[2006-08-08-WWE ECW] Kurt Angle vs Sabu

[ohtani's jacket]

This was Angle's last televised WWE match. While it was nowhere near as good as the RVD match, it was still a fresh and intriguing matchup. Angle in ECW had potential, especially with his new wrestling machine gimmick. It appeared as though they were headed towards a typical WWE style triple threat match at some point. Its a bit tiresome how the WWE felt the need to add an extra guy to every feud. I would have preferred a straight up Angle vs. RVD feud on the evidence of their TV match. They should have had the pair feud over the world title instead of putting the belt on Big Show of all people. We'll have to see how Angle's departure effects the WWE for the rest of the year. He was a top 5 guy at the time so it's likely to be a blow to the company from a match standpoint.
