Remember when that was a legit finish? Ouch! Palumbo just got flapjacked off the ropes through a table. Brock Lesnar scores with a standing spinebuster. Double arm suplex by Kurt Angle connects as Palumbo hits hard. Kurt Angle floors Chuck Palumbo. Chuck Palumbo gets locked in the Angle Lock! Submission victory! Vince McMahon just came out of nowhere with a chair! Brock Lesnar turns...and gets planted with a big shot to the head! Kurt Angle runs over...but also gets dropped with a vicious chair shot! Vince McMahon has put Lesnar \ Angle down by himself! My Opinion: These guys worked SO HARD...for a ** rating. Something went wrong somewhere, didn't it?
