#11 NXT North American Championship Ladder Match - NXT Takeover : New Orleans (2018)

A modern-day classic

Whilst Shawn Michaels' incredible bout with Razor Ramon was an old-school classic, the NXT North American Championship Ladder match made the gimmick bout even more proud by taking the fans to a hellacious ride of entertainment and wrestling.

It's pretty difficult for the company to replicate what these six men did inside the squared circle under Triple H's experential supervision, and delivered a modern-day masterpiece for generations to remember.

Considering the encounter involved some of the biggest independent stars, with King Ricochet and EC3 making a blockbuster NXT debut; especially Ricochet that brought the house down with his athleticism, ever since the bell rang.

The NXT creative were successful in portraying all characters very strongly, with Lars Sullivan and Killian Dain bringing their undeniable strength against guys like Adam Cole that are masterminds of offensive innovation, and Velveteen Dream that will do anything in his power to be recognized.

This encounter makes the Ladder match gimmick so proud. A lot of the credit for ascending the stature of this match goes to the NXT Universe that completely took over and catapulted all these stars' credibility and made the match- a must watch.

A significant reason why this bout remains one of my favorite matches of all time is because all the participants involved in the bout literally tore each other out to justify their supremacy, and that is very rare in professional wrestling nowadays.

Six top guys in the industry with distinct characters fighting it out for the inaugural North American Championship, and just by their collaboration; they were successful in elevating the prestige and credibility of the title in question. This should not be missed.

Ladders being used as a weapon, high quality of athleticism, interaction of dynamic personalities, and Adam Cole's mastermind tactics were all influential in making us all believe that the future is in the right hands.
