Stop the pain. Or, as Dolph Ziggler would yell, "STOP THE PAIN".

When Kurt Angle was unveiled by Vince McMahon as the new Raw GM shortly after WrestleMania 33, he looked resplendent, comfortable in the role and was a great replacement for Mick Foley. A little over 15 months on, Kurt is a sweaty mess who looks more confused than in control.

Part of that suits the ongoing appointment of Constable Corbin to look over Angle in Stephanie McMahon's absence, sure, but it's not great that a WWE legend fans want to see kick ass is constantly undermined by those around him.

Oddly given the storyline context for Foley's firing, Kurt's reign is less authoritative than ol' Mick's was.

For all Angle's faults as General Manager, at least he's not shouting for the sake of it, making his colleagues look foolish on screen, giving away important storyline twists before they've even happened or smiling like the Cheshire Cat a young Alice bumps into during her trip to Wonderland.

Others in WWE can't say the same, so maybe the perpetual perplexity of Raw's beleaguered GM is simply a reaction to all the chaos going on around him...
