WWE: 10 Best Steel Cage Matches Ever

3. Kurt Angle Vs. Chris Benoit - Raw June 11, 2001

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L0IrTeT3AY There have been quite a few Steel Cage matches in the history of Raw, but this one is definitely the best. The Benoit/Angle rivalry in 2001 produced plenty of memorable matches and moments. During a June 2001 episode of Raw, Angle met Benoit in a Steel Cage match. They went all out in this matchup that didn't have anything on the line. All they cared about was putting on an entertaining match with Angle as the heel and Benoit as a babyface that was set to challenge Steve Austin (and Chris Jericho) for the WWE Title soon after this match. There were two key spots in the match. At one point Angle went to the top of the cage and instead of climbing out, he went for a Moonsault off the top of the cage. Benoit moved and Angle bounced off the mat. What a crazy bump! Benoit decided to do something huge after he grounded Angle with an incredible nine German Suplexes. He climbed to the top of the cage, but Austin was there to prevent him from going down. Benoit did a headbutt off the top of the cage that connected. Angle ended up winning the match due to Austin slamming the cage door against Benoit's head. Obviously this is a match that WWE won't put over as a classic due to the Benoit involvement, but they went all out and had an exceptional match that fans loved from start to finish. The big moves were pretty damn impressive too.
