General Manager Kurt Angle, drunk on power, had a blast firing
dedicated SmackDown! employees Thursday night
until the one man
who outranks Angle put his foot down.
In a surprise appearance, Mr. McMahon showed Angle what a berating
from the boss feels like firing GM Angle for his wheelchair
masquerade before placing him back on the active roster of
Superstars. To cap it all off, Mr. McMahon ordered Angle to face
Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero at SummerSlam.
In another huge SummerSlam development, the Undertaker announced to
JBL and the world that hell challenge for the WWE Championship at
the Toronto pay-per-view on Aug. 15. He made the declaration with a
chokeslam, leaving JBL unconscious in the middle of the ring. It
was a quick and calamitous turnaround for the WWE Champion, who
went from no SummerSlam opponent to a future date with The Phenom
all in the blink of an eye.
Angles firing clouded the United States Championship picture
considerably. Before being removed from his duties, Angle promised
the title to Booker T. But it was John Cena who scored an
impressive win over the formidable Luther Reigns on Thursday.
