2. Razor Ramon (c) v. Shawn Michaels (for the WWF Intercontinental Title, Wrestlemania X)
Over rated

[RP]

Number 25 should be much higher on this list dispite the fan interference and i personally liked the Ramon Vs Michaels ladder match as number one. I wish the Intercontinental title scene was as good as it was back then. Benjamin brings us hope tho.

[RP]

Number 9 should be lower. Too many missed spots. Still a great match tho . Could have been so much better if they didnt water both guys down.

[loopydate]

I disagree with Paul. It wasn't a spotfest like every other ladder match to follow. It was a good match that incorporated the ladder in ways that had never been seen before. The ladder was used to further the story, rather than as an excuse for a sick bump.

In my opinion, that's the best ladder match ever, because it's the best match of the group.

:y:


My favortire part of that match wasnt even the match. It was when Scott Hall walked under the ladder. I was like " :D "

[Chavo Classic]

HBK and Ramon was the best because it was the original. Ok maybe not the original... but it set the tone for all ladder matches to follow. It set the bar and was the measuring stick for every ladder match afterwards.

It's like the first christmas you remember, that one was always the best one. :D

[Savio]

Think if a match like that happend now?

[NoRoolz]

Sure now it wouldn't be seen as so awesome. But you have to remember this was in 1994, it was a different story then, just imagine you'd never seen a ladder involved in a wrestling match before, then HBK/Ramon do some spots with it you've never seen - you'd mark out, as most people would. Like loopydate said the match itself was good too and it wasn't all about high-spots.

I agree with you though, if that match happened now it would be seen as a :| match, but then it was a :drool: match.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is number 5 the finals of the Terri Inviational Tournament (T.I.T.) between Edge and Christian and The Hardy Boyz? This match catapulted both of them into serious noteriety and also set the standard for what would be expected in a ladder match from then on.

[Corndad]

I thought the TLC that Kane won would be on there, might just be missing it but other then agree with the list.

Yeah it is that finales of the Terri Invitational Tournament, I just felt like listing it as it was billed going into No Mercy 1999, where The Hardy Boyz were "The New Brood" led by Gangre.

Kane (c) v. Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley v. Chris Jericho & Christian v. Jeff Hardy & Rob Van Dam (TLC for the WWE World Tag Team Title, Raw 10-7-02)

That's what your talking about, and no I didn't forget it in fact if this were the Top 26 Ladder Matches of All-Time it would have been there, but unfortunatly it didn't make the cut.

[Marcyo]

Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy was good.

[Loose Cannon]

Good List

I would include Dynamite/Bret from Stampede on mine and put HHH/Rock as #1

[John la Rock]

^

yes LC Rock/HHH is definaeltly # 1 on my list. such an amazing story

[Fox]

The first TLC at WrestleMania X-7 should be higher. In my view, it easily outdid the Summerslam match earlier that year.

RVD/Eddie should be much, much higher than 25, and Jeff vs. Undertaker should be on there somewhere too. Any match that makes me believe Jeff Hardy might win the Undisputed WWE Title ought to make some sort of list.

Good List

I never saw it so I couldn't really judge it, but with Dynamite Kid and Bret Hart it must be good.

[Flair1672]

Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy was the worst ladder match ive ever seen.

[Shadow]

Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy was the worst ladder match ive ever seen.

You're kidding me right?

*steps down from the Jeff Hardy Fanboi soapbox for a moment*

First off, the build-up to the match was fantastic. It really showed people just how far those two men could go in the weeks leading up to this thing. Second off, Undertaker, a man not known for doing these type of matches, actually managed to pull off a credible match.

*gets back on the soapbox*

And third off, Jeff Hardy came like 2 inches from becomeing the Undisputed Championship and was giving major props by the Undertaker. Fuck you if you say this is the worst ladder match you've ever seen.

[James Steele]

You lost ALL credibility (or what credibility you had) when you typed "Fanboi".

:nono:
