Kurt Angle's 5 best Tag-Team matches

#1 Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio (No Mercy 2002)

This is not only the best Kurt Angle tag team match, but it was the best match of the entire year of 2002 and one of the greatest tag team matches of all time. This was the final match in the tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions for the SmackDown brand, and it delivered in spectacular fashion. Angle and Benoit were reluctant tag team partners who had spent a number of months as rivals in 2001 before Benoit’s injury and the beginning of the invasion storyline. They would rekindle their feud not long after losing the tag title belts and failing to regain them over the course of the following months.

It didn’t stop them from being an unbelievable team (short-lived, just like all of Angle’s tag partners, which is par for the course for him), and if you haven’t seen this match you really should just drop everything and find it immediately. You won’t regret it. Edge and Mysterio were the perfect opponents for these two, and you would be hard-pressed to find a better tag team match.

If you want to compile a comprehensive list of great tag team matches that Kurt Angle participated in, just go to the WWE Network and watch SmackDown from August through November of 2002. Heck, just watch SmackDown from that time period in general. It was amazing.
