Karen Angle freaks out backstage, Ultimate Warrior rumor killer, and more TNA news

-- A number of people in TNA are concerned about Kurt Angle's health these days. Things got so bad that at the Slammiversary pay-per-view last week, Karen Angle practically acted hysterical when she saw him "out of it." Tomko tried to calm her down saying he was simply "working." Angle wanted to wrestle on TNA's recent tour of the U.K., but management held him back.

-- TNA officials appeared to be interested in the services of the Ultimate Warrior when he announced his return to wrestling a few weeks ago, but these days it looks to be a dead issue. They aren't talking about bringing him in anymore, so it doesn't look like it's going to happening.

-- U.K. wrestler Doug Williams has indeed signed a contract with TNA and will be working as a regular. He is expected to start with the company at next week's Impact tapings.

Damn, it looks like Kurt Angle really needs to take some time off. I would let him wrestle one last match at Victory Road against AJ Styles, then let him rest until Bound For Glory. Also I am glad TNA isn't interested in Warrior anymore, they really don't need anymore has beens on their roster.

Thoughts?

damn chess you beat me to it...

anyways, if ultimate warrior wants to come back, then he has to be positive about it and not change his mind or whatever he did...

I think Angle should take some much deserved time off. If you noticed he didn't wrestle on any iMPACT tapings leading up to Slammiversary. They could perhaps keep doing this and only have him wrestle at PPVs. Have him appear at iMPACT to promote his feud but not to wrestle!

Awesome!! I can't wait for Williams debut. Hopefully they don't bury him among the rest of the talent.

From what I heard and read, he had good triple threat matches in the UK tour against AJ and Jay Lethal, so I guess he will be an addition to the X-Division. Hopefully heel, as that is what they need

Great to hear about Doug Williams. Fantastic news for a UK fan such as myself!!

 

[OsamaHussian]

Great news from TNA, they're not going to sign Warrior Warrior (Thank you, GOD!) and have signed Doug Williams who is a damn fine worker if I do say so myself.


TNA:

Kurt really needs to take time off, it's what's best for him. This way he can heal up and be 100% again.

 

[1chiban]

He'll only end up paralysed or something if he continues insisting on working hurt.

 

[Evil Austin]

Thank god we will not have any more of the warrior.. hopefully,

Angle really needs to take time off like now....seriously the dude is going to die before he stops wrestling..he is nuts.

Ya Angle needs time off. The Williams signing isn't great. He's a good wrestler, but he has no charisma, and would not stand out on iMPACT! imo. I'd much rather continue to watch him in NOAH.
