00:00And you can make an argument that the ladder match produced some of the most unforgettable moments in sports entertainment history.
00:05I sure ain't gonna argue against it.
00:07Something about that little climb just brings out the true colors of a superstar.
00:11You can find out how much of themselves they're willing to sacrifice.
00:15Come on, just take it back in the ring? Pretty please?
00:19Say it a little louder, Saxton. I don't think they heard you.
00:22Producing a trampoline.
00:24Here's a question for you guys.
00:25What is the best time to make your way up the line when the opposition is either knocked out cold or a good 100 feet away?
00:33And those situations are pretty rare.
00:36In reality, you just have to go for it and pray.
00:40Oh my God!
00:42Ooh!
00:44Saw what was coming and got out of Dr. Chardin.
00:49He's allowed in cover.
00:51Took him out to me!
00:52There was no issue with that attack.
00:54Hey, sometimes desperate times call for desperate midgets.
00:58Boom!
00:58We did change.
01:00Oh, look at a scope slam.
01:02HBK looking to attack from the bottom.
01:06Liftoff!
01:07A 25 knuckle shuffle!
01:12Ooh, back elbow puts a stop to finish.
01:15Clothesline!
01:16He's looking to absolutely destroy his opponent with that check.
01:25Back elbow smash, nothing fancy.
01:27And that's another shake anybody's belief in themselves.
01:30Even Cody Rhodes.
01:31That shows you the ring general's genius in action.
01:34Well, maybe it's just me, but you can only be disrespected so many times like that before you start to develop a complex.
01:39He gets slapped a lot, Corey.
01:41It's not your business, Corey.
01:42And that was taking the attack to the competition with that one.
01:55Ooh, he saw it coming.
01:57That was one of those power bombs that would shorten someone's career.
02:00Oh, my God, look at this.
02:02They're setting him up.
02:03Double suplex.
02:04Can't stay the best of friends during the duration of this match, but they got the work done.
02:09This might be the start of something.
02:11Great way to completely disrupt the momentum and buy yourself some time.
02:22The Bionic Elbow.
02:24Standing Moonsault gets all of it.
02:30Adding a little flare to a damage and impact.
02:32Quite the showmanship.
02:35That gets reversed on CM Punk.
02:43He's climbing the turnbuckles to the top.
02:46We'll give her something big here.
02:47Blast off.
02:50Vision and suplex.
02:51We all know what is going through their head here.
02:55Yep.
02:56Destruction.
02:57Carnage.
02:58Annihilation.
02:59Yeah, but they should be thinking about this coming out of their paycheck.
03:02Any hands of a ring like that can do some lasting damage to the body.
03:13Slam!
03:14What impact.
03:14Flying forearm connects.
03:31Climbing up to the top.
03:32Looking to go high risk.
03:33Here he comes.
03:35From the top.
03:36Oh, man.
03:37He landed.
03:38What a blast.
03:39Heading to the ringside now.
03:51What a close line.
03:54Boom.
03:56Some intimidation tactics from Cody Rhodes.
04:01Oh, God.
04:02Cool chop block.
04:03It goes without saying that there is a certain disdain for your opponent when you pull off something like that.
04:10Oh, painful gut buster.
04:14Catches the leg.
04:15Club fly takes him down.
04:17Yeah, the vibe.
04:19H.B. King with great awareness.
04:22Oh, club with the right forearm.
04:25He's hurled out and crashes down to the floor.
04:28Oh, man.
04:29Oh.
04:34Oh.
04:48Uh-oh.
04:51He's positioning the water.
04:53He's knocking the middle of the lake.
04:55Head on that line.
04:56Shadow boy.
04:57Oh, you team.
04:59So close to victory.
05:01Man's going to be shaking up there.
05:03Making it difficult to capture glory.
05:06Now we see Jey Uso.
05:08Hard ride to the outside.
05:14Braun lining him up in the top turnbuckle.
05:19From the top.
05:20Going down.
05:21Bunchies and comes back.
05:23Oh, man.
05:27From behind.
05:28Here's the suplex.
05:36Oh, ouch.
05:39No one lost between these superstars right now.
05:41Really trying to prove who the better man truly is.
05:46Oh, look out.
05:48Showing the effects of this match.
05:50And part of this pain and discomfort will make us sending the ladder very challenging.
06:02Nice counter from Breaker.
06:07Heads outside the ring.
06:09And no count-outs means he can take his time.
06:11German suplex.
06:12German suplex.
06:17Sitting at the ladder.
06:18Center of the ring.
06:20Definitely the spot you want to put in.
06:22Climbing up.
06:22But is there enough time to go for the win?
06:25Well, it's looking for G.T.R.S.
06:29He's watching for it.
06:32The crowd is going absolutely crazy right now.
06:36They know this could be it.
06:38And now he gets back into the ring.
06:41From behind.
06:45Got them off their feet here.
06:47He's got them square in his sights here.
06:54Well placed elbow to break up the maneuver.
06:56Close line.
06:58Oh, that'll leave a mark.
06:59Oh, God.
07:01Oh.
07:03Escape that.
07:03Oh, drop kick.
07:13Just ejected from the ring.
07:15He wants this fight on the outside.
07:26Rhodes hooking his opponent.
07:30Under the right to back of the ring.
07:32Every successive move is putting their opponent in a dicey situation.
07:38The WWE Universe is on its feet.
07:40And deservedly so.
07:42These superpowers are holding nothing back.
07:44Oh, no, no.
07:48Stepping out of the ring here.
