It's True: The Best Of Kurt Angle DVD

[Y 2 Jake]

Possibly a monthly thing. Come up with the best possible DVD for a certain wrestler. Suggest a match, title, format and so on. If it's a big star like Angle they they have a three disc set. How that is layed out can be decided in here. We'll use the WWE DVD formula. As it's three disc you can decide if he's worthy of a two hour documentary. If that is the case then that would take up all of the first disc. So the second & third would be for matches, promos & angles. Or it could be like a timeline, similar to the Undertaker: Tombstone DVD. Will there be extra features? How many matches? Probably about 20 on a three disc set, depending on time. And about 12 on a two disc set. Do you just add his best matches? Or include lesser but important ones? And so on. This is the best of Kurt Angle, so any matches, from any promotion are welcome.

Don't just list matches. Give reasons.​

For a match I'm nominating his debut match vs. Shawn Stasiak. It's short, boring, but it's his first WWE match. So it has a certain air of importance. For a debut wrestler he actually got a really good reaction. Negative, and there were boring chants. But that was the idea. His promos leading up to the debut made him look like he was the most boring wrestler of all time. So they served their purpose.

id nominate kurt angle vs stone cold at summer slam it was such a solid match it should of been the main event instead of the garbage booker t vs rock match angle has the face and stone cold has the pyschocatic heel worked for perfection

and his match with the undertaker at survivor series. not the best match these guys had 2gether but it was good and the switch at the way angle won with the switch i dont was done at that time

Myself I wouldn't add either. Both are ok. But neither is terribly memorable. The Taker one is kind of a one year anniversary so it could have a place. But it's not a pivitol match. With somebody of Angles caliber I think there are better, more important matches that could be included. You've got a good 9 years of Angle matches that could be on this disc. And I can't think of anybody who's been so consistently great as Angle in that time.

ill had somemore then ill put the eurocontential match from wrestlemania 2000 featuring angle,benoit,jericho even though angle lost both belts he was never pinned and was one of the good matches on one of the worst wrestlemania's ever

and one of my personal favs is the angle vs eddie matach from wrestlemania
XX its often over looked because of the amazing triple threat main event classic we saw later on but i loved the eddie angel match the build up to the match and the match itself was very good and solid all around

I think just comments and bonus footage would do, documentaries about a single wrestler are boring, no matter who they're about. Most of it is about idolising other wrestlers too, but I don't think Angle ever did that, 'cos he did the "real wrestling" instead. Did they not get him winning his gold medal on TV? They never show footage of it.

You can have a couple of tag matches, like his one with Benoit against Rey and Edge. Scratch that. WWE format, so that means no Benoit. That honour is reserved for Triple H only. But yeah, not too many matches with more than two guys in them. Definitely not Armageddon HIAC.

This is just WWE years I take it, so first disc would be roughly when he had hair. You'd have him winning the title, his matches with Stone Cold, Triple H and Rock, maybe some Invasion stuff. Shane McMahon at KOTR, winning KOTR the year before that. Making Hogan tap would be good as a highlight.

Next disc would be his best years. The years when he was on top, really. 2003-2004. His feud with Lesnar, two or three matches. His tag match with Benoit. Neck surgery, and all the emotions that go with it. His comeback. His feud with Eddie and his WM and SummerSlam matches. Maybe a comment on his time as GM.

2005-2006. What the fuck did he do in 2005? My memory is bad. Inevitably, on a WWE DVD, his feud with Cena. Oh, and his matches with Michaels. All three. God, how did I forget that? Why did I not edit my idiocy out? Never mind. Any other standout matches. Just group the matches in 2006, before his winddown in ECW. That in mind, his match with Orton at ONS is just good enough to get on it. If it's chronological, that should be it. If not, make Taker/Angle the last one on it.

Bonus should be the usual stuff. A couple of lesser known matches maybe. An interview. Never before seen footage of something - him at ECW maybe, if it still exists. Maybe that pizza advert too. Would be sweet.

No TNA stuff, like I said. Unless this is a hypothetical situation where WWE has bought TNA or something. One match with Joe, one with Styles and his matches in Japan with Nagata and Lesnar. Done.

Has anyone forgotten about him dousing the Alliance with milk??

That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on WWE programming. Sure, it was a rip-off of the Stone Cold beer truck thing, but it suited Kurt Angle perfectly. In my opinion, this was one of Angle's defining moments in the WWE.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I find that insulting. It was a bit funny at the time. But yeah, it was rip-off of the beer truck and no, it didn't really suit Angle perfectly because he hasn't been that character since, nor had he been before. Put it as bonus footage or as a highlight while summing up the alliance but it is definitely not a defining Kurt Angle moment. Want to know the defining Kurt Angle moment? There are none, because nobody has been as consistently entertaining as him for the last eight years. The only moment that really stands out is when he main evented WrestleMania.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'd add both the milk truck, and singing with Austin as special features. I though both were great.

I'd probably have a couple of Joe/Angle matches on the disc. Not because I feel they're the best. But I'd have the original match, and their Lockdown match. It would pull the feud full circle. So long as TNA don't restar the feud. I'd possibly have it as part of a time line showing and highlighting the entire feud.

As well as their original brawl on iMPACT, and their brawl at BFG 06. Both were great, and looked legit.
