Speaking about the main event match, Vito says he had no problem with Kurt Angle dressing like a member of The Shield because this entire match was build around The Shield’s team environment.
In terms of Kurt Angle’s return to the ring in the main event, Vito thought Angle looked like someone who hadn’t wrestled in a while. He looked bewildered and his timing was off throughout, and quite frankly he just didn’t look like someone who belonged in the ring. Vito says that it’s tough to step back in the ring after a lengthy absence, so he gives credit to Angle for stepping in at the last minute.
He goes on to say that there were several missed table spots during this match and those can be very painful to take. He actually thought Angle was coming back in a milk truck but we got a garbage truck instead. Overall, he thought this match felt as if all the talents tried to squeeze in 100 spots and they ended up doing 105.
Vito grades the show somewhere between a D+ and C.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
