During his first run with WWE from 1999-2006, Kurt Angle was regularly the most entertaining part of Raw or SmackDown. And during this recent run with the company, Angle has still managed to be a welcome presence, in part because he’s such a beloved figure.

But Monday night, Angle was all over Raw, to the point where it was getting ridiculous. He was the guest on Miz TV. Then he was seen backstage with Sheamus and Cesaro. Then he came out to announce that Finn Balor and Samoa Joe would join Team Raw for Survivor Series. Then he met with Jason Jordan to give him the fifth slot on the team. Then he introduced Pete Dunne. Then he led the Raw locker room out to confront the New Day.

If you’re counting, that’s six separate segments the Raw GM appeared in during a three-hour episode. As much as we might love Angle, that’s just insane.
