Kevin nash big daddy cool was in wwf with Shawn Michael's before wcw, so really it's not one wwe legend

[@jmendoza2003]

@@bigserg400 I am aware that. But the WWE Legend I was referring to was Kurt Angle. Angle never wrestled in WCW. I know Nash Was in WWF. But also he was in WCW before WWF when he was Vinnie Vegas before he became a big star in WWF and then back to WCW with the NWO thing. Still, I'm not here to debate I just said how this match was great with these Legends.

[@ashfordabrahsm297]

Honestly, what made TNA stand out, was the six sided ring.

Apparently a load of wrestlers found it a pain to work though. Especially those coming from the WWE/WCW days

It’s hard to believe that Kurt Angle had been in TNA longer than WWE

[@will4486]

I like how when Nash “breaks up” the pin at 19:25 Angle’s shoulders stay down and booker stays on top of him continuously. That’s a 3 count lol

[@ptkbsq]

Kayfabe rules state that a pin is broken up whenever attacked, regardless of whether or not the shoulders are still flat, as it's no longer considered a "clean" pin as external factor is involved.
