00:00:04,503 --> 00:00:05,304 Oh. 4 00:00:05,304 --> 00:00:06,138 Oh. 5 00:00:07,239 --> 00:00:08,473 The ladder match. 6 00:00:08,473 --> 00:00:11,843 One of WWE's most brutal and death-defying spectacles. 7 00:00:12,777 --> 00:00:14,011 Anything goes. 8 00:00:14,011 --> 00:00:15,379 No pitfalls or submissions. 9 00:00:15,379 --> 00:00:16,647 And there's the prize hanging 10 00:00:16,647 --> 00:00:17,948 in the center of the ring. 11 00:00:19,449 --> 00:00:20,483 In this match, competitors must climb rung 12 00:00:20,483 --> 00:00:23,085 by rung to retrieve their ultimate prize. 13 00:00:23,453 --> 00:00:24,287 Zack's got the title. 14 00:00:24,287 --> 00:00:25,454 Zack wins the championship. 15 00:00:26,521 --> 00:00:28,957 But be careful, because the long way down to the canvas 16 00:00:28,957 --> 00:00:30,325 is more than precarious. 17 00:00:31,859 --> 00:00:32,860 Look at the carnage, it's absolutely stimulating. 18 00:00:34,361 --> 00:00:35,396 Today, we look back at some of the best ladder 19 00:00:35,396 --> 00:00:36,997 matches in WWE history. 20 00:00:37,897 --> 00:00:40,867 This is WWE's Greatest Moments. 21 00:00:42,268 --> 00:00:43,735 Please, for the love of God. 22 00:00:43,735 --> 00:00:44,870 Oh, my God. 23 00:00:46,772 --> 00:00:48,407 If you smell- 24 00:00:48,407 --> 00:00:49,274 Oh, my God. 25 00:00:49,274 --> 00:00:50,408 What the hell are you doing? 26 00:00:51,676 --> 00:00:53,511 Absolutely unbelievable. 27 00:00:53,511 --> 00:00:55,612 Hulkamania is here. 28 00:01:03,385 --> 00:01:04,653 {\an8}Welcome to WWE's Greatest Moments. 29 00:01:04,653 --> 00:01:05,988 {\an8}I'm Michael Cole. 30 00:01:05,988 --> 00:01:07,889 {\an8}And on this edition, we're looking back at the wildest and 31 00:01:07,889 --> 00:01:11,993 {\an8}most memorable ladder matches in WWE history. 32 00:01:11,993 --> 00:01:13,194 It's real simple. 33 00:01:13,194 --> 00:01:15,963 You get the ladder, you climb it, and you are the man. 34 00:01:17,431 --> 00:01:19,433 The ladder matches origins can be traced 35 00:01:19,433 --> 00:01:22,034 back to Stampede Wrestling in the 1970s. 36 00:01:22,802 --> 00:01:25,238 A promotion founded by the legendary Stu Hart. 37 00:01:26,671 --> 00:01:28,406 It's called a ladder match, yes, sir. 38 00:01:29,674 --> 00:01:31,809 Stu's son, Bret, would compete in several ladder 39 00:01:31,809 --> 00:01:33,444 matches within Stampede Wrestling. 40 00:01:34,078 --> 00:01:36,313 And when he ultimately arrived in WWE, 41 00:01:36,313 --> 00:01:39,082 he would bring the unique match type with him. 42 00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:44,119 In 1992, WWE would have its first-ever ladder match. 43 00:01:44,953 --> 00:01:47,623 Bret Hart would take on "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels 44 00:01:47,623 --> 00:01:50,558 with The Hitman's Intercontinental Championship 45 00:01:50,558 --> 00:01:52,593 suspended high above the canvas. 46 00:01:56,563 --> 00:01:58,265 {\an8}What a matchup this is going to be. 47 00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:01,101 {\an8}The only thing that counts is get on that ladder, 48 00:02:01,101 --> 00:02:04,103 climb up to the very top, and get the belt. 49 00:02:05,237 --> 00:02:06,672 For that moment in time, 50 00:02:06,672 --> 00:02:07,906 {\an8}it was fantastic. 51 00:02:07,906 --> 00:02:10,241 {\an8}I thought it was monumental, Bret and I going out there 52 00:02:10,241 --> 00:02:11,276 and doing that match. 53 00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:13,944 Shawn Michaels would love nothing 54 00:02:14,044 --> 00:02:16,713 better than to get his hands on the intercontinental title. 