| If this all goes back to the Orton thing he'll likely be blacklisted from the company for life. He should be thankful he's already in the HoF. | |||

And just to pile on, two more guys are off the road in what will SURELY decimate Smackdown's main-eventer roster:
 y 
Don't know why on the former, but the latter had a staph infection months ago, kicked its ass (because HE WILL NOT DIE) and some remnants, which were dormant, flared up in the blood test. Speaking of which, they should be able to figure out just what the hell is going on from those same samples, if I understand correctly... |

| IF Matt's speaking the truth, then it's just a bad coincidence. Tatanka... "personal problems". Read into that however you want. | |||

Due to personal issues, Kurt Angle has been granted an early release from his contract. WWE looks forward to establishing a new relationship with Kurt in the near future. The only Olympic gold medalist in WWE history, Kurt Angle arrived in 1999 and quickly became one of the most decorated champions in sports-entertainment history. "The Wrestling Machine" is not only a six-time World Champion, but also held the Intercontinental Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship; he also won the 2000 King of the Ring tournament. Recently joining ECW, Angle's unmatched intensity was rivaled only by his technical and athletic in-ring prowess. From the mouths of the officials.

| I don't have all the details yet but you can replace "early release" with "fired". Angle did meet with WWE officials today (with his agent) so something went down.
One thing that isn't a secret is Angle's physical state, and to a similar extent his mental state; he's a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Either you force him to get a rest or something bad's gonna happen. |

| You can replace "fired" with "quit". Take a stab at who picked up Angle. | |||

God DAMMIT Kurt, just STOP. WRESTLING.  For your own good. |

Well, he was still fired.  The guess right now is that he accepted a buyout from WWE or something and went to TNA as well as MMA (which he is training for in his off-time).
If Kurt actually was clean, I wouldn't hate this move. The problem is that he's not clean and I honestly have no idea why he's doing this. He's probably good financially so maybe it's for the rush of performing in front of a crowd, but even then he DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THIS. I'd be more positive if he had taken six months or a year off first, but... |

| TNA is supposed to cut Angle's schedule down from 1xx matches per year to less than 50. That would be better, but he should really not be doing this. But, after all, he is "the Wrestling Machine." | |||

| well, since his "quitting/firing" from wwe, he hasn't wrestled (as far as I know).... and he doesn't start actual competition until November (as far as I know).... so it will give him several months off. And then he will be taking on a slower schedule which will be easier for him to handle.
I think he'll be fine. And I hope this gives TNA the boost it needs to get past being a "smaller" company to be able to actually compete against WWE (cause I honestly believe that the last wrestling peak was during the WCW vs. WWF ratings battles). |

| I saw on a rumor site for iMPACT spoilers that Angle is in fact NOT healthy. Here's how the report went, kinda:
I was at the iMPACT tapings this week, and there was a segment were Angle and Samoa Joe had a face off. They were going at it verbally until Angle headbutted Joe, making him bleed (Joe that is). Angle then picks up Joe and hits the Angle Slam. And just as soon as Angle got up, he started rubbing his neck. So apparantly, in the words of the ECW crowd, TNA, "YOU FUCKED UP!" |

| Or not. I mean, anyone who's convinced he's 100% is delusional. ONOZ HE RUBBED HIS NECK. He'd BETTER get his surgery, or at least rest up as much as possible. | |||

| Just "rubbing his neck" doesn't necessarily mean he's screwed.
At the same time, anyone who thinks he's 100% is fooling themselves. He might be better but that's likely an operative term. |

| Hey, have you guys heard of what's going to happen between Chavo and Rey? They are going at each other's throats again, this time in an "I Quit" match.
I'd figured Chavo had it when he got his ass kicked at NoMercy last Sunday, then another ass kicking at the RAW Reunion... *scoff* |

| Sorry to spoil it for you, but Chavo wins.
The reason, of course, being that Rey's scheduled to have knee surgery next week and will be out for months. |

| Just a note that, while I haven't watched wrestling in general in awhile, the whole Angle rubbing his neck thing could be a work leading up to an injured neck, um, angle, could it not?
(Yes, I'm aware of Angle's past problems with his neck, but the possibility is there, is it not?) |

Cynthia Uh-huh. Since: 11-17-05 From: LaSalle, Quebec, Canada Last post: 6287 days Last view: 6287 days |

| It's always a possibility, but why would you work that kind of angle right off the bat with Kurt?
Plus it's something that's not too far off what COULD happen.  |

Originally posted by Colin I would think this was be exactly why you'd want to work such an angle--you know, is it kayfabe, or is it real? Blur that line, if you will. Nonetheless, I do hope he's not seriously hurt. As mentioned before, the guy is a workaholic; while it makes him one of the best in the business, it could also be his undoing. |

| So, uh, how's about Raw last night? Didn't see it, but I'm told the Federseed was CASH MONEY out there. |
