“This is Awesome” chants before either wrestler even did anything 😅. I loved how the crowds felt so involved during this era of TNA. A TNA show during 05-09 must’ve been so awesome.
Even though it wasn't as popular as WWE, they were doing great & had a dedicated fanbase . Then they decided to take the challenge to WWE....... by hiring Hulk Hogan & Eric bischoff & things went downhill from there

@@manlykscorpa they kind of revived him after. No doubt 2009 - 2012 were some of Joe's darkest years. At least after he got to win the TV, Tag and X division title
This is the competative spirit, professionalism, brutality, and realism everyone who wants to become a pro wrestler strives for. This is a different level that so many are not close to reaching. Always classic!
What I love about Kurt Angle is that even when winning against the younger guy, he still makes them look like a million bucks, doesn’t damage any of their credibility at all.
Kurt Angle is the most lovable wrestler of all time, fans, wrestlers & promotions always cheered for him. Regardless on his role of a baby face or a heel, part timer or full time employee.
@@vaibhavthakur6602 cant compare 06 Kurt to 19 Kurt he was much younger same can be said almost for Samoa Joe though he still an engine going he much younger here
You can tell Kurt was heavy in his Vicoden days here. His eyes are completely pinned. He said he was eating 60 pills a day, that's absolutely insane. He's so lucky he isn't dead.
Kurt Angle was like a wild eyed crazed machine in his early TNA days and this match is a definite classic it was like watching two vicious bulldogs fighting for territory
I feel like all wrestling promotions that come from 1 specific arena or venue always have a special kind of atmosphere to them, ECW, early TNA, NXT, Progress, PWG etc, all kept to one specific place for recorded shows. Helped add a personality that was unique to each promotion.
@@AcornSmokes420 I would rather have Cena vs Angle then anything. Angle was Cena first opponent and Cena can be Angle's last opponent it's just the perfect story
1 of my favourite matches ever. 2 masters of the ring An intense feud starting with the Headbutt heard around the world. The Undefeated streak on the line. And it continues to be 1 of the greatest feuds and series of wrestling matches in pro wrestling history. 👏
I loved their first trilogy of matches, but they should have held off on Joe vs. Angle for a year. Build it up, having Joe and Angle destroying everyone else in their path. Then having Joe go over. Their matches are great, they are classic but the build up could have been more.
Imagine of Joe had won this one instead of the rematch... That would have been the right call honestly and build to the rematch as Joe being the only one to defeat Kurt and Kurt working back towards the rematch. And make it for the belt. That would have been a better story. But still TNA's best feud.
joe flew in that belly to belly suplex... and him manually opening up kurt's face was probably one of the attributes of TNA's reputation for intensity.
I'm going back to watch some classic TNA matches and this one did not fail to deliver. I feel like 2006 was a double-edged sword for Kurt Angle as he was in his prime but was also battling enormous demons in the form of 65 extra-strength Vicodin tablets every day. It really is a miracle that Kurt Angle is still alive to this day because there are so many people in the history of professional wrestling who were never able to pin their drug addiction(s) for a 3-count and they ultimately lost their lives. Eddie Guerrero is the greatest example of that. Thanks for uploading this classic, IMPACT!
one thing tna will always have on wwe 1 better treatment of bobby roode some joe sting -ill sting in wwe slide alittle since he has to retire to soon- aj styles and kurt angle i will say kurt did have a decent run in the 90s and mid 2000s but tna did a freaking epic job

Samoa Joe was a monster in TNA. "He's never been pinned or submitted", is how you build a champion. sucks that wwe wasted him.

A true wrestling match, by two of the greatest submission experts in wrestling history.