55 00:02:17,481 --> 00:02:18,882 Wow, what a last-minute save. 56 00:02:20,783 --> 00:02:21,951 Pretty cool how easy the match 57 00:02:21,951 --> 00:02:23,586 was to sell to the fans. 58 00:02:23,586 --> 00:02:25,188 {\an8}They understood right away. 59 00:02:25,188 --> 00:02:27,189 {\an8}It actually turned out to be a pretty good match. 60 00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:30,559 Talk about unusual matches. 61 00:02:31,026 --> 00:02:33,160 We've got them for you right here. 62 00:02:33,861 --> 00:02:35,496 It was the opportunity for us. 63 00:02:35,496 --> 00:02:38,264 Personally, I think the first time everybody might have 64 00:02:38,264 --> 00:02:40,600 looked at me as the guy that could carry the main event. 65 00:02:41,668 --> 00:02:43,369 Oh, look at that. 66 00:02:44,136 --> 00:02:46,338 Michaels, he's down outside the ring. 67 00:02:47,139 --> 00:02:48,140 Now he can get it. 68 00:02:48,140 --> 00:02:49,540 Yes. 69 00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:54,579 It was just the right time, 70 00:02:54,579 --> 00:02:56,746 and the right audience, and the right night and everything. 71 00:02:56,746 --> 00:02:58,215 You know, it was always one of my-my great matches 72 00:02:58,215 --> 00:02:59,382 that I was most proud of. 73 00:03:00,984 --> 00:03:03,018 Everyone certainly will remember this 74 00:03:03,018 --> 00:03:06,055 ladder match for quite some time to come. 75 00:03:08,189 --> 00:03:10,458 Perhaps no superstar has showcased greater 76 00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:13,027 resilience in the face of adversity than the unpredictable 77 00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,261 Mick Foley. 78 00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:15,529 Not for a split second 79 00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,664 did I think about calling it quits. 80 00:03:18,132 --> 00:03:20,900 In 1999, Foley, as his fiendish alter-ego 81 00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:24,737 Mankind, was the WWE Champion, and embroiled in one of the most 82 00:03:24,737 --> 00:03:28,673 heated rivalries in WWE history, with "The Great One" The Rock. 83 00:03:29,407 --> 00:03:32,943 Mankind, The Rock plans on making 84 00:03:32,943 --> 00:03:34,411 your death wish come true. 85 00:03:35,246 --> 00:03:37,281 Mankind and The Rock could come to blows one 86 00:03:37,281 --> 00:03:39,816 more time in a hard-hitting ladder match on Raw. 87 00:03:43,186 --> 00:03:45,053 {\an8}Mankind, Rock, WWE title. 88 00:03:46,054 --> 00:03:47,523 {\an8}Ladder match, climb the ladder, 89 00:03:47,523 --> 00:03:50,925 take the championship belt down, you win the title. 90 00:03:50,925 --> 00:03:52,093 {\an8}You didn't get a chance to see 91 00:03:52,093 --> 00:03:54,128 {\an8}a ladder match on Raw all that often. 92 00:03:54,128 --> 00:03:55,896 It was a really unique situation that had everybody watching 93 00:03:55,896 --> 00:03:57,497 at the edge of their seat. 94 00:03:59,766 --> 00:04:01,034 This one won't be pretty. 95 00:04:01,034 --> 00:04:03,335 Both of these men have dished out a tremendous amount of 96 00:04:03,335 --> 00:04:06,539 punishment against each other in recent weeks. 97 00:04:07,772 --> 00:04:09,440 Rock, suplex on the steel ramp. 98 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,909 {\an8}I was pretty banged up, 99 00:04:10,909 --> 00:04:12,377 {\an8}but we still had a good match. 100 00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:14,778 {\an8}Like, we couldn't help it, we had the chemistry there. 