The following was just posted on WWE.com: It has just been announced that Shawn Michaels will take on Kurt Angle in a 30-minute WWE Iron Man Match.

It's funny to note that WWE just announced this today right after TNA announced a '30-minute Iron Man Match' for their Bound for Glory PPV. WWE did something similar with a 'Queen of the Mountain' angle during the Diva search obviously mocking TNA's 'King of the Mountain' match. It's clear that WWE is taking note of TNA.

Okay I have mixed feelings about this.

In a way I am so excited about this. They're set at 1 win each and the Iron Man Match in a way is suitable to settle the score. Both athletes are great and put up a good match and this stipulation will be amazing to see them go through.

However it seems like they're ripping off TNA. BFG? 30 Min Iron Man Match between Styles and Daniels? Not really fair I'll say. :|

let's hope tna makes their ironman a 60 minute match :D

here's what i think.

monster's ball = 25 minutes

liger vs. joe = 30 minutes

ultimate x = 40 minutes

ironman match = 60

60 + 40 +30 + 25 = 155 minutes = 2 hours and 35 minutes

jarret vs. nash = 5 minutes

amw vs. dudleys vs. naturals = 15 minutes

155 + 5 +15 = 175 minutes

2 hours and 55 minutes....BEST PPV EVER

Yeah that would work! :lol:

JJ vs Nash in 5 mins?

Nash would probably pull a quad getting ready for the match.

You gave Nash and Triple J too much time. :P

But hell, at least the Raw homecoming is going to have you know, wrestling. I was expecting nothing but nostalgia. Now, I'm expecting 30 minutes of great wrestling with 2 1/2 hours of nostalgia.

Yeah I am looking forward for homecoming to be honest.

The Ladder Match and Iron Man Match will be great and Eric/Cena will be funny to watch.

Not to mention all those old faces we'll be seeing like Austin and Foley.

I am expecting Hunter to take half an hour of the timeslot and the same goes for Hogan.

Yeah, it is obvious WWE is ripping off the Styles-Daniels BFG match and they obvouisly are trying to say to TNA "that anything you can do, I can better than you".

However, I am not going to complain about Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle having the 30 minute Iron Man match.

Reason why? a) I would love to see Angle and Michaels wrestle again, b) I have been wanting to see iron man match between the two and c) I have always wanted to see how a 30 mintue iron man match would turn out.

There are two possible outcomes to the Ironman match, IMO.

  1. Angle wins. He is still in a program with John Cena and needs to be kept strong.
  2. A Draw, because Michaels hates option 1.

Personally, I smell a draw. EDIT: On the bright side, it'll be a good ride, regardless of the outcome.

Who would of thought the business that gave us Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, The Rock, The Undertaker would turn out this way. They use to follow WWE.. not the other way around. Oh well. I hope Shawn Michaels win.

Yeah I agree with you entirely. I would have liked it to be 60 minutes though but then again you got Hogan and Hunter with timeslots lasting about half an hour each I'll say.

I wonder how many times throughout the match JR or King will say something like "You'll never see Total Nonstop Action like this on Spike TV!"

Yeah exactly.

I lost count on how many times JR and The King said "iMPACT" during RAW last week. :|

Here is an update...

WWE had announced a 30 minute Iron man match with Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels for 10/3 earlier today, but then pulled it. It may be they've changed their mind, or it may be they will shoot an angle for it on Monday. Considering this came right after TNA announced a 30 minute Iron man match with Christopher Daniels vs. A.J. Styles for 10/23, you can see where this is going.
