The match between Kurt Angle and The Undertaker at Fully Loaded 2000 was supposed to be a one-off attraction that would bolster the "Triple Main Event" branding for the pay-per-view. There was nothing else for either man to do anyway, and they ended up having a short, albeit fun, seven-minute match.

It wasn't one 'Taker fancied when it was pitched to him.

Bruce's recollection of a bemused Deadman approaching him backstage is pretty funny. The Undertaker didn't have a clue what the hell he was going to do with Angle at Fully Loaded, and he actually thought it'd be impossible to have a good match. Prichard, sticking to his creative guns, knew differently.

After the match, 'Taker again approached Bruce and said he'd been surprised by how good Kurt was. He immediately pitched a program against Angle, and said to Prichard and Vince McMahon he wanted to work extensively with the relative rookie.

That's why they worked again at Survivor Series.
