Someone's got to counter the anklelock with a low blow one day.

[ChrisMWaters]

Michaels got a roll-up pin reversal from the ankle-lock.

[SuperJerk]

Angle's being booked pretty strong here.

[Guest *KNK*]

I don't know why they bother with TV Iron Man matches, Commericals kill 1/2 the match and it's ratings death.

"Big match feel".

Actually it's "Masturbatory stroke off". Angle/Shawn III alone was "big match feel", they slapped on the gimmick to stroke their egos.

 

They easily could have gotten the same story with a 2/3 falls and saved the intrigue.

Apparently my sarcastic use of quotation marks was lost on you.

[Guest *KNK*]

To it's credit, I'm moderately enjoying this match but it's lacking the epic feel of WM22 to even compete with that match. It's killing Pt. 2 though as it's less contrived then that one was.

[razazteca]

Wouldnt it be funny if the announcers started using UFC terms when Angle uses his scissors restholds......oh wait Tazz and Cole are on the other show.

Odd Random Comment: I want Chris Masters to try and Cattle Mutilate the Masterlock. I'd cheer him for life if he did that.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Well nothing super good but decent. Much better than anything on Spike this year.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Note as the "live" wwe.com coverage ended with 18:32 left in the match, USA Network's "love" coverage came on with 17:50 left.

[Downhome]

What in the hell is wrong with Kurt's arm???

and who is flexible to take it and could the roid-piece do it without tearing something?

[Guest Askewniverse]

I'd say Griffin vs. Bonnar was better than anything in WWE this year.

[SuperJerk]

Shaq pimping himself is funny to me for some reason.

[Dips]

What do you mean Downhome?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Angle punches Shawn a lot. Crowd is sleepy. Cue Angle chinlock at 9:00.

[ChrisMWaters]

Kurt actually using non-ankle lock leg-work is cool to me.

[Guest *KNK*]

It's been 25 minutes? That sounds off to me...

[ChrisMWaters]

Michaels SOMEWHAT selling the leg work right now.

 

...and JR called the flying forearm the flying burrito!

[razazteca]

Kurt Angle needs to expand his submission moves. STF or Indian Deathlock would be better than the bodyscissors, chinlocks, etc...

[Guest *KNK*]

Yeah, They will do the OT spot.

[Downhome]

Damn, did HBK ever nail Kurt there.

[ChrisMWaters]

That kick may have knocked Kurt's bottom teeth loose.

[Guest *KNK*]

Kobashi must be in the back thinking "This is the best they can offer?"...

[razazteca]

Kurt Angle needs to do the Moonsault in this match.

[Guest Brian]

It'll get more MOTY votes than anything on this show so far.

[razazteca]

That was one weird counter.

[Guest *KNK*]

Yep. OT Spot.

[Guest Trecko]

LOL. Kurt is a beast.

[razazteca]

Kurt Angle using a halfcrab anklelock would rule.
