I can't think of any memorable feuds he's had in TNA except for the Samoa Joe one. Angle had a great blood feud with Mr Anderson (I believe their brutal Lockdown cage match is available to view on TNA's official youtube), a marvellous short run with Nigel McGuinness, and the run with MMA Jarrett was rather brilliant in ring & out. I know he gets lost in the card a lot in TNA but I have a ton of memories from his time there so I'm happy he's got somewhere else to go apart from WWE.

He's a TNA Guy. When he retires or goes back to WWE, perhaps I'll reconsider. But he's been there since 2006 and he's had big moments like the headbutt to Samoa Joe and matches with Samoa Joe, Desmond Wolfe (Nigel), Jeff Jarrett, and James Storm.

If we asked him he would probably say TNA.

Honestly I'd say both. I think his best feuds/matches from both companies match up quite well.
WWE-Jericho, Rock, Benoit, Guerrero, Lesnar. TNA-Joe, Wolfe, Styles, Anderson, Jarrett.
Both may seem like a copout answer but to me its the right one.

WWE. I've probably watched 6 hours of TNA since it was created.

He was better in the WWE but I definitely think of him as a TNA guy now. I'm not sure when that happened exactly. I think part of it is that the "real Kurt" has emerged in the second half of his career, that goofy, drunk driving, injury-exaggerating, broken down, always different-body-having Kurt we've all grown to love. The former WWE Kurt seems fake now.

When I think of Kurt Angle I think of the three I's, the love triangle with Stephanie and Trips, his segments with Austin and Vince, his 2002/03 run on Smackdown and his Wrestlemania matches with HBK, Eddie and Lesnar. So basically, all WWE related. He'll always be a WWE guy to me no matter how long he stays in TNA.
Another thing to think about: As crazy as it sounds, Sting (who debuted in TNA in 2003) is only a few years off being in TNA as long as he was in WCW/NWA.

I see him as a WWE guy just like I'll always associate Hulk Hogan as a WWE guy despite where else he might end up. Hulk Hogan's a WW F guy. The only time he was in WWE, was ironically enough, during his last world title reign and only made special appearances after that. Anyway, I consider Kurt Angle a WWF/E guy.

WWE guy. Everything that stands out to me in his career is when he was in WWE.

I just apply the "airport test" to this.
If someone sees someone in an airport and hassles them, why?
Someone like Joe, obviously because they've seen him on Impact at some point. He's a TNA guy.
Kurt Angle? He probably gets recognized alot more and like Christian, gets asked why he isn't wrestling anymore. Not a TNA guy.

Even with Angle's impressive TNA career thus far, I'd still go with WWE guy. Just too much good stuff there.
But, to be fair, how many wrestlers do you guys think have truly morphed into "TNA guys" after their initial WWE stint. I'd say Jeff Jarrett, Gail Kim, Matt Morgan and maybe Mr. Anderson. That's everyone who comes to mind right now.

I only see him as a TNA guy now. No interest in ever seeing him back in WWE.
