411’s TNA Hard Justice Report 8.16.09

Hey yo. Welcome to 411’s Hard Justice Report with a very ill and very uncomfortable Chris Lansdell and the usual host of cartoon characters. Before my body shuts down on me, let us get this party on the road, huh?

Whoa, they got Stephen Hawking! Come on, you’d love to see him in a match with Eric Young. The opening video focuses on Matt Morgan in the main event.

X-Division #1 Contender’s Steel Asylum Match: Suicide vs. Chris Sabin vs. Amazing Red vs. Alex Shelley vs. Jay Lethal vs. Daniels vs. Consequences Creed

Lord, have mercy on my fingers and my keyboard. The Guns are out first and together, followed by Amazing Red who still looks 12. Daniels gets a big pop. Lethal Consequences are out together as well, which leaves us Suicide and Dinero. Suicide appears from a cloud of smoke, pretty sweet. Nice continuity with Lethal and Creed still pointing at Suicide’s mask. To the surprise of no-one, Dinero is Elijah Burke, and he’s a street preacher from Harlem allegedly.

Everyone attacks everyone. Daniels is on Sabin and whips him into Shelley. Orlando is chanting for the Pope. The Guns suplex Daniels on top of Suicide. Creed gets a European on the Pope then chases after Suicide who’s at the top. Daniels leaps off the second rope into a shot by the Guns who hit the double kick and throw him to the cage. The Pope cuts Creed off but gets crotched. Creed with jabs to Red, Red ducks the final shot but gets caught by a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker by Lethal. Camel Clutch/low dropkick combo by Lethal and Creed. HOLY CRAP Dinero catches Lethal mid-handspring and hits a release German. The Guns hit a double kick to his gut then hit a low dropkick to either side of his head. Nice, the Guns are getting some serious spotlight. Daniels body slams Sabin off the second rope but then gets a jawbreaker off the top by Shelley. Suplex by Suicide to Red. Shelley hangs Dinero in the tree of woe, Suicide grabs him in a waistlock but Shelley escapes just before Sabin nails suicide with a forearm. Sabin whips Suicide and Shelley hits an overhead throw INTO DINERO IN THE TREE OF WOE!!! Sweet. Hesitation dropkick to Dinero! The Guns go up, Lethal Consequences cut them off. All four men are perched on the top rope…ENZIGUIRI by Creed to Sabin! Lethal RAMS Shelley’s head into the cage! Now Daniels cuts him off…ICONOCLASM! Daniels tries to escape but Dinero cuts HIM off! They exchange shots and Dinero ducks a punch! Daniels punches steel! SPEAR OFF THE ROPES BY DINERO! Both men were sitting on the top when he hit that. Dropkick by Suicide to the Pope, Red cuts Suicide off but gets hit with a Finlay Roll. Suicide uses his momentum to go up after Shelley HOLY SHIT Sabin ran up behind him and release Germaned him off the top and into Red and Dinero!!!! Creed and Lethal go after Shelley but he hits them both with a crossbody! DDT/Flatliner combo! STOs by Dinero and Daniels to Shelley and Sabin, then they go at each other. Dinero whips Daniels who just runs up the ropes, Dinero follows and tries a double superplex, Suicide runs up…TOWER OF DOOM~! Creed tries to TKO Shelley but Shelley escapes and…umm…wow. They tie up Lethal and Creed in about 5 different submission holds at once, and that’s about all I can say about that. Simply an awesome visual. Red doesn’t like the visual and kicks Shelley in the skull. Red and Suicide trading shots, they trade counters and Suicide slams him face first. Spinebuster Slam by Dinero on Daniels! Blue Thunder on Dinero by Daniels! Sliced Bread by Shelley on Daniels! Face-first powerbomb by Lethal on Shelley! Tornado DDT by Sabin on Lethal! Gorilla press gutbuster by Creed on Sabin! FUCK ME a DDT-rana by Red! Red tries to climb but Shelley stops him. Knees by Red, now Creed, Suicide and Dinero and Daniels…fuck it everyone is climbing in the same corner. 7 man tower? TOP ROPE FLATLINER by Daniels to Dinero! Looked like a sliced bread from Suicide to Creed. Power bomb/sliced bread by the Guns to Lethal! Red with a pair of flying tornado inverted DDTs to the Guns and he’s got a clear run! Daniels is closest and is trying to stop him! Red and Daniels are both hanging off the roof now, and Daniels throws him off into the crowd below! Daniels is hanging by his leg from the top of the cage! Suicide is climbing and is close but Dinero catches him and uses knee strikes to take him down! This is Dinero’s to lose…and he gets down??? He wanted to ram Suicide into the cage and now Daniels has righted himself! He’s free!

