Why'd I say that, anyway?
All I know is, we wouldn't be insulting Triple H if he did the same. So, hyuck hyuck!

So Kurt says that ratings have been on a downswing because of 9/11. Tell you what.... replace "9/11" with "Katie Vick", and the statement isn't all that false. Since I'm a Kurt fan, I am going to make that word replacement so that he can go on being my Olympic hero. It's true!

Kurt must figure that if George W. Bush can blame everything on 9/11, he can too.

That's because Angle entertains people. He can talk all the crap he wants and that wouldn't change the fact that he's entertaining. Trips talks a lot of crap even though he doesn't entertain me half the time.

This is the actual section of the article: So, there ya go. Not exactly blaming 9/11 for the downswing, instead acknowledging the fact that 9/11 DID have people spooked for a little bit. Now if they'd only recognize the crap writing... EDIT: Here's the link to it: www.courant.com/features/lifestyle/hc-wrestlelunch.artmay05,0,3601507.story That's not a well written piece of the article right there; they blame 9/11 for people not wanting to go to public places, but point to PPV buys to show an upswing? PPV's which are bought in people's homes?

^^ no, he info bout WM21 buys is just additional information, has nothing to do with the 9/11 stuff I can´t believe Angle really MEANT it. if so, f*** him. he should get in the ring instead of talking this BS

It's obviously just a way to set up a feud with Hassan, who'll say that since arabs are blamed generally for 9/11, then indirectly he's being blamed for low ratings, and he and Angle will feud post-draft....

PPV's which are bought in people's homes? I didn't think so, either. You can tell it was an assignment and this guy isn't a particularly regular wrestling fan. I get the sneaking suspicion that most of the quotes are out of context, since there isn't a full one, just snippets.

Does Angle say ANYTHING about ANYTHING from before WrestleMania being the fault of 9/11? Nope!
Gotta love that bias slant to make WWE look bad at any opportunity.

I blame the Civil War.
General Lee had some great booking ideas for Rosey.

Yes, but Lee's gimmicks for Booker and Benjamin wouldn't have been so great..

In truth, hundreds of individuals and corporations have attrubted everything from sports results to interior décor choices to 9/11. And they continue to do so. My regular read, Private Eye still has a column called Warballs wherein they report verbatim some schmo attributing one thing or another to 9/11. It was at first appalling, then laughable, now pitiful.

oh it's true, it's damn true.
i can see where KA is coming from. ALL business was down after 9-11.
the crap VM was feeding his fanbase didn't help matters either.
