Kurt Angle on WOCM 98.1 today said he'd been clean for two years from pain pill addiction, he made more money for WWE than any wrestler over the past six years, he likes TNA because it's more of a wrestling show than a circus act (he really said this), and he'll be starting MMA with EliteXC on Showtime, both fighting and wrestling. f4wonline. Wow, who knew working for wwe was the only thing stopping Kurt from lapsing into complete madness? If Kurt thinks he made more money in the past 6 years than Undertaker or Shawn Michaels, LOL. You're right about The Undertaker, but Shawn has never drawn much money. |

Technically Mr. McMahon is the superstar that made the most money for the E. I think Austin and Hogan would disagree with that. |

TNA is more of a wrestling show?? There was only 6 minutes of wrestling tonight!
Hell, WSX is more of a wrestling show than TNA.

I have to lean towards this is Kurt trying to work the mainstream, because otherwise, he really is nuts, and that would just be sad.
I would, however, mark out if the next PPV crowd greeted Kurt with a loud "Bats*** Crazy (clap clap clapclapclap)" chant.

Anyone ever notice how before he left WWE you NEVER heard anything about an Angle interview anywhere?

Kurt was on with Scotty Ferrall.
Scott and Kurt went to same High School in Pittsburgh, Kurt is a bit younger,
though. Kurt went over his previous addictions, claiming up to 65 Vicodins
per day, including 18 just to get out of bed which impressed Ferrall to no
end. Kurt went through the story of Vince forcing him to rehab on the road.
Kurt told the heartwarming story of his fight with Eddie Guererro. Eddie
shot on him, trying a leg dive on Kurt. Kurt avoided it and put him in a
rear naked choke. Another (nameless) wrestler asked Eddie why he would try
a single leg on an Olympic champion. Eddie replied "because I'm waxing
stupid".
Kurt actually promoted TNA. He predicted his match this Sunday with
Christian will be match of the year. He said that Samoa Joe is a tremendous
athlete, can do a 4.5 40 yd dash and has a 44" verticle leap. He said his
deal with TNA is financially better than at WWE and at WWE he had a one
million dollar guarantee and usually made 2.5 to 3 million.
Talking about his WWE days, he has seen Trish Stratus naked, but wouldn't
give the details. In response to question from Eric the Midget, he
reiterated his claim that HHH is a slimeball, saying he is a slimeball
because HHH would never put Kurt over knowing Kurt could surpass him.
He is negotiating for a big deal with EXC. He claimed that although UFC,
through Dana, didn't want him after he told them he would continue to
wrestle, they now want him again after hearing he is negotiating with EXC.
He is now negotiating with both. Spike wants him to go UFC.
Of course, he can beat anybody in MMA since he has superior quickness. He
wants to fight three times before he is 40. He is probably too big to fight
at 205, so a special weight class will have to be made for him.
From listening to alot his interviews with Bubba, I can say that at least
alot of his stuff consistent.

wouldn't taking 18 vicodins at once kill you? Even House doesn't do that.

Its possible. I'm sure Taker and HBK got paid much more per appearance, but Angle worked many more dates than they did, for sure. Aren't we forgetting somebody? What about Trips? I know him, Taker, and HBK were pretty much fighting for the top paid superstar... I always assumed that HHH got more stock options than everyone else, so it might be possible that Kurt got paid more cash than him, and HBK and UT are probably paid large amounts per appearance (you know, to encourage them to make more appearances). Also, Angle probably got booked into more PPV main events than anyone not named HHH, so that eventually leads to a lot of money as well. |

It'd be interesting to see if they fudge his height and weight in UFC like most wrestling organizations do.

If Van Dam does indeed jump ship to TNA, I'll be expecting: Fear and Loathing in Orlando starring Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam. Not sure which fits better in either role though. It really is a toss up.  |

So what will happen to Kurt's career once he is embarrassed in his first MMA fight? How do you think the casual wrestling fan would react?

Well it sounds like he's going to be on some MMA fed no one has ever heard of on a channel tons of people don't have. So I'm willing to bet his first opponent will be a total scrub he should be able to dominate. |