101 00:04:14,778 --> 00:04:16,480 Oh, my God. 102 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,582 Oh, no. 103 00:04:18,582 --> 00:04:20,249 Man, oh man, look out. 104 00:04:21,417 --> 00:04:23,519 {\an8}Mick was always wanting to do something that was 105 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:26,121 going to be great for the match, great for you, 106 00:04:26,121 --> 00:04:27,122 and great for him. 107 00:04:28,356 --> 00:04:31,659 {\an8}His whole run with Rock was so entertaining. 108 00:04:31,659 --> 00:04:34,762 {\an8}Mankind delivers Mr. Elbow. 109 00:04:35,296 --> 00:04:36,931 {\an8}The rivalry that I had with Mick Foley, 110 00:04:36,931 --> 00:04:38,565 {\an8}uh, was very special. 111 00:04:38,565 --> 00:04:40,567 That was one of the most incredible nights 112 00:04:40,567 --> 00:04:41,734 I have ever had. 113 00:04:43,136 --> 00:04:44,770 Mankind is tied up in the ropes. 114 00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:47,239 And The Rock climbing the ladder. 115 00:04:47,873 --> 00:04:49,741 The Rock has the championship belt. 116 00:04:50,441 --> 00:04:52,243 It was a really physical match. 117 00:04:52,243 --> 00:04:54,846 I'd be hurting for quite a while after that. 118 00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:58,715 {\an8}Mick Foley would do anything for the audience. 119 00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:01,450 He had everybody's respect. 120 00:05:01,450 --> 00:05:02,718 That may be as good 121 00:05:02,718 --> 00:05:04,854 as I've ever seen right there. 122 00:05:04,854 --> 00:05:07,889 There is no daredevil in WWE history quite 123 00:05:07,889 --> 00:05:11,459 like "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy. 124 00:05:11,926 --> 00:05:13,393 Oh, God. 125 00:05:13,393 --> 00:05:15,162 Over the course of his career, the audacious 126 00:05:15,162 --> 00:05:17,931 superstar established himself as the master of the ladder match. 127 00:05:18,866 --> 00:05:21,501 Perilous and jaw-dropping stunts aplenty. 128 00:05:21,501 --> 00:05:22,835 Swanton Bomb. 129 00:05:22,835 --> 00:05:24,237 Goodnight. 130 00:05:24,237 --> 00:05:25,971 But while Hardy impressed with his courageous 131 00:05:25,971 --> 00:05:29,074 offense, there was always an opportunist ready to strike. 132 00:05:29,074 --> 00:05:31,842 "The Rated-R Superstar" Edge proved he was no slouch 133 00:05:31,842 --> 00:05:33,744 when it came to ladder matches. 134 00:05:33,744 --> 00:05:36,647 Oftentimes doing anything it takes to reach glory. 135 00:05:37,647 --> 00:05:40,216 Jeff Hardy is not World Heavyweight 136 00:05:40,216 --> 00:05:41,584 Championship material. 137 00:05:43,153 --> 00:05:45,587 {\an8}At Extreme Rules 2009, these two would collide 138 00:05:45,587 --> 00:05:48,290 {\an8}for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship. 139 00:05:50,591 --> 00:05:52,960 {\an8}Two greatest ladder match competitors 140 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,996 {\an8}are about to square off for the first time ever one-on-one 141 00:05:54,996 --> 00:05:56,863 {\an8}in this environment. 142 00:05:56,863 --> 00:05:57,931 We knew it was going to be violent, 143 00:05:59,066 --> 00:06:00,867 {\an8}but it was going to be something people didn't forget. 144 00:06:00,867 --> 00:06:03,469 These ladders are just not going to give. 145 00:06:03,469 --> 00:06:05,471 Jeff Hardy willing to crash and burn, 146 00:06:05,471 --> 00:06:09,774 willing to climb higher, fall further than any opponent. 147 00:06:09,774 --> 00:06:12,110 The world loves an underdog story. 