Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon — WrestleMania X
This was WWE’s first ever high-profile Ladder Match that set a standard for the contest, which many believe still has yet to be matched. Shawn Michaels was no longer the Intercontinental Championship, Razor Ramon took that title in 1993. So the officials of WWE took it upon themselves to announce that the only way to determine which one of two was a true champion was to suspend each title over the ring and declare the first star to climb the ladder and retrieve them was the undisputed Intercontinental Champion. This was unlike any fight to grace the stage. The two men battled it out with sheer force and will, they smashed into one another and tumbled from great heights. Ultimately, Razor Ramon was victorious and everyone at Madison Square Garden stood to their feet, thus inspiring future generations of daredevil Superstars.
