Customer Rating: Summary: Surprisingly WWE didn't do a hack job Comment: Usually wwe forget to add entrances to most of their compilations. For me the addition of the entrance music can make or break a collection. But they added them here. Also for the most part they added some very good and memorable matches. I'm can't note them all, but I know for a fact WCW had some pretty good ladder matches. I'm mostly a fan for the tag team and the money in the bank matches because they're usually non stop action.
Todd Grisham hosts the DVD with some appearances by past ladder match contenders. I was kind of disappointed with that. I felt it should have been hosted by Shawn Michaels. Also I felt it really didn't add much to the overall collection because I really didn't get into it.
I was also hoping that the Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels Ladder match of Wrestlemania was also in its entirety. But they only showed clips of that one. I'll just go ahead and list the matches.
Ladder match for North American Heavyweight Championship and Cash
Jake Roberts vs. Big Daddy Ritter; Stampede Wrestling July 1979
A decent match but really is nothing next to the matches of today and yesterdecade.
IC Title
Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels; July 1992
I always wanted to see this match in its entirety and I finally saw it. Pretty good match.
IC Title
Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon; Summerslam 1995
The second and last between these two. But I liked the first one better.
IC Title
Rock vs. Triple H; Summerslam 1998
Terri Invitational Tournament
Edge and Christian vs. The New Brood(Jeff & Matt Hardy); No Mercy Oct 1999
Who would have thought this was just the beginning of the things soon to come?
TLC Tag Team Championship
Dudleyz vs. The Hardys vs. Edge and Christian; Summerslam 2000
The first TLC ever.
Ladder match for a WCW Cruiserweight championship contract
3 Count vs. Jung Dragons vs. Jamie Noble & Evan Karagias; Starrcade 2000
WCW cruiserweights hardly ever disappoint, and this match was no exception.
IC Title
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho; Royal Rumble 2001
Another classic from their awesome rivalry.
TLC 2 World tag team championship
Hardys vs. Dudleyz vs. Edge and Christian Wrestlemania x-7 2001
Possibly the best of the series.
Fatal 4 way TLC for the World Tag Team titles
Edge & Christian vs. Jericho & Benoit vs. The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz; Smackdown 2001
The match Edge clearly lost, but wwe changed history and said he didn't.
IC Title
Edge vs. Christian No Mercy 2001
WWE breathing life into an old brother vs. brother jealousy storyline. Only this time a ladder was added.
IC title
Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam; Raw May 2002
My favorite match between these two. It should have been on ppv.
Undisputed WWE Championship
Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy; Raw July 2002
I didn't really feel this match. I'm just not used to Taker in these kind of matches.
TLC match for World Tage Team Titles
Kane & The Hurricane vs. Rob van dam & Jeff Hardy vs. Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley vs. Chris Jericho & Christian; Raw October 2002
IC title
Chris Jericho vs. Christian; Unforgiven 2004
Money in the Bank
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Christian vs. Kane vs. Shelton Benjamin; Wrestlemania 21 2005
First ever Money in the Bank ladder match. No real difference between the other ones except its a briefcase.
Ladder Match for the custody of Dominick
Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio; Summerslam 2005
A very good match, extremely stupid storyline.
Loser Leaves Raw
Matt Hardy vs. Edge; Raw Oct. 2005
TLC for the WWE Championship
Edge vs. Ric Flair; Raw Jan. 2006
I like Ric Flair but he doesn't belong in matches like this. But thats just my opinion though.
TLC for the WWE title
Edge vs. John Cena; Unforgiven 2006
Others have noted this. This is when Cena is at his best. And this was a very good match. In fact, I feel this was Cena's best match right before the I quit match with JBL.
IC Title
Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro; Raw Nov. 2006
I always felt Nitro was talented. I waited patiently for his solo push and this match proved he deserved a good push. I've enjoyed a good portion of his matches since this one.
Fatal Four Way for the WWE tag titles
Paul London & Brian Kendick vs. MNM vs. Hardyz vs. William Regal & Dave Taylor; Armageddon DEC. 2006
This was a brutal match, part of a brutal ppv. Watch Mercury's face get turned into hamburger.
The ladder match is not my favorite type of match. And these days if they don't involve the Hardy's I usually have low hopes for them. I'm very happy WWE didn't half bake this one like the History of the Heavy weight Championship and the extremly atrocious best of the IC title. Any wrestling fan should appreciate this with open arms. Its 3 disk of non stop action and fun.
