Ending their incredible triangle tag team feud with a third and final match that took place exactly one year after the first, TLC II -- the sequel between The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian, failed to disappoint. All three teams once again put their lives on the line, figuratively and almost literally, for fan enjoyment at one of the greatest Wrestle Mania events ever.

With the rest of the match being littered with countless table slams and chairshots, Edge sealed the deal and created one of the greatest WWE moments ever when he shockingly speared a dangling Jeff Hardy from the top of ladder to the ring below.

The end of this trilogy of matches meant that WWE was in new territory in regards to creating shocking, insane moments. The sheer ground breaking nature of TLC I & II was a harbinger of the extreme action that was to come during the early-mid 2000s Ruthless Aggression era. It's arguable that it was even a blueprint.
