#7. Shawn Michaels (c) vs. Razor Ramon, Intercontinental title - Wrestlemania X
Contrary to popular belief, the Wrestlemania X bout between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels was NOT the first Ladder Match in WWE history.

That honor goes to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart, who had the first ever ladder match in 1992. However, most will agree that this second Ladder Match is far and away superior.

In 1994, gimmick matches in WWE were a relative rarity. When WWE booked this match between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels, they didn't know they were going to make history.
The two men--who are friends in real life--pushed each other to the limits professionally. Even today, the match still stands out for its choreography, story telling, and sheer brutality. Razor Ramon picked up the win, and the championship, but HBK found victory in defeat; He would be elevated to main event player shortly thereafter.
Despite all the high octane action surrounding the money-in-the-bank ladder matches that are ever so popular these days, it is matches like these that led to the former becoming what it is today.
