Without a shadow of a doubt, Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle are two of the finest men to ever grace the squared circle and this WWE Championship bout at WrestleMania XX proves the same.

After working his socks off to defeat Brock Lesnar and win the WWE Championship, Eddie Guerrero entered the Madison Square Garden for his first title defense on PPV against his former ally, Kurt Angle.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

Judging by the respect these two earned between the ropes, this WWE Championship bout was one hell of a technical contest. The initial stages of the bout were a little slow with both the in-ring magicians testing each other's strengths, but the minute the Mexican Icon went rib first into the railing, the in-ring encounter became more intense, more pacy, and incredibly entertaining to watch.

Although this 21-minute outing concluded with Eddie getting a roll-up victory over a frustrated Angle, which was, let's say, rather underwhelming, the ending was still a text-book Eddie Guerrero style finish and certainly solidified his spot at the very top of the food chain.
