In his WrestleMania catalog, many fans remember Kurt Angle‘s bouts against the likes of Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, and his final against Baron Corbin. According to the WWE Hall of Famer himself, though, there is one that doesn’t get as much attention, perhaps as it should.
During a recent interview with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Angle discussed the respective match, which pitted him against Eddie Guerrero at WWE WrestleMania 20, with the WWE Championship on the line.
The match was recently named to WWE’s list of 50 Greatest WrestleMania Matches Ever.
“That match was overshadowed by an amazing main event between Triple H, Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels,” Angle said. “That triple threat was probably the best triple threat I ever saw in my life. Eddie and I had a five-star match. We really did, but because of that match being on last and Eddie and my match being next to last, we weren’t the main event. Even though we were co-main event along with the other three, but that match was just wow. I think it overshadowed our match, which was pretty incredible too.”
Kurt Angle Recalls Finish Of Him vs. Guerrero
As Kurt Angle alluded to, the WrestleMania 20 main event saw Chris Benoit defeat Triple H and Shawn Michaels for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, with Guerrero and the crowd celebrating with him afterward. About an hour before that, Guerrero successfully defended the WWE Championship against Angle, courtesy of a frenzied roll-up.
“Eddie came up with this lie, cheat and steal finish, that was just awesome, where he pulled his boot off and I had the Ankle Lock on him,” Angle recalled. “He’s able to slide his foot out of the boot, and I ended up holding the boot in my hand. I charged at him and he rolled me up and pinned me, one, two, three real quick. It was kind of a lie, cheat steal, finish and it worked extremely well. At the same time, it protected me because I didn’t lose legitimately. That match was just an incredible match that I absolutely loved. It’s in my top three.”
