Both superstars were intense and focused heading into this Ladder Match. Benoit and Jericho battled outside the ring, and went for the ladder almost immediately. Benoit was the first man to be pulled from the top of the ladder, as the Wolverine was dropped just moments after the opening bell rang!
Jericho soon used the ladder as a weapon, thrusting the top of the ladder right into Benoit's head. But moments later, Benoit whipped Jericho into the ladder face-first! Benoit then attempted to propel himself through the ropes to the outside, but Y2J was waiting for him with a steel chair, which cracked right off Benoit's head.
In an amazing display, Jericho soon locked Benoit in the Walls of Jericho on top of the ladder! Soon after, Benoit locked Jericho in the Crossface, and knocked Jericho shoulder-first into the ringpost.
Jericho then knocked Benoit off the ladder and grabbed the Intercontinental Championship to win the title! |
