#6 Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon – SummerSlam 1995

In what could definitely be called a lackluster year both in terms of creativity and execution, the SummerSlam 1995 Ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon quite literally saved ‘The Biggest Party of the Summer’.

The summer months of 1995 saw both men become popular babyfaces. Michaels captured the Intercontinental title by defeating Jeff Jarrett and went on to defend it against Razor Ramon at SummerSlam.

With two ladders in play this time, Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon put up an underrated classic which almost came close to their WrestleMania X clash. Ramon worked the match mostly as a heel, repeatedly targeting Michaels’ knees, but the latter emerged victorious in the end amid vivid displays of agonizing pain.

The Intercontinental title was successfully defended and Shawn Michaels had avenged the loss to his real-life close friend.

The match saw Michaels and Ramon both continue in their course to pioneer the ladder match, and once again, they changed things completely for the industry with their use of the ladders as weapons.
