Armageddon Ladder Match gets my vote. Fun, crazy, the underdogs picked up the victory (not just booked underdogs, "holy fuck, how did those guys avoid the glass ceiling" underdogs). It had some great moments, and could easily be put on a Greatest Ladder Match/Greatest Tag Team Title Match DVD, and look like it fits.

Yes, Paul London & Brian Kendrick going over in the Ladder Match was the logical thing to do, but they were the fucking underdogs. It's like putting Jeff Hardy in an Elimination Chamber for the Intercontinental Championship. Give him Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena as opponents. Jeff Hardy is the only guy who fits the WWE Intercontinental Championship from that pack, so he makes the logical sense to go over, and in that sense it wouldn't be surprising. He's still the fucking underdog. The Armageddon Ladder Match was a mixture of classes. Paul London & Brian Kendrick are fucking cruiserweights. That should tell you something there. The Hardys have been main eventing RAW on occasion, as have MNM. To have that mix was a great idea. When the match itself was announced, it was pretty obvious London & Kendrick would retain, but no one in their right mind would have expected the match to happen. It's always been a pipe-dream, and then it happened. As I said, it was apples going over oranges in a match set up for the apples to win, so they could look like oranges. Paul London & Brian Kendrick gained something from the match, and ascended in the WWE ranks. That pretty much spells you out as the underdog. |

Gonna save Fignuts the trouble and say KENTA vs Mujifari.
I'm also going to nominate Bryan Danielson vs KENTA from Glory By Honor, Night 2. Incredible match. |

It was good but just not the blowaway MOTY everyone was expecting. Turning Point was better IMO. That's just me, though.

Yeah, when you're the champs for a long time and you're wrestling in an element suited to your style and the other teams either don't have a chance of winning or aren't even on your show, you're not the underdog.

The match was not touted as being suited to Paul London & Brian Kendrick's style. Michael Cole and JBL made it seem like The Hardys' match. London & Kendrick were teasing a split, and it's good to see the WWE came to their senses, but it wouldn't have surprised anyone to see Regal & Taylor take the belts. London & Kendrick were fighting guys that have been booked above them. The marks saw it that way, and as a smark, I found it refreshing to see London & Kendrick be given the chance to shine. It was probably the best case of the WWE elevating someone at all this year. Was it surprising to you, or Tovo to read that London & Kendrick retained? Probably not. But to marks it was. Was it surprising to see them take The Hardys, MNM, Regal & Talor on in a Ladder Match in the first place? Fuck yes. No one ever suspected London & Kendrick would be given that chance. |

Sorry mate, but I have to agree with Mag and TOVO here. I can see your point and it was a good match but calling them underdogs? Come on now, as soon as that ladder was added to the match, it was painfully obvious that the champs were going over.

Cena/RVD at One Night Stand also mostly because of the crowd fucking with Cena.

Foley/Edge at WM was good. Taker/Angle at No Way Out. A bunch more I can't think of.

Chris Benoit VS Booker T - No Way Out
Rob Van Dam VS Shelton Benjamin - Backlash F.B.I VS Tajiri & Super Crazy - One Night Stand Shelton Benjamin VS Carlito VS Johnny Nitro - Vengeance Obvisouly neither of them would make it, but they were awesome matches. |

Let us not forget Angle/Taker at NWO.
Money in the Bank at Mania should atleast be nominated as well. |

Kendrick and London rank as some of the worst champions of all-time. They are on a loser show with lots of shitty teams.

Super Crazy v. Guido (Velocity Internet Show)
Kenta v. Danielson was great too However, I guess I'm just going to go away from my usual type of voting and say...Edge/Foley WW22 |
