10 most memorable moments in Summerslam history

#5 Bubba Ray Dudley falls through three tables

The meaning of the word extreme.

undoubtedly one of the most memorable matches in Summerslam history is the first ever TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) match involving Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudleys. We all knew what the three teams were capable of having watched their iconic ladder match at Wrestlemania 2000, but the six men somehow managed to raise the bar even higher at Summerslam.

The feud involving the teams lasted over two years and put tag-team wrestling very much back on the map as far as WWE was concerned. Edge and Christian came away with the victory at Summerslam, but the result was almost irrelevant. When we think back to this match, and the ladder matches at Mania 16 and 17 either side of it, we rarely think about who won and instead concentrate on many of the great spots involved.

It is difficult to pick out just one moment from this match. In fact, you could probably put all the spots together in a top 10 list of their own. One moment that does stick out, however, is the triple table incident involving Bubba Ray Dudley.

Just as Bubba was atop the ladder, looking like he was about to win the match for his team, fans were instantly reminded that to the left of the screen, three tables had been placed on top of each other. We all knew something big was going to happen concerning them, and the minute Edge and Christian began pushing the ladder over, we knew who would be taking the bump.

Dudley came crashing down, breaking through the top two tables to the sound of JR screaming 'OH MY GOD' at the top of his voice. This almost summed up the carnage that became a staple of the Attitude Era programming for the WWF and gave us so much respect for all six men involved.
