Said Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley went over by 20 minutes in their match at WrestleMania 39 which many producers found disrespectful to the Main Event (Usos vs Zayn & Owens)

What the gently caress I looked it up and the match was like 23 minutes.

Apparently the 20 minutes over was for the entire segment, including entrances and whatnot.

which makes it even funnier that in Ronda's book she asks "what kind of money does an 8 minute entrance make" about Roman Reigns lol

Starting to think the people who get really mad about Kurt Angle not having a five star match have a point...

Kurt/HBK at Mania 21 probably should've had 5 stars (it's ****3/4), but other'n that, can't think of a match that got screwed out of getting 5. The Kurt/Brock matches were more terrific holistically than individually. Don't get me wrong, love popping on a good Angle match, but the sports entertainment stuff that made the product so hot also made the matches a little less than perfect.

Can't speak for Kurt's TNA run, so I defer to others there.

Benoit/Angle or some of the 2002 tag matches are the closest to 5 for me

Bare minimum, one of the first two Kurt/Joe matches in TNA in 2006 (Genesis and/or Turning Point) should be on there. Story-wise the first one at Genesis probably makes it for being a moment, but Turning Point (and on really) they were given more length to work with

One of my favorite WWE matches of all time was Eddie/Angle. The one where Eddie was all cheat to win, and he untied his boot when Angle was distracted so that when Kurt put him in the Angle Lock Eddie slipped his foot out and won. Absolutely masterful poo poo that WWE will probably never do again because their fans don't understand storytelling in the ring

My all time fav lol moment in my life in wrestling is that Daddy Magic has a 5* and Kurt Angle doesn't lol

I don't think it's a huge crime that Kurt doesn't have any 5 star matches cause while he was good he was never top 5 in the world good even in the early 00's and his matches rarely hit beyond good WWE style

Joe Lanza did a series of articles looking into whether or not Kurt Angle has a 5-star match. It's paywalled on the VoW patreon, but it's a pretty interesting insight into DAVEFLATION and Kurt Angle as a wrestler.

Kurt Angle is an actual by god crazy Olympic gold metalist. He should have at least one 5 star with the talent that was working during his tenure. He was doing more than super punch/spears like 4 star general Roman Reigns.

By Dave's star inflation and his current WWE rating standards yeah I could see an argument for having a 5 star match. But compare his matches against other 00's 5 star matches and really the Joe TNA stuff is the only one really close and even than I think it's not at the level.

My problem with Kurt is he was forced to be to silly in his main event programs which dragged his matches down and his mid card stuff is WWE midcard
