[10.0] "This changed the course of the company, benefitted it a lot in the future. I have watched it like 5-6 times but never bored me. Edge's spear, tables, Lita, Rhyno, peak TLC!"
[5.0] "I love spotfest wrestling bit hardcore and not and that is infact the point of matches like this. So this being said if I was watching this with 2001 eyes it would be seen as great top level match, but watching in modern eyes this has been bypassed as a spots fest match. Be stuff like cage of death matches or Death dome matches or even the is better Crazy Crusher vs. Hell Storm is better spot fest so a better ladder natch and that what matters. Any hardcore style match be it fmw, Big japan WWE or any promotion."
[5.0] "The biggest issue with modern TLC or ladder matches is that wrestlers prioritize spots and spectacle over internal logic. I don't have a problem with spotfests, but I do have a problem with matches like this where wrestlers have numerous opportunities to grab the belts yet either ignore them, set up a flashy spot instead or position the ladders so they can't be used to actually win. The first TLC match at SummerSlam did a far better job of conveying desperation. Despite some flaws, the teams tried to win the belts and all the bumps, selling and teamwork felt much crazier and more surprising. In contrast, this WrestleMania 17 match feels like everyone is just trying to outdo themselves and it comes across as forced. Even the audience seemed more energized at SummerSlam. Here, they're all waiting for the familiar bumps whereas the first TLC match had counters and moves that felt less pre-planned and more organic so the people were going wild the whole time. The match improves when Spike, Lita, and Rhyno interfere because for the first time, all teams genuinely convey the struggle of working hard for the gold. But the ending comes out of nowhere with no exciting buildup, which is disappointing. Bubba Dudley in particular is absolutely obnoxious throughout the match. The way he sells and literally throws himself off the ladder in that one spot for example was terrible and made me want to smash my TV. I did have fun overall and didn't get bored. That's my biggest praise for the match. Edge and Christian were the smartest team in-ring, but ultimately the match is massively overrated in my opinion. By comparison, the TLC match we had on this year's post-WrestleMania 17 SmackDown between DIY, MCMG and the Street Profits was infinitely better. You might ask why? Well the answer is very simple: its superior psychology and in-ring storytelling"
[10.0] "What can you say about this match that hasn't been said already? As far as I'm concerned this is the greatest ladder match of any kind, bar none. It's absolutely bonkers at how much they were able to get into this match in just 15 minutes. Younger fans who weren't old enough to see this when it happened may not understand the impact that this match had on the industry. So many of these spots had never been seen or done before. I normally hate outside interference, but even that added to the match for the better. These guys sold like crazy for each other, and yet, wasted very little time. I'm not sure a match like this could ever be replicated. Incredible job by all those involved."
[10.0] "This match is definitely the best in TLC history in my opinion and is one of the top two with ladders. This match simply couldn't be bad. It had everything we love about wrestling. The participants didn't give up and used their bodies like dummies for the audience's enjoyment. The chemistry between everyone and the choice of venues for the match were simply superb: Dudley with tables, Hardy with ladders, and Edge and Christian with chairs.There were so many legendary moments in this match.Absolute cinema!"
[9.0] "Standing on Matt's balls was diabolical from Edge and Christian. And I found it funny how D'Von completely missed the headbutt early on in the match. I didn't know from all I have heard of this match how much interference happened. Honestly if Jeff was able to pull off the tightrope spot, it would have made the great spot 100x cooler."
[9.0] "The match started with the Dudleys in control before the Hardys fought back, only for Edge & Christian to knock everyone out with ladders. Matt Hardy attempted a climb but was clotheslined by Edge; Jeff dropkicked him, and the Dudleys were taken out with double baseball slide dropkicks. Matt & Jeff isolated Christian with a leg drop/splash combo off ladders, and the Dudleys hit the Whassup Drop on Edge. D-Von got the tables, and Bubba powerbombed Jeff through one with Edge on top. All six men climbed simultaneously, but Christian took the worst fall to the floor. Spike Dudley and Rhyno ran in to hit signature moves, including the GORE! GORE! GORE! on Matt, setting up Edge to climb again. Lita interfered, but the Dudleys hit a 3D on her. Jeff then hit a Swanton from a massive ladder through two tables, one of the most insane bumps ever. The finish saw Christian lifted by Rhyno to grab the belts, giving Edge & Christian the win. This was an all-time classic ladder match; athletic, painful, insane, and perfectly executed. The addition of Spike, Rhyno, and Lita added chaos without overwhelming the core storytelling. Every bump, from Jeff's Swanton through two tables to the ladder spear from Edge, left the crowd in awe. Even after three triangle ladder matches, they found new ways to shock the audience. Christian and Edge showed incredible resilience, and the match cemented itself as one of the most brutal and memorable ladder matches in WWE history. ****1/2"
[9.0] "An insane spotfest that had some truly incredible moments, though I thought the finish was a little anticlimactic. Everyone put on solid performances but I feel that The Dudley's somewhat got lost in the shuffle and felt almost underutilized. It was fun to see someone come out and try to help all three teams with Lita, Rhyno & Spike all having cool spots also getting in on the crazy bumps. The spot of the match to me was the picture perfect Spear Jeff Hardy takes from midair that I honestly don't think could have been done any better. This had to have been the match of the night and I liked E&C going over. No less than 4 stars."
[7.0] "Very overrated , the match is a chaos without an impact , The match have like 3 or 4 spots ? JUST LIKE THAT ? and a souless Ending , I expected a lot more than this, the lenth was right for some real chaos and a lot of action but I didn't feel the match reached what I wanted it to. ***1/2"
"This is the first wrestling match I remember watching as a child- it very distinctly stuck in my mind given the incredibly dangerous high-spots. I watched it back very recently as I go back through the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression eras of WWF/E, and I find it even better than I remembered. The incredible depth of work on display here: amazing coordination between the three teams, oddly symbolic representation of the identities of the three teams by way of their weapons of choice (and, distinct strengths and weaknesses with each of the others' sets of tools), and the blending of their three distinct styles ebbing and flowing throughout the match. There is no definite point where you know which of the three teams will win, even to the very last table spot (set up less than halfway into the match) . The entire match is like some homicidal mad dash to the finish for each group, and they execute it basically to perfection. It's a show stealing match with some of the most incredible work of this time period. An absolute classic."
[10.0] "This match is the match that I constantly rewatch as a kid, one of the match that got me into wrestling, rewatching this again as an adult, it's just as amazing as I remember."
[9.0] "(9.3) One of the best Mania matches to date. Non stop action from start to finish, ridiculous spots scattered throughout, could have been an all timer if the ending wasn't so sudden."
[10.0] "If WMx7 is the best Mania ever, this match is without question the biggest reason why. An unofficial adios to the Attitude Era and welcome to the Invasion, these six with assistance from Lita, Spike & Rhyno put on arguably the greatest spectacle of all time. The conclusion to their trilogy of ladder matches, it somehow topped the previous WrestleMania and TLC I at Summerslam. Matt & Christian took underrated bumps that are forgotten because of the insane bumps Jeff Hardy took"
[10.0] "It's just an unbelievable match and just like they did at WrestleMania and SummerSlam last year, these six just put everything on the line in another car crash spectacle that had bigger bumps than either of those matches. The spot Christian takes probably gets underrated there they had the set up with the three ladders toppling over and he takes a painful looking spill where he's tipped off the ladder and nothing breaks the fall where he crashes straight to the outside. Lita, Spike and Rhyno all get involved in the match and Rhyno in particular is like a wrecking ball as people take spill left and right when he's in there and he sends Bubba and Matt flying through the four tables off the rampway off the really tall ladder and they just explode under them with very little give. Of course Jeff takes the biggest spot where he's dangling high in the air and Edge spears him. Its just an unbelievably dangerous spot."
[9.0] "It might sound strange, but this match didn't connect with me very well. I know, maybe I'm the wrong one, this is rated 9.59 right now in the moment I'm typing, impossible for me be the right one, but some small details bothered me a lot. Like, why the hell we had so many interferences? The match ifself is perfect, no question, but like, why he had Rhyno, Spike Dudley, Lita, like, I felt this was so unnecessary man lmao. DON'T GET ME WRONG, again, I love interferences and when they're properly executed, I pop so much for them. Sadly, was not the case. We can't deny greatness, of course. The Spear Edge did on Hardy might be the best spot of all time and I'm not even joking, Bubba and Matt being throwed into the pile of tables was nasty, they both look like dead bodys when they fall, everything related JUST for spots, in my opinion, was awesome. Sad that this didn't clicked on me."
[9.0] "An entertaining match, three tag teams that changed the history of tag teams of those years and those to come. Incredible spots, hilarious moments combined with extremes. Edge's spear to Jeff Hardy is something many have tried to imitate, and to this day, we're still waiting for something better. But we all know that none will ever match the original, which features in this match."
[10.0] "Easily the match of the night. This smokes Rock vs Austin later in the night. Just a complete car crash and inspiration to tag team wrestling."
[10.0] "Easily one of my favourite match of all time. So many innovative spots. All that at the biggest stage possible, incredible. Everyone involved made it happen and made it perfect. Even the "botch" looked real. Nothing much needs to be said, 10/10. Can't be duplicated!"
[9.0] "An iconic wrestling car crash, this holds up impressively well, even after countless attempts at a modern replica. That speaks to the match's creativity as well as its sheer guts, risking life and limb in the name of a sequel-worthy spectacle. In truth though, those ingredients have occasionally been matched in the near-25 years since, but I don't know if this incarnation's charm has been. There is so much personality to this match, particularly with the rotating run-ins. That dynamic allows for a theatre beyond the stunts themselves, an excitement still rooted in genuine investment. As these matches swing bigger and bigger, that sense of soul and spirit is all the more striking. ****1/2"
[9.0] "shortest 20 min of my life, it starts fast and never stops until it ends. the match is a spotfest but it understands that and does the job pefectly, all the spots are crazy, everybody has their moment, the pace of the fight is frenetic with no rests, the camera angles and replays are perfect, its all i asked out of 20 min of people going through tables and using big ass ladders. also the match is very technical, there are barely any mistskes even with all the complex spots going on and the tension is great through the match, anything can happen, anyone could win. my only gripes is the ok ending (it wasnt tense to see who was going to win since seeing both cristian, rhino and edge it was obv they were going to win) and that the match didnt have an extremely interesting storyline attached to it extremely fun 9, 5/10"
[9.0] "A very good and exciting spot filled match. Some absolutely insane bumps are taken during this bout. This match helped elevate TLC and tag teams and for good reason."
