6 most violent WWE matches of the 2000s

#4 Kurt Angle Vs. Shane McMahon (King of the Ring 2001)

x Angle and Shane gave an epic performance in 2001.

Fans in 2019 may scoff at the idea of Shane McMahon believing he's the Best in the World, but the 49-year-old has certainly given plenty to the industry throughout the years.

In 2001, McMahon found himself in the ring against Kurt Angle, after interrupting Angle's Olympic Gold Medal ceremony re-enactment.

Meeting at the King of the Ring (Angle's third match of the night), both men gave it their all, with Shane being thrown through the glass stage, not once, but twice.

As both men bled for the match, the pair gained the admiration of the crowd, though it was Angle who emerged the victor, using a sheet of wood as a platform to deliver an elevated Angle Slam.

Though it was the Olympian who got the win, it was McMahon who received the praise of the fans
