Hey look, a Kurt Angle thread.
Kurt said he's still open to MMA as TNA doesn't "own" him. Anybody else think he'd be terrible in MMA? I honestly can't see the guy throw a decent punch. Sure he'll take everybody down but I do not see ground and pound by him. Maybe the WWE made him look like a pussy, but I can't see a decent punch come from him.

I can't see him doing that well. I mean, he's 38. Past his prime.

I think he could be solid, but he'd never be the big threat he'd need to be for his ego's sake.
best to stick with wrestling, where he's a legend. Unless he's out for money. Then he can go join Shamrock. |

Angle needs to stay in wrestling. Sure, he might have a mediocre career padded with lots of money in MMA, but he would eventually end up just being a big name with a bad record. Angle can continue to make a huge impact on the wrestling world, which is nowhere near the kind of impact he would have in the MMA world.

IMPACT SPOILERS, HIGHLIGHT TO READ
So who is gonna kick the bucket first? Kurt or Jake? While Kurt is on his way to the grave if he keeps it up, Jake looks like he already has one foot in it. |

Ok Afterlife - explain to me why Kurt has lost your respect?
And then explain why he needs the respect of a geek? |

Doesn't mean opinions aren't going to be formed. If, for some reason, you feel this is a problem, I suggest you remember where you are. However, the more people lose respect for Angle, the less business sense he makes. Except in TNA, where he could have a heart attack and it'd get 5 stars. |

Nobody said he needs my personal respect. It was just a comment.
But he's losing it because of the way he's handling himself. I was under the impression that he was going to use his damn brain and get fucking better. Instead, he's not taking his situation seriously, and is, for all intents and purposes, throwing himself into traffic. It's stupid and reckless, and a professional of his stature should know better -- and act like it. That's why he's losing my respect. And, like I said, an individual doesn't matter. But if people start to look at it the way I do en masse, then he might want to re-evaluate his thinking. Then again, he may be too deluded to notice. |

Angle isn't even wrestling right now. How's he going to kill himself? He's taking time to heal up (at least to his standards), and then he's going to come back and wrestle TNA's schedule. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think he's really doing anything so insane that it garners such a negative reaction from some people.

I don't care what Kurt Angle does. He's a grown ass man, and can live his life anyway he fucking wants. I'm not saying that I want to see the man die, but if he wants to stay on my television and entertain me that's fine. |

If what Kurt Angle says is true (and I have no reason to believe that it isn't), he asked for his release (he wasn't fired) because WWE wanted to keep him on the road working harder than he wanted to. He left for TNA because they were going to give him the time that he wanted before he stepped in the ring.

Are you an idiot??? Kurt Angle was fired from WWE because he REFUSED to go to rehab and get over his pain killer addicition and heal up. Angle wanted to continue to get in the ring, Vince McMahon (in a rare case of character) cared about the fact that Kurt Angle was put by doctors on a "Death watch." McMahon weather it was for personal or professional reasons, fired Angle so he wouldn't die under WWE contract.

And what is your source on that information? I've heard so many different stories that I'm just going with what Angle said.

We all should believe everything Kurt Angle says, because he won an Olympic Gold Medal with a BROKEN FREAKIN NECK.
He wrestled at Wrestlemania...with a BROKEN FREAKIN NECK. So obviously he can never tell a lie to make himself look good. |

Obviously, I can't make an argument against McMahon's track record in dealing with injured stars. They get the time that they need to get better.
But Kurt is an admitted workaholic. If Vince asked him to take time off, Kurt would have said no. And that's Angle's fault. But ultimately, Vince runs the show and makes the decision whether Angle wrestles or not. And obviously Kurt continued to wrestle. Why would Vince let him if he knew that he needed the time off? It was fairly obvious. |

So Kurt's an admitted workaholic. What would make this situation different? You're asking us to buy not only that a workaholic wanted hsi release, but that it's because a man who consistantly, if not always gives his big stars time off was responsable because he refused to give him work off. We have to ignore a lot of facts to believe Kurt. All we have to ignore to believe WWE (And don't get me wrong, I don't take WWE at their word without good reason) is the "fact" that Kurt continued to wrestle--A fact that actually doesn't prove anything either way. Basically, if Vince is telling the truth, then that same release could have been because Kurt's insistance that he could work was finally called into question. Which means you have to already assume Kurt is telling the truth for your "obvious" answer to be correct, since you could argue the opposite was also "obvious." And that's on top of ignoring the track records of both parties. I'm sorry, I can't suspend that much disbelief. I can't take Kurt as anything other than a liar in this case, and it's not because I trust WWE, I just find their side to be the less unbelievable. And you know what they say about the theory with the least unnecessary steps... |

I bet that "where were you when Kurt died" will become a stale question in a few years.
Thankfully, the business we support has little regard for life. |
