World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs Jeff Hardy - Extreme Rules 2009 Ladder Match

 

The swan song for the Edge character he is most known for. After this, he would be injured within and then brought back as a babyface to finish out his career, which was an odd fit for him. It is fitting his last major match as a heel is against Jeff Hardy in a ladder match. Unfortunately, it is a very boring ladder match. The three spots that stood out were Twist of Fate in mid-air (didn't look that great), both falling off a ladder and breaking ladder, and then Hardy front suplexing Edge on the hinges of the ladder, which looked wicked painful and wins spot of the match. The finish was creative with Jeff pulling Edge through rungs of the ladder so he was trapped and forced to watch his archrival ascend the ladder and capture his World Championship. Very pedestrian. The CM Punk cash-in was great and I loved the CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy feud. Loved so much we bought Summerslam that year and I look forward to rewatching that match and the matches that lead up to the Summerslam match. Avoid this match and watch the Judgment Day one.
