4. Intercontinental Ladder Match (WrestleMania 31)

Not exactly a match that showcases Rhodes for his individual efforts, but it deserves a spot just for making an Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania mean something again. Seven men were crammed into one ladder match, a subtle callback to when WrestleMania was guaranteed at least one great match thanks to Money in the Bank exhibitions.

Rhodes, as Stardust, held up his end of the madcap chaos that took place, even if he wasn't exactly memorable outside of his frilly entrance attire. Wade Barrett (another recent "please just let me leave" guy) superplexed Rhodes off of a ladder during the middle portion, just one of many crazy spots during a very enjoyable match. Between them and winner Daniel Bryan, that's 43 percent of the match that no longer wrestles for the company.
