– Keith Elliot Greenberg and Anthony Cali of WWE.com have a story up about Kurt Angle, Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak’s new group, referring to it as both an “alliance” and a “union.”

The story includes these comments:

“I’d like to introduce you to my new group,” Angle said while standing to the left of his cronies just moments after buzzing Show’s head. “We’re gonna be innovators in sports-entertainment, and you’re gonna see a very brutal side of Kurt Angle. What you’ve just seen by myself, Reigns and Jindrak was only the tip of the iceberg. What we did to Show tonight is something he can look into the mirror — whether it be from now until No Mercy, or after — and remember us by.”
