Ladder match dvd question

[Kris Kobain]

I borrowed the ladder match dvd from my roomate and was watching it yesterday. The very first match was from CSW and had Jake Roberts (in shorts which was weird to me) vs JYD.
In the match there is a guy that helps keep the ladder standing up and the ref. They both look very young, Does anyone know who they are and if they went on to do anything outside CSW?

Also I started to wonder if Bret Hart brought up the idea to do a ladder match in the WWF. It struck me odd that they show a CSW match and that Bret was in the first WWF ladder match. (which I already knew.)

According to him, he did. It was supposed to be a one-time deal, and was apparently pissed at HBK for bringing up the idea of doing another ladder match in WWF against Razor Ramon.

Unrelated, but ladder matches made me think of it: F the haters, Bubba Ray Dudley is the goddamn man.

It's really hard for me not to believe him when he says that then. Since it was already going on in CSW.
