#10 Kurt Angle Vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania 21 (2005)

Two technical masters colliding for the first time

Two of the greatest competitors that have ever graced God's green earth stepped up and squared off against each other for the first time to deliver possibly, one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time.

There's no denying that both Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels are talented enough to even wrestle a pillow and put up a wrestling clinic, and that can be clearly seen throughout this encounter.

In what was a 27-minute masterpiece, both the competitors got the best out of each other and gave the fans something that will never be erased from their minds and hearts.

Everything about this match spoke to the audience, with the near falls, the athleticism, the interaction between two characters, and the story involved made for a pretty fast-paced bout at the Staples Center.

One of my most favorite spots from the match was Kurt Angle's Angle Slam from the top rope that HBK eventually kicked out of, and left the fans and the Olympic Gold Medalist stunned.

Considering that Angle has always been a submission specialist, the former WWE Champion continued targeting Michaels' leg throughout the match by giving him multiple Ankle locks.

Kurt Angle's rage and Shawn Michaels' agility was on full display here, and while both the competitors met for the first time that night, they created magic for the world to remember.
