#1 Just missed him

All seemed to be right between Ronda Rousey and friends as Raw was going off of the air. Kurt Angle confessed that he made up his previous comments and Stephanie McMahon apologized for her stiff slap. The show could've ended with everyone on reasonably good terms. Triple H went and messed that up by punching the Raw General Manager before exiting the ring.

The problem with Hunter's punch is that it blatantly didn't connect with Kurt's face. The highlight above accents this botch with a brief pause of the several inch gap between the fist and the chin. The point of pro wrestling is to not actually beat on your foes but to merely make it look like you are, but this was the big climax of the night. Maybe this should've been a tad more snug?
