The Rabid Wolverine once again makes this list. This time, however, it's for his match against Kurt Angle at Royal Rumble 2003. Unlike the previous two listings, what we are talking about now is the epitome of mat-based wrestling.

High on emotions, Angle finally made Benoit tap put despite his relentless efforts to stay in the match. Although unable to win the title, Benoit garnered the crowd's respect and cemented his position as a main-event player.