148 00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:13,544 When I think about that match, 149 00:06:13,544 --> 00:06:14,745 I always think about 150 00:06:14,745 --> 00:06:17,514 us falling off the ladder, breaking another ladder. 151 00:06:17,514 --> 00:06:18,882 Oh, God, no. 152 00:06:18,882 --> 00:06:19,916 The ladder. 153 00:06:19,916 --> 00:06:21,684 Oh, my God. 154 00:06:22,185 --> 00:06:23,753 Bodies and ladders are broken. 155 00:06:26,321 --> 00:06:27,355 Oh, look at this. 156 00:06:27,355 --> 00:06:28,990 Edge pulled between the rungs of the ladder. 157 00:06:30,358 --> 00:06:31,859 {\an8}When Edge was trapped in the ladder, it was-- 158 00:06:31,859 --> 00:06:33,461 {\an8}it was kind of genius. 159 00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:34,795 Hardy's climbing. 160 00:06:34,795 --> 00:06:35,696 Edge is hung up. 161 00:06:35,696 --> 00:06:36,497 He can't move. 162 00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:37,397 Hardy's climbing. 163 00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:38,031 Jeff Hardy. 164 00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:40,700 Winning the world title as a singles competitor. 165 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,736 Part of me wants to say that's my favorite moment of all time. 166 00:06:44,303 --> 00:06:46,004 The Hardy party has started. 167 00:06:48,807 --> 00:06:49,607 {\an8}Two must-see athletes of the early 2000s were 168 00:06:49,774 --> 00:06:54,112 {\an8}undoubtedly Rob Van Dam and Eddie Guerrero. 169 00:06:54,112 --> 00:06:57,347 RVD and Latino Heat took WWE by storm. 170 00:06:57,347 --> 00:06:59,916 I am gonna show you, ese, 171 00:06:59,916 --> 00:07:02,818 who is the better wrestler. 172 00:07:02,818 --> 00:07:05,221 Their greatest asset may have been their 173 00:07:05,221 --> 00:07:07,255 show-stopping, big-match performances. 174 00:07:07,255 --> 00:07:09,691 No contest proves this sentiment greater than Van Dam and 175 00:07:09,691 --> 00:07:12,894 Guerrero's battle on a 2002 episode of Raw 176 00:07:12,894 --> 00:07:14,862 for the Intercontinental Championship. 177 00:07:15,896 --> 00:07:18,532 A ladder match is extremely dangerous. 178 00:07:18,532 --> 00:07:21,634 For the Intercontinental Championship, it's worth it. 179 00:07:24,937 --> 00:07:26,605 {\an8}The intercontinental

276 00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:43,235 {\an8}Triple H, backed by D-Generation X, 277 00:10:43,235 --> 00:10:45,904 and "The People's Champ" The Rock, 278 00:10:45,904 --> 00:10:48,574 with the Nation of Domination in tow, were in a heated rivalry 279 00:10:48,574 --> 00:10:50,508 over the Intercontinental Championship. 280 00:10:51,676 --> 00:10:55,579 The Rock is the best damn Intercontinental Champ 281 00:10:55,579 --> 00:10:56,913 there ever was. 282 00:10:57,748 --> 00:11:00,350 Rock, you wanna bring ladders into the ring? 283 00:11:00,350 --> 00:11:02,852 Let's bring the ladder to Madison Square Garden 284 00:11:02,852 --> 00:11:04,987 and let's see who the real man is, Rock. 285 00:11:09,257 --> 00:11:12,060 {\an8}The Rock, the Intercontinental Champion, 286 00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:16,096 {\an8}and Triple H compete in a ladder match. 287 00:11:16,096 --> 00:11:19,565 The intercontinental title was a title that was very, 288 00:11:19,565 --> 00:11:23,302 {\an8}very important to the both of us, to me and Hunter. 