WWE did an awesome and wonderful job picking out some of the most tremendous and show stealing Ladder Matches that has ever been.

Canadian Stampede Wrestling
North American Heavyweight Champion Jake Roberts Vs. Big Daddy Ritter(Junk Yard Dog) - This match was very unique. It isn't like the usual Ladder Matches we see today. Roberts and Ritter was using a one sided ladder and with help from the referee would climb the ladder for the championship belt. Nothing really special but basically here only for history value only. 3/5
Shawn Michaels Vs. Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart - This was during Bret Hart's second I.C. Title run and it during the early stages of Shawn Michaels becoming the "Heartbreak Kid." Michaels and Hart mostly kept this match on the ground and used the ladder to infelct pain on one another. Not a bad match but doesn't top their future bouts for the WWE Championship. Mostly here to display how WWE took the Ladder Match concept and re-invented it. 4/5
SummerSlam (August 27, 1995)
Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels Vs. Razor Ramon - Really glad WWE chose this match to put on here and not Michaels' and Razor's Wrestlemania X Ladder Match because most people forget that this match took place. Razor and Michaels put on a complete different match then from what they put on at Wrestlemania X. This match doesn't disappoint and it delivers. 4.5/5
SummerSlam (August 30, 1998)
Triple H Vs. Intercontinental Champion The Rock - The Rock and HHH topped their match from Fully Loaded a month earlier here. Even though Austin/Undertaker was the main event for this SummerSlam, HHH and The Rock stole the show. The Rock and HHH told a good story with HHH competing with an injured knee and over coming the punishment inflected on him and The Rock being the most ruthless he has ever been up to this point in his career. Mark Henry and Chyna playing significant roles in the match as well. This match would be the rocket ship for both The Rock's and HHH's careers that led to both men becoming big stars and World Champions in the future. 5/5
No Mercy (October 17, 1999)
Edge & Christian Vs. New Brood (Hardy Boyz) - This is the match that eventually put both teams on the map. This being the first tag team Ladder Match, all four men put on a great performance while putting on great and nonstop action all the way through. Never a slow moment in this match and this match delivered and then some. 5/5 [Also Available on "Edge: Decade Of Decadence"]
SummerSlam (August 27, 2000)
World Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian Vs. Hardy Boyz Vs. Dudley Boyz - This was the first TLC Match and it provided new and more unpredictable spots then from their Ladder Match earlier in the year at Wrestlemania. So many breath taking and exciting spots in this one that are too many to call. Awesome match and just one of those firsts that can never be over done again. 5/5
Starrcade (December 17, 2000)
Shane Helms & Shannon Moore Vs. Jamie Noble & Evan Karagias Vs. Jung Dragons - This match was for a shot at the WCW Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero Jr. All six men were at their prime here and they put on nonstop action all the way that was really the match of the night for Starrcade this year. Not really spotfesty like the TLC Matches in the WWE but these six men put on one heck of a perfromance that produced a great and exciting match. 5/5 [Also available on "Starrcade: The Essential Collection"]
Royal Rumble (January 21, 2001)
Intercontinetal Champion Chris Benoit Vs. Chris Jericho - Honestly, this match is one of the most brutal and violent one-on-one Ladder Matches of all-time. Benoit and Jericho just went out there and beat the holy hell out of each other. Both Jericho and Benoit takes soem hard bumps and Jericho's chairshot to Benoit when he dives through the ropes is very hardcore. This is one of those matches that when you look back on the PPV, this match was the match of the night. Just a show stealing match and a classic at that. 5/5
WrestleMania X-Seven (April 1, 2001)
Edge & Christian Vs. World Tag Team Champions Dudley Boyz Vs. Hardy Boyz - TLC II followed the exact same procedure as from TLC I only with the exception of Rhyno, Spike Dudley, & Lita all coming out and getting involved to a degree. The match was highlighted by Edge leaping off a 20 foot ladder and spearing Jeff Hardy (who was hanging off the hooks holding the belts) out of mid air to the floor. Another great TLC Match and one that will never be forgotten. 5/5
Smackdown (May 24, 2001)
World Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit Vs. Edge & Christian Vs. Dudley Boyz Vs. Hardy Boyz - Definitely the most forgotten and rare TLC Match in history. Mainly because of Edge not including this match when he says "I have never lost a TLC Match" and Benoit & Jericho just winning the Tag Team Titles on the previous Raw in the match where Triple H suffered his first quadricept injury. Benoit & Jericho bringing out new and unpredictable things to this TLC Match that we haven't seen before including Chris Benoit going through a table after trying to hit his diving headbutt off the top rope and suffering a con-chair-to to his already injured ribs from E&C that led to having neck surgery a month later. A "lost forgotten classic" here. 5/5
