Kurt Angle is a gold medalist and an invaluable superstar to TNA. After 8 years in WWE, he left in 2006 and has been with TNA since. He's been involved in some of their biggest feuds, best matches, and arguably have them a lot of recognition. With his recent 4th DWI arrest, his future could be in jeopardy. If Kurt left tomorrow, how would TNA hold up?

No. If they do become worse, that's a problem. They have their own homegrown talent they should be focusing on and try to make as popular as Angle is/was. Can't rely on WWE "rejects" all the time.

Well he's not a reject. :lol: he chose to leave but you can't argue the fact that he's put on some fucking great matches in TNA and is a huge star

That's why I put it in quotes. The only word I could come up with. Yes, he has a huge library of great matches in TNA. Does not mean he's not expendable when it comes to stardom in TNA. I do think someone can easily replace him. Storm, Roode and AJ, etc. Maybe even Aries in a few years.

But TNA doesn't have a few years to wait. They're already on thin ice

That is true. Still, though. Publicity wise and investment wise, what does Kurt bring to TNA other than great matches? He can totally be replaced by next week.

I don't see the company losing anything if he was let go or didnt come back. Now he is a great talent and someone that can do things.

I don't think even TNA knows how to fix their issues and one person will not make or break them unless they somehow stole Cena away from WWE.

Now I do agree with Vips that he can be replaced but if they advertised better Kurt will still draw along with Hardy and Sting.

They wouldn't be worse without him, but he does add a lot to the product. He is one of the few dependable veterans and a true bad ass. He brings legitimacy to the product. Wrestling Kurt Angle still means something and getting a win over him is still considered a huge boost for any up and comer. He can still help a lot. But, they don't get worse from his absence alone. It's just one less guy they'd have to pay.

Yes, he's very dependable when it comes to those DWI's. You can bank on him getting at least one a year. :lol:

The company may very well be worse off if he was to leave, but that would be their own fault for not building up new stars properly.

TNA is in jeopardy anyways. But if Kurt left, TNA probably would'nt be here.

I can't see TNA letting him go especially since Spike is footing the bill for his contract.
