10 Greatest WWE Championship Matches In WrestleMania History

6. Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle (WrestleMania 20)

Angle was always the working-man's Big Show, in that he could be turned face or heel on a whim (and he often was) to suit company needs. When Guerrero needed an opponent for his recently-won WWE Championship for WrestleMania, Angle traded on the broad quality of envy for yet another heel turn. The ends would justify the means if the championship bout even flirted with expectations. Guerrero and Angle surpassed them, stringing together sequence after sequence of athletic wonder and simple story, particularly around Angle weakening the leg of Guerrero. With the villain hellbent on drawing a submission, Guerrero's victory spawned out of creative irony by loosening his boot to make the ankle lock escapable. It's those little nuances.
