For over a quarter of a century, Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels have been celebrated amongst friends and peers for their awe-inspiring efforts at WrestleMania X.

They got each other over, they got the importance of the Intercontinental Championship over, and arguably more significantly than both of those, they got the ladder match itself over. It was not this ra-ra speech they received when they got back through the curtain.

The contest was suitably and necessarily epic, but they'd either accidentally or wilfully gone over their allotted time for the night, and industry and company legend Randy Savage was going to let them know about it. He chewed them out not just for respecting the restrictions placed upon them, but because the additional minutes of pay-per-view time they'd swallowed up resulting in a 10-man tag team match being pulled at the very last minute.

10 (big) paycheques lost because of some over-indulgence was a crime Savage deemed them worthy of being punished for. Rungs on ladders don't go as high as the levels to this game.
