WrestleMania Rewind : Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X

The granddaddy of them all, WrestleMania is just about a month away. The anticipation for the extravaganza is sky high among the WWE Universe. And since the pay-per-view is richer than Richie rich when it comes to history, we have decided to take a look back at some of the best WrestleMania matches with this latest series.Over the last thirty years, WWE fans have witnessed some great WrestleMania matches. The ladder match between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X ranks right up there as one of the bests.It was the first major ladder match in the WWE and it turned out to be the best one as well. With that said, here is another look at this classic between Michaels and Ramon. 

#1 The buildup

Almost all the other matches in this series came because of WWE’s creative team but this one was different. This match was a direct effect of Michaels and his bad boy attitude back in the mid-90s.

Michaels decided to walk out of the company in 1994 when he was having a run as the Intercontinental champion. The reason for his walk out is still a paradox as there are many rumors out there. Some suggest that he was tested positive for steroids while others suggest that he did not want to drop the championship.

Either way, WWE booked a battle royal to determine the new champion. Razor Ramon went on to win the match and became the new champion. Michaels however returned eventually and claimed to be the champion.

He carried the gold around since he never lost it and ignored the achievement of Ramon. Since there were two champions, WWE decided to settle the dispute once and for all at WrestleMania.

And to raise the bar, the company made it a ladder match so that the rightful owner would reach out and grab the title in the end.
