President Evil
Pre-Show Stalwart
When I think of Kurt Angle, I think of the time he was in WWE from his debut in mid/late 1999 to 2006. He had the "it" factor as well as any other great superstar. The look, mic skills, charisma, wrestling ability, athleticism, able to tell a story in the ring. He's easily one of the top 10 wrestlers of this generation.
Ive been a WWE fan for 25 years now. I can understand what wrestlers go through there, the touring, schedule, physical demands, stress, sometimes low pay, constant drug tests and being suspended for even the smallest trace of anything. Towards the end of his career in the E, he couldnt handle it anymore, I saw an interview with him on youtube one time where he says he had requested a lighter schedule, and they straight up said no to him.
I understand the advantages of working for TNA, lighter schedule, alot less touring, and people get a away with some things.
But its just so unfortunate someone the caliber of a Kurt Angle, who entertained us so much during his time in the WWE, to not have him there anymore and it doesnt look like he'll come back any time soon.
I dont watch TNA. Angle has lost perhaps millions when it comes to Wrestlemania paydays. And by this I mean its hurt his financial status. He's been arrested several times for DUI's, if he would have stayed in the E the stricter management could have kept him in a better path.
Plus still by the time Angle left he still had so much to give. Because of this were robbed of an opportunity to have things like a 3 disc set of his WWE career, with all his funny clips and stuff.
Plus he's still putting his body on the line, but with millions of people missing it because he's not at the big stage anymore.
