Better Kurt Angle match: vs HBK at WM21 or Benoit at RR03

[ClutchVon]

I always see these 2 matches being pinpointed as the top 2 matches of Kurt’s career. Which do you think was better?

 

[Lurk Angle]

Both

I honestly never loved the Angle/HBK matches. I was blown away by the RR03 match though; thought he and Benoit had great chemistry

 

[Starboy52]

Benoit. Honestly... wasn’t fukking with Shawn’s matches with Kurt. I don’t know why

 

[Nero Christ]

here's both matches



Benoit/Angle was more technically sound while Angle/Michaels was more epic which gives it more replay value. However, the Benoit/Angle match had the better overall story coming into it with their tag team/feud and it being championship match helped. Tough choice but I'd go with Angle/Benoit.

The Benoit match. You could argue No Way Out 06’ against Taker is Angle’s best match as well

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Kurt had a better match with Michaels at wm 21. More entertaining to watch.

That Kurt vs taker at nwo should've been the main event at mania that same year.

I always see these 2 matches being pinpointed as the top 2 matches of Kurt’s career.

kurt's best matches are in TNA.

 

[HipHopStan]

The Royal Rumble match for me, even due to the circumstances behind it all now. HBK/Angle is still a pretty solid match and a Wrestlemania classic.

The Rumble match. The HBK matches were following in the footsteps of the formula of the Rumble match. Both retroactively get points taken away from Kurt making it the basis for ALL of his matches going forward, to the point where he was doing the same layout with TNA bums a decade later while paralyzed.

Benoit. Random but it’s crazy that his match with HBK didn’t have one German duplex
