This was Kurt Angle's second big match on PPV
For 17 months, Joe was undefeated until he lost to Angle at TNA Genesis 2006. This was the rematch a month later and much anticipated. They delivered it big time.

This was a huge improvement on their first match at Genesis in every way.
The mat work, the reversals, the submissions, the sparingly used power moves, those vicious strikes, the continuity from their previous match, the subtly shifted dynamic between the two of them, the crowd, Everything about it was amazing.
This is what professional wrestling should be all about. Just amazing wrestling between two best wrestlers to step foot in the wrestling ring. This is the best match in the trilogy of matches between the Olympic Gold Medallist and the Samoan Submission Machine.
Definitely, a must watch!

My name is Richie Jewell. I'm 25 years old and I have autism since I was born. Like everyone else in the world, I have an up-down life like a sea-saw. I went through some of the stuff that has been a rocky roadblock during my life. It was very challenging to live through and what not. The thing that helped me keep living was wrestling. It was escape from my troubles since I was 8. Although wrestling had its up and downs over the years, It was helping me to cope through getting picked on, depression and so many others. From WWE, ROH, TNA Wrestling, Lucha Underground, PWG and New Japan Pro Wrestling, Im very thankful for the sport that has helped to cope through and gave me wonderful moments to witness from my own eyes. If it wasnt for the sport, I wouldn't know where I would be today.If I could snap my fingers and be non-autistic, I would not because then, it wouldn't be me. Autism is part of who I am and what made me so unique This who I am and always will be: I am Richie Jewell.
