These were ladder matches where a dangerous weapon hung above the ring rather than a championship. Whoever was first to retrieve it was free to use it on their opponent. No Mercy was the first time teams were involved in a ladder match. These six men looked to stand out from the rest of the roster, creating a strong bond between audience and performer thanks to the risks the wrestlers took in these bouts.
At WrestleMania , all three teams collided in the first-ever Triangle Ladder match. That same year, they all battled for the tag team championships in the first TLC match. They channeled their inner Evel Knieval and provided fans with a surplus of insane moments.
They crashed through tables from great heights and hit their finishers from atop a ladder. It was a match scattered across the WWE calendar. San Antonio, Tex. Big Show and Jericho for the tag titles headlined. That and concerns over concussions had the chair portion of the bouts toned down. Direct chair shots to the head are a thing of the past, the Curry's favorite piece of furniture now targeted an opponent's midsection.
The added stipulation to the match was that "anything metal is legal", though this only included the use of Abyss' trademark chain and bag of tacks. In reality, anything is legal; it's just that TNA provides tables, ladders, chairs and chains. Abyss was never granted such title shot, and the story was retconned to state he lost his title shot to A.

WWE booked the match as part of the storyline since Edge had a strong reputation for the stipulation and wanted the advantage over his hated rival. Undertaker did his best to have a great TLC match and their heated rivalry helped tell the story.
Edge ended up winning the match, but fans were most impressed with Undertaker keeping up. The match helped set the stage for a future Hell in a Cell match later in the summer. Both wrestlers represented completely different fans as the polar opposite characters, but Punk turned complete heel by going all in on the straight edge elitist gimmick.
The feud culminated at Summerslam in a TLC match. Hardy once again put his body on the line with some intense high-risk moves. Punk eventually won out to become the top heel on Smackdown by grabbing the title to win the highly entertaining match. Kane scored one of the biggest victories of his career winning this match without his partner. The issues started at the top of the year when trading the WWE Championship and continued in the summer.

The same six men were in the third installment alongside those who would end up defeating them, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. Jeff Hardy, Bubba Ray and Christian were each paired with a different partner than the previous three encounters. For the first couple of years, the tag team division ruled over the TLC match. For some reason, WWE shelved the concept for over three years following this contest. The next few years saw the stipulation used solely for one-on-one encounters, with Edge competing in three out of four of them.
Edge had competed in six out of the seven total TLC matches up to this point. It clearly took a toll on his body, so he was probably happy when he found out he was not part of the CM Punk vs.
