I'm starting to wonder that people are giving this match high ratings because of Joe winning the title.

Joe was pretty darn sloppy through that match. being honest.

I really don't care about the build cause i don't watch iMPACT....

The crowd was dead. The announcer even sounded bored. Angle looked like he forgot to change and just came out.

I dunno how it came across on TV, but the crowd sure as hell wasn't dead live. Tons of back and forth "Let's Go Joe", "Let's Go Angle". A fews fans got restless in the beginning but it really was just one group on idiots who were sitting pretty close to me. Most people have actually commented on how good the crowd was, and I can tell you firsthand that it was electric.

Of course him winning the title might have elevated it a little bit, but not really that much.(Similar to the WM XX triple threat match, 1/4* at most.)

Some people loved the match and some didn't, I guess that's what it pretty much comes down to.

I agree that they couldn't just do the same old routine, they had already wrestled on PPV 4
time in the previous 17 months before this match. I know it was a little short on action, but I thought it was a brilliant performance by both men.(Especially Angle, he really shined in this match)

Also, if you don't watch Impact than obviously you can't appreciate the build to the match. I agree with Meltzer on this one definitely, best build to a US World Title match in quite some time. Just phenomenal.

Well if you missed the build I can see why you thought it didn't make sense.

As already mentioned, I found it ridiculous that Joe would put his career on the line and then decide to fight MMA against a gold freaking medalist. Having a brawl would make more sense, as it would take Angle out of his element and give Joe an advantage.
On another note watched Dragon/Black from Breakout- ****/****1/4. Really enjoyable match from start to finish, something that can't be said about Angle/Joe.

Joe vs. Angle = ***1/4 tops. I concur with those who briefly stated that the MMA ingredient sprinkled in this feud/match was dreadful, I laughed my ass off at the way they went about incorporating it.

Haven't seen the Lethal Lockdown yet but I finally downloaded the whole show on a high quality XVID torrent so maybe I'll get around to viewing that in full eventually.

So wrestling fans always complain about promotions never trying something new, and now they do(performed quite well might I add) and some people still shit all over it.

A match that wasn't a spotfest, told an unbelieveable story, and had the best build of any American match in years and people are mad cause the match wasn't "brutal" enough. Gimme a break.

Typically Fickle IWC.

Pointless arguing. I enjoyed the match. I could careless if others didn't or if they want to be overly critical.

I don't care if others like it or not, but some of the reasons people are giving for not liking it are ridiculous or untrue.(Like the crowd not being into it, I was there and the crowd was on fire)

Especially the claim that the match wasn't brutal enough, I don't know why anyone who followed the build would have expected the match to be "brutal" at all. That clearly wasn't the direction this match was ever destined to go.

I suppose alot of people might have not seen any of the build and just saw the match. I just don't wanna hear any crap from people that are gonna say Joe/Angle was so overrated, when it if fact at this point is being severely underrated.(Atleast by alot of people in this thread)

If you just didn't like it cause of the MMA stuff, that's fine since it just might not be some people's cup of tea I guess.

But they brought something totally different to the table and executed it very well, and yet most people are just mad cause they didn't use the cage more. It's just clutching at straws IMO, the Lethal Lockdown match was there for the brutality. This match was built as a technical battle from the minute it was announced and they followed thru on that pretty much perfectly IMO.

U-style isn't new.

Damn TNA for making me actually want to watch one of their matches.
