Kurt Angle’s 6 WWE SummerSlam Matches Ranked Worst To Best

6. 2005 Vs. Eugene

Out of the six matches on this list, this is the one downer. It's actually a fairly entertaining match but compared to the other five, it just doesn't hold up to the elite quality that they do.

The backstory for this was that Eugene was in possession of Kurt Angle's Olympic gold medals. This battle was for the claim to them. Also, 2004 Diva Search winner Christy Hemme was accompanying Eugene. Even after re-watching this I still didn't catch why she was with him.

The match was billed as having a No Time Limit stipulation but it only went about four minutes long. Eugene got in a few of his favourite moves, including a Stone Cold Stunner and a People's Elbow, but he ultimately tapped out when put into Angle's ankle lock submission.

The crowd was pretty against Eugene in this and as evidenced by the extremely short match time, apparently WWE wasn't too high on him at this point either. It was okay for what it was but definitely a class or two below the calibre of matches in this collection.
