Rate the Match #5 - Kurt Angle versus Chris Benoit @ Backlash '01
 

Kurt Angle versus Chris Benoit @ WrestleMania X-Seven = 8.0

This match judging by the comments was not nearly as good as their other matches these two put on, but a rating of 8.0 is still great. Still, an excellent first match-up against one another on what might go down in history as the best PPV card of all time.

-----

From all the comments I have decided to run another Kurt Angle versus Chris Benoit match-up and I may run all of them in a row just to finally figure out which is TPWW.net's favourite bout between the two wrestlers. In a return bout from WrestleMania these two heated things up at Backlash with the first ever 30 Minute Ultimate Submission match.

-----Matches Rated Thus Far-----
9.1 for Chris Jericho versus Shawn Michaels @ WrestleMania XIX
8.9 for Rob Van Dam versus Jerry Lynn @ Living Dangerously '99
8.4 for Ric Flair versus Sting @ Clash of the Champions I
8.0 for Kurt Angle versus Chris Benoit @ WrestleMania X-Seven

By far the worst Benoit - Angle match I've seen. Too much time wasting by Angle in this one.

I'm gonna give it a 7.

I'll give it an 8. I enjoyed the Wrestlemania 17 match more, but the Royal Rumble 2003 one is still my favourite.

Benoit and Angle again? Good thing Angle doesn't work the same match all the time.

6.5 Personally IMO its not as good as RR 03, WM 17, or the Steel Cage match on RAW in the summer of 01.

Love this match. 8.25 from me. (Just to make things difficult for you, JL :))

Benoit killed that match.

I'll give it a 6. My Fav one of those 2 is from the Rumble when Angle was champ, do that one next, cos that was fucking awesome

This match gets a 6.5 from myself after watching it back again.

For anyone else rating I'm going to put up a new match in any minute so rate, punks
