WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has been a part of several iconic matches during his illustrious pro-wrestling career. ‘The Olympic Gold Medalist’ stated that he gave the WWE legend The Undertaker one of, if not the best match of his career when they faced off at No Way Out in 2006.
The Phenom and Angle squared off for one of the last times in their careers at the WWE No Way Out pay-per-view in 2006 when the latter was the World Heavyweight Champion. Angle had retained his title when he countered The Deadman’s submission hold to extend his World Title reign.
Kurt Angle recalls the epic match with The Undertaker
While speaking about the match on The Kurt Angle Show, Angle proudly stated that the 30-minute match between him and Taker at No Way Out was the “perfect match” and one of the best that he’s been in:
“We had that textbook wrestling match. This match (at No Way Out) had all the ingredients in it to be a perfect match. There was a lot of wrestling, a lot of submission tradeoffs, a lot of false finishes. The match told an incredible story. It was one of the best matches of my career, one of the best matches of The Undertaker’s career. I can guarantee The Undertaker will admit that. We wanted this match at WrestleMania, (but) unfortunately, we didn’t get it,” said Angle.
The Undertaker is set to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2022 ahead of WrestleMania 38.