[10.0] "The peak of tag team wrestling. A spotfest as it 100% should be. Jeff's biggest match and my favorite spot of all time by Edge. Historic, a match that no one will come close, ever."
[10.0] "Bubba Ray Dudley & D-Von Dudley vs. Christian & Edge vs. Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy ist wohl eins der prägendsten Matches der Geschichte meiner Meinung nach. Was die Wrestler hier für Risiken eingehen ist einfach nur unglaublich und wird man heute zu Tage nicht nochmal sehen. Auch wenn nicht alles rund ging ist es ein unglaubliches Match (*****)."
[10.0] "it's as good as everyone says it is. it's one of the greatest spotfests of all time. lita kicks ass. rhyno is a beast. spike's spot is insane. it's called by paul heyman and jim ross. peak ****3/4"
[10.0] "One of the all time greatest tag team matches, this match had it all. From Rhyno appearing to Spike Dudley hitting some wild moves on Edge and Christian to Lita hitting a hurricarana on Bubba Ray, this had every aspect of a wild match. Everyone involved was being put through tables, getting hit with chairs, being pushed off ladders, it was the definition of a spot-fest, but i was all for it. Not one second of this match left me uninterested or bored, a pure Wrestlemania classic."
[10.0] "One of the defining matches of the attitude era, and all three teams were on fire at this point in their careers too. There will never be another TLC match like this!"
[10.0] "The only problem I have is rhyno helping edge and christian in the end but since it's a no dq match so I don't complain about it. This match was the epitome of car crash spotfest. Everyone being involved had something to do in the match. and the edge spearing Hardy from the 20 feet of the ground is still the highlight of the century."
[10.0] "this is the best match in all these guys career. And i think i can say that very confidently. Just this entire match is just one big moment from bell to bell this is insanity. Without this match wrestling history is changed. 4.50 stars"
[6.0] "A lot of bumps and a great atmosphere, but this truly is a spotfest without any real conductor or emotional thread, and in 2025 a spotfest from 20+ years ago can't fully hold up with the crazy shit they i can see nowadays in the same kind of match. Still good."
[10.0] "This is one of the matches that's defines my childhood and my love of wrestling. Made tag team wrestling relevant again and made hall of fame careers of everyone."
[10.0] "My favorite wrestling match ever. Could watch it 1000 times over and never get bored. Pure car crash wrestling where something's happening everywhere you look. And the atmosphere of it all feels so grandiose with the Astrodome in the background and the early 2000's WWF vibe. Just the best thing ever and it can never be replicated."
[9.0] "[4.5*] One of my favorite WWE matches ever, obviously. This match is just insane. The third TLC match between these 3 teams (I know the first one was a Triangle Ladder) was also the best of them while every single one was fucking phenomenal, holy shit. Of course we have the two most famous spots of Edge spearing Hardy from the ladder while he is hanging on the belts and the classic Swanton Bomb from the ladder to the tables, which he already tried on the SummerSlam 2000 match but he failed. This match actually has A LOT of other crazy and insane spots and I appreciate that even if they looked similar to the major spots on the other matches, there was always something different and unique. All three participations of Rhyno, Lita and Spike Dudley were amazing and these type of interferences are the best ones, they define the Attitude Era. I popped a lot for the 3D on Lita too, lol. These guys put their lives on the line and Christian had a scary bump from the ladder. This whole trilogy was a piece of history that changed Tag Team Wrestling forever."
[10.0] "Still the very best TLC match to this day. They changed the game that night and stole the show. X-7 is considered to be the GOAT of manias, and they had the best outing of the night! That's something to take pride in."
[9.0] "While I'm not as high on this match as many people are (I actually prefer the TLC from Summerslam 2000), I cannot deny how fun it is to watch. It really is nonstop action from the moment the bell rings, and the fact that most of the exceedingly dangerous spot were executed perfectly in a testament to all six participants. All of the run-ins by Spike Dudley, Rhyno, and Lita only enhanced the chaotic feeling, as did the crowd going nuts for absolutely everything. While there were a few botches (Jeff's ladder run being the most notable), none of them were bad enough to really derail the match's momentum and, if anything, made things appear more dangerous and exciting than they already were. I also thought the finish was a tad abrupt; while I understand matches like this can't realistically go thirty minutes, the finish still felt lacking in drama and intensity compared to the rest of the bout. Still, this is a match that lives up to its reputation and could be enjoyed by basically anyone regardless of their interest in pro-wrestling. ****1/4"
[9.0] "This might the greatest version of this match genre, the tag team plunder spotfest. Unbelievable action displayed by these teams which did a way better job on improving from the Summerslam match. This was the best of the pure triology and these men are gonna always be remembered for these matches and while they may have done more or better work this will be the "magnum opus" of their tag work for all of them. The spots were innovative and it built on the previous spot. The inclusions of their "thirds" were fun too and added a bit more to the chaos. Also shout out JR saying Big Daddy Dudley should have practiced safe sex. ****1/2"
[9.0] "Standard brawl to start. They get in some double teams and some good spots with E&C on matt in the corner. Edge jumps off the chair to clothesline Matt off the ladder. Jeff jumps off matt's back to hit Edge off the ladder. Double baseball slide to the Dudleys outside holding the ladder. Christian gets hit with a tandem move by the Hardy's off the ladder. Dudleys hit Edge with the Headbutt to the groin. D'von and Bubba get the tables in, Edge is on the table and Bubba powerbombs Jeff Hardy onto him and through the table. Bubba just fucking levels Matt with a ladder. They set up 3 ladders in the middle of the ring and all the guys climb up to the top of the ladders. Everyone falls off, Christian takes the worst of it and falls directly to the outside. Spike Dudley comes in and sends Christian through a table in a cool spot. Rhyno comes in and hits a couple of Gores and sends Matt through a table from a gore in the corner. Lita comes in to stop Edge. Rhyno goes after her but Spike Dudley hits him with a low blow and Lita hits him with a hurricanrana, Spike dudley hits Rhyno with a chair shot and he sends Edge into the top rope from the Ladder. Dudleyville Device on Rhyno, Lita hits Spike with a chair, takes off her shirt for some reason, and then gets hit with a 3D, Edge hits the Dudleys with a chair. Jeff Hardy gets up on the 14 foot laadder and does a senton to rhyno and spike dudley through the tables on the ground. Edge gets the big ladder up and Christian and Dvon climb up it, Matt gets rid of the ladder and they hang on, Dvon falls, and Christian eventually falls too. Jeff Hardy climbs up on the ladders and walks across them and falls, spot didn't work. Jeff holds onto the ladder and moves it as Edge climbs up , they get him to swing and Edge spears him from the ladder. Really awesome spot. Matt and Bubba Ray go up and then fly through a bunch of tables at ringside after Rhyno pushes the ladder. Dvon is held by Edge as Christina is pushed up by Rhyno to grab the belts. Meh finish to that spot, and too much involvement of the thirds to be truly great, but man what awesome spots all over this match. Really does live up to the hype in terms of awesome shit, one of the best wrestlemania matches for sure."
[9.0] "Wish I could give half ratings because this is realistically a 9.5/10 to me. There were just a couple of slightly awkward spots but theyre barely memorable in comparison to the complete and utter carnage of the rest of the match."
[9.0] "Easily the greatest TLC match of all time. All three of these teams proved how good they truly are and why tag team wrestling is some of the best wrestling of all time. E&C were the right winners but The Dudleyz and The Hardyz put on a fantastic showing."
[10.0] "[*****] Complete. Chaos. It's probably a top 5-10 match in pro wrestling ever. From Edge clotheslining people off the ladder, Bubba power bombing Jeff on Edge through a table, D'Von doing the headbutt off the ladder, all three teams going on ladders to all of them falling off, Spike Dudley showing up and throwing Christian through a table, Rhyno coming back to take a ladder through the Dudley Boyz, Gore Matt Hardy through a table, Lita coming back to take out Rhyno with a hurricanrana, Edge falling off the ladder to low blow himself on the ropes, Dudleys 3D Lita, to like five chair shots happening in 5 seconds, to JEFF DOING A SWANTON OFF A LADDER TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A TABLE! And none of those were part of the most legendary spot in WWE history. This so far was some of the most perfectly encapsulated story driven insane wrestling I've watched. Edge then sets up 3 ladders in the ring to try and get the titles, but then Christian and D'Von were hanging off the titles in midair. Knowing How D'Von was afraid of heights made it a bit funnier. Jeff then fails the tightrope ladder spot and goes to get the title, but then he hangs on....UNTIL EDGE SPEARS HIM OFF THE TITLES 20FT DOWN? How much more could anyone else take? THEN RHYNO PUSHES A LADDER SENDING MATT AND BUBBA THROUGH THE 4-STACKED TABLE COMPLEX? Edge and Christian then win the titles, repeating from Summerslam at TLC 1. This feud between the 3 teams is what made tag team wrestling so cool and so important in the industry. This was so fun, the Hardyz taking so much brunt of action, Bubba and D'Von setting up all those spots, and Christian and Edge being part of some of the most popular spots ever. So fucking awesome."
[10.0] "THE match which defined the way of booking ladder stuff drama. A lot of intereferences which helped to get things more spicy, even if no everything landed perfectly (Jeff's trial to go through the ladders to take off the titles). Edge's spear became legendary, same as Matt and Bubba's one of the most brutal spots ever happened in main stream wrestling scene."
