10 Great Non-PPV Matches You Must Watch On WWE Network

2. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar - SmackDown (September 18, 2003)

In the WWE dictionary, the phrase "pure athlete" is defined as two men; Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle. Perhaps never before in the history of Vince McMahon's company had there been two better examples of this and when they feuded in 2003, fans were treated to some of the best matches in recent memory. The bout had main event written all over it and the fact that it was held on free TV was a huge bonus for fans. It was a natural pairing in many ways, one that never seemed forced or weak at any point. Some fans believe that Brock Lesnar was meant to face Kurt Angle and the best proof of that is definitely this match. This was two men in their prime, two men that could not be more different when it came to their characters but could not be more similar in terms of their desire to be the best. If there was ever a match that could make the crowd suspend its disbelief of professional wrestling, it's absolutely this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51n5TZY2o4 This was WWE at its finest, with two of its greatest performers of all time. Lesnar vs. Angle will always be remembered as one of the best feuds in company history and this match especially is a highlight of that great rivalry.
