Kurt Angle

Quote :

In huge news, Olympic Gold Medalist and multi-time World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle will make his return to TNA "iMPACT!" this week! Will Angle begin his hunt to reclaim the TNA World Heavyweight Title?

From http://www.tnawrestling.com/

I was expecting him to be away for longer than a few weeks, but it looks like he's back.

cant wait love angles work

Angle vs RVD will be the program over the Summer me thinks

I think if Hardy gets a not guilty or at least doesn't get jail time then it will lead to Hardy vs RVD for the World Title at Bound For Glory

Hardy was suppose to be champ but his court thing stop him being champ thats why RVD took it off AJ

wow an epic i must spend time away speech wasted. Unless tna is THAT GOOD that a few weeks off is too long. Bit lame an epic feud ends with someone leaving nothing has yet changed and he's back with no doubt no mention of the hatred they hold for eachother. We'l see i guess

I'm still hoping they go with a triple threat, ladder match, at Bound For Glory. RVD vs AJ vs Hardy could be epic, Gaff. Would prefer just RVD vs AJ, but I won't be naive enough to expect Hardy not to be involved.

AJ just hasn't got any star power to him, watching him job out on Sunday to RVD just looked like a mid carder doing the honours

I do feel AJ has his role wrong though, RVD should be the big head, he should be the one who gets all the breaks, but he shouldn't be 'Mr TNA'

That is what AJ should have been, he should have worked his way back to the top by claiming he was Mr TNA

I would like to see Kurt engage in a feud with the Pope. I'd love to see Angle turn heel and hopefully put the Pope over on a few PPV's when he returns from injury.

Speaking of BFG: I could see Hardy vs Kurt for the title. After Kurt wins it from RVD after the feud with Pope.

I agree with you, but this is clearly Hogan not liking AJ because he got famous through TNA and not WWE/WCW and the whole "AJ just hasn't got any star power to him, watching him job out on Sunday to RVD just looked like a mid carder doing the honours" is clearly the impression Hogan wants to give.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, TNA need to build up there own wrestlers more.

If I am honest I have to disagree with you both, Gaffer and Worthy. I think AJ is a very capable performer for TNA. Before the Hogan era he was steady and capable and, for him currently in this Hogan era I would say that he has learned a lot from working side by side with Ric Flair, Beer Money Inc, Sting and Desmond Wolfe. In a way they have all learned from each other.

I would like to see RVD Hardy at BFG but not for the title, I think the title match should go to Angle/Styles/Pope/Anderson. Any of those 4 would do it for me.

What is meant by the term 'jobbed'? I thought it means when someone just goes out there to get beat convincinly? Because that was far from the case. It was a really competitive match (not up to the standards I expected though - but then I expected it to be the best match I had seen), and AJ still looks every bit the top man/contender in TNA.

I agree with Gaff on AJ should be playing Mr TNA. And RVD genuinely believes he is the best thing going, so a cocky, boasting character would suit him well.

Yeah "Jobbed/Jobber" basically means someone loses week in week out to make someone else look good, to build character in other words.

AJ Styles for me is one of the best. I dont understand why everyone is saying he is bad but he is very solid both inside and outside the ring and his critics confuse me.

I think your both read my post wrong as what I was trying to say is that AJ seems watered down since Hulk came on the scene and made him impersonate Ric Flair as the old AJ Styles was alot better as he seems more grounded these days as he seems to have cut down on his high risk moves and I don't know if it's because of the ring change or the Ric Flair gimmick, but to me it doesn't seem like the same AJ Styles that we grew up with in TNA.

As for the mainevent scene, I'd love to see someone like Desomond Wolfe who has never been in WWE and TNA get a push to stop pushing ex WWE and WCW wrestlers who will no doubt be demanding alot more money on there next contract because "they used to be in a big company".

AJ has been the best thing in wrestling, since I started watching it again. Not many people live up to their monikers, but that guy truely is Phenomenal. 12-13 years ago, RVD was the best thing I had ever seen. And I'm really pleased he hasn't lost too much, in that time. But AJ is a level above, now, IMO.

What did you think of the RVD/AJ match at Sacrifice? I felt a little dissapointed, but I may have been totally blinded by my expectations, so interested to hear what others thought of it?

Worthy - I can see your point in what you say about AJ, but he's added soo many more things to his game IMO. I think he has learned a hell of a lot from Ric Flair. I think his promos have got much better, since hooking up with The Nature Boy.

I would like to see Desmond Wolfe given a run with the Global Title for a while, and make that a real Title.
