Ranking 10 WWE Matches That Turned Wrestlers Into Superstars

10. Shawn Michaels Vs. Razar Ramon - Ladder Match (WrestleMania X)

Shawn Michaels earned the moniker "Mr. WrestleMania" by being a perennial highlight of wrestling's biggest showcase. After all, when you're the best thing about WWE's biggest night, people take notice. So it's fitting that HBK's big jump to superstardom occurred at the show, with the tenth iteration where the world was treated to his first truly special 'Mania match.

Sandwiched between two WWE Championship matches that are barely remembered today, Michaels and Razor Ramon delivered a high-flying and unusual (for the time) hit parade that had the crowd rocking the whole way through.

While it's true that the wildest spots of the night look pedestrian by today's standards -- even the iconically photographed splash was only delivered from two-thirds of the way up the ladder -- this was uncharted territory for WWE, and these two deserve a lot of credit for their innovation.

Going into the match, Michaels' in-ring abilities were incontestable, but his cocky Heartbreak Kid persona hadn't fully caught on with audiences. (The ladies seemed to like it, but the rest of WWE fans were split.) The best way to get the fans on your side is to give them something special in the ring. This 5-star rated "Match of the Year" -- according to Dave Meltzer and Pro Wrestling Illustrated, respectively -- accomplished that in spades.