"A really fantastic match. In my opinion, this is my favorite match from WrestleMania X7. From the time the bell rings, its 100% through the whole match."
[9.0] "The Best TLC Match of all time. You have the Hardy's, The Dudley's & Edge & Christian just kill each other for 15 minutes. It was Chaos you had Lita, rhino and spike getting involved it was amazing. What most remember the match from is where Edge Speared Jeff Hardy Dangling 20 Feet in the air which ended up becoming the most famous spot of all time"
[10.0] "All three tag teams involved took what made both their ladder match from WWF WrestleMania 16/2000 (2000) and first ever TLC match from WWF SummerSlam (2000) complete masterclasses and took it all to the highest of heights making it an absolute masterpiece. Everything about this match is just god tier with all the action and spots, most of them being the most iconic in wrestling to this day and this was what made WWF WrestleMania 17 (2001) both the best WrestleMania and wrestling show of all time."
[10.0] "This was my first time watching this match since 2001, and I've gotta say it's a hell of a lot different watching it as an adult than a teenager. The carnage that these men (and Lita) put themselves through here was just painful to watch. At the same time, this is still considered one of the best (if not the best) TLC/ladder matches of all time for a reason. This was just nonstop action from the opening bell, with loads of memorable spots like Jeff Hardy's swanton bomb from the 20 ft ladder through a table outside of the ring, to Edge's ridiculous spear while Hardy was hanging from the belts. I was tempted to dock it a point due to the interference, but it actually added to the match. This still holds up today as a gold standard for this type of match. *****"
[10.0] "This was an incredibly chaotic, high-risk match filled with non-stop action. Each team delivered jaw-dropping, dangerous spots involving ladders, tables, and chairs. The stunts were extreme, especially Jeff Hardys Swanton Bomb off a ladder and Edges famous spear on Hardy mid-air. The action kept the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish and the physical risk involved was enormous, with several stunts that could have resulted in serious injury. Each team played their role well, and the storytelling in the ring was masterfully done."
"I dont believe tag team wrestling ever reached the heights of this match again. All the teams were on fire. The attitude was running wild. They became the bar to reach. This match made tag team wrestling cool."
[10.0] "The pinnacle of what a TLC match should be. You have arguably three of the best tag teams in wrestling history going at it, in a match that suited all three teams styles. It's an absolute classic match, full of great spots, just a superb three way tag team TLC match. There's no getting better than this, people can try... but I don't think this will ever be topped. What happened in this match was pure magic that can never be replicated again. I'd even go as far to say WM17 had two matches that stole the show, this and the Austin/Rock match. It's hard to say which one was better, as they offered different things... but that is an absolutely massive compliment to this match, as it really does rival the Austin/Rock match in regards to being the match of the night."
[10.0] "An absolute timeless classic. The Summerslam 2000 one is truly incredible but I think this is the most memorable ladder/TLC match of all time. When I think of this stipulation, this is the match I think of. Just unbelievable stuff. Edge spearing Hardy off the titles will never not feel ridiculous, like something straight out of a video game."
[10.0] "This is the match that got to watch wrestling and why I love it so much, shout-out to the WWE Ladder Match DVD that would rent from Hollywood Video and watch with my brother."
"My favourite match of the three. Considered by many to be the best of the three matches, TLC II at WrestleMania X-Seven was not only the culmination of the rivalry between the three teams, but also one of the best matches in the history of WrestleMania and WWE in general. Combat analysis: Culmination and apotheosis: This match was the culmination of everything the three teams had built in the last year. The level of brutality, the creativity in the spots and the execution were impeccable. All the fighters involved understood the importance of the moment, and they gave their all in the ring. Interference and Chaos: The involvement of Rhyno (for Edge and Christian), Spike Dudley (for the Dudleys) and Lita (for the Hardys) added an additional layer of chaos, with interference intensifying the drama and unpredictability of the match. Iconic moments: Perhaps the most memorable moment was Edge's Spear to Jeff Hardy in full flight from the top of a ladder, one of the most iconic spots in WrestleMania history. The fight was full of similar moments that left the audience on the edge of their seats. Legacy: TLC II is considered the pinnacle of the TLC stipulation, a match that not only met expectations, but raised them to an almost insurmountable level. It is a benchmark in the history of ladder matches and in the careers of all those involved. Conclusion: TLC II is a fight that transcended its time. It is the standard by which all future ladder matches would be measured, and marked the end of a golden era for the tag team division in WWE. 9, 75/10"
[9.0] "(****1/2) This match is revolutionary for the right reasons, it created one of the most known match types, and everyone played a role in this match, that spear from Edge to Hardy looked so clean, but for some odd reason it just doesn't scream 5 stars, I get this match changed WWE, but if it went a little one this match could get 5 stars."
[10.0] "There was a lot of hardcore-type stuff on this show, and this match stood out. There were a lot of big matches on this card, and this one stole the spotlight. There have been 28 by my count TLC matches in WWE to date, and this is the gold standard. There have been thousands of insane wrestling bumps, and this match features one of the most iconic. Everything is so perfectly executed, from the chemistry of these three teams to how they each have a run-in, and how the concept came together because each team had a favorite weapon, and how Edge and Christian as the spineless heels won the first two TLC matches and the Triangle Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000. D-von dangling from the cable again! Even the spots that did not work, like The Frogger as Jeff calls it, end up working (as a fan, you think man, if that ladder did not tip over, the Hardy Boyz would have won). And everything was sold well and done with urgency."
[8.0] "Brutal match, can't help but feel it was a bit short? I would've liked more buildup to the crazy spots, but, those spots are all still crazy. Just a great gritty match"
[10.0] "The absolute representation of a classic, with three iconic tag-teams going spot for spot in an absolute bat-sh** match that has wrestling fans jumping from their seats anytime they go back and watch it. It just has so many instant classic spots that will never be forgotten including the swanton bomb off of a 20-foot ladder, the spear off the ladder onto Jeff Hardy hanging above the ring, Rhyno interfering, Lita interfering. This is 100% a match you should show someone if they ever show interest in watching wrestling."
[8.0] "There are a ton of fun and iconic spots in this match but the interference is way too much. Rhino shouldn't be shining more than someone like Matt Hardy or D-Von. Crazy spots and fun action (and obviously a pioneer) but not enough shine on the guys actually in the match."
[10.0] "The definition of an all time classic. Al kinda of crazy spots and bumps and memorable moments and all three teams had someone to interfere for them."
[10.0] "Holy shit is right. Perfect timing from everyone in this match, iconic spots including the spear to Jeff Hardy. There's just so much going on, but it all feels really cohesive, like there's truly one story in this match and they don't stray away from it. Whether it be the group run-ins, the 4 tables, the Swanton Bomb off the 20 foot latter or Rhyno interfering to win Edge and Christian the titles, truly a brilliant showing from all 9 people in this match."
[10.0] "It's amazing how the moves of everyone were perfectly synchronized, like they were ready for this match for so long, probably the best TLC Match of all WrestleManias, full of spots and moments that made me feel like I was watching something of ECW, moments like the Spear of Edge to Jeff Hardy, the Swanton Bomb of Jeff to Rhyno on the table, Christian and Bubba falling over the tables one over the other, a match that was a complete tribute to ECW, 10/10 and this one deserved and still 23 years later still deserves 5 stars so my stars rating is [******]"
[9.0] "This is one of the best matches I have ever seem. Some insane spots from everyone involved, the ending was the only part I could have any complaints about."
[7.0] "Jumping from spot to spot, this match uses all of its time wisely. Everything is flawless timing wise, and the run-in spots from each of the teams is done very well. The camera work of this match leaves much to be desired, but this match is more than 20 years old at this point, so I can let it pass. Legendary match, and it still holds up today, at least to a point. 3.75 Stars."
[10.0] "One of the greatest matches of all time, what this match has that modern spot fests don't have is a genuine sense of menace and danger. These teams want to destroy each other, they manage to constantly keep the sense that this is a battle not just a collection of risky high spots. The tables seem harder, the ladders are taller, there's constant head chair shots, even now knowing nothing bad happened it gives you a constant sensation that something could go horribly wrong and that's terribly thrilling. I disagree with the notion modern ladder matches have overtaken this in terms of spots, edges spear to Jeff Hardy still is more spectacular then anything I've seen the young bucks do and the final spot with bubba and matt going through the tables together still might be the most dangerous spot I've seen cause if there heads hit there dead"
[10.0] "Absolute, nonstop, MAYHEM. This is the peak of the spot fest. Ive seen this one a few times and I personally preferred the Summerslam match to this one, but upon another rewatch, this is the superior match. Everyone eats total shit in this match. The run-ins were super fun essentially turning this into a 3v3v3. The spots in this match.my god theyre all so good. The spear from the ladder is iconic and one of the most replayed moments of all time, the Swanton Bomb through the tables is highly underrated, and my personal favorite, Bubba Ray and Matt flying off a ladder through four tables. One of the most clean and well executed spots of all time. The end is maybe a bit sudden with Rhyno just hoisting up Christian who pulls them down, but I dont even care. This is just 6 of the all time best tag performers giving us the most enjoyable car wreck of all time. Also, Lita takes off her shirt which is the cherry on top. I can definitely see why this is one of the most influential matches in history."
[10.0] "Awesome, awesome match. That for good and for bad, inspired a lot of wrestlers. If you hate high spots then you probably hate it. But I always end up going back to this one."
[10.0] "One of the best wrestling matches of WWE and of professional wrestling in general. It's total chaos but in a good way there were so many crazy spots that make this match legendary. Definitely a 10/10 match."
[3.0] "Ugh, it doesn't differ at all from their SummerSlam garbage apart from the fact that this time we have three more people involved, which is kinda irritaiting since they're involved throughout the whole match. Once again they care more about setting up the furniture for their spots instead of going for the belts and they run out of the ideas so quickly that the finish is just flat with the crowd barely noticing that E&C won the match."
