This is a really well constructed match. Great brawling performance from Angle here, maybe his career best. Legitimate anger and hatred. Some unique tailbone psychology and effective garbage spots. Perhaps it ventures into reckless violence territory with the glass suplexes, but the finishing stretch was a good culmination. Also, the criticism that Shane out-wrestles Angle is misrepresented I think. He merely takes advantage of Angle's overzealous approach to out-maneuver him at times.

This 100% belongs in the top 100 matches. Possibly the best WWE singles match I've seen.

A gem of a match for sure. I wonder, though, if you take away the double-turn, does the match still rank as highly? |

I'll rewatch it before June 30th but that's a good point.

The double turn is a key part of the match and story. If Jumbo just pinned Misawa on 6/8/90 would people remember it as an all time classic?
Also, Bret & Austin had a non-gimmicked match without a turn 4 months earlier and it's one of the best matches in the history of the company.

It's probably not top 100 ever, considering there have been so many 5-star matches,especially in Japan, since the 70's or so. |

"suplex skewl"
LOL
if this ends in the next 10 seconds it'll be awesome.
So setting aside Shane's offense looking absolutely terrible...which is fitting in a kayfabe way, this is actually a shockingly fun & well laid out spectacle....until it completely & utterly falls apart and becomes a snuff film. End it before all the nonsense and it's awesome.
