Battling out in a ladder match for the now-defunct ECW championship at TLC 2010, this encounter between two of the most underrated performers in WWE history was a kind of match today's spot fests aspire to be.

Fought with searing intensity and unreal aggression, Christian and Shelton Benjamin weaved magic in a criminally-underrated affair which has now become forgotten. The match was full of brutal spots and the pain was clearly visible on both Superstars. While Christian emerged as the eventual winner, Benjamin received a lot of plaudits for his performance that night.

The most memorable moment of the bout was when Christian was left hanging at the top by holding the hook on which the title was attached. Benjamin sensing the chance to deliver a powerbomb, pulled Captain Charisma down and smashed him brutally into the ladder covering one side of the ring.

While it's a little disappointing that these two Superstars never reached the heights their talents deserved, a match like this is an example of why they would always be fondly remembered by the fans.
