After we talked about the greatest wrestler of all time in Ric Flair it’s now time to talk about someone who took professional wrestling like a fish to water and he was an Olympic Gold medalist when he came to WWE and Vince McMahon saw the next big star of WWE in him and decided that he will push him and Kurt Angle showed that he was more than ready for the big push. Kurt Angle came in 1998 and for the next decade he had an amazing career and he had some all time great Matches against various types of Superstars and he elevated all the others who were in the ring with him.
Kurt Angle was someone whom all those people who came from the outside world and took to WWE took as a role model and everyone wanted to be like him. Kurt Angle was the standard bearer of WWE for years and the sheer quality of matches he has had in his career can rival the best of the best and I have been lucky to see some of his brilliance live on Television. So, let’s see which are the Top 5 Best WWE Matches of Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 21)
There can be no other match at the number 1 spot because Kurt Angle did not have a better wrestling match than this all time classic he had with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 21. It was literally a dream match for all the fans as the two best wrestlers in the company were going at it at the biggest stage of the year. They told such a great story that the fans were loving every second of it and the near falls in this match were so good. These two stole the show at that WrestleMania and no one else had a shot of having a better match than these two. Shawn Michaels was back after a layoff and was in his element. Unfortunately I was not able to watch this live but thanks to the WWE network I saw this and was just gobsmacked and especially the finish was one of the very best ever.
