#4 Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels (c) vs. the Bad Guy Razor Ramon--Ladder Match
The Time: March 20, 1994

The Place: Wrestlemania X Madison Square Garden, New York, New York.

The Angle: IC strap holder Shawn Michaels was 'suspended' by the WWE (in reality he was nursing an injury) and Razor Ramon won the title in the interim. When HBK came back, he claimed to be the 'real' IC champion because he never lost the belt.
Obviously there could not be two IC champions, so the stage was set to determine who would be the undisputed champion. Both title belts were suspended above the ring, and the first man to scale a ladder and retrieve them would be recognized as the one, true IC champion.
Why it's considered to be great: For one thing, this was the first ever ladder match in WWE history. Razor and HBK put on an innovative, never before seen match up with sheer brutality and death defying falls as its hallmark. The finish is spectacular, as Razor toppled the ladder when HBK was inches away from winning. Michaels got tangled up in the ropes after racking his crotch on them, and Razor easily scaled the ladder and won the bout.
