Yeah, but everyone falls from headlining status. Stone Cold Steve Austin Did.
Yes, and Austin walked out on the company at one point because he became disgusted with the misdirection of the company, and more specifically his character.

Shawn did the job at WM14 because he had an immobilizing back injury sustained in a Casket Match. He only came back to wrestling because of an injury at his wrestling school in Texas.

Even Triple H has now.(for how long remains to be seen).
Triple H is only sitting on the sidelines because he's more interested in his new baby. You can bet that as soon as he gets the itch to main event (or WWE realizes that with the exception of Edge the title picture is a joke) he'll be sporting gold again.

But everyone falls from that main event status. But Kurt Angle had one of his best matches as a mid card wrestler against Shawn Michaels. I put Kurt on the same level as HBK that no matter who and where they are in the line up, they will have the best matches.
This is the point I've spent the last few weeks attempting to drill into the heads of every half-wit who thinks Kurt is being "selfish" for disliking the way they shitcanned him into "ECW." Your main-eventer should be the guy who gets the crowd going the most, not the one who has the better image consultant. WM21 was the picture perfect example of why Kurt and Shawn should've been fighting for a belt, instead of Batista, Cena, and JBL. I'll give Hunter credit, though. For what he had to work with that night, he did okay.

Cena beating angle put Cena over and gave Cena some great matches. I think WWE thought that Angle was one guy who could bring respect to ECW. I think WWE love Angles Character which is what Vince prizes. Batista, Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, and many other are transter in hope of bring fire that Raw has.
Angle hated the ECW style of working. He hates hardcore wrestling. Read his interviews. They stuffed him there because Batista was returning from injury and Angle could legitimately hand him his ass on a silver platter in the ring, shoot or work. Angle was used as nothing more than an attempt by WWE management to put over a guy who has a gimmick that far outweighs his in-ring ability, and nothing more, in the case of Cena. If WWE loved Angle's character, they'd have had him constantly in the title hunt since his last worthwhile reigns, but that's impossible when Daddy's little boy is on the same show. He only received the belt on Smackdown during the switch because Batista was hurt and they hadn't built anyone else up to take the spot. Another example of the front office writing themselves into a big corner. Batista is a dud. His current responses are proof of that and his matches are gag-worthy. Kane has never had the agility and skill required to carry a title for a lengthy period (hence the one-day reign back in 1998). Undertaker is getting up there in years and probably only has a couple good ones left (hopefully they saddle him in matches with guys as good as Orton so he can shine, instead of the Khali garbage). Big Show needs to watch what he eats before he has a heart attack. He's becoming more useless each year.[/QUOTE]

Kurt story has changed from his very first comment, to the end. Vince comments remain paraell to what WWE first said. He had injuries and wwe are giving him time off to heal. The door is open. Kurt says that he was emotional and played them for a fiddle recently. HE talks bad about Triple H and Vince. But at first had good things to say. In his first interview, Triple H was alright, now he not respectable. Angle most recent comments has sounded like jealousy. Jealous of HBK, HHH, and Cena. And it sounds like he just trying to bash WWE for better Pops and promotion. My opinion only though
Angle took the high road UNTIL WWE released the text message crap. Then you have another one of Vince's oldest lapdogs in Hogan claiming that Angle was going to commit suicide? Angle was pissed because he was used as a workhorse and basically a ****e by McMahon and even though Angle could put on the best shows...untalented hacks were getting the top spots (two in particular). Meanwhile, other guys who can work are buried in the midcard like they never even made it to the top. If I was Angle, I wouldn't stop at shooting in an interview towards McMahon or Hogan. Those are two guys who seriously deserve a REAL ass-kicking. I just wish I could find footage of Bret Hart knocking Vince out. Seeing that would make my millenium.
