Watch Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle 2 out of 3 falls Match at Insurrextion 2001 Online
2/3 Falls: Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle.
First Fall: Just when you think you’ve seen all the Benoit vs. Angle matches there are, one sneaks up on you. Now all I need is that OVW one. They fight over a waistlock early, and Angle nails Benoit in the face with an elbow. They take it to the mat, and Kurt bails to avoid the Crippler Crossface. Heyman compares him to Linus without his blanket now that Benoit has Angle’s medals. Back in, Kurt tries a schoolboy, but Benoit reverses to a Crippler Crossface. Angle makes the ropes and hits a belly-to-belly suplex. Benoit comes back with Triple Verticals (years before Eddy made them a regular part of his repertoire). ROLLING GERMANS! That sets up the Swandive Headbutt at 7:43.
Second Fall: Angle fakes an injury and attacks Benoit from behind. A belly-to-belly superplex gets two. Benoit blocks a charge but runs right into another belly-to-belly. He counters another suplex for two. A DDT plants Angle for a double KO tease. Benoit slips out of the Angleslam and goes for more ROLLING GERMANS! This time, the Swandive Headbutt misses. Angle grabs the Anklelock, but Benoit reverses and turns it into the Crippler Crossface. Angle reverses and charges, but Benoit snaps him down into a small package to win two straight at 14:24. HOLY CRAP! TWO STRAIGHT! MAN UP! Benoit takes two straight from Angle?! I like the booking, but dammit, I wanted another fall. After the match, Benoit reveals he’s been keeping the medals in his tights. Ew.
