[2002-03-17-WWF-Wrestlemania X8] Kurt Angle vs Kane

[cactus]

Angle gets a better match than you'd usually expect from Kane. Kane's able to throw decent strikes and has some impressive athleticism for a man his size, but he mostly leaves me cold. This feud was built up around head trauma and the commentary team won't stop going on about head trauma and brains getting scrabbled, which is something that would never happen in a post-Benoit world. After a exciting finishing stretch that sees Kane attempt a rare Tombstone and escape an ankle lock by using an enziguri, Angle steals the win after using the ropes for leverage. Angle looked like a super worker throwing Kane around with suplexes, but I wish he was able to secure a clean win.
