Here's a subtle example of Drew McIntyre's attention to detail.

In the middle of his match, the big Scotsman stopped to play some mind games with a downed Kurt Angle by reminding him of a prior loss. Seconds before he locked in the Ankle Lock on the legend, McIntyre said, "We've been here before, haven't we?". You might have missed that, because Michael Cole started talking over it.

This nod towards their match last November added to the emotion of the moment, made Kurt seem sympathetic and made Drew look like a cold bastard. Next time, someone in the truck should invite the announcers to listen.
