So are the totally trying to make any memories of Angle in WWE look like a bitch, or do they need Karen to come in and start doing his moves now?

It has significance man. You can't have finishing move poaching! And who in the hell in the WWE has done it since Angle left? Well other than a couple of girls.

she does a heel hook, not an ankle lock. Who cares if Michelle becomes a submission specialist, put her in an unique class apart from some of the other divas

Hey, she's paid to be TITS and ASS, NOT a good wrestler! But amazingly, she blows Taker for free.

Did you shed a tear for Shamrock when Angle first used the Ankle Lock Spawn?

wrestler and performer are the same thing, and she performs quite well, because that's what's she's paid to do

Fair point. If you wanna talk finishing move poaching, Angle swiped that up the second Shamrock left the WWE.

Yeah I was thinking the Shamrock thing too. People keep talking about how it's Angle's signature move. Not quite.
It's a tribute then. 'Taker told her to do it.

Thats a good point Cage left and Candice started using the Unprettier. Then McCool uses the Ankle Lock. I think of Angle's Ankle Lock before I think of Shamrock using it. Angle was a bigger draw for the WWE. Plus hes more recent. HBK using it at SS last year was a shot at Angle. The same way HBK and HHH using the crossface is. Now McCool using it is a shot at Angle as well.

No, mainly because it's not seen a mockery to have another submission artist wrestler do your move. if anything, it's s compliment and ads to the credibility. But having Michele McCool do it now kinda does make ya wonder. Hell, I had to wonder a bit when I saw Candice Michele doing the Unprettier.

To me it looked like a response to Maria countering out of the Heel Hook, not a deliberate attempt at an ankle lock...now if she added a grapevine, then there might be issues
I was just happy to see my favorite finisher used more regularly. I wish they'd let a normal wrestler use it...like Dibiase(that legsweep sucks). It'd be better to see Cage himself on WWE programming.

Tbh it doesn't really make ANY difference. With certain moves, you think 'OMG that's wasshisname's finisher! He can't use that!!!' like the Crossface for example, but the majority of finishers aren't then only allowed to be used by the guy who frequently does it. I love seeing people execute Tombstone Piledrivers but don't watch Justin Credible matches and say 'You're rippin' off 'Taker!'
If you wanna follow that route, then SCSA ripped off Mikey Whipwreck.

Okay, it's one thing to have a guy who's a regular trained wrestler stealing your finisher. I mean nobody was up in arms seeing Ed Leslie or Disco Inferno doing the Stone Cold Stunner. But it's a whole nother thing to have a walking tits and ass show doing your finisher like they are seriously trainer wrestlers and not just a bra and panties match waiting to happen.
Of course, I'm kinda of thrown on Kelly Kelly doing the Famouser. I mean Billy Gunn wasn't THAT good a wrestler AND he's gay too. So it's kind of a toss up on whether it's same level having kelly do it or just slightly better because she's slightly prettier.
