Does Kurt Angle Seem a bit Ungrateful to WWE

Ryukuma

Occasional Pre-Show
Now the reason i am posting this is based off this recent article, but i have to say in every comment i read from him its always bashing WWE, and praising TNA. WWE has given him a hell of alot and he doesnt seem to respect them and constantly blames them for everything bad in his life, while TNA is his complete saving grace.

Tell me your opinion on whether you think Kurt Angle is being an Ungrateful Whiner, or He is completely in the right with all that he always says
 
I think kurt takes it too far with his WWE bashing. Granted he'd be a big deal even without wwe given the gold medal and all, but they really made him a star. Had he never been tehre, he'd never dominate tna the way he does now. I understand that TNA pays him now and is basically his competition, but there's no need to run him into the ground. If TNA folds and he still wants to wrestle, where does he go? He might get back into wwe, but i can't imagine vince's ego would let him be a main eventer for that long.

Exactly does he really believe TNA will be around forever? Angle is being straight up stupid with all of this I mean Vince could take TNA out in a second if he wanted to and where would Angle be then? probably begging Vince for a job and regretting all the things he said. It seems everyone but Kurt Angle seems to know TNA wont be around forever and whenever that impeding defeat does happen everyone on that roster will be looking for a job and Angle is dooming himself for getting a big wrestling job after TNAs demise
 
Im actually going to disagree with you both on these TNA comments. The reason for this is because if TNA goes under then Kurt will either practice MMA or hell just retire with him and his family because I do believe he is fairly well off. So i really dont think he will worry too much about getting a job back with the WWE.
 
I actually think you guys think that the WWE is the only thing out there. Angle doesn't want to go back to the WWE, so he really doesn't give a shit what he says. If TNA fails, which in Angles mind it won't, so why worry, then he has a huge opportunity to make a lot of money in Japan. There are plenty of options out there for a former olympic gold medalist. Like I said, you're putting WWE a little higher then what it deserves to be, especially with a guy with the credentials of Kurt Angle.

Honestly, I don't have one thing wrong with what Kurt Angle said. He thinks (he was) more over then Cena, he thinks Triple H is a politcer, and HBK is soft, all things I've heard for a long time thanks to the internet. He's speaking the truth, and people can't deal with it. Kurt Angle is 100x's the wrestler Trips and HBK are, and he felt he should have the number one spot, what's wrong with that?

but actually can you imagine Kurt Angle a wrestling fiend giving up on the sport? if and when potentially goes down and he tries doing MMA theres no doubt in my mind that he will miss pro wrestling, pro wrestlers love what theyre doing and wouldnt be in it if they werent 100% passionate about it and if he leaves for a while he'll be back someone so naturally gifted and talented at the sport doesnt just up and leave it hed be back I gauruntee it

I understand that theres plenty of opportunities for Kurt Angle out there if hes out on a job and I know that Japans a tremendous opportunity for him but I cant help but believe that he wants another shot in the bigs I cant help but think that someone of his caliber doesnt want to steal the show at just one more wrestlemania even with the shit thats gone down between him and the WWE, I bet the biggest company and arguably the best wrestler in the world can work things out if they really have to.
 
Kurt could definately go to any wrestling company in the world that he wants to, but I don't know if he'd want to wrestle anywhere but wwe. There is a lot of money to be made in Japan with all of the huge matches he could have over there, but I'm not sure if Angle would go somewhere that's not one of the biggest companies around. Angle could do just about anything he wants to if/when tna folds with his resume and I have no problem with him putting everything he has on tna's success. Did wwe give him everything he has? Absolutely not, but it was a key aspect. My problem is that I don't think it's right that he is blasting the company that made him as big of a superstar as he is today.
 
I think Kurt is just another one of many former WWE wrestlers that think he's the sole person responsible for his success. As much as he doesn't want to admit it, he had it really good in WWE. The reason Triple H is always pretty much on top is because he's trusted. And I am so sick of listening to Kurt bitch about his time in WWE, why can't he be like Booker T. Booker has his problems with WWE but I don't see him bashing them left and right. He spoke his mind and now i think he's moved on. Kurt needs to move on.

TNA will never be as big as it wants to be as long as it's stars keep talking about WWE.
 
Lots of bad blood there. Some guys will carry that much anger with them forever, other's will learn to put it behind them and move on.
 
Shortly after Angle joined TNA he said in an interview aired on iMPACT! that Vince McMahon told him to his face when he first signed with WWE that his Olympic gold medal "Didn't mean shit". Only Kurt Angle knows what experiences and circumstances he faced in the WWE, we the fans don't, and can't, know all of the details of his time there. Granted, Angle does, in my opinion, seem like an extemely competetive hot head, and the fact remains that WWE is still the big dance for pro wrestling. But I'm glad to hear his insulting comments, just as I'm glad to see TNA succeed, because monopoly of any industry by one all powerful entity is NEVER a good thing. Over the years, Vince's ego, fueled by his monopoly of pro wrestling, has been blatantly obvious in the way WWE tries to cram characters and storylines down the fans throats. Why? Because without any alternatives, the fans have no choice but to accept whatever nonsense WWE is putting on, and Vince knows it! At least now, with TNA on the rise, wrestling fans have a choice. I personally hope TNA rises up and kicks WWE's ass off! :007:
 
Its not like it matters really. Kurt Angle could probably say practically any crazy thing, ,and still be welcomed back by vince, if he wanted to come back. Ultimate Warrior did crazy thing after crazy thing, and we all KNOW about Mr. Loser fuck up Jeff Hardy. Vince will forgive if the talent is there, and Kurt knows this, so he knows it doesnt matter.

