which was increased thanks to Morrison's consistent selling, and they really built things up nicely towards the big bump of the match, which saw the Great White take a fall through a ladder that was bridged between the ring apron and announce desk.
After almost twenty minutes of great action and storytelling, Johnny Drip Drip was able to pull down the contract and book himself for a future WWE Title contest.
