#3 His favourite opponent
Over the years, Kurt Angle has shared the ring with some of the absolute best in the business. But of all those names, Angle cites Shawn Michaels as being his most favourite opponent.
Angle rattles off the usual plaudits, noting that “he just had it all” and that “he was so easy to work with,” but also goes on to draw attention to Michaels’ impeccable timing.
From his matches to his promos, Angle claims that “nobody in the business has had that kind of timing,” offering a slightly different spin on the kind of praise that’s typically sent Michaels’ way.

In terms of their actual matches, the pair met in one-on-one action on four separate occasions: twice on Raw and twice on pay-per-view, including their most memorable meeting from WrestleMania 21. There, it was Angle who emerged the victor, forcing Michaels to submit after a 27-minute epic that stole the show that night.
And to make that performance even more impressive, Angle recently revealed that prior to that match, the only move he and Michaels had practised was a routine sunset flip spot.
Safe to say, they nailed the spot on the big day.
