Highlights include the historic Shawn Michael vs. Razor Ramon match from Wrestlemania X, The Rock vs. Mankind from Raw 15th Anniversary, 3 Count vs. Jung Dragons from New Blood Rising 2000, another tag match between Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boyz from Raw in 2000, Team Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri from Judgment Day 2003, The Hardy Boyz vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team from One Night Stand 2007, John Morrison vs. Sheamus from TLC 2010 and many, many more. There really isn't a bad match here, though a few of the early to mid-1990s bouts obviously don't rely on non-stop highlights as much. All things considered, this is a worthy follow-up to The Ladder Match and has plenty of replay value...so if you enjoyed the first installment, this sequel should be right up your alley.

On the technical side of things, this three-disc set is generally on par with modern WWE compilations: production values are decent and most of the original content is still intact (save for mentions of the "WWF" name, both verbally and the "Attitude Era" scratch logo). Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio and enhanced for 16x9 displays, Ladder Match 2 isn't quite on par with other like-minded WWE DVD releases...even taking the age of certain matches into account. While the main documentary and the most recent matches (2008-current) generally look good and utilize the maximum resolution of the frame, everything else suffers a bit more than usual. These 1.33:1 matches are thankfully uncropped, but they are windowboxed; vintage WCW matches look especially soft, and there's a noticeable level of compression artifacts from start to finish. With that said, these source material and digital issues have affected every WWE DVD I've seen thus far, so it's not surprising.

The audio is presented in 5.1 Dolby Surround and 2.0 depending on the match; likewise, it's similar in quality to other recent WWE releases. Crowd noise and regular play-by-play commentary come through loud and clear, creating a satisfying soundstage overall. Again, newer matches obviously sound a bit cleaner and more well-defined, but this is strictly a source material issue. Optional subtitles, Spanish commentary or Closed Captions are not offered during any of the content, unfortunately.

Ladder Match 2: Crash and Burn is another top-tier WWE compilation filled with several hours of action, danger and excitement. This mixture of new and vintage matches offers something for wrestling fans of all ages, while the additional history segments do a good job of keeping things in perspective. WWE's three-disc package serves up a decent technical presentation, though the separate Blu-Ray edition also includes a handful of bonus matches. Either way, you can bet that Ladder Match 2 delivers plenty of bang for your buck...not to mention tons of replay value. Highly Recommended.
