Several WWE fans pointed out a bizarre moment during Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view when SmackDown commentator Michael Cole made the claim that Edge invented the concept of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The WWE Hall of Famer did win the initial ladder match as was the first man to ever successfully cash-in the briefcase twice, but he’s never been credited as the inventor of the concept. That distinction belongs to another Canadian in Chris Jericho, now a member of AEW’s roster. Several fans altered Jericho to Cole’s comment, prompting “Le Champion” to respond.
16 years ago this was originally conceived as a 1-time only “Hollywood Dream” match with RVD climbing a ladder, grabbing a contract & declaring his dream was to bring back ECW. I think we had potential “dreams” for everyone. Wish I remembered them. Anyway, happy & safe #MITB! https://t.co/e5NX2a8DY2
Big E winning #mitb is great. I’m even happier he was never satisfied with being “strong but silent” and took upon himself to craft a three dimensional completely unique insanely likable persona, ignoring the critics and trusting his gut. https://t.co/BTvzIv0mJc
