#1 Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania X)

This contest stands undisputed as the best ladder match in WWE history and, in the eyes of quite a few, one of the greatest WWE matches of all time.

In late 1993 and early 1994, Shawn Michaels, having been stripped of his Intercontinental Championship, was chasing Razor Ramon, who had won the vacant belt fair and square; earning the title opportunity by co-winning a battle royal alongside Rick Martel before beating the Canadian one-on-one afterwards.

Michaels, having never lost his title in a match, claimed to still be the 'true' and 'real' IC Champion, so it seemed that a collision between the Heartbreak Kid and the Bad Guy was unavoidable. It happened in 1994 at Wrestlemania 10.

While the ongoing saga with the WWE Title between Bret Hart, Lex Luger and Yokozuna claimed the main event that year, this ladder match would have been a more than adequate main event at MSG. With Michaels' bodyguard, Diesel, ejected from ringside after interfering, Ramon eventually triumphed after Shawn had tangled himself in the ropes.

Simply stunning, and a moment that could have been the perfect finale for the 10 annual Showcase of the Immortals.