[6.0] "On rewatch this match is worse than I remember. Maybe too much of a spotfest in the sense that theres nothing that surrounds the spots. On your first watch this isn't so bad as you don't know what going to happen but this seriously hurts rewatches of this match. This match is still decent in spite of this."
[10.0] "A match worthy of its legendary status. Holds up all these years later a car crash of a match but in a good way. Starts off pretty slow but as it keeps going the spots get crazier the spots get more risky and it just climaxes in a great way. Legendary 5/5"
[10.0] "Legendary match, not better than their first WM tlc match though. This is one of the best ladder matches of any kind in history, and one of the pioneering tlc matches between these three great teams. Three super memorable spots in this one, culminating with that spear you see in video packages all the time. It and the original wm match get pushed up to a 10 due to historical significance."
[10.0] "I can't help but give this the highest rating possible. Everyone here looked absolutely incredible, with anyone deserving of getting those titles. All the table spots were incredible. The ladder spots were incredible. The spear in mid air was awesome. The swanton from Jeff Hardy was beautiful. The double table spot was shocking. Even the interference for each team was good fun, and added a more interesting dynamic to the match. My personal pick for WreslteMania X7."
[10.0] "WrestleMania 17 is widely regarded as the best PPV the E has ever put out for mass consumption and this match is one of the reasons why. All six individuals are at the top of their game and the spots you've seen a trillion times are just as magical as they were the first. Yes E&C winning all three TLC tag matches was a bit disappointing but with a match this majestic, it's barely a blemish on this show. CHECK OUT ASAP!"
[8.0] "Crazy match. They jump from one high-risk move to another like chewing candy. Jeff Hardy was his usual insane self in the match. The beginning was quite okay, but the match really picks up after the arrival of Spike, Rhyno, and Lita. They're as important to this match as the three teams participating. In fact, Rhyno might as well be the star of the show here. He came out looking the most credible, and orchestrated the crucial spots. My favorite spots overall were Spike's dudley dog to Christian through the table outside, the 3D on Lita, and Rhyno's gore to Jeff through the table. It doesn't quite stand the test of time like most of these types of matches. But for its time, it was a classic. Brutal and innovative. Four stars and a quarter."
[9.0] "As usual from this 6 this is absolutely wild, full of the craziest and innovative spots ever done, while having interferences that somehow helped the match to become even better, when you get three of the best tag teams ever you get something like this"
[10.0] "This is the first wrestling match I ever watched so I have a biased attachment to it, but this is evehrthing I want from a multi-man stipulation match. The match was very fast paced with lots of fun and unique spots, and all teams got a good amount of offence in which is always nice to see. The match does feel a bit rushed at times, making some of the offence seem weak as the wrestlers arent selling the spots for nearly as long as they should be, but this doesnt take away from the match too much. My only complaint about the match is the finish is a bit anticlimactic and rushed, probably because of the time restrictions on this match, but regardless this is a great match that is always enjoyable to rewatch."
[9.0] "A match full of some of the greatest spots in WWE history, from Edge spear off the ladder to Matt Hardy and Bubba going through 4 tables, and Jeff Hardys Swanton Bomb off a ladder. Unfortunately it just falls short of perfection due to it only being just under 16 minutes, making it feel a bit too rushed. 4.75/5"
[9.0] "Always a big bump party. Interventions by Spike Dudley, Rhyno and Lita. Edge's famous Spear from the top of the ladder on Jeff Hardy is the best moment of the match. (4*3/4)"
[9.0] "If you're looking for a high work-rate, technical tag match, then look somewhere else because this match is the pinnacle of sports entertainment: a lot of style but not a lot of substance. There's so many crazy spots in this match it's difficult to name all of them, and each team's run-in is executed wonderfully. This is my go-to match I show to people to get them into wrestling. 4.5/5"
[6.0] "This was even worse than last matches just bunch of high spots unnecessary and bad interventions. And this whole match is remembered and admired because of that spear spot from Edge and nothing more and as X pac once said all of this high spots is because of Michael Hays who was one of the main producers and he is now"
[10.0] "These three teams set the bar so high for the multi-man TLC/Ladder match spotfest that it still isn't topped decades later. Excellent match that was just non-stop crazy spots but also didn't feel overly contrived. The adding of run-in interferrence on the behalf of each team actually added to the match (Lita for the Hardyz, Spike for the Dudleyz and Ryhno for Edge & Christian) and helped to improve this match above the previous crazy matches between the three teams. *****"
[10.0] "Influenced the next 20 years of non-traditional match-ups. We still look back on this for reasons such as the fact that some of our "TLC" matches from today feel slow when this is the father match. This is also the match I name as the outsiders guide, you show this to anyone that's never seen professional wrestling and they will become lifelong fans. It's amazing how today TLC/Ladder matches look slow compared to this fast paced game. (10/10)"
"this match is just pure adrenaline.it starts at a high level and stays on that level for the entire match . the wrestlers took such big risks and at every big moment you would be wowed . it's one of those matches that feel so real .the chemistry is very high and overall this is in my opinion what a 10/10 match looks like"
"11/10 match that made 11 year old me fall in love with wrestling. I remember Jericho vs. Regal and Angle vs. Benoit hooking me at the beginning of WM17, but this match is what took my new obsession over the top. By far my favorite ladder/TLC match of that era."
[10.0] "A car crash in the best way possible. The epitome of spotfest but those spots are so great, the pace is so franetic, and the match is so impactful and shocking that despite the decades it remains engaging and impressive. Every TLC match since has done everything it could to match this and I don't think they ever have."
[9.0] "Not a dull moment in this, brilliantly put together and makes a spotfest feel real and gritty, just 7 guys and a girl and a Rhyno laying it all on the line. The thing stopping me from a perfect 10 is really just that I wanted a little more of it, both times I've watched this it hasn't felt like 15:50 which is a shame if also a testament to its quality making it breeze by. It's the shortest of the E&C/Hardys/Dudleys matches, which makes sense since it's on this stacked show, but I wish this were the one that got in the 18-20+ minute range as the blowoff. ****3/4"
[9.0] "Somehow they ended up outdoing their previous years efforts, outside a couple awkward spots this match is one of the most essential high spot matches in WWE history. Edge with the iconic spear off the ladder to Jeff Hardy is the visual fans remember, but the match was fun all the way through."
[10.0] "These three teams already had the match of the night at the previous years mania, so they decided to amp that up in intensity and fun. Really well incorporated interference and an all time classic spot with Edge's spear off the ladder. Not perfectly smooth but still Outstanding"
[8.0] "I mean...when you see all the spots from now adays it kinda takes away from this match but if we are talking just specifically the match it's a goddamn masterpiece. It's like they saw the matches they did in the past and were like "Okay let's take all of that and put it up to a 100". This is, like most matches on this card, a stupid fun match. The Dudleys are kill it here. The Hardys kill it here. Edge and Christian kill it here. Alot of people complain that this match didn't get 5 stars and that's understandable. It's kinda disorganized and the finish is from out of nowhere. There's no drama at all to this match but it's kinda hard to do with matches like these. I'd say this is the funniest TLC Match I have ever watched. This is a must watch seriously."
[10.0] "Insane matchup. An amazing spotfest with so many brutal and chaotic moments. Some of the spots are historic and will be talked about until the end. Sports entertainment at its best."
[9.0] "This match is very good, but a tad overrated. I'll give it the fact that it was an excellent predecessor for the modern era of spotfest wrestling that we see today, but this match is frequently outshone by it's successors. All the guys (and Lita) involved noticeably put a lot of work in, and they did put on a match that pioneered for the industry, which has improved. Great and iconic, but not the five star epic everyone makes it out as. 9/10 / ****1/2"
[10.0] "Undoubtedly one of my favourite matches of all time, the finest match on an iconic card which would ultimately represent the mainstream zenith of North American wrestling. You can't give much more hype than that, and every ounce of it is deserved here. The Monday Night Wars were of course powered by the largely out-of-sight, underground innovation of ECW, and this match brings all of that to its logical conclusion. The blending together of the favoured weaponry of each of these three teams to form a new match type is a stroke of true genius and delightfully organic booking, with all three teams and their intertwining rivalries developing and bubbling magnificently during this period. While TLC was of course pioneered at the preceding Summerslam, the continued prominence of these teams justifies the sequel, as does, more importantly, the astonishing fact that there were dizzying, intoxicating new heights to explore here. The seemingly impossible presence of fresh terrain to traverse in this match is aided in part by another excellent choice, which is the addition of Spike Dudley, Lita and Rhyno into the carnage. All elements converge to birth what must surely be the greatest action movie bout of all time, a spectacular blockbuster which barely pauses for breath as it winds through untrammeled chaos. As mentioned, the fact that there were new spots to introduce here is a minor miracle, but while there seems to be little in the way of pacing (and none is needed! ), the way the match is mapped out constitutes perfection to me. The spear from Edge to Jeff Hardy is a timeless staple of video packages memorialising the history of WWE, of those men, of hardcore wrestling, and rightly so, but for me the adrenaline in this match has always truly hit an insurmountable overdrive with the denouement, which is how you would wish for any match to be sequenced. The stacked tables spot which closes here is the apex of exhilaration every single time, even after more than two decades. We knew this match was sensational in 2001, but we didn't realise then that this wasn't realistically possible to top. This is a result of TLC2 being forged at the crucible of wrestling history, a narrative nexus point which simply cannot be recaptured, as the careers of all of the promoters, bookers and wrestlers involved in bringing this match to us criss-crossed at an unrepeatable, head-spinning apogee in the annals of the wrestling industry."
[8.0] "The summary of this match is spots that will go down in history forever, a crowd completely in ecstasy and chaos (VERY CHAOS), I don't think it's the best match of the genre (even though it's the most classic) because I think it's too rushed and totally chaotic (****1/4)"
[10.0] "This match has some of the greatest spots ever, which is made true by the constant emulation of them throughout wrestling even today, with some of the top talent of their time, all in their prime, and it's batshit insane. In what world would I give this anything below a 10? This will stay in my top 5 for the foreseeable future."
