Kurt Angle v Kane

[Loss]

Kurt Angle v Kane - WWF Smackdown 11/08/01

 

This was nothing more than each guy trying repeatedly to perform his finisher on the other, and the other guy finding reversals out of it every time, until Angle finally got the win. That's about all it was, as rarely do they try anything else, and when Angle does, it's not like Kane sells it anyway, at least in the early stages. The only reason Angle weakening the leg and ankle even factors into the match at all is because of Austin's interference with the chair mid-match, before he's eventually chased off by the Undertaker. Aside from a few kicks and stomps, ankle lock attempts, chokeslam attempts and one tombstone attempt, there's not really a lot going on if you factor out Kane's really cool locomotion suplexes. Not as good as it has been hyped to be.
