10 Wrestlers Who Have Made Kurt Angle Submit
7. The Rock - Survivor Series November 18th 2001
The Invasion. WCW and ECW vs WWF. Winner takes all. It was a dream storyline that failed miserably as none of the big WCW wrestlers were in WWF at the time due to contract issues. Instead this traditional 5 on 5 Survivor Series elimination match had 3 WWF Superstars on the Alliance side: Kurt Angle, Steve Austin and Shane McMahon, with Booker T and Rob Van Dam being the only originals from their respective companies.
The match itself had the usual back and forth action, with one of the more surprising (or unsurprising as it was Survivor Series) incidents occurring with the Sharpshooter being applied to Kurt Angle roughly half way into this match. Angle didn't even put up much of a fight, tapping out very quickly.
As the end of the match approaches, both the WWF and the Alliance were down to one man. The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. With two referees down, Kurt Angle interferes and nails Austin with the title belt, betraying the Alliance, enabling The Rock to nail the Rock Bottom on Austin for the three count and the victory. Does this really count if Angle was working with the WWF the whole time? Officially it's in the record books.
