If there's one spot that sums up why you should check out this match, it's Eddie Guerrero using something as simple as his wrestling boot to flummox his foe. Kurt's focus on Eddie's ankle caused the thing to swell, so much so that Guerrero loosened his laces to ease the pressure. Remember that moment come the finish.

Lie, cheat and steal yo.

10 years on from the wrestling clinic brothers Bret and Owen Hart had in the same arena at 'Mania X, Angle and Guerrero put on a drool-worthy mix of WWE-style dramatics and pure, silky technical ecstasy. Their work was clean, crisp and had Madison Square Garden's 'seen it all' audience on the edge of their seats.

That's a huge compliment to both, and we should all be thankful that WWE booked this corker before Guerrero sadly passed away the following year. This, more so than his WWE Title win the month before at No Way Out, was Eddie's real coming out party as a main eventer.
