Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle (WWE - 8/15/2004)

Rewatching this back-to-back with the WM match revealed the unpleasant reality of how they recycled a number of spots, including the DDT-Angle Slam counter. This was still really good though. Angle goes for the ankle early this time and the work on it was snug and directly led to the finish. Also, the violent eye rake as a big transition highlighted what a hypocrite his character was. Finally, the boot feigning spot encapsulated the ingenuity of Guerrero’s gimmick, intelligent and hilarious especially since he immediately stopped pretending once he realized the ruse worked.
