Sure now it wouldn't be seen as so awesome. But you have to remember this was in 1994, it was a different story then, just imagine you'd never seen a ladder involved in a wrestling match before, then HBK/Ramon do some spots with it you've never seen - you'd mark out, as most people would. Like loopydate said the match itself was good too and it wasn't all about high-spots.
I agree with you though, if that match happened now it would be seen as a
match, but then it was a
match.
