WrestleZone’s Top Ten: Gimmick Matches

By Josh Isenberg

Number 1: Ladder Match

Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels. Christian. Edge. C.M. Punk. Scott Hall. Jeff Hardy. All of these men created their legacies by shining in a Ladder Match. A basic ladder that is used as a weapon and as the way to reach greatness. Whether you are reaching for a Championship Belt or a Championship opportunity, the Ladder Match has sparked new ideas much like Cage matches have done. Money in the Bank and TLC are created because of their creator, the Ladder Match. We all remember great and awe inspiring moments, like Shawn Michaels splashing onto Razor Ramon, or the Swanton Bomb connecting from heaven. We have seen legacies built and athletes turn into superstars. I will always think the Ladder Match is number 1. It is always an important match, one with pain and skill. You have to be a specific wrestler to shine in this match. Athleticism, skill, and the concentration of perfection are three keys to success. You can climb to greatness, climb to the Hall of Fame in this match. Ladder Matches will always be the best gimmick matches in my mind.
