By the midway point of this match, all eyes in the house were fixated on the Olympic Hero and Showstopper painting a damn near-perfect picture of a pro wrestling match.
Before the 2005 Royal Rumble, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels interactions were minimal. One perfectly placed Sweet Chin Music by Michaels changed all of that.
Angle entered the Royal Rumble match as one of the favorites to earn the main event spot at WrestleMania.
Being the ultra-competitive Olympic Gold Medalist, Angle couldn’t let this stand, returning to the ring and illegally eliminating Shawn Michaels from the match.
