1. Razor Ramon Vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 10)
The match that launched a million imitators, inspired stuntman bumpers and backyard enthusiasts the world over, and proved that both winner and loser can ascend up the card equally. Long before audiences were burnt out on the appeal of ladder matches, in 1994 they were oblivious to what awe-inducing innovation lay ahead. Michaels and his spring-loaded body were about to make them care. Indeed, Ramon jacks Michaels' jaw and sends him flying like a ragdoll throughout the wild contest. The most famous image remains Michaels' graceful descent from atop a ladder, understandably drawing oohs and ahhs for the splash. Ramon would win once Michaels was entangled in the ropes, but it was the Heartbreak Kid that proved his long-term value as a main eventer that could do most anything.
