Classic Match - Angle/Taker No Way Out 2006

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

About as good of a match as you will ever see in WWE.

Big thank to bigHEADinc for finding this.

So much good stuff in here. Great brawling, great chain wrestling. The reversals in the finish are flawless. There were more than a handful of times when I thought the match could be over, but I knew it would go on longer only because the video was only half done.

thanks.

It's actually the first time I've seen it, too, and I'm glad I invested the twenty minutes to watch it.

AWESOME match. One of the 2 best WWE matches last year IMO. Showed Taker can still go when he's in there with someone who is a great in ring technician.

I've seen it before so I'll simply recommend to anyone who has not seen this. WATCH THIS MATCH ASAP. I know 'Taker has his haters but this match is WAY better than anything Angle has put on in TNA. It's just awesome in every way possible and is the reason I am begging WWE to give me a Benoit/Taker feud for the title in the hope I can see another match similar to this.

This is still the best match I saw last year from any promotion.

Definetly one of the great matches of either man's careers.

Undertaker is paired with immobile stiffs so often that it's easy to forget that he's a great wrestler in the right setting, and with the right opponent.

This match almost doesn't belong in a WWE environment, it's so good. But with that huge crowd behind an excellent wrestling match, it makes me sad that this doesn't happen more often.

There's a nice bit of Fighting Spirit near the end, too.

I'll tell you what, this match proves that you can have a great match under 'WWE Style'.

There were no head drops, no 450 splashes, nothing dangerous at all. Just great hold-for-hold wrestling, worked in an interesting style, and a lot of stiff punches thrown in back-and-forth fashion.

While I hate the formula of 'two or three moves, rest hold, two moves, rest hold', Angle and Undertaker did good SUBMISSIONS between the big spots and made it all look interesting. There were no rediculous 'knee in back and arms pulled backwards' rest holds.

This is also one of the few times in the WWE where I can a remember a crowd divided to the point of doing a legit "Let's go ___ ! *clap clap clapclapclap* Let's go ____!" chant.

The only other times I can remember this done in the E was in Cena/Jericho and Cena/Benjamin.

Awesome match, thats the 2nd time ive seen it, just as good as the first time.

[Hensley]

Finally, I've been waiting for this

[Shake A Leg]

Undertaker and Kurt Angle always put on great matches. Their No Way Out match was one of the GREATEST MATCHES EVER! Every wrestling fan should see this match NOW!

[EmptyEYE DUNNOOOOOOOOO]

I haven't actually watched wrestling on a regular basis for awhile now.

That said, AMAZING match. The last several minutes or so in particular were classic.

[Joie De Vivre]

Great match. Loved the figure four from the ring post spot.

[theunaveragejoe]

angle + taker = classic

have taker and angle ever had a bad match together

I remember watching this at Buffalo Wild Wings and literally being on the edge of my seat. For a few moments I thought Taker was actually gonna win.
