[2001-02-25-WWF-No Way Out] The Rock vs Kurt Angle

[ohtani's jacket]

Tick tock, tick tock, The Rock vs. Kurt Angle doesn't suck. 

This was streets better than Triple H vs. Angle. There was a pointless piece of interference from The Big Show and an unnecessary ref change, but apart from that, it was pure chemistry between the workers. Rock being a super over babyface clearly helped the dynamic here, but Angle did so many cool things here and was able to showcase his ability to a far greater extent than he could in the Hunter match. He looked like a much better worker than at the Rumble and I don't think it was because he had an extra month under his belt. Much like the Benoit matches, the Rock meshed surprisingly well with his opponent regardless of his technical acumen. This was a match that definitely enhanced my opinion of Rock as a worker.
