10 Outstanding Wrestling Matches That Ended Without Finishers

1. Shawn Michaels Vs Razor Ramon (WWE WrestleMania X)

Ending without a finish was probably the least of Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon's concerns when constructing this instant classic. Endings in general didn't look on the agenda considering the bumps they were taking - this was all about new beginnings.

Ladder matches pre-dated WrestleMania X and became prevalent in its aftermath, but Ramon's victory had little to do with his Razor's Edge.

The pair took years off of their careers (and off of those that would mimic and multiply the danger in the years that followed) with a series of stunts that were psychologically sound and significantly ahead their time. Yet it fell to a simple fall from grace to decide the match.

'The Bad Guy' shoving 'The Heartbreak Kid' from the ladder into the ropes was enough to entangle the challenger. Razor subsequently raced up one last time and claim both his and Michaels' fraudulent Intercontinental Championship. It wasn't just epic, but economical - the pair had taken more than enough damage to their backs and knees by then anyway.
