One of only two WrestleMania matches to score five stars on Dave "Tokyo Dome" Meltzer's infamous ratings scale, it's far more notable in that it pioneered the ladder match in WWE.

Hanging above the ring were two Intercontinental Championship belts. Two claimed the title, but only one man could be the real champion.

With only one ladder in the match, it was actually more of a combination of a classic wrestling match with some elements of a modern ladder match, but all the tropes that stars like the Hardy Boyz would later make famous evolved from this contest, from the use of the ladder as a weapon to the spots performed while climbing on and off the ladder (except maybe for Razor Ramon pulling down Shawn Michaels' pants).

Ultimately, with Shawn Michaels' leg wrapped up in the ropes, Razor Ramon would climb the bent and brutalized ladder to get the victory, with the crowd roaring its delight.
