You know, I'll bet Charlie would never say this because he respects Kurt so much, but if Angle was really down to do it, Angle could've gotten this done. Angle, although not at the status of Taker, JBL, or HHH does have a decent amount of pull in the company and if he strongly believed in the angle, he could've gone directly to Vince and they could have done it.

By the same token, Angle could have used his pull to get rid of the rapist angle with Booker T...but obviously he didn't.
