I don't really know what to think of this. Sounds a little out there, kind of an odd thing to "ban". I hope it's not true, but really what difference will a match that's used once a year being taken away really have on the product as a whole?

considering the fact that they made 2 freaking PPVs around a ladder...a big difference

If it is true WWE are going too PG and stupid. I get the fact they are limited in having ladder matches due to safety etc. But "BAN" a ladder match? Pathetic.

Why WWE is doing this I have no idea. Its like there taking away simple wrestling fundamentals. No blood, no chair, and no ladders.

Maybe they are worried about something like what happened to Joey Merucry at Armageddon 2007 where he got cut wide open, which now would probably result in stopping the entire match.

TNA really needs to start capitalizing on how poor of a state WWE is in now.

But this is some bullshit and I don't even know if I should believe it.

Banning them completely is stupid, but I wouldn't mind them becoming the special attraction kind of match, like the Elimination Chamber.

Uh.. am I honestly the only one who remembers there's a fucking MITB PPV? How would they plan to do that without a fucking ladder? Come on people. This is so obviously bullshit, they wouldn't just randomly throw out a ban on their most popular gimmick match.
