Our final match on the top ten list of greatest Madison Square Garden bouts features an Olympic Gold Medalist and a celebrated much-missed international superstar.

Eddie Guerrero had done the impossible, pinning Brock Lesnar and becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the main title on SmackDown. Before he was set to defend the belt at WrestleMania, the grandest stage of them all, WWE did a great job with the build up to the match.

The company made it seem like Eddie was over-matched by the bigger, stronger, and more technically adept Kurt Angle. Still, Guerrero fought with legendary passion and took Angle to the limit.

It was Eddie's famous trickery which earned him the victory. After pretending his ankle was so badly swollen he had to loosen his boot, Guerrero reversed an ankle lock into a pinfall, and retained his title, much to the delight of the Madison Square Garden crowd.
