RIPPA Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Seems as good a time as any God I really wish Kurt wasn't crazy http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e6zju_kurt-angle-vs-brock-lesnar-wwe-championship-match-wrestlemania-xix_sport 2
Biz Smarkie Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Holy shit! i was actually at that MCW show. I never knew any footage of it existed, There was also a pretty swank AmDrag/Regal match that I've talked about previously on this board. V Sabu
Biz Smarkie Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I still think this is the best moment of the whole shitty post Attitude ]era of the WWE. JR still ruled when he wanted too.
jstout Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 That Angle-Edge match pretty much really started Edge toward the top of the card. Always thought his selling was too spotty. His "American Hero" clueless heel character was pretty boss. Angle-Lesnar at Wrestlemania was quite the spectacle. Their Iron Man match on Smackdown was not good. I've heard great things about Angle-Joe (still haven't watched it yet), but how many "classic matches still talked about to this day in hushed tones" was he involved in? Know what I mean? Angle-Joe has that kind of hype. I guess you could say solid MOTY candidates. Angle-Edge was good for really helping make Edge. I'm not saying he's overrated (maybe just a teeny bit so), but I've never understood Meltzer's boundless enthusiasm for the guy.
Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 What's the general concensus here on the Mania 21 match with Michaels? I absolutely loved it at the time but I haven't seen it since it aired live.
The Comedian Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 What's the general concensus here on the Mania 21 match with Michaels? I absolutely loved it at the time but I haven't seen it since it aired live. It's a great match...Shawn using pro wrestling grappling (via the repeated side headlock takedowns) at the beginning to offset Kurt's amateur grappling skills is pretty cool, and the overall story of whether or not Kurt over-scouted the superkick while underestimating the rest of HBK's arsenal works well..
odessasteps Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 One of my favorite Kurt segments, prob thanks to the ABC Olympics music.
twiztor Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Angle vs Shane (street fight @ king of the ring 2001) is one of my favorite matches ever. i know people around here hate Shane going toe-to-toe with a professional athlete and all that, but i never had a problem with him, and this match is the epitome of that.
RIPPA Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2u6hif_john-cena-battle-rap-with-kurt-angle_fun The VQ is terrible on most of them but you get the point
RIPPA Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 No Cena vs Tazz? Why would I post that in the Kurt Angle thread?
Jingus Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Why are the good WWE matches NEVER available in decent quality? I wanted to post Austin vs. Angle at Summerslam '01, but Youtube's only copy looks like dogshit and I'm tired of posting stinky Dailymotion links in this folder. Ditto with that one really awesome match he had with Flair on Raw. Sigh... oh well, here he is proving that Kane can actually have some damned fine, exciting non-gimmick matches: And oh yeah, around 2001, Kurt Angle was the best fucking wrestler in the entire fucking world. It's funny how disdainful a lot of smarks are for him, since almost everyone who's ever actually wrestled him has basically said that he's one of the all-time bests, if not THE best. (Same deal with guys from Shawn Michaels to Dean Malenko to Jerry Lynn, actually.) Kinda reminds me of the old days when Lance Storm and our members here had silly arguments all based on the fact that they defined the word "worker" differently.
muhammedboehm Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 No Cena vs Tazz? Why would I post that in the Kurt Angle thread? Dang it I thought I edited it to Angle vs Tazz but I guess I didn't
Jenalysis Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I would have loved to seen Angle work for Bill Watts.
Curt McGirt Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Aw man, now I'm thinking of prime Angle vs. Dr. Death. Not that I'm some huge Angle fan honestly (there are a thousand matches of his I haven't watched but him vs. Benoit was one of my favorite things ever) but those two getting all amateur style before laying in the bombs with Watts and JR marking out on commentary would have been gold.
Web Conn Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 vs Chris Jericho vs The Rock vs Steve Austin vs Booker T vs Shelton Benjamin
Web Conn Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 vs Samoa Joe vs Sting vs Christian Cage vs Sting vs Sting vs Mick Foley vs Jeff Jarrett vs Sting vs Matt Morgan vs AJ Styles vs Hernandez

Angle working heel like that while Bill Watts was wondering what went wrong, with the eventual face turn against the evil foreigners would have been a great storyline, and I can also imagine the backstage fighting, as I'm sure Angle's concept of working would run into someone who would try and make him understand the hard way. Angle/prime Vader would have been awesome as well. Kurt would have tried to find new ways to kill himself.
jstout Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Good call. Bret in his Mr. Canada days vs. all-American Olympic medalist Angle? Ka-ching!
Don Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I remember he did a Buff Blockbuster once. That was cool.
