    Even though Jeff didn't win the wwe title until years later, I truly beleive that it was THIS ladder match that actually created the cult following of fans and was the catalyst to really go ALL IN on a jeff hardy singles push. 2000s release aside, I'm glad they capitalised on Jeff's momentum when he came back as no one had forgotten or lost interest in him in the slightest.

    An absolutely great match. And a true testament to Undertaker and his ability to work with really anyone and put them over. If I remember correctly, Undertaker won that match, but Jeff put on such a good performance and put up such a good fight against Taker that he earned Taker’s respect. Which was reflected at the end of the match.

    This is why I am such an UNDERTAKER fan. And Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. And the Hardy*s. And this was a rare moment where UNDERTAKER broke character. And was the beginning of what turned him face. A lot of people think he turned face that night. But he broke character for John Cena and Randy Orton why being a heel. But then he went back. To me he turned face the night after Vengeance in 2002. And being attacked by the Un Americans really turned him face. And he gave one of the best face promos on the August 19, 2002 episode of Raw.

      I'm glad I wasn't tripping here. Cause I could've sworn the week before they had a regular one on one match, Undertaker won, and Hardy told him that how about a ladder match the next week.

    He’s only ever had 2 ladder matches in his entire career if I’m not mistaken - one as Big Evil and one as The Deadman⚱️
