At WWE WrestleMania 2000, the match of the night was unquestionably the Triangle Ladder Match where Edge and Christian defeated The Hardy Boyz and The Dudleys to win their first WWE Tag Team Championships. Over the course of the next few months, these three teams would mix it up using their particular weapons of choice.

The Hardy Boyz were defined by their extraordinary high flying off of ladders, while the Dudleys truly got over by putting their adversaries through tables. Edge and Christian countered their two rival teams by using steel chairs and inventing the Con-Chair-to. This forced WWE Commissioner Mick Foley to make a rematch with the three teams in a new gimmick match called Tables, Ladders and Chairs.

At WWE Summerslam 2000, the first ever TLC Match set the bar incredibly high in a heart-stopping, high octane contest that amazed the fans in Raleigh, North Carolina. Matt and Jeff Hardy once again produced innovative offense with their use of ladders, including an even taller ladder in which Jeff did a Swanton Bomb off of. The Dudleys brought the brutality, smashing their opponents through tables.

Edge and Christian proved to be the perfect foils for their opponents yet again. They always seemed to be one step ahead of their rivals and used steel chairs to gain control over both the Hardys and Dudleys. The insane ending, where both Jeff Hardy and D-Von Dudley hung off from the WWE Tag Team Titles above the ring, was intense and led to Edge and Christian winning this crazy battle.

The TLC Match would become one of the staple stipulations in the WWE moving forward. These three teams put on an even better encounter months later at WrestleMania X-7, but they somehow were able to improve upon their star making performances at WrestleMania 2000 here. The fact that the TLC Match has now become a yearly pay-per-view shows you how impactful this first contest was.
