Benoit then followed this up with a diving headbutt from the other corner of the cage. Just an incredible match and no surprise both guys have had potentially career ending neck injuries.
If I have to add one match, and jesus that is tough since Angle has so many (sneekily I'll have to come back and add more 1 by 1) then I'll go for the triple threat at Mania in 2000 (only excellent match on the card) against Benoit & Jericho with Angle's IC and Euro belts on the line. A great story that did so much, Benoit rightly got the IC belt by pinning Jericho and Jericho then won the Euro belt pinning Benoit. The booking made everyone still look strong, two guys came out with belts and the other came out protected and still looking strong having not been pinned.
