The rivalry between the Olympic Gold Medalist and The Latino Heat was one of the highlights of the year. There was a lot of anticipation surrounding the feud. And this was due to the sheer amount of fun and entertainment that it provided to the fans. The rivalry started when Angle became the new general manager of SmackDown in the year 2004. This was due to the fact that Angle’s neck pain had returned. And as a result, Angle could not wrestle for the time being.
Angle was acting as a major heel in the show, hampering Eddie’s matches. Kurt Angle also cost Eddie Guerrero WWE Championship gold in his match against John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield. This further intensified the rivalry between the two. As a result, Eddie started chasing Angle for a match. Eddie finally got his hands over Angle in that year’s SummerSlam. Where both superstars faced each other in one on one singles match.
