The Better Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle match?

[BifEverchad 0]

I have to ask this question, I apologize if its already been done like us. But what do you think, was the better Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle match between, Summerslam 2001 or Unforgiven 2001?

 

I'm making a comp. tape and I wanna include ONE of them...

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

Summerslam.

 

MUCH better and the ending doens't piss me off as much as others.

Definitely Summerslam...

 

While Unforgiven is a great match, I don't like the ending. The Ankle Lock submission ending was good, but the fact that Austin tapped out with his arms right near the ropes really pissed me off, because it set up the rematch which gave Angle a 2 week title reign. I love the ending with everyone pouring in the ring to celebrate, though.

 

Summerslam is a great match, and IMO, Angle's best WWF match to date. The DQ ending sucks, but it was necessary to keep both Austin & Angle strong. If I had to give star ratings... it would be ****1/2 for Slam, and ***3/4 for Unforgiven.

Match-wise: SummerSlam

 

Ending-wise: Unforgiven, I loved the celebration too.

Summerslam is one of my favourite matches involving either guy, so that one.

The Unforgiven match is just a flat match overall- the worst of their series.

 

The Summerslam match is just a wild ride of emotions and is the best match of their series

They had a really good match on Raw in Jan 01 - I believe it was the one where HHH came back.

[bob_barron 0]

Yes- The match was on January 8th, 2001 and is on the Action DVD.

 

I prefer the Summerslam match though

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Definately the Summerslam one. The Unforgiven one didn't do much for me.

[Guest Choken One]

They had a Great ***1/2 10 minute Raw match with a shitty ending...along with a ****1/2 Summerslam with another Shitty but understandable finish but the Unforgiven was just *** with a positive finish and of course the rematch was merely a recycled version of the Raw match and had the Regal screw job.

 

I recall another match though...

Between those two....

 

SummerSlam.

Summerslam, by far. Excellent selling by Angle and just a mind-blowing performance by Austin.

The SummerSlam match is better, but it is still very overrated. Go with that one.

[Damaramu 0]

The Raw rematch for the title was perhaps the worst Angle/Austin match I've ever seen. It was all chops and nothing else.

[Guest Ray]

I can only remember two Austin-Angle matches (SS01 and Raw 1/8/01). Both were very good, SS the best.

 

Compared to 1/8/01, how good are these?

I remember going nuts when Angle kept kicking out of the stunner, which is something no one else has done (that I remember) let alone three times.

 

The ending pissed me off of course, but it was the world title match BEFORE The "Main Event" so heel walks out as champ.

[Guest hhheld_down]

SummerSlam is the winner by far. I remember hating the ending with a passion back then but I can see why it was done. That was an awesome match that had me exhausted in the end. That should of been the ME and not Rock/Booker T.

[Guest Fook]

No contest: Summerslam wins

The Summerslam match was a classic that they tried to recapture at Unforgiven. It didn't quite work, but the celebration was awesome. It's just a shame that they didn't give Angle more time with that second reign, he was mad over and people were tired of Austin as champion.

[Guest The Old Me]

Their Summerslam bout was great.

even though the fans were CLEARLY behind RVD and wanted Angle out of the scene...

 

The biggest screw up from WWE was NOT going with Austin/RVD straight up at No Mercy

I think that the summerslam match was way better than Unforgiven. But I think that the Unforgiven match is a highly underrated match.