289 00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,171 Both of us wanted that belt, both of us wanted that spot. 290 00:11:26,171 --> 00:11:28,340 Two of the great young athletes are gonna 291 00:11:28,340 --> 00:11:29,541 strut their stuff here. 292 00:11:32,443 --> 00:11:35,012 There was no competition in pro wrestling 293 00:11:35,012 --> 00:11:38,782 {\an8}that rivaled The Rock and Triple H at that time. 294 00:11:39,315 --> 00:11:40,350 I don't think I've ever seen 295 00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:42,218 any more intense competition. 296 00:11:42,886 --> 00:11:44,620 {\an8}They were literally fighting to see who 297 00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:47,790 {\an8}was gonna be the guy in this company. 298 00:11:49,424 --> 00:11:50,458 We wanted to be the best at all times, 299 00:11:50,458 --> 00:11:52,694 {\an8}and I think that just pushed us to being better. 300 00:11:53,728 --> 00:11:55,495 Triple H, can he find it? 301 00:11:55,896 --> 00:11:56,830 Yes. 302 00:11:56,830 --> 00:11:57,764 He did it. 303 00:11:58,565 --> 00:11:59,333 He did it. 304 00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:00,434 Triple H did it. 305 00:12:02,201 --> 00:12:03,736 It was our big moment. 306 00:12:03,736 --> 00:12:05,137 That certainly was one of the most outstanding 307 00:12:05,137 --> 00:12:06,739 ladder matches. 308 00:12:07,238 --> 00:12:09,007 Putting that match on at an event as big as 309 00:12:09,007 --> 00:12:13,277 SummerSlam, it projected both of us into that main event tier. 310 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,981 The Undertaker is without question one of the 311 00:12:17,981 --> 00:12:20,850 greatest superstars in WWE history. 312 00:12:20,850 --> 00:12:25,287 The Undertaker is the WWE Undisputed Champion. 313 00:12:25,287 --> 00:12:27,289 And while the American Badass found 314 00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:29,925 unparalleled success in most match types, 315 00:12:29,925 --> 00:12:32,326 he had never competed in a ladder match. 316 00:12:32,326 --> 00:12:37,764 But during his Undisputed WWE Championship reign in 2002, The 317 00:12:37,764 --> 00:12:39,733 Undertaker would tread into uncharted territory. 318 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,402 That little punk, Jeff Hardy, when I leave that 319 00:12:42,402 --> 00:12:44,636 ring tonight, he won't be able to stand up. 320 00:12:45,404 --> 00:12:47,306 On Monday Night Raw, he would defend his title 321 00:12:47,306 --> 00:12:49,674 against one of the greatest ladder match performers 322 00:12:49,674 --> 00:12:52,043 in WWE history, Jeff Hardy. 323 00:12:56,913 --> 00:12:58,715 {\an8}The younger talent was very intimidated working 324 00:12:58,715 --> 00:13:01,917 {\an8}with me because they were watching me 325 00:13:01,917 --> 00:13:03,352 {\an8}when they were kids. 326 00:13:03,352 --> 00:13:06,489 Jeff Hardy giving up size and strength and power. 327 00:13:06,489 --> 00:13:08,957 {\an8}It was such a beautiful story of the underdog 328 00:13:08,957 --> 00:13:10,158 versus the legend. 329 00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:16,196 Man, I beat him like he owed me money. 330 00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:17,731 Whoa. 331 00:13:17,731 --> 00:13:19,332 Oh, no, no. 332 00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:21,000

00:13:28,840 The biggest story of that match is to never give 336 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,875 up because I kept getting up. 337 00:13:30,875 --> 00:13:32,810 Look out. 338 00:13:32,810 -->

my favorite things about that match 353 00:13:57,898 --> 00:13:59,900 is me saying at the end-- 354 00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:01,567 I'm still standing. 355 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:06,138 Kind of just get