No Mercy (October 21, 2001)
Edge Vs. Intercontinental Champion Christian - Its interesting to see Edge and Christian going head to head with each other in a Ladder Match but this one doesn't top Edge's and Christian's later Ladder Matches and also doesn't come close to their prevoius ones. But still a good match to check out. 4.5/5
Raw (May 27, 2002)
Intercontinental Champion Eddie Guerrero Vs. RVD - Eddie and RVD surpassed their match from Backlash. The ladder really meshed well the styles of both men which allowed RVD and Eddie to take their regular moves and make them more devastating by using the ladder. RVD and Eddie put on a wrestling clinic while producing a tremendous Ladder Match in the process. Classic match and without of a doubt one of the best Ladder Matches in history in my book. 5/5 [Also Available on "Cheating Death: The Eddie Guerrero Story"]
Raw (July 1, 2002)
WWE Undisputed Champion The Undertaker Vs. Jeff Hardy - The back story to this match was to display the beating the Undertaker gave Hardy and Hardy refusing to give up and actually having the chance winning the Undisputed Championship. A good match but Jim Ross' commentating really made it more then what it was. 4.5/5
Raw (October 7, 2002)
World Tag Team Champion Kane Vs. Chris Jericho & Christian Vs. Bubba & Spike Dudley Vs. RVD & Jeff Hardy - Kane was going it alone in this TLC Match and he did a fantastic job holding his own against the other three teams. Lots of exciting and breath taking spots in this match that includes Hardy dropping a leg drop to Kane through a table from the top of the ladder, RVD hitting the "Van-Terminator" to Kane, and Kane chokeslamming Jericho from the top of the ladder. Lots of hard and impactive shots in this match where one includes Bubba Dudley suffering a concussion where he doesn't remember the match to this day. 5/5 [Also Available on "RAW: 10th Anniversary"]
Unforgiven (September 12, 2004)
Chris Jericho Vs. Christian - This Ladder Match was for the vacant Intercontinental Championship. Christian topped his previous match with Edge here as Christian and Jericho told a good story just like what HHH/Rock and Jericho/Benoit did. Brutal match where both Jericho and Christian takes a lot of hard bumps. 5/5
WrestleMania 21 (April 3, 2005)
Kane Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Christian Vs. Edge - This was the first Money In The Bank Ladder Match and to me it still holds the title as being the greatest MITB Ladder Match to date. Shelton Benjamin created his own highlight reel as he stole the show here. Benoit told a great story with his arm being injured and nearly winning the match with Edge becoming the "Ultimate Opportunist" character that we see from him today. Terrific match. 5/5
SummerSlam (August 21, 2005)
Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Mysterio - This was a great Ladder Match but the whole "Dominic Is My Son" storyline was just so stupid. A good Ladder Match where Eddie & Mysterio brought out some new innovative moves tot he match. Interferences from Vickie Guerrero & Dominic himself. Still a good match with the idiotic storyline. 4.5/5
Raw (October 3, 2005)
Matt Hardy Vs. Edge - This was a "Loser Leaves Town" Match as hardy and Edge ended their rivalry here. This was another great Ladder Match but just doesn't come up to par with their previous Ladder Matches with each other. But still another great match among the two Ladder Match veterans. 4.75/5
Raw (January 15, 2006)
WWE Champion Edge Vs. Ric Flair - The back story to this match was to display Flair can still take a beating along with Flair possibably winning the WWE Title in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Flair gets very bloody here but he held his own against the ladder match veteran Edge. Another good TLC Match thats worth a view. 4.5/5
Unforgiven (September 17, 2006)
WWE Champion Edge Vs. John Cena - I give props to Cena here. Being booed like crazy in Edge's hometown of Toronto and competing in Edge's match, Cena did an outstanding job. Both brought their best stuff and they deliver a fantastic TLC Match. 5/5
Raw (November 20, 2006)
Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy Vs. Johnny Nitro - This match gave Nitro the title "The Superstar On The Rise." This was Nitro's first Ladder Match and he did a wonderful job hanging in there toe to toe with Hardy. Another great match in their series. 4.5/5
Armageddon (December 17, 2006)
WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London & Brian Kendrick Vs. The Hardys Vs. William Regal & Dave Taylor Vs. MNM - We all know what the Hardys and MNM can bring to this type of match but they produced a great Ladder Match with the daredevils London and Kendrick with Regal and Taylor not quite being "a fish out of water" with their mat based style of wrestling. Joey Mercury takes one of the most violent & sick shots from the ladder which crushes the face of Joey Mercury just in seconds from being hit with it. Another fantastic and off the wall Ladder Match. 5/5
