    I loved that match honestly my favorite Benoit and Angle match and one of my favorite matches of the smackdown 6 era.

    No matter what happened outside the ring, Angle vs Benoit at the Royal Rumble is still my favorite match of all time, WrestleMania or not. I remember during that time I just started watching wrestling again but in Canada, I only had easy access to RAW which was on TSN so watching this first PPV with my grandpa, I saw Smackdown stuff for the first time and boy I became a fan. For about 1-2 years after, I became only focused on Smackdown. I miss my grandpa and these wrestling nights we had together watching WWF/WWE. Happy times

    Great episode and nice to see Kurt happy and healthy! 2003 was my favorite year of his career and Benoit was the ultimate opponent for any wrestler between 2000-2007

    2nd favorite match behind WM 20 main event. I'm surprised no one said anything in the back it would be cool to hear stories about that. I saw somewhere HHH told Kurt this was the greatest match of all time when they walked through the curtain. Who knows #ruthlessaggression

    I jus happened to randomly watch this match for the first time while i was at work last night and I’ve seen other matches from those two and they were great but MAN this match was amazing. And to know now that Kurt did this match injured with all the stuff they did, The realism and creativity was off the charts. Taz and Cole were in their prime at this time. It was just great. Please go watch this match!

    As much as I agree with Angle, the match he had with Benoit should have been a 6 star match, however it did not occur in the Tokyo dome, and it didn't involve twinkle toes omega so uncle Dave can't give it a better rating than it got

    It probably cracks the top 10 kurt matches but the match with benoit is just different. It's competitive & had more emotion imo. Both classic matches that I love but I think kurt is spot on with this match being his best.

    Im sure it could've lasted longer in the arena while they were running promo videos on air ahead of the rumble, but 15 minutes does seem like a stretch