07:51Nothing he can do.
07:53Ooh.
07:53A direct head shot.
07:55Just sickening.
07:59Oh, he went low.
08:01The humanity.
08:07Spam!
08:07They are earth-shattering.
08:10Crucial offense executed perfectly.
08:12They have to go big or go home in a ladder match.
08:16And they just went huge.
08:20Ladders in position.
08:22Going to make the climb.
08:23Working on the hook here.
08:25It's going to take some time.
08:26But you've got to just keep going.
08:29Reaching for a win.
08:30Mass could spin.
08:31He has to capitalize now.
08:35Get to a ladder.
08:43Spinning kick to the gut.
08:44And the damage continues to mount on J.
08:47Time to see how much CM Punk has left in him.
08:50He gets sent straight down to the floor.
08:55He's got the ladder in place.
08:57Looking to win this.
08:58He will have a T-breaker.
09:00That's how you take the competition out of the equation.
09:03And this might be just the right time to climb the ladder of success.
09:07Ladders sat right in the middle of the way.
09:09Starks to cross but needs to move quickly.
09:13The WWE Universe standing in attention.
09:16Completely entranced by this matchup now.
09:20Can't miss action taking place in front of him.
09:23Nobody wants to blink.
09:25They do not want to miss a second of the action at this point.
09:29Is this the right time?
09:30Is this the career-making moment?
09:32This is so tense.
09:33The WWE Universe is waiting with Baiting Brown.
09:37Oh no, look out.
09:39Here we go.
09:40That's called changing the decor of the broadcast area.
09:43I have a feeling there's more to come, Corey.
09:46And now this conflict has found its way right by our announce table.
09:49In another minute, the chaos could be right on top of us.
09:53Pace it up high here.
09:56Ladders face first.
09:58And he just has to be in indescribable pain.
10:02I highly doubt anybody's going to throw in a towel, though.
10:05He gets out of the way.
10:07And a knee drop delivered.
10:09So precise.
10:10Boom.
10:12Stomping.
10:13Ouch.
10:15And Rose batters the competition further there.
10:18And Michaels has to fight through the pain and find his perseverance here.
10:22Big shot with the steps.
10:32I don't care who you are, that'll stop you in your tracks.
10:35Oh, there's a huge Frankensteiner.
10:59Rose has a perfect hook.
11:01And it's Jay.
11:04Oh!
11:05Globbing blow.
11:08Take it to the floor.
11:10And he's got no worries about the count.
11:11We're going to have that candlestick means he is truly willing to go to the extreme.
11:20Good luck to finish this.
11:22The liberating of power.
11:24But this is going to hurt.
11:26Uh-oh.
11:27Side slam from the...
11:29Ladder set right in the middle of the ring.
11:32Starts the climb.
11:33But needs to move quickly.
11:35This could end it all right here.
11:37All it has to be pumping right now.
11:39Needs to focus and pull it together.
11:41No time to wait.
11:42Hits to hurry.
11:43Getting your hands on the prize isn't enough.
11:46You've got to yank this opportunity down.
11:49CM Punk looking to turn out the lights.
11:52Go!
11:52A move like that usually signals the end is near.
11:56But the final prize is still dangling above the ring.
12:02A burning danger with an elbow to the stomach.
12:04Oh, shoot!
12:05Tim is it!
12:06And now that can give him enough time to get up to the prize.
12:12CM Punk with a giant hockey.
12:15Look at this.
12:16Twisting, turning, doing anything he can to get out of this.
12:20And he decides to let his opponent out of the holes.
12:23Might have felt like he was losing a grip and didn't want the opposition to counter out of the submission.
12:27Back into the ring now.
12:28Headed out to ringside now.
12:30What does he have planned?
12:36Ooh, man!
12:40Any one of these attacks could cause irreparable damage.
12:45CM Punk looking to put his opponent away out of his shoulders.
12:49Go to sleep!
12:50That might be enough to put them away for good.
12:53Anything to keep the competition from climbing that ladder before you.
13:01Center of the ring!
13:03Perfect ladder positioning and placement here.
13:06Headed up that ladder.
13:07Center of the ring!
13:09Reaching for the prize.
13:11Well, it looks like that hook is causing a lot of problems up there.
13:14Made to the top.
13:15Now it's about snatching down the prize.
13:18Just fingertips away now.
13:21This could be it.
13:22Got those hips looking all the time.
13:24We're seeing more.
13:26Going for it.
13:28Trying to step through.
13:30Roll on their belly.
13:31Legs hooked and fully seated.
13:33Boston Crab locked in.
13:35And he...
13:35And he loves.
13:37Hitches upon it.
13:38Goes crossroads!
13:39Have to be thinking about making the climb after that maneuver.
13:45Placing the ladder in the corner.
13:47He's clearly got something planned here.
13:49Yeah, I don't know.
13:51Cody looking for the right crossroads!
13:54And now is the time to act and go for that spear!
13:59He's moving taking a piece out of each competitive.
14:03Got to dig deep and find the endurance test line in the ladder.
14:06And each of these lethal maneuvers have got to be taking a toll.
14:10At the ladder now.
14:11Let's see if this is right for the picket.
14:14And here he goes.
14:15He's going to try to grab this through.
14:17The longer this goes, the more likely we can see a falling crash back to the canvas.
14:21He's close.
14:22Good night!
14:23Grabs it!
14:24And the ladder match is over!
14:31Here is your winner!
14:32Manny Bennett!
14:37Let's get it!
