Yes. Completely forgot about Angle recently!

Again, yes. And Steiner was getting face chants from the crowd all the way through his match, with him responding "shut up!" about twenty times throughout. The fans would respond with "we still love you" and all sorts. Brilliant banter from the crowd. (Did I just say that about an Orlando TNA crowd?)

Thought it was a mistake the first time, then it happened again last week, and again this past Sunday. It's really... dramatic. And adds nothing.
Regarding the recent episode, I'm glad they're making a big deal out of the lingerie stuff. Glad they're defining themselves as something different to the WWE in that way. It's very hard to sit there with your girlfriend watching the programme with you after years of criticising the WWE for just this. I was glad they cut the promo about "hating" doing it. Actually brings meaning to the matches, whereas the WWE do it just for perverted reasons.
Course, if you were Karen Jarrett, you wouldn't want to parade attractive women around in lingerie to punish them, would you? That's pretty ridiculous.
Didn't enjoy the episode as a whole this week. Roode is showing how uncharismatic he is as a champion, but works well as a heel without it.
