10 underappreciated WWE Matches

#9 Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler – TLC 2014

Harper’s head is smashed against a ladder

Looking back, 2014 was possibly the best year of Dolph Ziggler's career. He held the Intercontinental Title on multiple occasions, became the sole survivor in the main event of Survivor Series and was arguably the biggest babyface on the roster at one stage, John Cena aside.

To open the final PPV of the year, Ziggler took on the bizarre Luke Harper in a Ladder Match to try and reclaim the coveted IC Title. What followed was one of the best Ladder Matches put on by WWE in recent history, one that has sadly been forgotten by most, mainly due to the relative lack of success enjoyed by both participants since then.

Both men pulled out all the stops to produce something truly special, with Ziggler and Harper both bleeding by the end of the match. On what has to be considered one of the worst editions of the TLC PPV ever produced, Ziggler vs. Harper was the one match that saved the show from being a total disaster.

When Ziggler finally ascended the ladder and retrieved the title, the pop from the crowd nearly took the roof off. It was a match that really did deserve to live long in the memories of the WWE Universe.