358 00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:13,143 from The Undertaker. 359 00:14:16,513 --> 00:14:19,182 In 2024, Undisputed WWE Champion, 360 00:14:19,182 --> 00:14:21,351 Cody Rhodes, was in the midst of the greatest run 361 00:14:21,351 --> 00:14:23,820 of his professional wrestling career. 362 00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:26,621 But Rhodes' dream year would become a nightmare when 363 00:14:26,621 --> 00:14:29,558 he was brutally attacked and temporarily sidelined 364 00:14:29,558 --> 00:14:32,660 by the dangerous and uncontrollable Kevin Owens. 365 00:14:33,227 --> 00:14:34,028 Oh. 366

00:14:39,232 --> 00:14:41,668 And Owens did just that, stealing the championship from 370 00:14:41,668 --> 00:14:44,470 Cody Rhodes, who in retro form was defending 371 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:46,171

00:15:05,287 with both titles suspended high above the ring. 378 00:15:10,625 --> 00:15:12,893 {\an8}Indianapolis wants to see these two beat 379 00:15:12,893 --> 00:15:14,194 {\an8}the hell out of each other. 380 00:15:15,362 --> 00:15:17,398 {\an8}The Winged Eagle title is a big deal 381 00:15:17,398 --> 00:15:19,666 {\an8}to fans and to wrestlers. 382 00:15:19,666 --> 00:15:21,868 So, me walking around with that title, Cody walking around 383 00:15:21,868 --> 00:15:24,370 with his version of the title just led to a perfect storm 384 00:15:24,370 --> 00:15:25,537 for the ladder match. 385 00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:28,707 They promised to punish one another here tonight. 386 00:15:29,241 --> 00:15:31,208 Just having ladders as part of it too is 387 00:15:31,208 --> 00:15:33,511 obviously going to add another level of intensity and risk and 388 00:15:33,511 --> 00:15:35,913 more ways for us to hurt each other. 389 00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:38,848 I had seen ladder matches before, 390 00:15:38,848 --> 00:15:41,818 but never to the extent like those two used it. 391 00:15:42,785 --> 00:15:44,019 He's taking a beating tonight. 392 00:15:45,054 --> 00:15:47,690 {\an8}There's gonna be those matches that require you 393 00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:49,657 {\an8}to do something that scares you to death. 394 00:15:51,125 --> 00:15:53,461 Bone versus steel, 395 00:15:53,461 --> 00:15:55,562 there's only ever one winner. 396 00:15:57,698 --> 00:15:58,799 Nothing more real than that. 397 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,702 Alabama Slam. 398 00:16:03,235 --> 00:16:05,137 Exploding throughmthe ladder. 399 00:16:05,805 --> 00:16:07,973 Kevin Owens turned inside out. 400 00:16:09,140 --> 00:16:10,842 Cody Rhodes is near the top. 401 00:16:11,443 --> 00:16:13,377 I reveled in that moment. 402 00:16:13,844 --> 00:16:16,146 One title, Rhodes takes down another. 403 00:16:17,247 --> 00:16:18,282 Cody Rhodes wins. 404 00:16:19,515 --> 00:16:21,084 An unbelievable battle, 405 00:16:21,084 --> 00:16:23,319 an incredible win for the American Nightmare. 406 00:16:26,521 --> 00:16:27,322 {\an8}In the late 1990s, 407 00:16:27,456 --> 00:16:29,925 {\an8}the WWE tag team division was on fire. 408 00:16:29,925 --> 00:16:33,928 But no two teams broke out stronger than the death-defying 409 00:16:33,928 --> 00:16:38,131 Hardy Boyz and the cerebral Edge and Christian. 