Winner: Daniels via escape
Rating: ***½ Great showcase for the Guns and some lovely spots, plus a really strong debut showing for Dinero. However it was a spotfest, Dinero climbing down from a winning position to hurt Suicide some more made no sense, and the camerawork made it hard to follow a lot of the action. As an opener it was perfect though, as it got the crowd fired up and gave them a face win.

Daniels cuts the standard “I’m going to beat whoever wins tonight” promo, then gives a shoutout to AJ.

Lauren is with Matt Morgan. Nobody controls the Blueprint. He wants to be in the MEM, but they jerked him around. He’s going to win and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Bounty Match: Abyss vs. Jethro Holiday

Abyss even comes out in a hoodie. They start off in a slugfest with Jethro getting control, although Abyss quickly regains it. Jethro dodges a charge and lays in some shoulders and chops in the corner, but Abyss has been taking selling lessons from Nash and walks straight throughh them to level Holliday with one chop. To the floor they go and Abyss take Holliday to the rail, then the steps. Abyss lines up a big right hand but gets nothing but ringpost. Ouch. To the post and the steps goes Abyss, and now they’re back inside. Holliday misses a second-rope elbow and lays in some shots in the corner. Abyss goes on the hunt for PLUNDAH! He has a chair and goes back to the ring, but Dr Stevie has given something to Holliday. Please God not another taser. No, it’s a nightstick, far more acceptable. He wears out Abyss with it then sends Abyss crashing from the apron to the guard rail. Back inside and Jethro gets a 2 count. He lines up a chair shot GOOZLE! Holliday elbows out but eats a big boot. Baaaaack body drop! Abyss wants a slow hand clap for some reason, then crushes Jethro in the corner. Side slam gets 2. Abyss has the chair again, lays it on Holliday’s chest and goes for an ass drop…HOLLIDAY TURNS THE CHAIR ON EDGE! God damn that’s gonna hurt. Holliday with another nightstick shot and he gets 2. Holliday wedges the chair in the corner, he tries to whip Abyss into it but it’s reversed, he tries the float over but Abyss is coming! Jethro eats the chair! Goozle! Chokeslam! 1…2…2.9226! Abyss goes to run the ropes and catches Dr Stevie trying to trip him! He grabs Stevie but Holliday saves him with a bulldog! Stevie passes in some…well, they were silver knux. The crowd are chanting for the Black Hole Slam as Jethro measures Abyss. Yup, there it is and there’s the 3. Predictable much?

Winner: Abyss via pinfall (Black Hole Slam)
Rating: **¼ It wasn’t bad for what it was, everyone and his dog who’s ever seen an Abyss match saw the finish coming and as nasty as the chair to the groin was it was totally telegraphed. I just hope we don’t have 6 months of bounty matches.

Post match, Stevie berates Holliday who levels him.

JB is with Angle who is fresh from a Starbucks parking lot. Angle says he doesn’t think it will be every man for himself tonight, because he’s going to have a chat with him. Don’t let him have your Blackberry Matt!

For The World Title Shot Briefcase: Hernandez vs. Big Rob Terry

Jesus Christ Rob Terry is huge. I hope he never gets pulled over in Pittsburgh. SuperMex is out on his own and means business. He gets on the mic and says he has family in Mexico and in the US, which makes him a Latino American. The Impact Zone is his house. When they took his breifcase it was like they came into his house and took it from his family. So tonight there’s not going to be a match, he’s giving them two choices. They can give him his briefcase and walk away, or he can take it and walk out on top of all 3 of them. Ooooh, them’s fighting words. And yes, looks like they’re taking option C “Try to kill you”. It doesn’t go so well as Hernandez disposes of Williams and Magnus and then hits a big shoulder block. Cover, 1…2…3???

Winner: Hernandez via pinfall (shoulder block)
Rating: ¼* It was supposed to show Hernandez as a dominant force. It did that. It also made the British Invasion look like bumbling idiots though.

