I think Kurt Angle is the only man to make Hulk Hogan and Undertaker tap out. It was huge because the Hulkster and the Deadman rarely tap out in their careers.

[@harry_el_SUScio]

Angle was the man with the credibility to beat anyone at any time.

[@kevinsteelflex7371]

Hulk was probably happy to tap out to a US gold medalist lol

[@rockitloud222]

Sexy Kurt really made all those ankles hurt

[@atb1175]

and he made Taker smile with a kiss. He's the whole package.

[@rhedosaurus2251]

Hogan must have *REALLY* seen how special Kurt was back then to simply agree to tapout to the Anklelock.

[@gamerk316]

Lets be real, I think even Vince was expecting him to say "Sorry, but that doesn't work for me Brother!"

[@RegoVl]

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

When Hogan came back to the WWE in 2002 he played nice for awhile, probably because he needed a job. He put over Kurt Angle, Triple H, The Rock, and Brock Lesnar clean. That's about half of the clean losses he took in his career.

[@rhedosaurus2251]

@@BiggieTrismegistus Don't forget how he dropped the title to Taker as well. Although I wouldn't be surprised if that was due to Taker doing some backstage politics due to payback for Hogan cutting short Taker's first reign.

[@My19812011]

Didn’t Hogan agree to lose to Angle and Lesnar in exchange for 6 months off ? I’m sure Vince said if he put them two over he could have the rest of that year off, if I remember right Angle made Hogan tap and Lesnar made Hogan pass out

[@DaddyFutbol]

Kurt made Legends Tap Out : Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, HBK, Chris Benoit, HHH, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio...

And Cena

[@pourdakoolaid]

Brock?

[@WrestlingGod-f4v]

@@pourdakoolaid I was thinking the same thing too, but I do remember there was an episode of SmackDown where Brock Lesnar did actually tap out to Kurt angle in like an Iron Man match and the other match before that can someone tell me if that’s actually true of what I just said

[@ABIT-cb1qh]

All time great

[@Iskaral_Pust]

Asuka tapping out to Charlotte at WM is one of the worst booking decisions in modern wrestling history. Not only was it clean as a whistle, but Charlotte was "injured" and could only post on one arm. So essentially Charlotte tapped her clean to a weakened figure 8.

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Yup. And Nakamura should have beat Styles that night too.

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Asuka getting buried at WM 34 was awful decision

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Ilja Dragunov is the only man who tapped Gunther out . Can't wait to see this rematch on main roster

[@eltee704]

You gotta hope they build that up heavily and to some decent PLE encounter. Gotta imagine that's why ilja didn't get to the KOTR semis against Gunther. That's ple match not SD!

Kane loss via tapped out was rare moment in Kane's career

[@ShaneDouglas713]

FACTS

[@91mrpogi]

Or how about Kane tapping out to Chris Benoit in a match where Chris Benoit can only win via submission whereas Kane can win through normal victory conditions of submission and pinfall

[@eddherring4972]

Remember Kane tapping to Kurt his first. Kane was at the time still in the Vorhees/Mayers mould and him tapping was a major shock.

[@Notoriouswrestlingfan12314]

Asuka losing at wrestlemania was a bad decision especially why give the rub towards already established star like charlotte flair

[@NuradinAlas]

Asuka should've won the title was WM34 having her getting buried was bad booking decision

[@Ludoed]

Like Carmella beat Charlotte clean later, Flair's victory at WM 34 makes no sense.

[@0newingedcrow]

Nepotism

[@mr.x2870]

Kurt Angle is underrated man. People only talks about Undertaker, Stone Cold, Rock but this man was dominating all of them in his own way.

[@C280S]

It's Benoit making HHH for me.. i watched it live and remember thinking there's no way Triple H (during the Reign of Terror) is gonna Tapout to Chris Benoit at Wrestlemania and sure enough 10 seconds later Chris was champion

[@Deathpool_04]

Benoit’s first match after joining in 2000 was against HHH and they also allowed Benoit to make HHH tap out there but it didn’t officially count since the ref didn’t see it.

[@Obscusion2]

Another one to add would be Bret Hart in 1997. In what would be his final TV match during his original WWF run, Bret Hart fought Ken Shamrock on the go-home Raw before Survivor Series '97. During the finish Shamrock would put Bret in the ankle lock & Bret started tapping, but since the ref was distracted due to a Hart Foundation/DX scuffle on the outside it wasn't counted. Since tapping out was still a new concept to WWE at the time, as Shamrock is credited as the guy who introduced it there, it was wild to see Bret actually tap out to a submission hold, since he was known for the Sharpshooter, though I believe he did visibly tap during his WCW run a few times later on in a similar "it didn't actually count" fashion.

