5 Extreme weapons used in WWE Extreme Rules matches

#3 Ladder

Jeff Hardy vs. Edge featured lots of risky ladder moments

Unlike a decade or two ago, WWE fans have now seen so many ladder matches in their wrestling-watching lifetime that it’s difficult for a one-on-one ladder match to truly meet expectations these days.

However, Jeff Hardy and Edge succeeded in meeting, and exceeding, expectations when they headlined the inaugural Extreme Rules PPV in 2009, with Jeff emerging with the win before quickly losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Money In The Bank holder CM Punk.

The match featured plenty of exciting moments, but the one extreme use of a weapon that really stood out came relatively early on in the match when Jeff balanced a ladder upside down against the ropes and slammed Edge’s body against it with a front-first suplex (01:14 on the video below).
