Michaels is a guy that had a five-star match with Triple H after not having wrestled an important match in more than four years. Kurt Angle's taken part in epic match after epic match with spinal injuries that would incapacitate a lesser individual. In other words, both men are freaks in their own right.

The two had never wrestled each other before WrestleMania 21, but were such virtuosos that rehearsal wasn't really needed. According to Angle, the only spot the two worked on was one where Angle would hoist Michaels off his feet, and Michaels would counter the lift into a sunset flip.

Aside from that, they discussed a few other possible spots, but didn't spend all that much time piecing together what was most certainly match of the night (and year).
