The March 3, 2006 WWE match between The Undertaker and Kurt Angle did not have an ending that everyone liked. But that takes nothing away from the fight in itself. The Undertaker had himself handpicked Kurt Angle to have a world-class match in that year, and the fight was originally slated to happen in WrestleMania 22. But WWE rescheduled it to a month earlier at No Way Out instead.

It turned out to be so exceptional and deserving of better limelight, that a rematch was scheduled two weeks later as a WWE SmackDown main event. The two put up a show even better than the original outing, bringing in new moves and sequences. The Phenom did what he does best – wearing down his rival in a systematic manner, while Angle went for the ankle lock repeatedly.

The match had fans on the edge of their seats, as both men attacked and counterattacked towards the end. But as Undertaker landed his tombstone piledriver in an attempt to seal the match, Mark Henry stepped in to attack him, starting a feud and causing a DQ.
