I attribute the less than expected match to a few things:
1) Angle's rolled ankle,
2) The fact that there's an upcoming rematch, so they didn't want to go all out just yet, and
3) They rushed this whole thing way, way, way too fast. With a few exceptions, all of the great matches in history have been great in part because of the storyline behind them. There's no storyline here besides a vicious headbutt. And Al Snow headbutted things all the time. Look where he is. Headbutting, an angle, does not make.