Add to this the fact that Kurt Angle, alongside being the best wrestler in the world, is utterly delusional and out of his mind. He really belives what he says about TNA, and thinks becuase he is there, that they will take out WWE. Kurt Angle acts like he is bigger than the sport almost. Makes him look pretty stupid when more people watch WWEs hour long C show (the C show by a WIDE margin) over TNAs 2 hour, major network edited for TV flagship show.

Kurt Angle says the body bag shit he does becuase he is somewhat moronic and delusional. And he will be able to get away with it, becuase after TNA folds, or even before, in reality, he COULD go back to WWE if he wanted to.
 
I hadn't thought about all the chances people get in wwe. You're absolutely right. Now that I think about it, there's no way that Vince would turn down a chance to have Angle again even for a short time. He'd be welcomed back by the fans and is still better than the majority of the roster. Vince definately would take him back, which means he's either very forgiving, or very stupid.
 
Kurt Angle is a bully, all he ever does is bash everybody and everything that isn't about him. He will more than likely return to the WWE some day and will be eating those words(it has happened to many legends in this business before) then he will praise the WWE because he is a part of it again. Yes, he does have many options outside the WWE, but he is addicted to Pro Wrestling, in MMA there is no script of who wins this or who wins that, you have to work your ass off literally to win a match. You are not handed anything in MMA, unlike Pro Wrestling, and Kurt won't like that, why else did he leave WWE for TNA? He knew TNA was desperate and would give him anything he desired, unlike the WWE who already had Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, John Cena, and Triple H who Vince prioritized before Angle. Kurt knew he was 5th place on Vince's list, so he went to TNA to be 1st place, and it looks like his plan worked.

I am not pissed that he went to TNA, it was a good move he made for himself personally, and I applaud him for that, but when he makes comments like "I should've been given Triple H's spot in the WWE, he should retire(he actually said this in a previous interview, believe it or not), blah blah blah" is just plain stupid. Kurt, you are OLDER than Triple H, you are not exactly a rising star yourself, and blaming Trips for holding down talent in the WWE is just being hypocritical on your part. Triple H paid his dues a decade ago, he was given a chance to go to WCW after the Madison Square Garden incident, but he decided to stay in the WWE and take his punishment like a man, that is when Vince realized Trips was going to be a trustworthy ally and a big star in the years to come. Kurt Angle did not want to take his punishment, so he took the easy way out and went to TNA to be a shark in a small pond.

eh, I dont thin he is stupid, or even forgiving for that matter, he just bends over backwards to give the fans what he thinks they want, and to make money. Kurt Angle would be STUPID over upon his return, as he was when he left, and would certainley add to the money making ability and overall quality of the WWE. I dont think its about him being stupid or forgiving, its about making money and giving his fans what they want. Kurt Angle is both, so he can do say pretty much whatever, and still be able to come back someday. I wouldnt be suprised to see him OR christian walking through a WWE curtain sometime within the next 5 years.
 
That is true about Vince wanting to make money and to an extent what the audience wants. No doubt Angle could still draw. Same with Christian after he's gotten some main event experience now. I could definately see them coming back to WWE, but as far as either of them being in the main event on a permanent basis, i'm not entirely sure.

I agree that the wwe will hold the door open for them, but i dont believe that angles comments are entirely true, I disagree with alot of his statements including hbk being soft, the reason why angle keeps acting up is because he is angry and bitter, he has all of the ability but needs to stop worrying about the wwe and just worry about angle, he still has a drug issue which he was booked over and i do not believe that his abuse issue is entirely over, agreed he is the best wrestler on the planet, but he needs to stop complaining and start working
 
I agree. Angle has as much ability as anyone ever but he needs to quit doing these random interviews. I don't remember him saying much positive about tna, other than that they're better than wwe. Ok if that's true, why? You can't promote your own company just because one sucks. Once he can get tna a lot higher off the ground, which he is more than capable of doing, then he can rip wwe all he wants, but right now it's the 2nd level and he needs to realize it.
 
First, T.N.A. is NOT any type of saving grace for Kurt Angle, except for the much lighter work schedule. I don't think W.W.E. was ever willing to do that for him. However, Kurt Angle has done an outstanding job at making T.N.A. a great company. Whereas he was only another name in the W.W.E.

