WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently appeared in a WWE retrospective video, where he shared his thoughts on various topics. One highlight he mentioned was his 2006 No Way Out match against fellow Hall of Famer The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship, which he described as one of his favorite matches.

Angle said, “This match was so special. It told such an amazing story. This is why it’s one of my top three favorite matches of all time. For Undertaker to be a 300-pound giant, seven-foot tall, and be able to do what he did in the ring that night? It was nothing short of amazing.”.

On it showing a different side of The Undertaker’s character:

“The Undertaker wasn’t supposed to do that stuff. He wasn’t supposed to be a submission-type wrestler. He was supposed to be ‘The Deadman’ that walked around and Chokeslammed people. For him to show his versatility here as The Undertaker, I thought was incredible. It showed that he had many levels to his wrestling… he proved that he could do any type of wrestling match. He could even have a five-star Lucha Libre wrestling match. I mean, that’s how adaptable Undertaker was. I was just proud to be a part of it.”
