Kurt Angle .... What?

[Andrew is Good]

Angle I think is just trying to teach the guys more.

One of the problems in wrestling is that some guys don't show emotion on their face when they wrestle, and AJ maybe like that. About helping Joe become a better worker, I think he can, and Angle probably could give a lot of knowledge to Joe. Joe is already a great worker, based on the fact that a good 85% of the moves he hits probably don't even touch his opponents, and the fact that he makes them look like he's killing someone is a mark of a good worker.

Angle was always better as a goofy heel.

He's also insane...

[Captain Sunhat]

I'd pay money to hear Angle say "hes good, with my help, he could be the best!".

Crazy Kurt is my favourite.

I bet Hayabusa would put his foot trought a TV if he saw Kurt Angle doing a Phonexis Splash.


Why? I tought it would be funny.

If Hayabusa wasn't in a wheelchair of course.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Well, Angle has one of the best moonsaults of all time, so maybe he could do other stuff.

But whatever, I think the point is that he thinks Joe should 'save' his impressive moves for big moments, and he's right. Part of the reason why I've never gotten into the X-Division is that they do so much stuff that none of it means anything.

I was under the impression that he could walk again.

[Austin's Middle Finger]

He's sorta become a sick hybrid of the Joker and goofy heel Kurt

With a cane. So maybe he could smash the TV with the cane.

I think Kevin Nash should be testing him instead of Sonjay Dutt.

I find it hilarious that Angle thinks that, especially since he goes for the Ankle Lock every 2 minutes.

[Joekishi]

Wow so he acknowledges his wrestlemania 21 match against HBK as one of his best matches ever?

I can't stand that shit. He needs to stop using it for a while so when it comes back it'll mean something.

[Rick Mad]

The "go for a submission finisher constantly" thing really started to happen a lot back when he was in WWE. Chris Benoit does the same thing with the Crossface. I don't know who had them start it, and I can see some logic in it, but yeah, I'm not a fan.

I love Angle, and I know what he's trying to say. I think. But to suggest he needs to teach Joe, or Styles, or ANYONE "how to work" is crazy. I know he meant "how to work better and smarter" or something, but.. bad choice of words on his part.

I'm of the mindset, as I'm sure those guys are as well, that if you have a submission move that is that deadly, you try to put it on as fast as you can, as much as you can. Sure, it kills some of the drama of a match, but it's a realistic way to approach submission wrestling. There's a reason why few MMA matches go 30 minutes.

Plus, Angle sold out Madison Square Garden, so who are we to doubt him?

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I agree with Kurt to an extent, I think one of the only benefits of working a "WWE" style is that they tend to save the more punishing moves for the ending sequence of a bout. In TNA, because of how they work during the iMPACT! broadcasts, it's a sprint to the finish in which you need to throw as much impressive stuff out as you can in as short a time as humanly possible. Then, when they go to PPV, it doesn't translate, because you're still throwing the same stuff in the first five minutes, just more of it.

I hope that made SOME sense, I mean don't get me wrong, TNA PPV's are consistently the most entertaining PPV's you can buy for the most part, but I think what Angle says has SOME relevance. I think he's less wacky than you think, I just think he has a major ego, something that I guess the veterans kept in check, although we've always heard of Angle bitching backstage at some point.

So he's gonna beat Chris Sabin to death with a crowbar then blow his ass up just to piss off Jerry Lynn?
