Kurt Angle Reveals What He Believes To Be The Greatest WWE Match Of All Time

WWE

Kurt Angle has revealed what he believes to be the greatest WWE match of all time.

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle is regarded by many as one of the greatest in-ring performers in the history of the business.

The Olympic Gold Medalist has put on a litany of classic encounters against the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H and Rey Mysterio.

However, Angle believes there is one match that stands above the rest of his career and in the history of professional wrestling.

During a Q&A session at Steel City Con (via Fandom Spotlite), Kurt Angle was asked what one of his matches stands out the most to him. He said:

“Oh, God. This is hard for me to say [some of his favorite matches], but my favorite match of all time was actually against Chris Benoit at the Royal Rumble 2003.”

“He reminded me of me. He had the same intensity. He had the, you know, the same build, same athleticism. And, when we got together, it was a war, really intense matches.”

“But the other matches that I really enjoyed, one was when it was supposed to be at WrestleMania, but Vince McMahon didn’t want to do it because this guy had an undefeated streak, and he didn’t want me to break it.”

“And it was Undertaker No Way Out 2006. I had a really good match with him. That was really special. And especially saying that about a big guy, you know, Undertaker was a 300-pounder, seven foot tall.”

“And to have a match like that with a guy that big is pretty incredible. And that just tells you how good Undertaker was.”

Angle continued on to reveal the one match that stands out as the greatest of all time, saying:

“But the other match, one of my favorites, was Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 21. I really believe, in my mind, it was the greatest match of all time. Shawn and I just clicked.”

“And the crazy thing is, we never worked before that, we never had a match together. And, during the week, we were supposed to, like, get in the ring and practice moves and stuff. We didn’t do any of that.”

“We never even tied up. And to have that kind of chemistry with Shawn that shows how good Shawn was.”

“I mean, everybody considers him the greatest superstar of all time, and I believe he is. He’s that good because he’s never had a bad match.”

“He’s had an incredible match with everybody, and that just shows you how good he is.”
