Ladder match

Look, I don't know how they're gonna eventually settle all of this with all of these guys.

Everybody's been throwing out ideas like Elimination Chamber and Hell in a Cell and Ladder Match and tournament, and all of these ideas have been thrown out by fans, right? I don't know what they're gonna eventually land on.

But the p- the thing is that I'm hungry to see what they do here.

I wanna see, I more so care about the idea of one, getting Gunther back to a place where he feels like a real menace on the show.

Cage

in a ladder match.

Yeah.

So we're back to that, which we thought at one point that's where we were heading.

But that's what it is.

So, they drop a bombshell.

These three teams will be in a three-way ladder match.

Did they call it just a ladder match, or what did they actually call

Back in and Kendrick double-legs Wolfe.

Tonight I'm going to ask Williams about, next week he's got a ladder match against Jeremy Buck.

And he didn't know? He didn't know and he goes...

It's a conspiracy.

oh yeah at

their first pay-per-view and then a month at the following pay-per-view he worked as a producer and he was like look here's a spot you need to get in right just loads of t-shirts fold them like fuck fold them like fuck

he wanted that spot you know the ECW spot where all the fans threw the chairs in the ring it's fully in funk he wanted that just t-shirts then he it's like some sort of weird crystal maze where he has to bag as many as possible he has to wrap them up we've probably done that before like him in a ladder match but like instead of a contract or a belt it's just like tape and scissors stamps So this is quite dangerous to have

hanging above the ring.

Love a

ladder match.

Love,

love, love a ladder match.

We'll hang that national championship above a ladder.

So this week on NWA Power, we're going to have a ladder match fee for that national championship.

What about that?

That'll be interesting.

Today we are watching SummerSlam 1998.

The Triple H versus The Rock ladder match for the Intercontinental title.

That I really think kind of solidified these two guys as future Hall of Famers.

As just...

Yeah.

I do want to point something out here.

This match, so far, I'm finding it interesting because we haven't watched a ladder match like this in a really long time.

And I want to point out how the ladder is almost like a secondary character in the match.

My match.

Oh, a ladder match.

Shit.

Oh, there's Kurt.

Dang.

I don't know, man.

Okay, we're getting a ladder match? Okay.

Oh, here we go.

You know, we lived in an absolute halcyon paradise, and then they took the belt off him and you're like, "All right.

Okay." I c- I can't pretend to know much wrest- like, I, I know I have watched this match because it is on the Ladder Match DVD set that came out.

Yeah.

I don't think I would have wa- I, I've, don't, I don't think I have WrestleMania 21 on DVD or certainly didn't for ages.

I think the only reason I've ever re-watched this is because it's in the Ladder Match DVD set, which is mental, I think.

I, I think that, yeah, you, you can tell, like, that we aren't, like, gigantic experts on this because, um, the, the notorious six-hour layover in Billund, uh, for, if you want to hear more about that, just listen to our 2021 Christmas special.

Uh, one of the things we did to pass the time was just choose a random, like, 2000s pay-per-view and try and name what was on the card.

[laughs] Fucking hell.
