Thanks to my fellow blog of doomers, i found the match i was asking you about. Figure this could act as match of the day:
Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold - WWF Title by sir-roddick
The internet... is there ANYTHING it can't do?
As a bonus, here's my original rant on the match:
-
WWF Title match: Kurt Angle v. Steve Austin. Austin stomps him to start and rams him into
the turnbuckles about a thousand times.
Superplex attempt is blocked and Angle kicks him down. Austin comes back with the Thesz Press and a
pair of elbows for two. Gut wrench gets
two. Vertical suplex gets two. Angle reverses another suplex into a
legsweep. Crowd is surprisingly
quiet. Angle goes to the headlock, and
gets a crossbody off the criss-cross for two.
Small package gets two. Austin
tosses Angle, and they brawl on the floor.
Austin puts him into the crowd, and William Regal joins us, but gets
beat up. Angle gets dumped into the
crowd, again, and Austin comes off the barricade with a clothesline. LUCHA STEVE~!
Austin posts Angle, and covers for two back in the ring. The crowd TOTALLY buys that as a
near-fall. Wow. 10 shots to the head get two, and now the
crowd is WAY into it. Austin goes up,
but gets caught with a belly-to-belly.
Angle gets another one to block a stunner attempt. Another suplex, and two more follow, which
gets two. Two backdrop suplexes, and Austin
is out of it. Great psychology, but the
announcers are too busy thinking of new ways to pimp the XFL to follow up on
the neck injury storyline and Austin having his own tactics thrown back at him
with better success by the champion.
Angle gets a gutwrench suplex, but Austin tries for a slam. Angle falls back on him, showing Austin’s
weakened back and neck, and gets a two count.
Another gutwrench follows, but Austin blocks the Olympic Slam with a
HUGE kneelift for the double-KO. You can
never go wrong with a double knockout in a big match, because the crowd always
counts along and it builds the drama.
Slugfest, and surprisingly Angle wins it before Austin makes the
comeback and stomps the requisite mudhole.
Spinebuster and double-bird elbow, and Austin doesn’t cover, preferring
to wait for the finisher. Stunner is
blocked, Angle’s reversal is blocked, KICK WHAM STUNNER…and in what is the
saddest sight for me to see, the crowd IMMEDIATELY looks to the aisleway, just
like they were trained to do by WCW when they did all those screwjob finishes
on Nitro. And indeed, here’s HHH to punk
out the ref at two and give us a non-finish for the best TV match I’ve seen
since almost a year ago. ****1/4
