Kurt Angle, a former professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer, recently shared his pick for his favorite WWE match that he wasn't a part of. On his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, Angle revealed that his favorite match was the Triple Threat match between Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 20 in 2004.
As someone who has been in the public eye of pro wrestling for nearly 25 years, Angle has wrestled some of the biggest names in the history of the business. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers in WWE history, having had incredible matches with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Edge, The Rock, Steve Austin, Rey Mysterio, John Cena, and many others during his seven-year tenure with WWE.
When Angle came back to WWE over a decade after leaving, his body just wasn’t the same in terms of being able to put on those same great matches. However, as a podcaster in retirement from wrestling, Angle still has plenty to talk about, including his favorite WWE match that he wasn’t involved in.
During the podcast episode, Angle expressed his admiration for the Triple Threat match between Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 20. He called it the best Triple Threat he had ever seen, and admitted to being jealous of the performance, which he felt outshone his own match with Eddie Guerrero on the same night.
The WrestleMania 20 main event was a historic match that ended with Chris Benoit tapping out Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Title. It was a significant moment in the history of WWE, as it marked the first time that Benoit had won a world championship in the company. Unfortunately, the events that followed would cast a dark shadow over the match and its participants.
In 2007, Chris Benoit was involved in a murder-suicide that shocked the world. The tragedy led to WWE distancing itself from Benoit and erasing him from its history. Despite the controversy surrounding Benoit, his performance in the WrestleMania 20 main event remains a memorable moment in WWE history.
Angle's choice of the Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 20 as his favorite WWE match that he wasn't a part of speaks to the quality of the match and its significance in the history of WWE. As a former professional wrestler and someone who has been a part of the industry for so long, Angle's perspective and insights on the match add another layer to its legacy.
