Kurt Angle signs with TNA

Mark Prior · 09-25-2006, 01:41 AM

I am calling it now, Angle dies within the next year

Jace VK · 09-25-2006, 03:41 AM

Damn..... why TNA?!?! WHY?!?!

Bandit · 09-25-2006, 10:41 AM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

09-25-2006, 11:45 AM

He's to good for TNA.

TNA sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bandit · 09-25-2006, 12:27 PM

^ I dont think TNA sucks, but I agree that Angle is too good for it.

However, he's in quite the predicament. WWE refuses to let him appear until his painkiller problem is gone, and he wouldn't be doing much anyway. Angle could either be making small appearances on SD/ECW (Both of which are in slumps), or he could be jobbing to John Cena and/or D-X on RAW.

But, don't fret! I'm sure he'll be back on WWE some day. And even if he isnt, he'll be a Hall of Famer without a doubt. He's, in my opinion, the best professional wrestler of all time.

WWE did him a favor by releasing him. He needs a hiatus.

Stupid, STUPID move on Kurt's part IMO. I'm going with 314 on this one.

09-25-2006, 07:28 PM

Same here.
But TNA does have some good matches.

DK · 09-25-2006, 11:38 PM

Maybe I didn't make my point clear enough.

I think TNA is a great company that is the clear-cut #2 promotion and is definitely on the rise. Personally, I think TNA has much better wrestling than WWE, which has always drawn me to the program. I'd rather see high-quality wrestling instead of nothing but tired, overused storylines. Angle is a huge pickup for TNA, and he can do great things there.

My point is that WWE released him FOR HEALTH REASONS. He's supposed to take the hint, get off the road, and if he's not at peace with never wrestling again after a year or two, sign the deal and head back to WWE. Instead, Kurt decides to sign with another company within less than a month and proceed to bash WWE in subsequent interviews, stating that WWE "held him back."

Bull****. WWE released him as an effort to save his life. Obviously, he's too thick-headed to realize this. He doesn't last two months in TNA without getting hurt. I guarantee it.

Jace VK · 09-26-2006, 12:57 AM

Wait, I thought Kurt was having 'family issues'!

I agree.

Still, the signing of Kurt AND the move to a 9pm timeslot means that TNA is slowly becoming true competition for WWE

Bandit · 09-26-2006, 07:12 PM

I agree with everything that DK said. In my post, I simply stated the reason why Angle is going to TNA, and not back to WWE. I never said that I agree with his decision.

09-26-2006, 11:33 PM

Kurt is to good for TNA

Sean P Kelly · 09-27-2006, 12:06 AM

But is TNA good for Kurt?

Mark Prior · 09-27-2006, 11:57 AM

I read that Kurt Angle will be working a mere 24 dates a year with TNA (as compared to with WWE, he'd be working over 150). I retract my statement in the thread title, this is a GREAT move for TNA if that is the case.

Bandit · 09-27-2006, 01:18 PM

^

But the question remains....WHAT matches will Kurt work? They'd better not put him in one of those spot-fests that TNA loves ever-so-much. If they throw him in something like Ultimate X or 6-Sides-Of-Steel, he could be in trouble.

In the meanttime, there ARE bright sides for Kurt's move. Some dream matches can occur. Imagine Kurt Angle VS Christopher Daniels! Or even Samoa Joe!

DK · 09-27-2006, 07:06 PM

I'm excited about seeing him face AJ Styles, personally.

09-28-2006, 12:06 AM

What is the name of the match from TNA were you have to hang your opponenet to win?

Jace VK · 09-28-2006, 12:31 AM

HANG?!?!
Oh, right, its fake.

Bandit · 09-28-2006, 08:08 AM

Er...there's no match where you have to hang your opponent. Wouldnt that KILL them?

What's the point of killing off one of your workers?

09-28-2006, 11:55 AM

Well I was watching TNA the other night and it said that.
Or was i just drunk???????????????
