[2006-04-28-WWE-Smackdown] Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio

[ohtani's jacket]

This was the 1000th match between Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio, but you can't go wrong with Mysterio and Angle as a matchup. What made this special is that it was wrestled in the Wembley Arena in London, England, site of some famous British wrestling matches. I don't know if I like them pushing Rey as an underdog champ who can lose at any given moment. .That feels like they're cutting him off at the knees booking wise. Interestingly, the Wembley crowd appeared to be pro-Angle. There were even boos for Rey. They worked their usual back and forth bout until Mark Henry showed up and pissed the crowd off by costing Angle the bout. Now we know the heat against Henry was orchestrated by British smarts. You'd think they'd appreciate Henry more given the proud tradition of Daddy's Wembley feats. They were probably pissed that they didn't get a clean finish to a pretty decent match.
