So Big Show postpones his US Title defense AGAIN. Geez... this will make it a good five months without DEFENDING it!
As much as I love Eddie, giving him the strap at NWO will be too soon. Lesnar has been on a tear, and fans won't perceive Eddie as a true champ. They'll just think it was a fluke.
With Goldberg having a ticket at NWO, it's already blatantly obvious that he'll screw Goldberg. So the surprising thing to do would be to have him try to screw Brock over but FAIL. That puts some intrigue. Instead, Angle interferes and screws Eddie over after... say losing the NWO match.
Problem is, of course, he's the only one who CAN win that match, unless they pull of some sort of No Contest finish (highly unlikely... it's not like HHH is in the match).
Bad move IMO. NWO could have been perfectly fine with Angle not even on the card. That would have added to his frustration (losing the Rumble to not even on the card the next month) and really given some boost to his heel turn. It would have also given a slot to more wrestlers.
