WrestleMania 10 (March 20, 1994 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY)

Another fairly early installment in WrestleMania history, WrestleMania 10 is easily most remembered for the iconic Ladder Match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Which, let’s be clear, is absolutely as good as the hype indicates it is.

Michaels and Ramon gave us a truly spectacular match – and one that holds up over 25 years later. Little else is often mentioned about WrestleMania 10, but that’s not because everything else on the show was terrible.

While unfortunately short, we do get a brief WWE Women’s Championship Match between Leilani Kai and Alundra Blayze. We also get some hilarious early 1990s nonsense as they had a Bill Clinton impersonator at the event pretending to be then-President Clinton, who was interviewed briefly and had a short confrontation with Irwin R. Schyster.

There’s also a chaotic Falls Count Anywhere Match between Randy Savage and Crush, with the weird stipulation that after a fall, the competitor has 60 seconds to get back into the ring or their opponent will be declared the winner. There are also performances by veterans like Bam Bam Bigelow, Luna Vachon, Doink the Clown, Yokozuna, and more.

However, the gem that gets most overlooked was the very first match of the night. Everyone talks about Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon, but the wrestling highlight of WrestleMania 10 was a 20-minute clinic between Owen Hart and Bret Hart as the night’s opening contest.
