Kurt Angle’s Top 10 WWE Matches

5. vs. The Undertaker – No Way Out 2006

My 2006 match of the year, Angle and Taker tore the house down in this 30-minute classic at the No Way Out pay per view.  For Angle, the match took place during his 6th and final run as World champion in the WWE as he’d be out of the company 6 months later.  He had at least one trick left in his basket and proved why he was and will always be one of the most cerebral wrestlers of all time.

Taking on The Deadman is always a daunting task but Angle was more than up for the challenge.  He went at his opponent with his normal ferocity, targeting Taker’s legs in anticipation of the Ankle Lock.  But Angle had his hands full as Taker went at him with reckless abandon in pursuit of his fifth world title. Like the ending or hate it with Angle pinning Taker while trapped in the Hell’s Gate submission, Undertaker lost nothing in defeat, and Angle cemented himself among the best of all time.

At 38 years old and with 8 years of high-quality pro wrestling under his belt, Angle clearly showed that he had plenty left in the tank and proved the WWE’s decision to let him walk away was a terrible one.
