9. Team Angle (c) Vs. Los Guerreros Vs. Chris Benoit & Rhyno - WrestleMania XIX
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7dffa_team-angle-los-guerrero-rhyno-chris_sport If WrestleMania X7 hadn't reached such heights, WrestleMania XIX would surely be held up as the greatest of all time. The talent pool that WWE had at the time was remarkable to say the least, and such that six elite workers got thrown into what was essentially a tag team title match for the sake of itself. There simply is no way that this could have been anything less than excellent. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas were far and away the standout tag team of WWE at this time, and in many ways they defined the division for a while. Eddie and Chavo were really coming into their own as a team, and the individual skills of Rhyno and (particularly) Benoit meant quality was assured. This was kept regrettably short however, clocking in at less than ten minutes. This gave it a somewhat frantic feeling, which in some ways helped the bout, but it still left a sense of 'what could have been'. The pace is furious throughout, and some of the timing of the spots is particularly impressive. A nice finish too, with Rhyno goring everything in sight only for Shelton to steal the win for the champions.
