Will Kurt Angle actaully help TNA to the next level? Now I'm probably the first person here to admit to Kurt's divinity, but will he being on TNA's roster actaully get them anywhere? My argument is no. It may in the short run, but this is mostly the old WCW approach. TNA already has enough big names from Sting to Steiner to Jarrett, adding Angle alone will not help. It will cause the shock and awe of Scott Hall appearing on Nitro, but TNA isn't smart enough to capitalize on it the way Bischoff did.

The only way that an old broken down Angle can help TNA is if they build him up to a mythical status, which really should not be hard because WWE did most of the work for them. Then have Angle take the NWA title from Jarrett in a matter of weeks. Hold on to said title all the while building up a singles star from the lower ranks like Jay Lethal or better yet, Eric Young. Yeah, Eric Young would be prefect for it. Build him up as an unlikely contender. Be the guy to finally take the belt off Angle (only have Angle defend it like once a month at most). Then TNA could actaully have home grown talent.

BTW, I think that is WWE's greatest asset/strength is the whole homegrown talent aspect. I mean there are only some many story you can tell, and even less that can take place in the realm of wrestling. The only real new thing you can do with change or tweak the characters.
