WWE WrestleMania Mixtape: Booking The Perfect ’Mania

9. Best Intercontinental Title Match

Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania X
WWE.com

Percentage Of Votes: 37.8%.

Other Choices: Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat ('Mania III - 27.8%), 'Mania 31's Ladder Match (21.9%), Seth Rollins vs. The Miz vs. Finn Bálor ('Mania 34 - 12.4%).

A full 10% was between 'Mania X's Ladder epic and the astounding Savage vs. Steamboat corker from 'Mania III. Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon got the nod from social media, probably because of the ladder gimmick, but it's deserved. Both put on a clinic that night and set the blueprint for bump-heavy ladder-based bouts to come.

Nostalgia was strong throughout the list in some categories, and this was a chief example of that. Seeing Michaels soar through the air and Ramon stand atop the ladder with both Intercontinental Title belts was a memory few could resist.

Go and watch it now.