Well that should add fuel to the “he cashes in tonight” fire.

Beer Money are with Lauren. Storm says they are beating themselves by becoming soft and showing respect to Steiner and Booker. Roode says they are sick and tired of having emotions, feeling and heart. Tonight they’re coming for the British Invasion.

IWGP Tag Team Title Match: Beer Money vs. British Invasion ©

EY is out in a PIMP SUIT! He’s been raiding Kurt Angle’s closet. Or maybe he just took it out of the evidence locker. He’s going to be on commentary it seems. Here comes the Boozer Cruiser! Williams and Magnus seem to have recovered from being beaten up by Hernandez. Can we PLEASE have a Chaos Theory tonight? Please?

The crowd are calling Magnus a wanker. Win. Storm gets control very early with a knee to the face and a running neckbreaker. A pair of clotheslines by Storm, Magnus tries to toss him over the top but he skins the cat and comes back in with a flying forearm. ARRIBA! Storm tosses Magnus out but HE skins the cat…and gets kicked in the face. Storm low-bridges Williams and storm gets an assisted crossbody to the floor on both men. Back inside, Roode gets some chops to Magnus and then an inverted atomic. Roode drops his head too early and gets kicked in the face, the tag is made to Williams who hits a SILKY flying European. Roode comes back with a back elbow and a pair of clotheslines, tag is made to Storm and they hit a series of double teams culminating in a knee drop for 2 by Storm. Williams gets some forearms to regain control, he calls for Magnus but Storm runs through the double team and clotheslines both men. All 4 men in the ring, they hang Williams in the tree of woe and whip Magnus into him! EW they crotche Magnus on the face of Williams, then Magnus falls on top of him in a…shall we say compromising position? I think we shall. Storm gets a boot up to a charging Williams, but Williams comes back with some forearms and whips Storm into Magnus’ knee. Magnus is in now, back elbow by Magnus. Tag back to Williams, what the hell are they doing? They just did a tour of Storm’s hands and feet…never mind it was dumb. Whip to Storm, Williams hits a knee in the corner followed by a big boot by Magnus and a knee drop by Williams. Magnus is the legal man and gets a 2 count. Magnus slaps around Storm and gets his teeth rearranged with a superkick. Tag to Roode, clothesline! A pair! A trio! Baaaaaack body drop. Inverted atomic for Magnus! He is a House~! En! FUEGO~!! Chop for Williams and a Blockbuster gets 2. Whip to Magnus and Storm kicks him in the back of the head from the apron. Double team suplex! Wait for it…wait for it…..

BEER! MONEY~!

Assisted uranage slam by Roode gets two before Magnus breaks it up. They set for the DUI, Young is up from the table and tosses in the IWGP belt. Magnus uses the distraction to hit a low blow and Williams gets the rollup for 3!

Winners: British Invasion via pinfall (nutshot and inside cradle)
Rating: *** I thought this did very well. Magnus continues to develop and the two teams played off each other’s strengths brilliantly and were it not for the overbooked finish this would have been even higher. Very enjoyable.

Post match, Beer Money are pissed and beat down everyone.

Lauren is with ODB and Deaner. Deaner says sexual harassment is a daily reality for Rhaka Khan, I mean the Deaner. That. Was. Horrible.

Knockouts Title Match: ODB w/Cody Deaner vs. Angelina Love © w/Velvet Sky

I still say this ends with Deaner as champion. Oh yes, here we go. What do you see Lion-O?

I love you cameraman.

