5 best submission matches in WWE history

Kurt Angle v Chris Benoit – 30 Minute Ultimate Submission Match – Backlash, 2001

These two technical juggernaughts put on a classic that none can forget

Two submission masters. The rules were quite similar to an Iron Man Match. The wrestlers who, at the end of 30 minutes taps out fewer times, wins. This was an amazing feud. Chris Benoit proved that he could main event PPVs. This feud really helped his career.

This match did seem quite long with frequent pauses. Although it took time, it was worth watching. But the two submission masters tried every trick in the book to out do the other. Chris Benoit managed to get the better of Angle, but this was pretty close. Angle managed make submit Chris Benoit thrice, while Benoit made Angle tap out four times. We saw submission maneuvers like the cross-armbreaker, single leg crab and even the Ankle Lock.
