2005 Reader's Choice for Match of the Year...
Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle
(WrestleMania 21)
2nd Place:
Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles
(TNA Turning Point)
3rd Place:
Shawn Michaels vs. Shelton Benjamin
(WWE Raw)
Reader Comments:
"The rematch was also brilliant, but the way Michaels sold the Anklelock before finally tapping out was theatre at its best. I was marking out big-time. Oh the shame."
- Craig Elder
"This match was just amazing, from the top rope Angle Slam, to Shawn's five minutes of being in the anklelock before he tapped. Those two told a story, not just wrestled, but made us want even more and had fans tired at the end."
- Adam Airforce
"I can't even remember how many times I watched this match. I waited for it to happen for years. I wasn't disappointed when I saw it."
- Christine Chasen
And now...
2005 Insanity Staff's Choice for Match of the Year...
Joe vs. Kobashi
(Ring of Honor - 10/1/05)
2nd Place:
AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe
(TNA Turning Point)
3rd Place:
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
(WrestleMania)
Staff Comments:
"Two of the best heavyweights in the world colliding in the hardest-hitting US match in ages. The match was greatly enhanced by a smart crowd that was nothing short of rabid for Kobashi and the match."
- Mallory Mahling
"Joe-Kobashi was one of the few matches that could really hold my attention in the last year. The atmosphere coupled with the in-ring ability of both men really made for something special. There were some other good matches this year, but this one was the clear winner in my book."
- James Guttman
"Coke Ma-Chine! Coke Ma-Chine! Hell's yeah."
