I'd like to add Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio to the list. The same goes for Kurt Angle and Edge. I'm not going to say Kurt Angle and anyone, because while he could carry a bottle of milk to a good match (tag team split of the century...the psychology with Angle not being able to apply the Ankle Lock effectively would be brilliant), there are some guys that he worked with that he just got better results out of them than he should have. Edge and Rey Mysterio are two examples.
Edge was seriously entertaining when he was feuding with Kurt Angle. Not only in the promo department, but they were some of Edge's best matches ever. Edge has always been able to be carried to a good match, but with Angle he seemed a little more productive than he ever has.
Rey Mysterio and Angle just had some fast-paced matches that got the adrenaline pumping. I remember a lot of people were a bit apprehensive about the idea of Angle/Mysterio at first, because of the clash of styles, but they just meshed brilliantly. Mysterio would springboard off with something, and Angle would roll through and get the Ankle Lock, and then Mysterio would do a wacky roll through counter. Fun stuff. I don't really like Mysterio too much, but I'd get excited whenever he was facing Angle.
