Obnoxious yet vindictive Kurt Angle may very well be my favourite Kurt Angle. In the build-up to his dream match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 21, Angle was at his very best, bringing up various ghosts from Shawn's past in an attempt to top all of the accomplishments of The Heartbreak Kid. Angle faced and defeated Shawn's old tag partner Marty Jannetty, but it was his re-working of HBK's entrance music that lives longest in the memory.

Before Shawn sang his own music, the lyrics were bleated out by none other than WWE Hall of Famer Sensational Sherri, and Angle brought her back to ram home his humiliation of Shawn. After coming out to HBK's music (much to the chagrin of the SmackDown audience), Angle mimicked Michaels' early entrance all the way down to the manhandling of Sherri.

Angle then proceeded to sing Shawn's music, albeit with slightly amended lyrics. It is one of the most glorious segments in SmackDown history, and watching it back makes me yearn for the HBK/Ange feud once more. HBK interrupts the singing however, to play a video of his own accomplishments. It was a great video, but not quite Kurt Angle singing.
