10 greatest TNA Wrestling matches

#9 Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe - Genesis 2006

Reached the hype

Although the build up for this match was just a little over a month, it quickly became the most hyped match in the four years of TNA's existence.

TNA labelled this a 'dream match' and although that is up for debate as Joe wasn't a huge star at the time, wrestling wise, they were kind of right. Kurt is arguably the best wrestler of all time and Joe was one of the best in the world at the time. The build up to the match had been excellent with the most believable pull apart brawls you will ever see in wrestling, the build up was so good that this was quickly becoming the best feud in company history, before the match itself took place.

While the match itself was under 15 minutes, they made the most out of it and it was quite frankly a great match. The atmosphere in the Impact Zone had never been quite like it was, which made it even more special. Kurt and Joe were just made the wrestle each other, the two had fantastic chemistry together and not even Kurt's matches with AJ Styles could top them. The action featured a series of submissions, reversals, and power moves, it was beautiful. Kurt forced Joe to tap for the hard earned victory.
