After the dilution of ladder matches through overuse and over-complication, some modern fans might wonder why this match was so damn special. In 1994, nothing like Michaels' human pinball act was really seen throughout the wrestling business, especially when Ramon was jacking his jaw with a metal ladder. Even today, the match holds up as a masterpiece in timing and planning.

Every single spot leads to the next. There are no convoluted risks and stunts for the sake of popping the crowd. Instead, Ramon and Michaels perform bold and daring moves inside of their characters, building to the next noteworthy moment. Michaels' willingness to pulverize his body in the name of a great match is hardly surprising, and he's never more brilliantly intuitive than he was here.
