[2005-06-27-WWE-RAW] Kurt Angle vs Ric Flair


Recommended Posts

This was a fun match. That's not a surprise since Flair had been doing some pretty good stuff in Evolution tag matches, but it was still a decent length singles match. The one thing I've learnt to do with these Ric Flair bouts is to not compare him to whatever idealized image I have of Flair, but rather to think if this was the only footage we had of Flair, what would I make of it? Would I want to see more? Would I speculate on how good he could have been when he was younger? To me, the answer is yes. I probably wouldn't have been able to guess that he was some great champion in the Buddy Rogers mode from watching this bout, but like watching the Ray Stevens footage we have, I'd still think there was something there. I love how Flair used the first hook and the eye gouge in this match, especially when JR is going on about amateur wrestling and catch-as-catch-can. As for Angle? Between this match and the Jannetty match, how can anyone doubt the guy?
