Without a doubt, this is the best match Lesnar ever competed in, in spite of the failed Shooting Star Press attempt. The anticipation for this match was intense, it had one of the best build ups in recent memory, ​and when bell-time came, these two athletes did not disappoint. Both Angle and Lesnar performed like two men with something to prove, and, in their own ways, I suppose they did, Angle knowing he was taking time off after this PPV from a company and industry that notoriously leaves people behind and Lesnar being the bright, rising star he was. ​
