Ten years in the making, this match was billed as. These two men took the ladder match to places we'd never seen in the context of tag-team wrestling, but both went on to have main-event singles runs and clashed over the World Heavyweight Championship in 2009 - obviously, in a ladder match. Hardy endured an ugly fall into a collapsing ladder in the early exchanges, but Edge was sent with a front suplex into the ladder rungs as it sat upside down midway through. Skin-ripper, that one. Both guys were renowned for going extreme, and they went on to pull off a number of athletic and innovative moves throughout to keep the Universe guessing. The biggest spot of the encounter came as both crashed through a ladder (from a ladder) on the outside of the ring. Hardy went on to tie Edge's body up in the ladder's steps in the crucial moments, going on to win his first ever World Heavyweight Championship from his old adversary. It was a reign short-lived. CM Punk waltzed down after the final bell to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase, taking the gold from the new champion.
