More Angle ranting

[dirtydickraines]

- He said in WWE, he was on the road for about 300 days per year. He wanted to either reduce his schedule and work part time or quit.

- Angle said he called for the meeting with Vince McMahon. He said he was tired of working hurt.

- He said he showed Vince his lower body which had black and blue marks from hip to hip. According to Angle, Vince said, “I guess you won’t be wrestling in the triple threat ladder match tonight.”

- When Angle wanted the meeting, Vince kept avoiding him.

- Angle felt trapped by his contract, and told Vince that he felt like he was going to kill himself. He said Vince threw the $30 million MMA contract offer back in his face, and released him. He feels Vince saw liability, and decided to grant his release.

- Angle said he and John Cena were the most productive wrestlers in WWE.

- Angle wanted to just do television and PPVs in WWE, which of course Vince didn’t want any part of.

- Vince told Angle to take six months off, and come back re-sign with him, and Angle agreed. Angle said his plan was to jump to TNA.

- “Vince Russo is the best writer in wrestling,” said Angle.

- Angle said he isn’t involved in creative, but does offer his opinions as he feels necessary. He said if they wanted him to be apart of creative, he would do it.

- He said TNA is looking to get a two hour time slot by year’s end. He said a one hour television show is really 42 minutes.

- Angle said TNA has talents they haven’t even introduced yet that are better than most WWE’s main eventers, and are holding off until they get the extra TV time.

- He feels Christian never got a chance in WWE because of the perceived lack of size. He feels Christian is as good if not better than Edge. Angle said WWE could have been made money with Christian.

- He said Cena is a very hard worker, but not a very good wrestler.

- “I think Batista is horrible,” said Angle. He said Batista is a product of Vince’s fetish with big guys.

- He said he would rather have Samoa Joe over Cena or Batista.

Nothing reallyt too crazy.

Some of that makes sense.

Except this

- “Vince Russo is the best writer in wrestling,” said Angle.

- “I think Batista is horrible,” said Angle. He said Batista is a product of Vince’s fetish with big guys.

Angle speaks the truth.

[MGH]

“Vince Russo is the best writer in wrestling,” said Angle.


He lost me right there.

[Michael Coello]

Angle's gonna get a lot of crap over his comment on Russo. That's his opinion and he has a right to say it.

Besides that, this seems normal.

[emoney3265]

Guys... Russo isn't as bad as he used to be. He's building up the characters right now and there will be more wrestling soon. That gauntlet match went on for 3 segments with 2 commercials in between. Sure it was a gauntlet but still, it lasted quite a bit. Plus when they get the two hour show, they will have plenty of wrestling I'm sure. Everyone needs to calm the Fbeepk down. I don't about you guys but I have faith in Russo. Sue me.

Anyways most of that sounds normal and legit. He was insane in this interview.

[Murf]

Ok. So by my count, this is the 537th time that Angle has flipped to "Vince released me" from "I quit".

I don't get this:

- Angle said he and John Cena were the most productive wrestlers in WWE.

followed later by:

He said Cena is a very hard worker, but not a very good wrestler.


So does that mean Angle and Cena were at the top even though Cena isn't good? Which would mean that he's better than the rest of the roster while still not being good? Which would then mean that the rest of the roster sucks? *head explodes*

What happened to the 20 movie offers he supposedly got

It means that Cena and Angle worked really hard for the company, and while Cena works very hard in the ring, he isn't really a good wrestler like a Benoit, Angle or Finlay.

I think what he meant is that, unlike Batista, Cena is a hard worker even if not such a great wrestler.

- He said he showed Vince his lower body which had black and blue marks from hip to hip. According to Angle, Vince said, “I guess you won’t be wrestling in the triple threat ladder match tonight.”

Sounds like Vince was joking around to me.

- Angle felt trapped by his contract, and told Vince that he felt like he was going to kill himself. He said Vince threw the $30 million MMA contract offer back in his face, and released him. He feels Vince saw liability, and decided to grant his release.

What the hell does the MMA thing have to do with this?

- Angle wanted to just do television and PPVs in WWE, which of course Vince didn’t want any part of.

No one has that. Taker and HBK are the only 2 part timers I can think of and they work house shows when in angles.

- Vince told Angle to take six months off, and come back re-sign with him, and Angle agreed. Angle said his plan was to jump to TNA.

That's just a jackass move right there. Why should TNA trust him now?

- “Vince Russo is the best writer in wrestling,” said Angle.

Writer? Yes. Booker? Not by a long shot. There is a reason I haven't watched TNA regularly in 3 months and his booking is it.

- Angle said he isn’t involved in creative, but does offer his opinions as he feels necessary. He said if they wanted him to be apart of creative, he would do it.

Didn't he say earlier (in another interview) that he was part of the team?

- He said TNA is looking to get a two hour time slot by year’s end. He said a one hour television show is really 42 minutes.

He is right and they need to.

- He feels Christian never got a chance in WWE because of the perceived lack of size. He feels Christian is as good if not better than Edge. Angle said WWE could have been made money with Christian.

I agree with that.

Angle said he and John Cena were the most productive wrestlers in WWE.

- He said Cena is a very hard worker, but not a very good wrestler.

Huh?

- He said he would rather have Samoa Joe over Cena or Batista.

That like saying, "I'd rather be regular than have for diarrhea or constipation.

As always 1 or 2 good points hidden amongst the WTF?!

[chibidiablo]

Angle is bat-shit loco

[Boomaga]

Yeah, at first it was neat to hear Angle say all these things against WWE, but now, broken record and keeps making himself sound crazier and dumber for leaving WWE.

I know there's not a lot of friends in the wrestling business, but it's best to burn as few bridges as possible, especially the bridge to the most popular, highest paying wrestling company in America.

Angle = Warrior 2007

For some reason there is no way to respond to the Mike Awsome thread so here is my two cents I liked you, you had skill and made me glad I tuned in. You will be missed.

Now to post something about Kurt Angle so I don't get in trouble--"Vince Russo is the greatest writer in wrestling" WTF? I think Kurt was mis-quoted there is no way he said that

Assuming, you are talking about the one in (w)rest, it was lock to keep it in the stickied one in WWE Current.

[ICBM]

Thanx I figured that one after a while.

No he said everything that's in the first post. I heard it on the radio last night. The Canadian radio show direct from Toronto called the LAW (Live Audio Wrestling) only played 10 minutes of the original 35 minute interview. You can hear the rest of it on the LAW's web-site the radio show's host stated. I personally don't pass judgement. I just want to see Kurt Angle wrestle is my concern.
