It's another great Rock vs. Triple H match from 2000 and this one involved Kurt Angle, who had a fantastic rookie year that year. The Rock was the babyface WWE Champion while Angle had a heated feud with Triple H because Angle was flirting with Hunter's wife (a storyline at the time) Stephanie McMahon. It was such an intense match. Hunter brawled with Angle even before Rock got out there. Hunter went to give Angle a Pedigree through the Spanish announce table, but the table collapsed and you could see Angle was knocked out from it. He suffered a legit concussion. The majority of the match was all about Rock vs. Triple H until Stephanie convinced Angle to go back out there to help Triple H win in the conclusion of the match. Should Angle have been out there with a legit concussion? Probably not, but in 2000 they didn't think about those things as much as they do today. There was an exciting finish to the match with The Rock finding away to get the job done after some miscommunication by the other two guys. Rock got the win when he pinned Triple H after a People's Elbow. When you have a great storyline to match an intense wrestling match it's usually the formula for success. The crowd was on fire for much of the match and the work by three of the best wrestlers ever was excellent too.
