A few things: - current WWE canon has this as THE main event of WM20 apparently - documentary made Kurt look like a big deal - interesting that the storyline has Kurt Angle mocking Eddie for being a drug addict when in fact at this time Kurt was himself addicted to various drugs according to his own later admission - Eddie is physically unnaturally large - match pretty much went how I remember it - good but not great. Eddie really couldn't handle being champ, as the doc alludes to.

You can also tell (this comes across in the main event too) that the crowd is rather tired by this point in what was a ridiculously long Wrestlemania.

Also, I still feel that the ending sucked. Yeah, Eddie was lying, cheating, and stealing his way to victory, but I felt really bad for Kurt.
I'm surprised that they didn't make Undertaker's return the main focus.

I loved the finish. After all that bullshit Angle was talking about he was the superior wrestler and athlete, he got beat by a simple rollup.

What I really remember about that match is how, during the replay of the ending, we see Eddie putting his feet on the ropes for leverage, and Tazz throws a fit while Cole laughs his ass off, a complete reversal of their reactions when Chavo used leverage to beat Rey earlier that night. That always stuck out to me. I loved the finish. After all that bullshit Angle was talking about he was the superior wrestler and athlete, he got beat by a simple rollup. I remember that pre-match promo and how much of a complete asshole Kurt was during it, even in comparison to how he usually acted. He was a hypocrite and a thug, and Eddie just made him look like a total fool. Granted, Kurt got his win back at Summerslam, but still.

Never say the match before but the moment where Angle is outside the ring and Eddie sees him and just mouths "Oh Shit" was brilliant.