He was one of the top greats, but in the list of top 5, nowhere to be found. So Kurt Angle has no room to talk, about being anything perfect to the W.W.E. and as far as blaming them for everything wrong in his life, its not as if the W.W.E. forced him to do all that stuff. Thats the stupidest thing about guys who leave that company. They want to place all the blame on the company itself.

"Oh, they forced me to do this. My life is ruined because of them."

The fact is, he had a choice. And if I remember correctly, THEY (W.W.E.) let him out of his contract, because he asked for it due to his health. They were helping and agreeing with him, and he lied, turned his back on the company that MADE HIM.. then went to the rival. Kurt Angle is a hypocrite. Damn great wrestler, but awful human-being.
 
I wasn't aware of all the Triple H marks around here. Kurt Angle is without question one of the greatest in ring performers of all time and he still has the ability to put on a fantastic match.

There are many who take everything Kurt says very seriously which they shouldn't. Kurt Angle is a man who loves to get people talking and many of his interviews get people talking. Many of the comments that people find outrageous is more than likely Kurt just having fun and seeing what he can get away with saying.

I use to be a big TNA supporter and I still support the product and of course the ultra talented performers there....I just don't like it much anymore. (Which is a damn shame) With that aside Kurt has a goal in mind, and that's to take TNA to the top. Although I never see that happening, it really doesn't hurt to try.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels are both notorious for their politics while Kurt wasn't really involved with that game. I do most definitely believe he was held down for the pure fact that he wasn't involved with politics and that there were several other wrestlers jealous of his abilities. Who wouldn't be jealous of him? If you're Triple H and you're already popular and establishing yourself as the face of the business, you're going to keep your eye on that one guy who has it all and is a better performer than you.

We'll never fully understand what happened between Kurt and Vince but from what I know I'll always side with Kurt. I use to think to myself I honestly wish Kurt was still with the WWE but then I stop and think for a minute. Not only was there very little for Kurt left to accomplish but the WWE just didn't fully value his abilities and contributions. If I were Kurt I wouldn't want to work there for that reason and on top of that being denied the right for time off when I'm too hurt to wrestle.

The WWE truly dropped the ball in regards to Christian, Kurt Angle and Booker T as they all left for reasons they could've possibly controlled.
 
I like Kurt Angle but he needs to get off his high horse. I seem to remember WWE let him out of his Contract,then what does he do? Went to TNA. Now who's decesion was that? Kurt Angle's. Angle had a great run in the WWE and held every Title that was there. So he needs to stop blaming Vince,HHH,HBK,or whoever for his problems. If TNA folds then I think he will come crawling back to Vince begging for a job because I doubt he could survive in MMA with the way his Neck is.
 
I can't believe what I am hearing the WWE is the big dance in pro wrestling, the place to be. Have any of you seen or even payed attention to 99 percent of WWE's matches they are horrible. It is watered down pro wrestling certainly not the best Pro Wrestling entertainment out there thats for sure. Feds like ROH and others in america have much better action. Japan has it all over the WWE to say Kurt Angle needs the WWE is obsurd the WWE needs him for credibility. It doesn't matter if the WWE does have talent they are so limited by vince.Why Kurt want to go back to the WWE to be held back and under guys like HHH or HBK two guys who arent in his league.
 
That's true that WWE isn't the best in the world and it hasn't been for a long time. But it's by far and away considered the highest level. ROH is great and, but their fan base is very small and the money just isn't there. Angle would fit in perfectly in Japan or in ROH, but I can't imagine him going there full time. While the companies may be better run and have better matches, you're not going to see ROH or Japan on national tv or in prime time anytime soon. TNA has been lucky to get that. WWE is established and well known. It may not be the best, but it's still by far and away the big dog in the yard.
 
Kurt Angle is like any employee who is happy with the place where he works. if he worked for Burger King and was happy, then he would bash McDonald's. TNA is on the rise, and having a strong and proven heel like Kurt Angle on board is one thing that will not only help them currently but will lend a helping hand getting TNA's future crop of heels over in the long run.

Should he be bashing WWE so badly? Well if he was unhappy there and is doing better in TNA, then why shouldn't he? Why shouldn't he speak of the politics and the backstabbing that goes on in order to help other TNA wrestlers decided whether or not that may be an option when the time comes to choose. Kurt Angle is in a place where his creative input is highly valued and he has the chance to work with his wife as well. It's a win win situation for him as he didn't have to come to TNA, being ell off. So yeah, he will continue to bash WWE. Remember, he's only trying to help sell the product that he is currently a part of.
 
The reason I have such a problem with what Kurt Angle says is because, he does not show any appreciation for what wwe actually did for him. Im sure they did alot of things to piss him off, but then again that goes for any wrestler. He bashes just to make himself look like he was the only good wrestler their, and he deserved everything and never got it. Like said before this guy has held everything, he did a bunch of main events. My main problem here is he keeps bashing compared to other wrestlers who just leave the subject alone, and thank wwe for what theyve done, and now they move on.

Also for all of you who say christian left because he was disgruntled you guys are way off. He wanted to try new things and prove he can be big. Its been said before that hes welcome back in wwe whenever he wants