[10.0] "This is the reason to watch this show, and by far the best thing on it in terms of actual in-ring action (and near-ring action). There's some solid wrestling going on between the big spots that were expected, and the effective turning of each team into a trio by the introduction of another player - allowed as it was no-DQ due to the stipulation - was handled extremely well. They'd reached a sweet spot with this style of matches where much of the stuff was familiar, but not yet seeming repetitive, and there were still some creative new spots. Excellent stuff."
[10.0] "Legendary. Iconic. THE TLC match. Any time you see the Dudley Boyz, Edge & Christian, and the Hardy Boys, you know it's gonna be great. Amazing spot fest with a great story. Has a great natural flow, and the story line building up to it makes the extreme and "ECW-esque" nature of TLC, we no longer get, feel natural and real. There wasn't a single dull second in the entire match. I remember watching the match for the first time (close to around the time of WM 30) and to this day I have the same jaw dropping reaction to the Matt and Bubba falling through the stacked four tables, and of course the iconic spear to Hardy as he was hanging from the belts from Edge. The run ins from Spike, Lita, and Rhyno were amazingly done as well. All in all, greatest TLC match of all time, amazing long term story telling building up to the match between these three teams. I don't think it can be topped."
[8.0] "This match is great and fun, a must watch in its own right. Just not a downright classic many other people consider it. Regardless it's an amazing spectacle and fun spot fest"
[9.0] "Still one of the best car crash matches of all time. Full of fun run ins, dumb spots and risk taking for my entertainment. The spear is still unbelievable after all these years."
[10.0] "Definitely in the top 5 of all time for me with Edge spearing Jeff Hardy off the ladder being my favorite non-return moment of all time. Absolute car crash from start to finish, but it was the best car crash of all time. 10/10"
[7.0] "This match isn't one of the best matches ever for me, but it's stood the test of time and it's one of the most influential matches of it's kind. There was some dead time early on but once they got going with the big spots and sick bumps they didn't slow down with them. The interference from Spike, Rhyno and Lita was done perfectly and added to the chaos. This kind of match could get messy and difficult to keep up with but that wasn't the case here. Edge spearing Jeff off the ladder might be the single greatest spot in a ladder match ever, even if the setup to it seemed botched. So it's a very good car crash match with some all time great moments. But overall I wouldn't rank it as high on my lists as most people would. ***3/4"
[10.0] "The only TLC match that matters to me. I know we take the medium pretty seriously here. I love a slow burn story in the ring like anybody else here. But holy fuck bar none just some of the coolest shit of all time. Every ladder match wants to be this and RR vs HBK."
[9.0] "It's arguably a spotfest (though I think the psychology is reasonably good), there are some disconcerting bumps, there are some obviously blown or semi-blown spots, and the finish arguably just kind of happens (though Rhyno's role in it is kind of amusing). But there's no denying that the violent spectacle of it all captures one's imagination. I feel like the spear to Jeff Hardy has to be one of the all-time great ladder match spots. Even in a "peeking behind the curtain" sort of way: I thought it was really cool how Jeff, Bubba Ray, and Edge all engineered it to make sure everyone was ready while also having everything make sense."
[8.0] "If there is a hall of fame for spot fests, this one is the match sitting on that marble podium under a spotlight at the center of the room. Edge spearing Jeff Hardy while he was hanging made the whole stadium lose it collective shits. The only bad thing about this match was that it helped jade and dull the senses of the fans as the company kept pushing to try and top this moment which they came close to but never really did."
[10.0] "Their SummerSlam match was amazing and was going to be hard to top but they managed to pull it off in this one. They take the usual insane bumps by falling off 20 foot high ladders, while doing other insane spots. Some notable spots was Edge spear off the ladder while Jeff was in mid air, and Rhyno sending Bubba and Matt though 4 tables. The interferences from Lita, Spike Dudley, and Rhyno only added to this match's greatness. There's a reason this is one of the more influential matches ever.*****"
[10.0] "The pinnacle of TLC matches that has yet to have been topped in the twenty years since. Three of the greatest teams in wrestling history going all out and destroying their bodies for entertainment. It was fun seeing the various managers run down and have mini runs before getting taken out."
[9.0] "A very, very good TLC match, even though I slightly prefer the Summerslam one. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic spotfest full of destructive spots and memorable moments, but honestly the first part is a bit slower than the second one, and the previous TLC at Summerslam actually had no moments of pause. As I said, a great TLC match and one of the most influential matches ever, but for some reasons I prefer the Summerslam one"
[10.0] "This match is the definition of influential. And while all the future ladder matches were crazier, had more spots and were more hardcore, this one is still a classic in my book."
[10.0] "The most brutal couples match I've ever seen, it was awesome to see how they fought to win the title, that was the best couples match in years and it still can't be beaten."
[10.0] "There's really nothing I can add to this that hasn't already been said. One of if not the best tag team matches EVER put to screen. Go watch it again."
[10.0] "What else is there to be said that hasn't already been said about this entire trilogy? How about there's a part where Bubba and Edge are in the middle on ladders and Bubba pushes Edge off and Edge is meant to do the same, but he kind of just lightly taps him and Bubba does a big ass back bump. Match still rules, though. *****"
[10.0] "They should have just retired the TLC stipulation after this. Three innovative teams threatened to steal the show from the greatest WM of all time and elevated WWE's tag division and their individual careers (except D-Von) for the next decade. For whatever the fed got wrong with hardcore matches, they really stumbled onto something great here."
[9.0] "Awesome match. Non stop and well cheorographed action ;huge and wild spots And an incredible crowd. 15 mins of unorthodox professional wrestling madness. One of the best TLC match I have watched. MOTN. ****3/4"
[9.0] "An iconic exemplar of WWE at its peak, this match stands as the pinnacle of the TLC genre and a watershed moment for the men who feature in this match. The sacrifices of the body here are still remarkable to this day in a way that isn't morbid, but stunning. (4.75) (MOTM: Jeff Hardy)"
[10.0] "Maybe it's because I watched them back to back but it felt like it took a little bit for this to get going. None the less it's amazing and maybe it's the nostalgia talking but I won't be too critical or analytical of this, it's just fun carnage so just sit back and enjoy."
"Crazy good match they started brawling. Some moved outside. The ladders came in quickly. The tables followed soon after. Some nice psychology to work into certain spots. All the teams just mesh together. It's like an art. Jeff Hardy is someone who is insane in such a dope way. Edge is fire too. Like the interference too. Lol Edge and Christian always find a crafty way to win. Creativity shows a lot in this match too. 10/10"
[10.0] "Iconic is an overutilized term, but this match is where it's appropriate. This changed tag team wrestling in the United States forever, helped define the entire Attitude Era, and created enduring legacies for all six men. Absolute madness with spots that people still talk about 20 years later. It's been said that watching this match was like watching a car crash, and I'm not sure it ever gets any easier to stomach. It's just as pure as the brilliance of a match of this style can be. 5 stars, 10 out of 10."
[9.0] "Awesome match with some brutal spots. Maybe not as good as the match from last year's Mania between these three, but that doesn't mean that it's bad by any means. As a matter of fact, this match rules. It's a relief to see that none of these guys are dead or crippled at this point because watching this at the time must have felt like watching 6 guys legitimately risk their lives."
[10.0] "An action packed fast paced thrill ride from from start to finish. The spots just keep getting riskier and riskier leading to the amazing climax. The greatest TLC match ever, no one will top this. The bar was raised to it's highest point here, and once you've climbed Everest there is nowhere else to go."
[10.0] "What a spectacular trainwreck, and probably the most glorious spotfest I've ever seen. All nine people (including the run ins) worked extremely hard, bumping all over the place. They keep everything at a moving pace, resulting in no dull spots at all. Everything about this match screams awesomeness. As far as the MVP of the match goes, I gotta give it to Jeff Hardy for his involvement in two amazing spots, but props to all involved either way. [*****]"
[8.0] "This match had everything. From the high flying bumps to the cringeworthy headshots, Perfect tlc match. Although the Jeff hardy Swanton looked a bit risky."
[10.0] "More of the same from Summerslam with a few added bells and whistles. Each team has an interfering wrestler/valet to help them out and the spots are crazier than those saw in the Summerslam match. They perfected the car crash spotfest formula and they would never come close to this brilliance again. Despite WWE having a PPV named after this match for a decade, I can't name a single excellent TLC or ladder match that wowed me anywhere close to the level of this."
[5.0] "Man, this isn't even the best TLC between the three to this point. It felt so much like every second there wasn't a big spot was spent setting up the next big spot, and just as I was feeling underwhelmed, the run-ins really did it in for me."
[9.0] "Die Spots die hier zu sehen waren haben Wrestlinggeschichte geschrieben! Es gibt auch kaum ein Match, dass ich so oft gesehen habe. Mich hat irgendwie gestört, dass die drei Eingreifenden so eine große Rolle spielten. Ich finde den Kampf immer noch cool, aber die sehr hohe Wertung hat zu großem Teil einfach historischen Wert!"
[10.0] "This match is legendary for the craziness of the spots, the overness of the wrestlers, and the sheer amount of fun people can have watching it. That reputation is warranted. This match isn't even close to a technical masterpiece, but it's unfair to just label it as a car crash type of match. This was a masterful display of creativity, highspots, athleticism, and hunger from a bunch of young guys who were demanding an opportunity. Not only did this match catch everyone's attention, but it launched the careers of every competitor into legendary status. Mission accomplished."
[10.0] "It might be tempting to knock this match how it (negatively) influenced future generations but I don't think that's fair. It really is an incredible match."
[9.0] "The most legendary pure ladder-spotfest of all-time. Features maybe the most legendary singular spot of a multi-man ladder match ever with Edge's Spear to Jeff, and alongside that, there's MANY other also totally-crazy moments. It's a fireworks show. The inclusion of Spike, Rhyno & Lita only added to the insanity. These kind of matches aren't exactly my cup of tea these days, especially because of how damn overdone they are in this day & age, but this one truly stands the test of time."
