Throw any six performers of note in a ladder match, and a measure of excitement is guaranteed. This is why WWE has cannibalised and rendered a blur the multi-man genre in the years since.
But this awesome version doesn’t live in the memory because it was among the first; it does so because it boasted as much story and character as lunatic bumps and furniture-destroying Holy Sh*t moments. The Hardy Boyz took absurd risks in an ill-fated attempt to grab gold; Edge and Christian picked their spots to pick the bones; both teams were interrupted in their dance by the grounded work of the elementally brutal Dudley Boyz.
Boasting awesome cameos from Lita and Spike Dudley, piling carnage on carnage, this was innovative and exciting as hell.
