Anybody else feel the way they handled the whole "Angle suddenly smackdown" explnation was a bit....half...no, total assed? I know ive gotta cut them SOME slack given the fact they didnt screw raw up this week like it thought they would, but it seemed so cheap. Jsut the way angle said it, it seemed really fucking cheesy. I thought it was a contract loop hole that got him on smackdown, not a contract expiring? any ways why have we never heard of this loop hole/expiring before? They should have just let our wwe fan memory kill off this question like they did with all the other "WTF was that about" moments theyve given us. Or thrown Candice Michelle otu there and have her do that dance, THAT would have been a better explnation.

They've used contract expiry before to have wrestlers jump between shows. I can't think of an example right now, but I know that it's happened at least once.

Why do you think they can't just up and go to other shows? Just because Vince said so? No, they have contracts with the GMs like baseball players have contracts with their teams.

That's how they got Matt Hardy to RAW right when Lita came back right before the 03 Survivor Series.

That's how they do it in the Smackdown v Raw game, so its believable I guess.

I can't wait for Funky to play with this one and SVT to spazz again. :D

What's not to buy? On a regular basis, contracts reach their end. Hell, it happened wth Christian and Jericho in real life, so why not on TV? Further, once you've "expired" you'll end up a free agent.

I'm missing the part that's so hard to buy.

Even with something as fresh and unexpected as Angle appearing on Smackdown to win the title doesn't satisfy you, does it? I mean, this is the guy who every mark here fucking loves and you still want to bitch and moan about how he won.

So I suggest that you shut the fuck up and just be glad that it's not Henry or JBL with the strap, but someone as talented as Angle. Don't get lost in the details or get pedantic about 'what legitimate reason' Angle had for appearing on Smackdown, just be grateful that some of the writers took pity on the idiots that make up the Smackdown audience and decided to do something special.

Jeez... :mad:

Some people need to find something to complain about i guess, it's their only way of starting up a discussion.

But Jesus, there are bigger things to complain about.

You know, things that actually don't make sense?

Vince McMahon had a segment with a black woman.

Raw doesn't have a full-time GM at the moment.
Kurt Angle's contract ran out during this time.
No GM means he wasn't resigned.
Because of this Angle could jump.

There.

In fairness, Shelton is not a woman.

Oh, you meant...