[10.0] "Yeah this was absolutely nuts. Out of all their TLC matches, this one is my favorite. This was a chaotic war between 3 of the greatest tag teams ever in their prime and they absolutely destroyed each other. The outside interference actually served to make the match even more intense, which usually isn't the case but it was here. So many iconic moments in this match like Jeff getting speared while holding onto the titles. This was carnage and in the best way possible. The ending felt a tad anticlimactic, but that's the only slight fault I can find in this insane match. ****3/4"
[10.0] "Diese drei Teams können bei solchen Matchtypen einfach nur überzeugen - so auch heute. Das ist natürlich wieder das erwartete Spotfest, hat aber im Vergleich mit dem Match beim SS dieses mal auch diverse Eingriffe im Petto, welche aber ebenfalls einige deftige Spots bieten. Wie gewohnt nehmen die Dudleys und die Hardys die richtig dicken Bumps, während Edge und Christian da eher verhaltend agieren. Die Schlussphase mit dem Spear von Edge an Hardy und der Sturz von Bubba und Matt bleiben natürlich in Erinnerung und der Titelgewinn von Edge und Christian macht das ganze hier nahezu perfekt - absolutes Must See!"
[10.0] "One of the best ladder matches i have ever watched . Expect from jeff hardy botvh , every spot was crazy, extreme, and amazing so it deserves 5 stars."
[10.0] "Yet another amazing match these three teams, the peak of their rivalry and perhaps one of the greatest TLC matches of all time, maybe even the best. There were so many good moments in this one, too many to mention here, this one was just wall to wall insanity from bell to bell. Watch this match, it is the perfect blowoff to the Hardys/E&C rivalry and a crazy match overall."
[10.0] "This was the final match in a series of crazy gimmick matches between these three teams for the tag team championships. All of those matches were amazing with jaw dropping bumps and creative insane spots. And this match managed to actually outdo all of them. The Hardyz, The Dudleyz and Edge & Christian all works their asses off to deliver this epic car wreck of a masterpiece. To take it a step further they all received help from an ally adding to the mayhem. Spike Dudley ran out to help the Dudleyz, Rhyno ran out to help E&C and Lita was out to help the Hardyz. Everyone had their moments of insanity to shine but if I had to pick a standout it would be Jeff Hardy. From his swanton bomb off a 20 foot ladder to Rhyno and Spike on a pair of tables to Edge using that same ladder to spear a dangling Jeff who was swinging in the air holding the tag belts, Jeff proved he was the most clinically crazy of the bunch. In the end this was the magnum opus of a feud which made the careers of all six participants and near two decades later still has not been topped. A classic. *****"
[10.0] "Pure chaos! Looking back with hindsight, this was probably the most damaging match in all of their careers, but it also solidified all their careers. And with Rhyno, Spike and Lita coming in, it made it even more crazy. This in the most sadistic way possible ruled! *****"
[9.0] "This was a spot-fest and it was exactly what it was supposed to be. I loved the action and run-ins and the amount of broken tables. Gimmick match? Yes and i'm happy that this one got its place on the showcase of immortals."
[9.0] "What a match! great match from all of the teams. Full of action, full of great spots and just an amzing match that I wanted to see more of that."
[7.0] "I won't deny that they busted out some pretty big spots--but as a whole this match felt so overly pre-planned that I never truly 'marked out' to it. Simply put, if a match doesn't feel convincingly real enough, it's never going to be an 'awesome' match in my book. And that's my main issue with this match, it doesn't feel natural, it feels way too set up in this awkward 'they're just setting up another spot' kind of way. I absolutely love spot-based matches if the match has *some* level of competitive realism to it--but this was literally just spots for the sake of spots. An entertaining little stunt show yes, but no where near as good as its overall rating suggests."
[8.0] "A great match, but an overrated one. These teams are next level at offensive innovation, and delivered some absolutely unforgettable moments. That said, there were a few botches and some spots of out of place slowness that left something to be desired. I also did not like the pointless run ins from Rhyno, Lita, and Spike Dudley, I thought those really took away from the matches and didn't add much back in return. ****+"
[7.0] "incredibile pace and crazy bumps, there isn't really one dull moment. nevertheless, it's kind of overbooked and i realize this kind of gimmick matches aren't my kind of thing, because i generally like to see some wrestling in a wrestling match"
[8.0] "It's impressive for what it is but what it is is pretty lowbrow and cheap. More about spots than telling an immersive, mulifaceted story. It's also disappointing that they felt the need to add run-ins to what would have been served better as a simple tag team match. But the bumps were undeniably spectacular, the sheer spectacle of it has to be admired even if it's not the most elevated form of wrestling."
[9.0] "Still probably the best match of its kind. It's short and sweet and doesn't suffer too badly from the usual pitfalls of awkward set-ups and guys standing around doing nothing. Matches like this, especially with so many people, can become messy and awkward, but adding more people half way through only kicked this one up a notch because everything was relatively smooth. It was a spot-fest which didn't feel like just a montage of moves even though that's kind of what it was. On the downside, there wasn't a whole lot of drama surrounding the final climb for the belts as that seemed to happen mostly off camera thanks to the great bump just before, but they did a good job of ending on a high note. If we're talking pure wrestling, this isn't a great match, but there's great entertainment value."
[9.0] "I think this far out does the match from the year before. The stunts are just as crazy and reach far more height than its predecessor. The spear off the ladder onto Jeff is rather legendary at this point. Not just that. The double table spot between Bubba and Matt. The interference was well done and it was done to maximum effect. Unbelievable match ****1/2"
[10.0] "One of the most iconic matches of all time. THIS is the match that got young me hooked on wrestling. All 3 of these teams are Hall Of Fame bound and this match just proves why they should be. Every wrestling fan should see this match at least once. (*****)"
[9.0] "Dieses legendäre TLC ist der Gipfelpunkt der fantastischen Matchserie dieser drei Teams. Diese haben, nicht nur mit diesem Match, das Tag Team Wrestling und das Spot Wrestling der WWE seinerzeit auf ein völlig neues Level gehoben. Wie bei WM 16 und beim Summerslam 2000 besteht dieses Match aus einer unglaublichen Zahl an einzelnen Spots. Im Grunde geht es bei solchen Matches ja immer viel zu schnell und chaotisch zur Sache, ohne dass die Bumps angemessen gesellt werden können. Das stört bei einer solchen Performance aber nur geringfügig. Die Matchstory ist noch schlüssiger (incl. der drei Interferences) und die Bauphasen sind erträglicher als in den anderen Matches der Teams. Das Finish ist echt innovativ und sieht mit E&C die üblichen Sieger, die dementsprechend auch wie üblich am wenigsten einstecken müssen. Im Gedächtnis bleibt vor allem der großartige Spear gegen den hängenden Jeff. Reines Wrestling gibts natürlich kaum. Bis heute das vielleicht großartigste TLC Match überhaupt."
[10.0] "Greatest spotfest of all time. A match that has yet to be topped in pure entertainment. Lots of insanely crazy spots, and it doesn't overstay it's welcome at 15 minutes. Careers were shortened, fun was had, stars were made. (*****+)"
[10.0] "Easily one of the most iconic matches in the attitude era. ALL 6 busted their asses off and put their body on the line for this insane classic. The edge's spear to jeff on the mid air will be remembered forever. Bubba/matt felling off the ladder through 4 tables outside was also crazy. The jeff's swanton bomb to bubba was freaking great. Just awesome work from all competitor in the best mania ever."
[10.0] "Gotta go the full deal on this one. The perfect culmination of the life shortening TLC matches these 3 mad teams indulged in. Amazing match. The spots have not dated one bit. This flows much better than the rest and has the all time great spot of Jeff getting speared by Edge off a ladder while hanging on to the belts. *****"
[9.0] "Still probably the best TLC match to date. Edge & Christian, The Hardys, and the Dudleys stole the show again at the grandest stage of them all Wrestlemania 17. When people think of ladder matches this and the Razor/Michaels match from Wrestlemania 10 are probably the two they think of. If you thought this match was boring you probably shouldn't watch wrestling because it doesn't get any crazier than this match. Bodies flying everywhere, tables breaking, chair shots, and ladders galore. A great car crash of a match and one of the best ladder matches of all time. ****1/2"
[10.0] "An all-out classic and the best TLC match as of now (it CAN be topped, but in all likely hood it won't be). Everything about this match is an improvement on the outstanding Summerslam TLC 8 months prior. The run ins were perfectly utilized, the spots were insane and the bumps these guys took emotionally draining. Its a phenomenal match that stands the test of time, and a big cog in machine that is X-7. Edge surprisingly steals the show, hitting a very high spear on Jeff Hardy, a move that would pay off in the end. *****"
[8.0] "The spots are nuts, the bumps are nuts, and there is even a bit of psychology going on. But it's mostly a spot-fest, albeit one the likes of which had never been seen before this match existed. It has aged surprisingly well, but it's nowhere near an all-out classic."
[10.0] "Masterpiece, amazing TLC match. It's insane, even for indies bump standards! With 65000+ people in the arena loving the match, it's something incredible, the three teams are great, Lita, Spike Dudley and Rhyno are great too. Everything flows perfectly, there are a couple of mistakes here and there but it's okay. Too many things to handle, so much happens and most of the moves are crazy. Impressive work from every wrestler involved. *****"
[10.0] "Das legendäre TLC Match war dann natürlich total verrückt. Der Spear an Jeff einer der legendärsten Momente der WWE Geschichte. Hätte 5 Minuten länger sein können/müssen, hier war jedoch auch so einfach alles phänomenal. Nie hatte man das Gefühl, dass etwas konstruiert wurde, alles hatte einen Sinn. Das haben Nachahmer (Ladder War VI) nicht so hinbekommen. Göttliches Match (****¾+)."
