Two points:
(1) I have no idea where that picture came from. If that was actually on TV during the summer of 2003, and is actually them kissing, then I completely misjudged the Angle/Lesnar situation.
(2) My initial insistance that Angle was booked strong in summer of 2003 was referring to the actual booking (the planning of what matches will take place and how the matches themselves will unfold), not the pretaped segments that lead up to Brock's heel turn.