ODB starts with some stiff shots in the corner but Love gets some boots to fight back. Scoop slam by ODB, Love gets out the back but gets caught with a fallaway slam. ODB tries a charge but bounces her boobs off the turnbuckle. Bulldog by Love and the tag to Sky, who hits some shoulder charges in the corner. Sky mounts ODB with some punches and goes for…doesn’t matter, ODB flattens her and tags in the Deaner. ASS SLAP! God damn that’s a lucky man. He puts her over the top and smacks her ass 10 times! “Looks familiar” – West. “You and Deaner?” – Tenay. 1-0 Tenay. ODB is tagged in, Sky tags Love. Velvet’s ass is scarlet. Ohhh the images. Love gets kicked in the face as she charged ODB, who ciimbs to the top. Sky and Rayne distract ODB and Love hauls her off the ropes and gets a 2. Tag to Sky who gets an elbow drop and a 2 and is still selling the ass. She stands on the chest of ODB and stamps her for 2 more. Tag again, Love hits an avalanche in the corner and then Sky hits one. Snap mare by Sky and a basement dropkick by Love gets 2. Sleeper by Love but ODB breaks it with a back suplex. Tag is made to Sky and here comes Deaner! He ducks some punches and kisses her! Love is in and she gets an uber liplock! Rayne is on the apron and she gets TONGUE! Sky charges and gets drop toeheld to the ropes…oh God he’s going to hump her from behind. LOW BLOW by Sky, thank God. BOTOX INJECTION by Love! ODB is in with the Thesz press and she rolls around with Love. Rayne is on the apron again! She has the spray…Deaner ducks! Sky gets the spray. Schoolboy! 1..2…3! New champeen!

Winners: ODB and Cody Deaner via pinfall (Deaner on Sky, schoolboy)
Rating: ** Meh, They were on a hiding to nothing really with Deaner in there, and they worked pretty well with it. Unfortunately it still wasn’t good. Not even seeing Velvet’s red ass could save it.

As I suspected, Deaner (who was slapping Sky’s ass in time with the ref’s count) disappears with the belt. The ladies scream at each other in the ring about whose fault it is.

X-Division Title Match: Samoa Joe vs. Homicide ©

Taz is out with Joe. Joe stands in the corner with his arms crossed as Homicide enters, as Taz used to do. These two have had some great matches in the past in RoH, let’s see what they can do in TNA.

Joe with stinging jabs to start, he tries a knee lift but Homicide catches it and rolls through for a quick 2. Joe tries a kick but Homicide gets a trip and a jacknife pin for 2. Back elbow by Homicide and Joe retreats to the floor to regroup. Back inside and Joe gets a leg kick to get control. He charges and gets the turnbuckle, Homicide tries a monkey flip but Joe catches him, they work a series of counters ending in an elbow by Homicide. He tries for a rana but Joe stops short, lets him land then hits a belly to belly. Homicide goes to the floor and ELBOW SUICIDA! Back inside Joe gets a snap powerslam for 2. Joe chokes Homicide over the ropes, he comes back with chops and tries a suplex. Joe blocks it and hits a gorbuster, then a powerbomb. 1…2…STF! Into a crossface! Into a Rings of Saturn! Homicide makes the ropes to break it, so Joe settles for stomping on him. Homicide fights back and they exchange shots, Homicide takes control with some stiff shots and a clothesline, then a double chop and a pair of dropkicks to the knee. He comes off the ropes for a crossbody, Joe tries the tilt a whirl but Homicide takes him down anyway. Missile dropkick by Homicide and Joe goes to the floor. Tope con hilo by Homicide! Taz and Homicide star each other down, Homicide thinks better of it and rolls Joe back inside. Hangman’s neckbreaker by Homicide gets 2. Homicide blocks a clothesline, Ace Crusher! 1…2…2.9368! Homicide sets for the Gringo Killa, Joe pushes him off, whips him hard to the corner and locks in the Koquina Clutch! Homicide tries to fight it but Joe rolls him to the ground and gets the hooks in, and Homicide taps.

Winner: Samoa Joe via submission (Koquina Clutch)
Rating: **3/4 I’ve seen these two do far better. It wasn’t bad, but most of Homicide’s offence felt forced and Joe looked like he begrudged having to give it up.

Angle invades Morgan’s dressing room to grovel. Morgan basically says “Yo fault, had yo chance, blew it”. Angle says as long as one of them wins the title, he’s in the Mafia. Morgan accepts those terms. He ACCEEEEEPTS THEM!