[@tomseville2345]

You could reasonably have stated that it was his last Raw match EVER, no one would blame you for not including his "match" with The Miz in 2010, which was obviously more of an angle, like all his "in-ring" comeback exploits; though granted, I'm sure some joker would have "corrected" you...

[@TheInternetMemeDude]

If Kurt can make The Likes Of Kane, John, Brock, The Undertaker, Austin, and Hulk Hogan Tap out. I’m pretty sure he can make Anyone Tap Out.

[@JacksonLane02]

Tapping out doesn't work for Hogan Brother. Or maybe it does Dude

Roman Reigns And Sheamus Tap Out was rear moment

Sheamus tapped out to Gunther is recent one . Rare to see Sheamus being tapped out to submission move

[@williammcdermott8692]

That is true that is true the ring general didn't tap out in that match he only slapped the mat twice in order for the submission to be counted you have to slap the mat at least three times

Charlotte Flair...she is lucky someone like AJ Lee is not around. AJ Lee would have put her in her place multiple times on the mic and in the ring, to the point where AJ would be undeniable.

I agree because if AJ was there, she would’ve literally beat the living hell out ofCharlotte in and behind-the-scenes

[@xFoxx1996x]

I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure John Cena tapped out to Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle before as well! Kurt can make the most invincible people tap out, it's wild, yet believable to see his name brought up this many times on this list lol

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

So Kurt Angle made ankle lock to the likes of Hulk Hogan , Undertaker , Brock Lesnar & even John Cena & have them tapped out in rare occasions . This was one of Kurt's great achievement

I was more surprised Taker tapped out than Hogan.

[@cemetarygates79]

Asuka's initial run was epic and their timing and way they ruined her streak was terrible, and I like Flair. Lesnar tapping out to Benoit is no weak move. The Crippler was one of THE best and most believable submission/technical guys of my lifetime. Booked VERY well once in WWE. Roman is 💩 so he can tap to Gilberg and I would be happy. 😎

God, Cain Velasquez run was a complete waste of time. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I heard one of the reasons his match with Brock Lesnar was only a little over 2 minutes was because he had suffered a serious knee injury.

[@JoeFlanagan-ii9mb]

So let me get this straight, Hulk Hogan didn’t have a problem with putting over Kurt Angle angle (which was the right move) but yet he wouldn’t put over other wrestlers that were younger than him like Bret Hart, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, etc.

[@claytonmize6159]

I mean Angle was a Olympic Gold Metalist so I guess Hogan thought it wouldn't hurt his aura. Only thing I can think of.

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

When Hogan came back in 2002 he played nice for awhile because the WWE was the only place he could get a job. He put over Angle, Triple H, The Rock, and Brock Lesnar clean. That's about half of the clean losses he took after becoming WWE champion the first time.

[@HiddenBrother619]

[@oogabooga9985]

Hogan actually tapping is suprising

[@HMWSports]

If I remember correctly, Kurt Angle submitting Austin was a call by Vince McMahon after 9/11. Vince believed the American people needed a hero at that time, and putting the belt on Angle in his hometown of Pittsburgh would get a huge hero's response.

Considering Undertaker put Benoit on his Mount Rushmore for when it came to the smaller wrestlers, he probably would’ve allowed Benoit to make him tap out if had a legitimate feud together which never happened. Benoit and Angle rivaled each other when it comes making wrestlers tap out.

Hogan in 2002 had the most generous (only generous) year of hos entire career. Constantly put others over.

Roman reigns Is literally the most overrated person and wrestler I have ever seen in the history of wwe. The roman stand on twitter are brainwashed in believing roman is better then everyone he came at the right time. Roman reigns barely showed up to work and defended the title. No way his reign is going to consider being most memorable. He wouldn’t stand a chance against prime Austin, John cena , or undertaker Roman was at the right place and right time when legends were getting old and started to slow down.

Sadly not "unbelievable" that they jobbed Asuka by tap-out AGAIN to Charlotte in 2019 on SmackDown, JUST so Charlotte could be SD Women's Champ at Mania 35; another reason Asuka's great Rumble '19 match and tap out win over Becky was forgotten soon after...
