We have made it into the final five matches in our countdown of the Top 50 matches in Wrestle Mania history (in my humble opinion) as the 29th edition of the event takes place on Apr. 7, live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Today, we look at the match that comes in at No. 3.
#3, Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle—Wrestle Mania 21 (2005)—Los Angeles, California
(Ranked the best match from Wrestle Mania 21)
Here we had two of the absolute best in ring performers of all time going at it on the biggest stage in pro wrestling. Plenty of near falls and drama as the crowd was really unsure who would come out on top here. Both men took their fair share of bumps and made the match seem truly personal (something that lacks from some WWE bouts these days). One of my favorite spots in the match came when Angle had HBK by the hair (both men were up right) and was talking trash, only for HBK to hit Sweet Chin Music out of now where. In the end, Angle wins the match via submission.