TNA Tag Team Title Match: Team 3D vs. Booker T and Scott Steiner ©

This is now falls count anywhere and no DQ, which might make it watchable.We start with a brawl, as you’d expect. Of course the two black guys have to face off, because this is pro wrestling. 3D have control early and throw the MEM to the outside. They seem displeased with the progress of the match and are heading to the back, an idea with which 3D are not enamored. Ray whips Steiner into a wall, then into a railing. He squashed Steiner under the railing while Devon and Booker brawl up the steps in the crowd. Oh good, a crowd brawl. Devon and Booker are now brawling back DOWN the stairs. Smell that workrate! Steiner jumps on Ray and that hits him in the back with a chair for 2 in the crowd. So each pairing has a ref, what happens if Ray pins Steiner and Booker pins Devon simultaneously? Devon is wearing out Booker and Steiner is taking it to Ray with the chair. Steiner hits a crossbody off the first level of seats to the arena floor for 2. No higher than the top rope really. Somehow Steiner is now on the floor and Ray gets a chairshot for 2. Booker hits a stungun to Devon. This camerawork is awful, they are missing the momentum swings. Ray chokes Steiner with a chair in the neck while Devon hits Booker with a bottle of water. Orlando thinks this is awesome. Easily pleased much? Steiner gets a clothesline in the ring for 2. Scoop slam by Ray, and WAZZUUUUUUUUUUUP? Nails it.

Devon! WE BOTH FUCKED SABLE!

We have a table in the ring. Steiner is positioned on the table but Booker takes out Ray and Steiner gets off the table to crotch Devon. Steiner is looking for the Frankensteiner off the top through the table! Ray stops him and they set for the Doomsday! They hit it, but Booker moved the table. Side slam to Booker gets 2. BOOKEND THROUGH THE TABLE!! 1…2…no! Double back elbow to Devon gets 2 for the MEM. A kick by Booker gets 2 more. Booker goes for the Harlem sidekick but misses and crotches himself! Powerslam by Devon gets 2. Devon avoids the clothesline and Steiner hits Booker, allowing Devon to get a back suplex on Steiner for 2. A whip to Steiner is reversed, Steiner follows him in with a clothesline and starts with the mounted punches in the corner…powerbomb by Devon to escape! 1…2…no! Axe kick attempt misses! 3D! Cover! Steiner schoolboys Booker and we have a double pin! 1…2…3! Oh look, it’s what I said would happen.

They’re going to review the video footage? Of course everyone is ignoring the fact that Ray’s arms we’re both under the bottom rope. The refs award it to the MEM and nobody is happy with that. Shoddy execution of a decent idea.

Winners: The Main Event Mafia via pinfall (Steiner on Ray, pinfall)
Rating: *3/4 No. Not doing it for me. I hate crowd brawls, I hated the botched finish and it went on too long. It was better than it could have been, but that’s not saying a lot.

JB is with Foley who explains the differences between him and Nash. Well apart from the fact that Foley knows how to sell?

TNA Legends Title Match: Mick Foley © vs. Kevin Nash

This match will be the oppostie of fast-paced. Foley is rocking the leopard print tonight. Orlando has a Super Shredder chant going, which warms my heart.

They lock up and Nash forces Foley into a corner then gets some kneelifts to the midsection. Big right hands by Nash but Foley ducks a short-arm clothesline and gets some rights of his own. Headbutt by Foley, more shots and a kick to the gut followed by a Mr Wrestling knee lift. Nash takes Foley to the floor, Foley tries to drag Nash out but Nash kicks him into the guardrail. Foley gets back to the apron but Nash gets some clubbing forearms and kicks Foley back to the floor. Nash goes out too and takes Foley to the rail several times. Nash has a chair and takes a Pujols-like swing, only to connect with the ring post as Foley ducks! Foley with some rights and a chairshot of his own. Another chairshot and Foley takes Nash to the rail. Now I see 3 Tvs. The match was bad enough on one. Foley goes for the elbow off the apron but Nash got the chair up! It rebounds into Foley’s face and here comes the juice! Foley is busted BADLY. Nash rolls Foley in and measures some jabs to the cut eye of Foley. In an aaesome video there is blood splattered on the camera. The ref asks Foley if he wants the match stopped but Foley says no. Shock. Nash keeps after the eye, with elbows now. Nash has blood on his arm. Foley’s eye is shut and covered in blood, but he calls Nash on and fights back hard. A forearm off the ropes takes Nash down. He tears out some hair and goes to the floor after Nash, taking him to the steps. Now Nash is cutt open and Foley is going after the wound. Nash caught a good one, it’s dribbling pretty steady. Foley charges Nash in the corner but the ref gets in the way and gets squashed. Boot to the head of Nash as Foley fetches Barbie! Traci Brooks is out! Mick stops, turns around into a big boot and knocks Traci off the apron! Nash takes him down, we don’t see how since we’re watching Traci fall. Cover! 1…2…3!