[10.0] "This was the climax of the rivalry between all three teams and they really put on a show-stealer. This was WM so of course the crowd was gonna be white hot, and early on in the show everyone still knew this match would just be as crazy as their previous matches. The bumps in this match were crazy as pretty much all nine men took a big bump somehow or another, famous bumps being "that spear", another successful crazy Jeff Swanton, and the four table bump at the end. Somehow though E&C still came out on top like their previous 2 encounters with both teams, *****."
[10.0] "Und Zack, schon wieder gesteigert! Es war durchaus ein Plus, das jede Fraktion noch einen Mann (bzw. Frau) draußen hatte, gab der ganzen Sache noch mehr Dynamik) und wieder gab es genug Spots, wo man nur staunend dreinblicken konnte! Am Ende, und das Einzige, was mich stört, mal wieder, Sieger: Edge & Christian! Sonst Top!"
[10.0] "Ich schließe mich Meltzer und den anderen Kommentaren hier an - ein absolutes Weltklassematch mit mehreren vorher nie gesehenen Spots, OMG-Moments en masse und einfach nur eine Runde Sache, für mich das beste Tag Team Match bislang, ****3/4"
[10.0] "Weltklasse Match welches man so auch nur selten gesehen hat. Dieses TLC Match war das beste Triple Tag Team Match aller Zeiten. Es gab klasse Spots und so war das ganze Match sogar das MotN auch wenn das schwierig war. Einfach Weltklasse(****3/4)."
[10.0] "Für mich die Definition von Spotwrestling. Eines der unterhaltsamsten Matches aller Zeiten und auch bei jedem erneuten Anschauen immer noch extrem ansehnlich. Klar ist das technisch gesehen nichts, aber darum geht es eben in diesem Match nicht. Es gibt hier einen Spot nach dem anderen und man ist jede Sekunde gefesselt und unterhalten. Für mich das beste TLC Match allerzeiten und auch generell eines der besten Matches der Wrestlemania History."
[10.0] "Very possibly the best match of it's style, just a car crash blast of fun from beginning to end. All the extra people just add to the fun and everyone gives 110%. Love it!"
[8.0] "Even if you hate spotfests it is hard to not rate this match highly. There must be some point where a match has so many spots at such a high level of quality that it surpasses being just a typical spotfest and actually becomes just a genuinely insanely hyped match. Each tag team gets various opportunities to destroy at least one opponent in great style involving a ladder or table (or various ladders/tables). Each tag team also benefits from interference as Spike Dudley comes to help the Dudleys, Rhyno comes to help Edge and Christian, and Lita comes to help The Hardys. With these 9 performers in the ring surrounded by various tables, ladders, and chairs there was obviously a lot of fun to be had. You barely get a break in between all the bodies going through tables. Edge's Spear off the tall ladder onto a dangling Jeff Hardy was great and was the second most impressive spot behind the final spot with Matt and Bubba slowly falling off the tall ladder through 4 tables on the outside. The wrestling was obviously very minimal, but this is one of those rare occasions where that didn't affect my enjoyment of the match too heavily, if at all. ****"
[10.0] "Just incredible, I never get tired of watching this match. How anyone can dislike this is beyond me, it's a TLC match so you expect it be just spots really and this match had some of the best spots in wrestling period - that spear from the ladder to Jeff is just breathtaking, fantastic match ****3/4"
[10.0] "TLC II mit den wohl legendären Spear gegen den am Gürtel hängenden Jeff Hardy. Dazu nehmen die 6 beteiligten Wrestler und ihr Anhang absolut durchgeknallte und sehr schmerzhafte Spots."
[8.0] "A fun spotfest. Like a greatest hits compilation of the best spots from the previous ladder matches and TLC I, with the addition of a runner in for each team."
[10.0] "Die sechs liefern wieder einmal das MotN und einen WM Klassiker. Es gibt wieder etliche gefährliche und schmerzhafte Spots. Zudem beschert uns Edge eine der legendärsten WM Momenten: Den Super Spear gegen Jeff Hardy. Auch der Sturz von Matt & Bubba durch die Tische bleiben einem im Gedächtnis. Das Finish bei dem E&C mit Hilfe von Rhyno gewinnen fand ich auch gut umgesetzt. (4 3/4*)"
[10.0] "TLC II ein Klassiker für die Ewigkeit (****3/4). Edge´s Spear auf der Leiter an Jeff Hardy zu Recht ein WM Moment für die Ewigkeit. Die Bumps in diesen Match waren auch sehr stark und teilweise sehr gefährlich vor allem der Bump von dieser rießen Leiter gut das da Tischen waren sonst wäre es noch schlimmer gewesen."
[9.0] "This match was one of the best ladder matches to have ever happened. Compared to the first TLC match, and the year befores Ladder match, that these teams had though it just doesn't quite meet the standards they set. My main gripe with this match was all the outside interference. While I understand the point of it, it took away a slight part of the enjoyment."
[10.0] "All I can say is that this was my favorite TLC match of all time. The spots were amazing and they told a good story. If only WWE tag teams were like this. I would love to see something like this today."
[10.0] "Das beste Match der WWE Geschichte. Keine Spoiler. Nur an alle die es nicht kennen: ANSCHAUEN! Das das kein ***** is is Blasphemie auf höchster Stufe. Extreme Spotgefahr."
[10.0] "Man hat durch die 2 vorherigen 3 Way TLC/Triangle Matches schon ein absolutes Spotfestival erwartet und dieses hat man auch absolut bekommen! Ein sehr sehr sehr gutes Match mit vielen Schmerzhaft aussehenden Spots wie zb, Den Legendären "Super Spear" oder den fall von Matt und Bubba durch den Tisch außerhalb."
[10.0] "Ein weiterer Klassiker der "fantastischen Sechs". Wie schon bei WM 16 wird hier wieder Spot an Spot gesetzt und der Zuschauer bekommt eigentlich keine Atempause. Viele der Bumps sind wirklich riskant und sehen schmerzhaft aus. Am legendärsten ist wohl der Spear von der Leiter, der in vielen Best of-Videos vertreten ist. Ein absolutes Must-See-Match das zu den besten TLC-Matches aller Zeiten gehört."
[6.0] "Really fun match with a lot of amazing spots, but I rate every match as a wrestling match and this just didn't have enough versatile wrestling for my liking. Psychology wise, I would have loved to see more attempts at capturing the titles (which is my gripe with MOST ladder matches). It just didn't seem logical. ***"
[10.0] "Holy shit this was fucking insane. The match was at a fast pace and a lot less setting up of spots although there was plenty of insane ones, ones that would last forever in the history of WWE. The pick of the lot for me was Edge spearing Hardy ft in the air from a ladder. *****"
[9.0] "The best most cheerful TLC match ever with improbable quantity of magnificent spots. It is a pity that its duration exceeded TLC I duration for only one minute. My rating: ****1/4."
[10.0] "Auch ich halte gerade das Match von WrestleMania 16 besser als dieses Aufeinandertreffen. Trotzdem ist das natürlich Jammern auf einem verdammt hohen Niveau und einige der hier gesehenen Moves sind schlicht für die Ewigkeit, beispielsweise Edge's Spear von der Leiter gegen Jeff Hardy. Mich hat etwas das Eingreifen der Sidekicks Rhyno, Spike und Lita gestört. Alles andere als 10 Punkte sind m. E. diesem Match nicht angemessen gerade auch mit dem genialen Kommentatoren-Duo Jim Ross und Paul Heyman."
[10.0] "Schwer zu sagen, welches das beste der TLC-Matches ist, aber das hier ist einer der Kandidaten. Beinhaltet viele Spots, die noch bis heute zu meinen Favorites gehören"
[10.0] "One of the best Spotfest Matches ever! Props to all three teams (plus Rhyno, Spike and Lita) for taking a lot of bumps to make this match memorable! And let's not forget this golden line from JR himself: 'Lita's here, Jerking Edge off... the Ladder! ' :D"
[10.0] "So if you want to get something new out of professional wrestling, start with this extraordinary match. This should be the synonym for "perfection". TLC matches create legends cause it takes a lot to step into this kind of match. Team Xtreme, Team 3D and E&C&R worked every single bit of their bodies to give birth to pro-wrestling's masterpiece. WM crowd blew up after every crazy move they did. This was so innovative and extreme that you just freezed in front of your screen. Waiting for next move while hating the fact that this will come to an end some time. Of course, I have to mention just one of the sickest spots - Edge spearing hanging in the air Jeff Hardy off the ladder. And if you think that that is all, you're horribly wrong. Edge, Christian, Rhyno, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Lita, D-Von Dudley, Bubba Ray Dudley and Spike created a more than a classic match that night. They presented something extremely special to wrestling history."
[10.0] "This match stole the show at arguably the greatest PPV of all time. The action was insane and relentless for the time, the most beautiful chaos imaginable. Those three teams clicked with each other every time, but that was their epitome as nothing ever matched the insanity of that one glorious battle. Icing on the top, the interference from Spike Dudley, Lita and Rhino only added to the unpredictability and brutality of that war with many casualties. 9 people put their health on the line to create a masterpiece of violence special effects, and they succeeded on an unprecedented level that might never be matched."
[8.0] "I don't really like the run ins but there's some amazing bumps that really raised the bar for professional wrestling and it's a very memorable match as a whole."
[10.0] "Was für ein Destruction Derby, aber ich liebe solche Matches. Es gab auch hier wieder geniale Spots, natürlich vor allem der Spear von Edge gegen den Hardys Jeff. Für mich ist dieses Match einfach nur zum Genießen."
[10.0] "Ein paar Minuten mehr Action und ich wäre in höchste Sphären entschwunden vor lauter Begeisterung. Es war lange nicht ersichtlich wer denn nun wirklich dominant ist. Das Match war abwechslungsreich, zerstörerisch und der OMG-Faktor hat auch ordentlich nach oben ausgeschlagen. Auch Lita, Rhyno und Spike Dudley haben dem Match am Ende noch eine gute Würze verliehen. Zusammengefasst: Episch und erinnerungswürdig. Stark!"
