It seemed written in the stars that someday Jeff Hardy would meet Edge in a one-on-one Ladder Match. The pair had turned heads during their earlier meetings - in tag-team scenarios - under the stipulation, and there was little doubt they could do the same themselves. Add in the caveat of CM Punk threatening to cash in his Money In The Bank privileges, and there was a lot of room for excellence. Meeting at Extreme Rules 2009, Edge and Hardy lived up to prior expectations by delivering an entirely gripping display of ladder-based nuttiness. It didn't really hamper proceedings that the match followed a slow-moving, seemingly never-ending Submission Match between John Cena and The Big Show. After that, Edge and Jeff could have played dominoes and the crowd would have reacted. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2mu4gx_wr-extreme-rules-2009-edge-c-vs-jeff-hardy-ladder-match-wh-championship_sport Cheerfully, neither man busted out the board games, instead they put on a clinic on how to put together watchable matches involving the legendary ladder which had helped them create goldmines for themselves. CM Punk would break hearts by cashing in just after Hardy had won the World Heavyweight Title, only adding to the moment, but that didn't take away from the Ladder Match itself.
