#4 Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker - SmackDown, March 3

An excellent rematch
An excellent rematch

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle and The Undertaker had an instant classic in the main event of No Way Out 2006, easily the best match of the year and one of the best match of either man's careers.

The match was so good, that a rematch was set up a few weeks later for the March 3 episode of SmackDown. Almost every time Kurt and The Undertaker got in the ring together, they created magic, so it was no surprise that this match was yet another instant classic.

Like No Way Out, as he should be, Kurt was treated as Taker's equal and the two had a show-stopping affair where at no point did Kurt look like he would go down easy.

The two went back and forth, several reversals, Kurt hit the Angle Slam and Ankle Lock to no avail, Taker hit the Chokeslam and other vintage Deadman moves to no avail, and finally, when Taker hot the Tombstone, it looked like he would be the new World Heavyweight Champion, until Mark Henry interfered, ruining the ending.

Still, it was a fantastic match.
