WrestleZone’s Top Ten: Ladder Matches

December 9, 2011

Number 2: Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels: WrestleMania X

Call him by any nickname you want, but Shawn Michael is simply the creator of the ladder match. He, along with a powerful and exciting Razon Ramon, would give MSG their first, but not last, memorable Ladder Match. This was technically the second ladder match ever, but was the first to gain exposure and popularity. Michaels and Ramon would raise a match to new heights, create something that would be used and altered for years to come. With an incredible body splash onto Ramon, we were in awe. Our jaws dropped, our eyes widened, and our minds expanded into this new idea. This began so many other match types. The innovators of the Ladder Match, Michaels and Ramon deserve the number 2 spot in this top ten for everything they have done for so many other superstars.
