Kurt is one of my all-time favorites, but he did not need this, not at this point in his career.

Remember, remember the...20th of March? They both should've cut promos about the Ides of March.

Oh f*** what? Lashley TAPPED? Ridiculous. But he was in the hold for several seconds so that kept him strong! I cracked up when he tapped. That's so f***ing dumb, haha. I can't believe it. You really couldn't just have him lose after a third Angle Slam or just pass out in the hold?

Stop acting like this is Kurt's first TNA championship.

f***ing ugh. I knew it was coming and it still pisses me off. In no way should Lashley have tapped either. Ugh. Wait 14 times? They wouldn't go for making him a 17 time champ by the end of the year would they? Hell, I'm expecting it.

Josh Matthews is absolutely awful. Lashley and Angle are hugging after a title change and this dude just ignores it to scream about Kurt Angle's superman win.

TNA: "So just in case you all missed it earlier, Jeff Hardy is returning next week."

I will say this.
Last week, I went nuts over the production crew completely bungling the main event. This week, they gave the TV audience lots of time to digest the importance of the moment and how much it means to the new champ. So, thumbs up in that regard.

WWE is running an angle with John Cena on whether or not he still has it, in the mid card mind ya, after ten years on top. Cena with no major injuries, just time on top. TNA is running the same angle with Kurt, in the main event, after 15 years and multiple career threatening injuries and addictions. One may never see the World Title again, while the other has been given the title because TV network they are on has "America" in the name and thinks it is smart branding.
Just so much wrong with all this.

You really couldn't just have him lose after a third Angle Slam or just pass out in the hold? Passing out in an ankle lock would piss me off even more honestly. I only buy passing out in holds if the airway is restricted or blood loss. I just didn't feel like they worked that hold enough to warrant the tap out, it was hardly a HBK at Mania 21 situation.

Maybe TNA did it for publicity. They probably think when Kurt gets his next DUI, TMZ will refer to him as TNA world champion instead of former WWE wrestler.
That's the only explanation I have for putting the belt on Angle once again when no one in the world, but Kurt, wanted it.

They think being Destination AMERICA and having an Olympic gold winning AMERICAN as champion of their wrestling show as good branding.

I think you can run it with Cena though because he still obviously has it. You talk it up as he doesn't despite everyone thinking otherwise and then when he delivers it makes it a major moment. You cannot do it with Angle though because he is off so much that it makes it true and is just pitiful. Angle is guy that should have shown up as a mystery opponent for Rusev, getting destroyed and causing Cena to come after him.

I thought they used his WWE, WCW, WHC, WWE TAG, NWA (which never actually held according to the NWA), TNA and IWGP.

Yep, they count his reign of the now defunct Memphis Championship Wrestling (WWE's developmental at the time) as a World Title.

All that great booking of Lashley the past year eliminated in one match. I actually don't mind tap out finishes in general, but Lashley is the type of character where they have to keep him strong (TM Roman Reigns) because he doesn't have the depth in his character to overcome that. He's not the Rock who can come out the following week, cut some jokes, and get his heat back.
They really dropped the ball on this one. They should have built the company (whatever is left of it) around Lashley. Too bad. I'm almost positive Kurt had a title win in his contract, otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all.
