Meh I just love the idea of him wrestling in a WWE ring. He'll be slower by a few steps, but he'll still be kurt. Plus, relatively fresher than he would have been during his TNA run. Will probably pull out a few extra stops.

I fear for Kurt Angle.

I have no problem WWE doing this.

I have a problem with putting him in a TLC Match, a match that often includes Heinous bumps. So either they protect him and in turn, Rollins and Ambrose more then likely get injured.

Or we see Kurt's last match ever.

But none of the matches on this card or any card this year have had a decent build. The fact I haven't heard about this match being discussed for weeks in advance and having some crappy reason for the match means I'm much, much more excited than I would be with whatever build WWE would shit out.

Kurt Angle for Shield Mastermind manager role

This is big...it suggests something bigger than meningitis is my opinion.

In a perfect world, they wouldn't use Angle at all, I don't think they wanted to. It's a B-level PPV, no need for Angle.

The fact he is being used means they are expecting more people to go down, perhaps for a while.

Left wondering if there is some sort of scandal about to kick off.

LET'S GO MENIN-GI-TIS! LET'S GO MENIN-GI-TIS! LET'S GO MENIN-GI-TIS! LET'S GO MENIN-GI-TIS!

Also, returning to a WWE ring for the first time to a FUCKING TLC MATCH is probably the most Kurt Angle thing ever.

Oh god, worst case scenario:

This. I will now give them 10 dollars to sub to the network.

Well, this is interesting.

Balor/Styles (if Vince lets them have their way) has the potential to bring the house down. And give NJPW a boost in Bullet Club merchandise sales. Even if it's a throwaway and the crowd is chanting "Bullet Club" during the whole match, it'll be something to see.

Angle stepping back in the ring is.........interesting. Strange move since this would have been the perfect chance to let Jason Jordan get a chance to prove himself since his storyline has gone completely nowhere since the Alpha breakup.

Whatever. Could be worse. Could have just scrapped the whole PPV.

60% chance Kurt does a moonsault off a ladder.

SHUT UP. DON'T PUT THAT OUT THERE.

Not sure how contagious viral meningitis is but it seems a bit risky to use anyone from the Smackdown brand since they could potentially spread the illness there.

I will laugh my balls off if this is a bait and switch for Jordan.

Would've been hilarious if Cena had to be the replacement because Reigns couldn't do his job properly.

The entire Shield reunion was awkwardly rushed. So I guess awkwardly rushing Angle's return is appropriate.

Just hope Angle doesn't take any fucking stupid bumps. I will cringe at pretty much every "impact" move he's involved in.

Would probably destroy Jordan's face push with fans if that happened. Like Rumble 2015 levels of booing for anything Jordan does in the match.

Listen, man.

After enough time, duct tape and bubblegum calcifies into an impenetrable and unbreakable adamantium shell.

Viral is better than bacterial

Oh it's True , It's Damn True. I am very happy to see Our Olympic Hero back in ring.

BTW ( no joke here ). Viral Meningitis can be spread through herpes type 2 ( genital herpes )

So there is a chance a lot of wrestlers have been fucking around. Maybe Nia Jax got drunk and let a train get run on her?

That should be in the make up a rumor thread :lol:

The Club Explodes

We'll have to see if JoJo is still on ring announcer duty this Sunday. If no, then Roman and Bray have been tag teaming outside the ring.

I don't think he Sheild reunion was rushed

Agree, feel like a WWE build to Styles vs Balor would kind of ruin it anyway. They have their own history without ever meeting in the ring. At least I don't think they have ever had a match but coming out of nowhere makes it intriguing. I'm sure they kill it and might even get the Good Brothers involved in someway, assuming they don't have the mumps as well.

JoJo got the herps

Anyone complaining about the lack of build is assuming WWE would have been capable of a good build anyway. At this point, I say they cram everything they can into the next 6 months or so in a frenzy and then burn Titan Towers to the ground along with all known footage of Raw from the past 15 years.

Kinda with you here. I had no interest and now I do.

Finn Balor VS AJ Styles needs a build also. I don't follow anything outside of the WWE like most of the fans, so I'm not creaming my pants like the rest of you.

I'm sure it will be a good match, but a build would be nice.

lol the build would be AJ Styles running down Finn's dog.

"I want some"
"lol u dont want none"
"Yeah I do"
"k"

Needs a rumor thread of its own.

1st world wrestling fans problem.

This sounds really weird to people who have been watching for decades. Back when it was a wrestling show hot matches people wanted to see happended all the time. Didnt need to be a soap opera just to do a match.

Kids these days...

Commentator: got a hot match tonight!

Fans: niiiiiiice

"Smart" fans: @#$%!

Was just watching Nitro from 96. Flair defended the world title against the giant and then the next week defended it against luger.

Stick man would have been sooooooo hot back then

I have been very uninterested in Finn Balor. Everyone here takes his load on the regular but I'm still trying to figure him out. He has an entrance where the fans can play a part, other than that I see a cruiserweight who plays dress up every now and then.

Yeah im i down with that, but those points are not mutually exclusive.
