#6 Kurt Angle vs. Sting - Bound For Glory 2007

A dream match that lived up

Kurt Angle vs. Sting was a dream match that WWE would have loved to have booked, and very nearly did at one point in 2002 but never happened when WWE and Sting's brief negotiations came to an end. WWE had hoped to book the match for WrestleMania X8.

The plans for Kurt Angle vs. Sting immediately came into play when Kurt Angle signed with TNA in 2006, the same year that Sting had months earlier. The first one-on-one meeting between the two was saved for TNA's biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory, in 2007.

The build up to the bout was well executed and when it was all said and done, we were left with the best match Sting had wrestled since the late 90's. It had that ‘big match’ feel to it and the crowd loved it. Everything was well paced and was just overall exciting. The match had a nice back and forth feel to it, while Angle seemed to out wrestle the Stinger for a while.

Some vintage moves from both man's playbooks, convincing false finishes, well timed interference from Kevin Nash and great heel work from Angle. Sting pinned Kurt to lift his second World Championship in TNA.