Winner: Kevin Nash via pinfall (big boot)
Rating: *3/4 Better than I dared hope, but only because it got pretty brutal. It was never going to be a technical classic, and they did well with the physical limitations they both have.

Post match Nash takes the barbed wire bat to Foley, and wants more…ABYSS! He’s out with a barbed wire bat of his own! Random! Hey, remember when Abyss was afraid of barbed wire?

Sting is with Lauren who says Matt is young and will learn from his mistakes, and Kurt will step on whoever he has to step on to protect Kurt. Sting says honesty, dignity and respect will come back in style, and he does mean styles. That’s right, I’m pretty sure he said Styles. Hmmm.

TNA World Title Match: Kurt Angle © vs. Sting vs. Matt Morgan

Morgan is out first and is pumped. Sting of course has been here before. Angle, who by the way is clean-shaven again, is doing a remarkable job of shrugging off his troubles. So far. JB does the super-duper ring announcing. Bruce Buffer he is not. Morgan gets a “Next world champ” chant from the smarks in the front row.

Morgan goes right after Sting. We have our first “You got arrested” chant. Angle and Morgan take turns stamping on Sting. Europeans in the corner to Sting, Morgan hits an avalanche and Angle tries a huge shoulder but misses and almost goes through the corner post. Sting avoids the big boot from Morgan and sends him to the floor, then goes after them both. He whips Morgan to the railing right in front of Mrs Morgan, Sting tries to whip Angle into Morgan but Angle reverses it and Morgan levles Sting with a clothesline. Back inside, Angle drops an elbow and Morgan hits a HUGE legdrop. Doble back elbow to Sting. The crowd are split between Sting and Morgan. Angle and Morgan try a double backdrop but they drop their heads and Sting take Angle to the floor and lays the shots to Morgan in the corner. Angle tries to sneak up on Sting but gets whipped to the corner…Stinger splash! One for Morgan! One more for Angle! Another for Morgan! A clothesline to the back of the head sends Morgan to the floor. Suplex to Angle gets 2. Whip reversed, Angle ducks a Sting clothesline and hits a shot to Sting’s gut. He throws Sting to the floor where Morgan is stalking him. Morgan beats on Sting outside while Angle deletes some photos and texts in the ring. Sting starts to fight back, Angle tries a slingshot crossbody to the floor but Sting ducks and Morgan catches Angle! Sting kicks them and they both go down! He throws Angle back in and follows, Angle gets a kick to the gut and tries the Angle Slam…reversed into a lucha arm drag! Scorpion Deathlock! Morgan gets on the apron, Sting breaks the hold to knock Morgan down and turns right into an Angle Slam for 2. Angle Lock! Sting kicks him off before Angle can lock it in and Angle goes to the floor. Morgan is back in and here comes the vicious back elbows! Avalanche in the corner and the standing side slam by Morgan. 1…2…no. He drapes Sting over the top and leaps on the back of his head, then drops a leg over his head as it hangs over the middle rope. Fallaway slam to Sting gets 2. Angle is still down somewhere, he needs 50ccs of HGH stat! Morgan hits the ropes but Kurt is low-bridging him! Morgan to the floor and he pushes Angle, then flicks sweat at him. Angle slaps him in the back of the head so Morgan tosses him to the floor…Carbon Footprint! Morgan goes back to the ring andcovers Sting but the ref is checking on Angle! Morgan remonstrates with Hebner! “SHUT UP! I’m with him, dammit!” SCORPION DEATHDROP! 1…2…2.9458! Hebner goes back out to check on Angle, now Sting is calling him. Morgan is measuring Sting…BAM! Carbon Footprint! Hebner is late comign in! 1…2…ANGLE pulls Hebner out of the ring! He has the chair and swings…creams Morgan like his name was Rhaka Khan! Nails Sting! Angle considers for a minute…covers Morgan! Here’s Hebner…1…2…3! Screw you internet!

Winner: Kurt Angle via pinfall (on Morgan, chairshot)
Rating: **3/4 Angle looked really out of it tonight, which I suppose is not surprising. Unfortunately the quality of the match was always going to hinge on him, and it suffered as a result. Sting and Morgan weren’t bad, but neither of them is Kurt Angle.
