Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the better compilation DVD's by WWE.
HIGHLIGHTS
HBK vs Bret Hart
HBK vs Razor Ramon(Shawn Michaels gets suplexed out of the ring onto the security railing in this one. Unbelievable that he didn't get hurt)
HHH vs The Rock(One of the better matches on this disc. Ten years old and it still feels fresh. This IS the match that The Rock went over with the fans. MSG crowd cheered both but really gave Rocky his props when he hit the People's Elbow and Rock Bottom.)
Hardy's vs Edge/Christian(This is the match that started the phrase "pop." The crowd was really into this one and Jeff Hardy really shined in this one. All four of them must have been sore for a month.)
TLC 1,2(Too many high points in these matches to list. The second one is slightly longer.)
RVD vs Eddie Guererro(I remembered liking this match more when I first saw it on Raw. There are some botched stunts in this one and Eddie had some problems with the ladder at times but for TV it was a real treat.)
John Cena vs Edge(I really wanted to see this one when I bought this disc, didn't watch the PPV. Edge was champion in his hometown and was clearly emotional when he got to the ring. I really don't think his head was clear. Cena is obviously pissed at Edge towards the end of the match.
Cena took a chair shot to the head and when it was Edge's turn to re-pay the favor he really missed it. They were not on the same page in the second-half. Cena would have Edge knocked down outside the ring and would be heading back in the ring and Edge would just be laying there and Cena would have to putter up the ladder. It looked really bad, this happenend a couple times. But, there were some good table spots to save the day.)
Movie Review: 3 and half... but some great matches are not included on this.
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't think I need to bore you with another review of each match, there is enough to read around here already.
What I will say is that this focus' on only WWF/E matches, and one WCW match. The WCW did have some great matches with Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman which arenot anywhere to be seen here. They may not have been the best ladder matches of all time, but they where a lot better then the Undertaker VS Jeff Hardy match that has been included in this collection, which apart from the ladder being in the middle of the ring, it was hardly a great "ladder" match.
Also missing are the extreme ladder matches from the old ECW days. Perhaps Terry Funk pushing cactus jack off a ladder into a barbwire rope barricade and landmines was considered to violent for a WWE release? I think we would have enjoyed that match being included wouldn't we?
And I do not see why they did not include the first HBK vs Razor Ramon ladder match. It may not have been the first ever ladder match, but it's the match that really innovated the ladder match into the WWF, you only see a couple of highlights from it before the rematch they had that is shown on this dvd.
so, with matches missing, it can't be the perfect 5 star release.
Overall, the TLC matches are all included here, they are worth the price of purchase alone.
Movie Review: Ladder Match
Summary: 4 Stars
This three disc dvd set features a good combination of matches from the bret hart days to today. Despite the good variety of ladder matches, most wwe fans may not feel the need to really purchase this disc set since they probably already have most of the matches in this set. However, it is good to have a set with all the ladder matches together and to take a look back at wrestlers such as edge, the hardys, and hbk whose careers rose to superstar and ( in the case of shawn michaels ) even legendary status due in large part to the ladder match. This is a good disc set that any wrestling fan should check out.
