How the hell can you bring up the TLC match when the match had a totally different stipulation?

Taker was terrible at the time, but Angle was able to get something decent out of him. Angle also was a lot more well rounded at the time instead of his paint by numbers style he later adapted (Suplex, a few submissions, angle lock, a bunch of finishers near the end). So while it wasn't the greatest match, Angle's technique really made me get into the match once he took over.

Taker does win worst wrestling gear of the year though. As bad as the tank top and jeans was, his pants at this show was ugly as can be. Taker dressed just like a small tiny garbage wrestler in the indys would dress if he didn't have money for real ring gear.

And one last message about the TLC match. I just flat out hated it and got nothing from it. So why shouldn't I rank a match like Angle/Taker higher when I did get something good from it? You may not agree with how I view the match, but I'm sure there's plenty of "Good" matches you think are terrible. Yet, I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem rating a match better than the "good" match that you hate if you enjoyed the other match more.
