Angle on Between The Ropes

[kingoftheindies]

-Talked about other TNA wrestlers for a bit. Said that he can have "five star" matches with guys like Sabin, AJ, Daniels and Senshi. He also noted that some of these guys have trouble on TNA as opposed to ROH because "characters, and not matches, are what get over on a national show."

-Talked about TNA guys. Said that Joe is "still learning" but pretty much put him over. Said that WWE actually had Joe in for "several tryout matches" (is this true?) but Vince passed due to his lack of "vision." (this directly after saying that he and Vince have "gotten over it")

-Put over AJ as a heel, as well as Daniels, though Angle asked "what does Fallen Angel mean? Why is he the Fallen Angel? Is there some sort of story?" Oh dear god, there's going to be some sort of Russo-riffic angle on the origins of the "Fallen Angel" now.

those aren't really lies, especially people needing a character to get over on national television. People forget, ECW had a lot of gimmicks as well they just weren't all over the top. I know a lot of people aren't going to like hearing this, but the general audience would probably get bored to death watching a 30 minute match from the indies unless it was between two guys with great characters and could work the crowd (say... Colt Cobana vs. Super Dragon)

As for this being a work, how would one of TNA's top stars being delusional benefit TNA?

I was thinking more along the lines of a new character for Kurt. The dudes gone over the edge and everybody better watch the f*** out!...It sounds cool to me anyway.

The audience at WWE Armageddon 2006 shitted on Helms/Yang's Cruiserweight title match and it was only like 10 minutes long.. really shows why wrestling booking needs to be so short/entertainment often for the general audience.

Kurt, I love you......but, it might be time to think about being goofy on painkillers all the time....or maybe you took too many and they fried your brain......either way....they do wonderful things with electro shock therapy these days.

Kurt vs Senshi would be a thing of beauty. I don't know why, it just would.
