10 Worst WWE Ladder Matches
WWE have produced some awful ladder matches
Look, a WWE ladder match is a bit like pizza; even when it’s ‘bad’, it’s still pretty damn good. They are typically awesome spectacles that linger long in the memory.
Not every match can be an awesome spectacle, though, and some of them closely resemble a pineapple and mushroom pizza. You’ll just about watch it but there are far better options out there.
These are the 10 Worst WWE ladder matches.
10. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H - Armageddon 2002
To be fair to Shawn Michaels and Triple H, they had just gone through the first two stages in this Three Stages of Hell Match before they attempted to climb the ladder and retrieve The Heartbreak Kid’s World Heavyweight Championship belt.
Hunter had taken the Street Fight first fall, with Michaels tying things up inside a cage and both men looked the worse for wear after 30-plus minutes of weapons-based combat, especially when Triple H was already working on an injured leg.
Fair play to him for gutting through it and trying to deliver a performance in a pay-per-view main event, but this was a major disappointment and a total waste of the Ladder Match stipulation.
HBK missed a splash off a ladder, while Triple H executed one of the worst Pedigrees of his career as the bout rapidly lost steam.
Given only five minutes to play with, they didn’t have enough time to ramp up the drama and fans only really reacted when Michaels took the big bump off the ladder and through the tables at ringside.