[10.0] "Natürlich ein großartiges Match, wenn auch in der Nachbetrachtung etwas verklärt, allerdings trug es dazu bei, vier der Teilnehmer zu Stars zu machen, die auch erfolgreiche Einzelkarrieren durchleben beziehungsweise durchlebten. Man kann sich dem Zauber dieses Matches schwer entziehen, egal ob Fan von Spotfesten oder nicht."
[9.0] "Gutes Match. Punkt. Dass es in der Nachbetrachtung etwas verklärt und overhyped wird, erschliesst sich mir zwar nicht ganz, denn ich halte (wie auch einer meiner Vorredner) das Ladder-Match von WM16, sowie das erste TLC für besser und sauberer erarbeitet (einige Spots sassen nicht besonders gut - Stichwort "Jeff Hardy"), dennoch mag ich das Match nicht kaputtreden. Wreslemaniawürdig und absolut gutklassig (nicht zuletzt weil E&C wie so oft von mir moniert hervorragend mitarbeiteten), nicht jedoch das beste seiner Zunft. Sehenswert."
[10.0] "Als Fan von Hardcorematches und unglaublichen Spots bleibt mir bei 7 (richtig gezählt? ) zerbrochenen Tischen gar nichts anderes übrig als die Höchstnote zu geben!"
[10.0] "Dieses TLC Match stahl die Show! Klasse umsetzung, vorallem als Matt und Bubba durch die tische Flogen war das cool :). zwar gab es das scho fast so ähnlich beim Summerslam aber bei WM wurde es noch mehr vorgehoben. Best TLC Match of all Time"
[10.0] "Die 6 haben dort einen Maßstab gesetzt, den bis heute noch niemand wieder erreicht hat. Wenn ich nur an den Spear und die ganzen Bumps durch die Tische denke, einfach nur großartig. Die Eingriffe sorgten noch für etwas mehr Spannung, ich hätte aber auch gut ohne sie auskommen können, zumal einer dieser Eingriffe maßgeblich zu entscheidung führte, was der einzige kleine Minuspunkt bei diesem Match war. Alles in allem das beste TLC Match aller Zeiten und das Match of the Night."
[10.0] "Einfach ein klasse Match, von dem ich finde das der Spear von der Leiter und die ganzen Table-Crashes die Höhepunkte waren. Einfach nur klasse und das beste TLC Match, was es jemals gab."
[10.0] "Mein absolutes Lieblings Match. Ich könnte es mir 100mal anschauen und es immer wieder genießen. ***** hat es sich verdient, warum immer nur "Pure Wrestlingmatches" so gut bewerten?"
[10.0] "Starkes Match in meinen Augen, allerdings fand ich ihr erstes Match beim Summerslam besser. Waren einfach zu viele Eingriffe von Wrestlern die nicht am Match teilnahmen, so Rhyno oder Spike Dudley. Ändert allerdings nichts daran, dass dieses Match ebenfalls eines der besten Ladder Matches ist. Mir gefallen Ladder Matches sehr da sich daraus sehr viel machen lässt. Vorallem, der Spear von der Leiter auf den am Titelhängenden Jeff Hardy ist inzwischen legänder."
[10.0] "Hamma Match! Mit die beste Tag Team Aktion die man als Fan sehen durfte, sollte man sich heute nochmal eine Scheibe von abschneiden, dann wird auch der Tag Team bereich wieder interessanter, obwohl mit JeriShow und jetzt Shomiz, ja schon der erste kleine Schritt gewagt wird!"
[10.0] "Mein Lieblinsladder Match. Einfach Extrem! Die BUmbs waren extrem sowas sah man in der WWE selten. Die 3 Team harmonierten super und daraus resultierte ein super Match. Viel kann man nicht sagen, der Spear Edges, die vielen Bumbs.... Einfach ein must seen"
[9.0] "Von der ganzen Matchreihe das Meisterwerk. Einfach nur geile Stimmung nach hinten raus und unglaubliche Spots. Alleine der Spear ist einfach nur legendär. Ich gebe`****1/2."
[10.0] "Das zweite ***** Sterne Match bei Wrestlemania X-7 ich kann es zwar verstehen dass manche dieses Match ein wenig schlechter bewerten als ich, denn es gab keine Ringpsychologie wie es schon beschrieben worden ist. Aber es lebt von den Spots und diese waren enorm. Vorerst gebe ich 10 Punkte, habe aber noch nicht die anderen TLC Matches der 6 Protagonisten gesehen wenn eins besser ist werde ich die Bewertung ein wenig runterziehen."
[10.0] "Was es da an Spots gab war einfach nur brutal und krank, vorallem dieser brutale Spear von Edge, den jeder Fan mal gesehen haben sollte. Weitere Spots waren natürlich eine Swanton von einer Riesenleiter und Stürze durch vier Tische. Ein wenig viele Interferences vielleicht, da jedes Team jedoch einen weiteren Mitstreiter hat jedoch auch aktzeptabel. Ein kleiner Botch war auch als Jeff versuchte über drei Leitern zu Gürtel zu laufen, was aber Gott sei Dank nicht schlimm endete (was durchaus hätte passieren können). Trotz all dem ein geniales Match und einfach nur krank."
[10.0] "Sehr starkes Match, Respekt an alle Beteiligten. Ob es besser oder schlechter war als das erste TLC ist da eigentlich egal, 10 Punkte sind es auf jeden Fall."
[10.0] "Es war zwar ein reines Spotfest, aber was für eines! Wenn ich an Leitermatches denke, dann fallen mir die 3 Big - Spots am Ende ein. Dieses Match hat eindeutig Wiedererkennungswert, von Anfang an gibt es krasse und inovative Spots, die immer weiter gesteigert wurden. Einfach genial!"
[9.0] "Erstklassiges TLC Match mit unglaublichen Spots, viel Interference und sehr hohem Unterhaltungsfaktor. Einer der Gründe, warum WM X-7 als eine der besten Wrestlemanias gilt. Schrammt ebenfalls nur knapp an den 10 Punkten vorbei."
[10.0] "Einfach nur großartig... was diese sechs Männer da auf die Beine gestellt haben, ist wirklich der absolute Wahnsinn! Natürlich bleibt immer der Mega-Spear von Edge gegen Jeff Hardy in Erinnerung, der auch heute noch in jedem Wrestlemania-Highlightvideo zu finden ist."
[10.0] "Hab mir das Match am WE noch mal angesehen und muss sagen: WOW! Mein Vokabular reicht nicht aus, um zu beschreiben, wie gut dieses Match war. Und das obwohl es (streng genommen) das dritte seiner Art mit gleichbleibender Besetzung war."
[9.0] "Sensationelles TLC-Match! Alle Teams zeigen gute Aktionen und auch deren Verbündete Rhino, Lita und Spike mischen ordentlich mit. Highlight natürlich der Spear von Edge gegen den in der Luft hängenden Jeff. Aber auch einige Tische gingen ordentlich zu Bruch."
[10.0] "Für mich das beste Match aller Zeiten, weil ich auch ein Fan von Spot-Matches bin. Unterhaltsam ohne Ende, die Run-Ins, die Spots (Jeffs Swanton, der Spear von Edge, Matt & Bubba durch die 4 Tische, .... )"
[10.0] "Ist echt ein sau starkes Match, aber bleibt ein klein wenig hinter dem Vorgänger zurück.. Aber nur so ein klein wenig, das es die Note behält. 10 Punkte."
[10.0] "In meinen Augen hat man hier das absolute Maximum aus der Matchart hervor geholt, zumindest was die Spots und die Dynamik anbelangt. Das beste Tag-TLC!"
[10.0] "Oh mein Gott, war das ein Fest, halsbrecherische Spots ohne Ende, die 6 haben toll harmoniert und so die Show an diesem Abend gestohlen und Massstaebe gesetzt."
[10.0] "Göttlich! Mehr muss man dazu nicht sagen, man muss es einfach selbst gesehen haben, das war ein nur der Wahnsinn, von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute! 4 3/4*"
[8.0] "Wirklich ein ordentliches Leidermatch aber den Hype als das angeblich beste seiner Art werde ich nie verstehen. IMO war es "nur" gut und nicht mehr und mir gefiel das Three Way Leitermatch bei WrestleMania2000 sowie das SummerSlam TLC Match vom Ablauf her einfach besser."
[10.0] "Es war ein sehr geniales Match, keine Minute wurde es langweilig. Die Mischung aus Brawler, Techniker und Highflyer war in diesem Match sehr gelungen."
[10.0] "Wirklich der Hammer. Viele, schöne Highlights in diesem Match. Die 3D-Szene gegen Lita war echt amazing. Soll jetzt natürlich nicht heißen, dass das andere nicht gut war. Wenn ich da an den Spear oder die Swanton denke..... uuuuhh. Trust Me."
[10.0] "Genauso Genial wie das erste. Nur Edge und Christian 2mal hintereinander Sieger finde ich ist nicht so toll. Aber doch muss man sagen, dass der erste einen Tick besser war. Krasse Leistung von allen 6."
[10.0] "Das Rating geht m. E. in Ordnung. Alle Parteien sorgten von Beginn an für ein spannendes und zugleich temporeiches Match, das viele gute Spots beinhaltete. Der Spear von Edge gegen Jeff war wohl der heftigste und wird auch immer wieder gerne gezeigt. Genauso wie das Summerslam Match ein Klassiker."
[10.0] "Ja ja, den Spear von Edge gegen Jeff Hardy könnte ich mir auch immer wieder aufs Neue ansehen - einfach nur ganz großer Sport! Vielleicht war es ein bisschen schlechter als das TLC Match vom Summerslam, aber auch hier ist die volle Punktzahl ein absolutes MUSS!"
[10.0] "Das war ein richtig geiles Match. Das aller erste Match war zwar besser aber wer kenn nicht den Spear von Edge gegen Jeff am Titel Gürtel? Sensationel"
