10 Wrestlers Who Have Made Kurt Angle Submit
4. Samoa Joe - TNA Turning Point 2006
One of TNA's highlights has always been Kurt Angle shock entry into the Impact Zone, headbutting Samoa Joe and showing dominance to the undefeated Samoan Submission Machine. This led to their first match at Genesis, where Angle defeats Samoa Joe to end the then 18 month winning streak in TNA.
Fast forward a month later and a rematch is held at Turning Point, pushing both wrestlers to their limits. In the space of 25 minutes, this was probably a record for the number of close calls and false finishes. Samoa Joe actually makes Kurt Angle tap twice in this match. The first while the referee was knocked down, then a few minutes later to secure the victory. This was the second but certainly not the last match between these two titans. The feud between these two men only escalated further over the years, with championships added into the mix. Both Joe and Angle would trade submission victories over the years, but you can only be in this club once.
TNA themselves have put both their first match and second on YouTube, and if you've never seen them, they are a must watch.
