Match 8 - Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudley Boyz (Champions) (Tag Team Championships) (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match)
Trending
When I started this feature, I decided to be quite miserly with my star ratings, wanting them to, ultimately, be as prestigious as the Meltzer ratings we have all grown up using as a reference point. That went out of the window once I watched this match.
I couldn’t possibly give this bout anything less that 10/10. It’s superb. The trust and chemistry between the three biggest tag-teams of the noughties was, and still is, unparalleled and leads to some truly unforgettable moments.
From Jeff Hardy performing a Swanton Bomb from a ladder onto two bodies below him, to Christian have the Dudley-Dog performed from inside the ring to the outside area, to Matt and Bubba Ray Dudley’s insane fall from atop the tallest ladder to the stack of tables below.
Of course, the most incredible spot of the match, and of the night, fell to Jeff Hardy and Edge. A vulnerable Jeff was dangling from the title as Edge ascended the ladder next to him and 'Speared' him from a height of what must have been 30 feet (if it wasn’t it looked it!)
Even the addition of Spike, Lita and Rhyno added more to the match, and each of them performed their relevant parts admirably! It is a match the company, or it’s fanbase will never see again, due to the sheer heights that these six men were willing to take this match. An outstanding flawless match!
Dave Meltzer Rating: 4.75/5
