Being used as a setup to something for Shane McMahon? He was used like that recently I'm sure.

I was going more for the guy that made the rest of the roster look bad via his suicidal offense ... and the guy that picked up pinfall victories over Taker, Kane, Angle, Rock, and Austin.

That's correct, I was actually there. It was taped from Lafayette, LA.

[Guest ToddRoyal]

Yikes. Legend must have been WAY in the doghouse before he was released. Though Brawler did appear again in the card, so maybe it was just Lombardi appreciation day or something.