410 00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:41,001 These tandems would naturally lock horns, eager to establish 411 00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:43,235 themselves as the top team on the totem pole. 412 00:16:43,235 --> 00:16:45,070 Oh, my God. 413 00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,505 Oh. 414 00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:48,806 And at No Mercy 1999, the Hardys and Edge 415 00:16:48,806 --> 00:16:51,542 and Christian would look to settle their score 416 00:16:51,542 --> 00:16:53,244 in the first-ever tag team ladder match. 417 00:16:56,613 --> 00:16:58,682 {\an8}The first team to climb the ladders and get the 418 00:16:58,682 --> 00:17:02,184 {\an8}bag hanging from the top is the winner of the $100,000. 419 00:17:02,184 --> 00:17:03,686 Whenever people ask us, 420 00:17:03,686 --> 00:17:06,788 {\an8}who is your favorite opponents in the ring as a tag team, 421 00:17:06,788 --> 00:17:08,156 {\an8}it's always Edge and Christian. 422 00:17:08,156 --> 00:17:09,591 Oh. 423 00:17:09,591 --> 00:17:10,992 My God, a dropkick. 424 00:17:10,992 --> 00:17:12,427 {\an8}This is gonna get interesting, because if they 425 00:17:12,427 --> 00:17:13,961 {\an8}think that's something, 426 00:17:14,828 --> 00:17:16,563 we've got a lot more in store. 427 00:17:16,563 --> 00:17:18,798 I've got a feeling we're gonna see 428 00:17:18,798 --> 00:17:20,066 it all in this match, JR. 429 00:17:20,066 --> 00:17:21,367 These guys are gonna do everything 430 00:17:21,367 --> 00:17:23,670 in their power to get that money. 431 00:17:23,670 --> 00:17:26,805 {\an8}That was the moment that we became the ladder 432 00:17:26,805 --> 00:17:29,274 competitors in wrestling matches. 433 00:17:29,741 --> 00:17:30,608 Look out. 434 00:17:30,608 --> 00:17:31,509 Look at this. 435 00:17:31,509 --> 00:17:32,476 Oh. 436 00:17:32,476 --> 00:17:33,778 What the heck? 437 00:17:33,778 --> 00:17:36,347 Jeff Hardy, the ladder teetering. 438 00:17:37,113 --> 00:17:37,781 He can't get-- 439 00:17:37,781 --> 00:17:38,581 He got it. 440 00:17:39,482 --> 00:17:40,350 God Almighty. 441 00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:42,185 The Hardys have won the match. 442 00:17:42,185 --> 00:17:44,586 Christian and Edge have nothing to be ashamed of. 443 00:17:44,586 --> 00:17:46,388 What a magnificent effort by those two. 444 00:17:46,388 --> 00:17:49,324 We'd never received a standing ovation before. 445 00:17:49,324 --> 00:17:50,992 Oh, it blew me away. 446 00:17:52,293 --> 00:17:54,095 It was a defining point for all four of us, 447 00:17:54,095 --> 00:17:56,997 because we all went from WWE wrestlers to WWE Superstars. 448 00:17:57,731 --> 00:17:59,733 What an amazing display. 449 00:18:01,634 --> 00:18:04,236 We've now reached our number one moment, 450 00:18:04,236 --> 00:18:07,138 and buckle your seat belts because it's about to get bumpy. 451 00:18:07,138 --> 00:18:10,976 By the mid 1990s, a new generation of WWE Superstars 452 00:18:10,976 --> 00:18:13,877 that had merged in the direction of sports entertainment was 453 00:18:13,877 --> 00:18:17,581 heading towards showcasing technical skill in the ring. 454 00:18:17,581 --> 00:18:20,350 Two massive contributors of this new generation were 455 00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:22,518 "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels 456 00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:25,320 and "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon. 457 00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:27,589 Say hello to Razor Ramon. 458 00:18:29,024 --> 00:18:30,891 In late 1993, HBK was stripped of the 459 00:18:30,891 --> 00:18:33,928 Intercontinental Championship, and Ramon would win 460 00:18:33,928 --> 00:18:34,962 the vacant title. 