Same difference, doesn't take much of a character stretch for her to be a b*tch.

Then she's doing her job. Yeah she's playing the part of a b*tch PERFECTLY, even i hate her right now.

I can live with her being a heel, and I appreciate that she's doing that job well, but it's not her character that bothers me. It's her voice. It's so squeaky, she makes my ears bleed.

Immortal is in the ring now. I just realized, outside of Gunner everyone in the group is 40 or older.

And outside of the Knockouts match, there hasn't really been a match to speak of on this show and there's only 20 minutes left. Le sigh.

Huh. Bischoff junior seems to have something to get off his chest. I wonder if this means a transition from referee to wrestler.

Bischoff slaps Hogan & Immortal gets into the ring. Sting comes from the crowd i'm guessing with an extra baseball bat to scare off Immortal.

Now Garrett Bischoff is on the ramp as Eric walks backwards into him then starts yelling at him. Apparently Garrett has a tattoo of his last name on his chest for some reason, he's ripped btw. Then he punches his father.

Main Event is FINALLY coming up.

Storm acts like it's just another match so Roode gets in his face telling him its not just another match, it's a world title match. Roode's got more intensity then Storm, tonight its like Storm isn't worthy of the shot at the belt. He starts off with well, my partner isn't getting another shot so i guess i'm next in line. Then he treats the match like it's just a regular match without anything at stake. Why does he get this shot again?!!

Its not Roode being pissed he's not getting the shot, he's trying to get Storm psyched up for this match. Roode doesn't deserve this match tonight because he hasn't earned it. Last time i checked, guys who get World Title shots earn them somehow. It's like they gave Storm this shot by default and it makes very little kayfabe sense.

No no, I mean how Storm was treating this like a regular match, not why he's getting the shot. I honestly can't give you a reason for that besides that it's a means of putting it on Roode.

I know, Roode isn't getting pissed off at Storm, he's just getting him psyched.

WHAT THE HELL?!! Angle takes 1 finisher and thats it?!!

... Well that doesn't come off as a legitimate win. That was a total fluke. I feel bad for Storm, this doesn't feel like a win he earned.

Not gonna lie though. I like that belt on The Cowboy.

Kurt gets in some punches & Storm only hits 1 f*cking kick and thats enough to take down Angle for the 3 count. I'd be more believable of Storm as champ if this match took more then the amount of time it takes for Triple H or The Undertaker to do their entrances.

He needs a good strong first defense to not make this win seem tainted.

I entirely agree. He's capable of putting on an awesome match, and with Kurt Angle of all people, that match should have been WAAAAY more than it was.

And this is why I love Bobby Roode. <3

Well maybe not tainted but it doesn't seem World Title worthy, it's like they did it just to shock people. Not because it was the right move right off the bat all they wanted was the shock of it.

I can see Roode turning heel at some point, he did FAR too much for himself to get a title match, lose it and watch his best friend win that title the next night.

That's exactly what it feels like. I don't want Roode to be heel though.

Well, I'm off to get ready for my 8am class tomorrow. Later!

I'm cool with Storm being champion but that whole match was just crap.

They better have some grand plan for this one.
