It is sure to feature high-up on the night.
Author's take
Angle knows what he's talking about.
It is just so enjoyable to get all of this information from a legend like Angle, almost every week.
His advice to CM Punk is definitely spot on, and Angle's nod to Chyna was a nice touch too.
Who would've known that a classic like Angle vs Lesnar for the WWE Title would have had so much anxious energy behind it?
Anyway, I can't wait for Angle's match at WM 34 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which is only 24 hours away.
