Kurt Angle is one of the greatest to ever enter a WWE ring.

Though his name is not held in the same lofty esteem as The Rock or 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, the Olympian's incredible in-ring ability and charisma helped immensely during the Monday Night Wars.

In one iconic moment from RAW, Angle took on Chris Benoit in a Steel Cage match, a match-type foreign to both men.

Climbing the cage, it seemed Kurt had the match won, until he stunned everyone watching with a death-defying moonsault from the top.

Unfortunately for Kurt, this would be his downfall as Benoit would roll out of the way, leaving Angle hitting the mat face first.

A shocking moment in an incredible match, you won't be seeing something like this anytime soon.
