1- Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle (2003)
The match didn’t have any special stipulations like the other matches on the list but technical maestros like Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit proved that they only need a canvas to paint a masterpiece.
The match came amidst of Angle forming Team Angle to avoid facing Brock Lesnar while Benoit was someone pursuing his destiny to win the title. The match was at the epitome of technical wrestling as both men exchanged suplexes and submissions with pin point perfection. The adrenaline pumping action would keep the energy levels up from the first bell to the last till Benoit tapped out to an Angle lock just after an Angle slam from the top rope.
The matches in the future would have a tough time surpassing this epic which showed that wrestling doesn’t need to have chair shots and blood to be entertaining.
