#5.) Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle (Lockdown 2008):
The best part about Angle venturing to TNA was the new and fresh crop of opponents that he had to face. Among the top of them was Samoa Joe, who he had already proven to have great chemistry with. At Genesis 2006, a freshly debuted Kurt Angle ended Joe’s undefeated streak in an incredible bout.
Their Lockdown bout two years later had a very different feel to it. It was a cage match that was presented more as an MMA bout. Joe and Angle being as good as they are made the match feel as legitimate as possible after a series of strong strikes, punches, mat wrestling and submissions. Joe would end up winning the match to win his sole TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
