Following on from the DOG CHAIN MATCH Thread!!-Another 'Innovation' brought into
Wrestling Bouts in the late '70's-'80's was The Ladder Match!!
For me a ridiculous 'Concept' which reduced the 'Bout' to a Brawl and the ONLY Tactic of
pushing the Opponent off the Rungs lest he manage to Capture the Prize first that was
Dangling in the Rafters!!-The only other method employed seemed to consist of clobbering
the Opponent WITH the Ladder and smashing it down on the prone Adversary as he lay
flat on the Canvas!-This ISN'T Wrestling at all!!
I really started to get annoyed with this 'Innovation' when KENDO'S much-vaunted Return
after his 7 Year lay-off from the Ring was announced to be a Ladder Match' against
IRON FIST-CLIVE MYERS!-But there's Worse!!
This whole Charade was played out with DISCO MUSIC Blaring and PSYCHEDELIC
STROBE LITES Search Lighting the Hall!-For me Totally Cringeworthy and a complete
travesty for KENDO'S First Match back!
It seems most Top Wrestlers of the time 'indulged' in these 'Ladder Matches' and Years
before the above 'DISCO' Fiasco even JOHN QUINN was getting involved!-Top of the BIil
Fayre-Thank Goodness I'd stopped attending Live Shows in the main by this Time!!
A Big Guy like Quinn could have got away with a short step ladder!...
