Awesome free-TV match. Hopefully this kickstarts the next chapter in the Shelton push.

Angle heads outside and gets his chair, and heads back in. And he stands on it for Patton to put his medals on, with the lights dimmed and red, white and blue. Heh. He walks backstage as the announcers put over just how dangerous and sadistic Angle is.