461 00:18:36,130 --> 00:18:38,064 Yet, the combative Michaels refused to acknowledge 462 00:18:38,064 --> 00:18:39,666 the Bad Guy as the true champion. 463 00:18:40,333 --> 00:18:42,102 The World Wrestling-- 464 00:18:42,102 --> 00:18:45,304 Intercontinental Champion is back in town. 465 00:18:46,272 --> 00:18:48,506 Challenged him to a ladder match at the 466 00:18:48,506 --> 00:18:50,908 historic WrestleMania X. 467 00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:54,112 All titles would be suspended high above Madison Square Garden 468 00:18:54,112 --> 00:18:56,780 and only one superstar would walk away 469 00:18:56,780 --> 00:18:59,516 as the rightful Intercontinental Champion. 470 00:19:02,752 --> 00:19:04,153 {\an8}For first time ever at a WrestleMania, 471 00:19:04,153 --> 00:19:06,454 {\an8}a ladder match. 472 00:19:06,988 --> 00:19:08,256 We were confident that even if things went wrong, 473 00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:10,492 {\an8}we'd still tear t he house down. 474 00:19:11,426 --> 00:19:14,028 Scott was a very talented wrestler, 475 00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:17,097 {\an8}and Shawn could have a great match with a broomstick. 476 00:19:17,097 --> 00:19:18,631 Shawn's not using the ladder 477 00:19:18,631 --> 00:19:19,699 to get the belt. 478 00:19:19,699 --> 00:19:21,367 He's using it to destroy Razor Ramon. 479 00:19:22,535 --> 00:19:24,736 {\an8}It may be the best ladder match. 480 00:19:24,736 --> 00:19:28,140 Shawn Michaels from high above. 481 00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:29,508 Oh. 482 00:19:29,508 --> 00:19:30,741 Oh. 483 00:19:30,741 --> 00:19:32,076 {\an8}You don't know that that's going 484 00:19:32,076 --> 00:19:33,210 to be a picture that-- 485 00:19:33,210 --> 00:19:35,012 that's going to be showing forever. 486 00:19:35,012 --> 00:19:37,013 It took my showbiz to another level when 487 00:19:37,013 --> 00:19:39,316 you get to walk out, you know, you're crawling up the ladder 488 00:19:39,316 --> 00:19:41,051 and, you know, it's just-- 489 00:19:41,051 --> 00:19:42,851 to do it with a guy who's a dear friend. 490 00:19:43,585 --> 00:19:45,187 Yes, yes, yes, yeah. 491 00:19:46,288 --> 00:19:48,290 We were young and having no idea 492 00:19:48,290 --> 00:19:50,925 that it was going to be some monumental thing 493 00:19:50,925 --> 00:19:52,627 from that point forward. 494 00:19:53,561 --> 00:19:54,795 I mean, it was one of the best matches. 495 00:19:54,795 --> 00:19:59,499 They set the bar for what a ladder match would become. 496 00:20:00,433 --> 00:20:01,667 {\an8}That may have been the greatest thing 497 00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:02,702 {\an8}I've ever seen. 498 00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:06,438 Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon defined 499 00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:08,773 what the ladder match could be on that night, 500 00:20:08,773 --> 00:20:12,643 laying the foundation to one of WWE's most iconic matches. 501 00:20:12,643 --> 00:20:15,312 {\an8}To this day, the ladder match is one of the most exciting and 502 00:20:15,312 --> 00:20:18,848 {\an8}innovative matches audiences can witness. 503 00:20:18,848 --> 00:20:20,249 {\an8}Well, that'll do it for this edition 504 00:20:20,249 --> 00:20:22,218 {\an8}of WWE's Greatest Moments. 505 00:20:22,218 --> 00:20:25,120 {\an8}We hope you enjoyed this look back at some of the best ladder 506 00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:27,089 {\an8}matches in WWE history. 40531
