WWE: The Ladder Match

One Of The Most Innovative Matches Of All Time
It's amazing how a simple concept for a match (climb up a ladder & grab the belt) has spawn so many memorable moments in the history of professional wrestling and WWE picked out a wonderful collection of matches here to illistrate how the ladder match has spawn off so many memorable to classic moments in wrestling & was also the catalist for so many versions of this match including TLC, Stairway To Hell in ECW, and King Of The Mountain in TNA.

North American Champion Jake Roberts vs. Big Daddy Ritter (Junkyard Dog) - This was joined in progress and it was using a one sided ladder with the referees holding it steady while the wrestlers climbed up. Nothing special past the historical factor.

Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - Two years before the more famous ladder match between Shawn & Razor Ramon would happen at WrestleMania, the very first ladder match in WWE history happened here. Both men went away from their...

WWE FANS...YOU CAN'T MISS THIS ONE!!!
This is, without a doubt, one of the best WWE videos I've ever owned, and I've been buying them since 1990! Every match is shown in it's entirety, including wrestler entrances. You'll get to see old school classics like HBK vs Bret Hart from July 1992, HBK vs Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) at SummerSlam 1995, and Rock vs Triple H at SummerSlam 1998.

You also get some of the best TLC matches with Edge & Christian, The Dudleyz, and The Hardyz. They even included recent matches like the first Money in the Bank from Wrestlemania 21 and Edge vs John Cena at Unforgiven 2006.

So they basically included every classic ladder match from the mid-70's to the present time, except for matches that we've all seen a million times (like HBK vs Razor Ramon from Wrestlemania 10). I think there are 21 total matches. This video is less than $20 but I probably would have paid triple that amount, because the quality of the matches on this DVD is simply outstanding. THIS IS A MUST BUY...

You'll never get bored with this dvd
I pre-ordered this a while back and somehow got it in the mail yesterday, 3 days before its release date. Lucky me, hell we're all lucky to see all these matches. For me personally, it was a chance to see the classics (like the TLC's), matches I haven't seen in years (Smackdown's TLC, RVD vs.Guerrero), and matches I've never seen period (4 way tag team match at Armegeddon, Benoit v. Jericho at Royal Rumble).

I've seen maybe half of all the matches so far, and I'm constantly picking my jaw up off the floor. So many highlights, I won't even bother to go into detail. Clearly, the is THE best dvd has ever put out, bar none.

My only gripe is the very first match, Jake Roberts (he's not even "The Snake" yet) v. Big Daddy Ritter (aka, Junkyard Dog). It's probably on here for nostalgia, to see these guys early in their career. Not a fun match, watch it once, then pretend it never happened. One of the funnier things I noticed on the Shawn Michaels/Razor Ramon match is an...
