News Angle flips out at TNA creative

[Crayo]

Kurt Angle was scheduled to undergo knee surgery in late January but the surgery was pushed back so Angle wouldn’t miss the TNA UK tour because Jeff Hardy couldn’t go and Sting had left the company.

During the tapings in Glasgow, Scotland this past week, an angle was shot where Angle was beat down with steel chairs, which appeared to be where he was written out of the storylines. The next day in Manchester, Angle was told by TNA creative writers that he was scheduled to run-in during a segment. Angle flipped out because he had already been written out of the storylines and because he was working despite doctor’s orders not to. Executive Vice President of Television Production John Gaburick was said to have been on the wrong end of Angle’s rant and in the end, Angle did not work that taping in Manchester.

Angle did his Hall of Fame induction the next day in London and got into it with Ethan Carter III, leading to a Lockdown match between the two, as PWMania.com reported. It appears TNA is expecting Angle to gut through the Lockdown pay-per-view without having surgery.

ffs Kurt your health is more important than killing yourself for some shitty TNA shows.

Well, that seems like something Kurt would do without complaining, I'm actually surprised that he's complaining. Don't get me wrong, he should be complaining indeed, but that doesn't sound like Angle. If they're insisting on the match then EC3 is probably going to get the win somehow to get a rub (how did that work for Brisco last year, btw) and that's why they need him, but yeah... working injured has to suck.

Good point on Brisco. Good on TNA for trying to make make new stars but just like Brisco, EC3 hasn't really been tested and then they just throw an Angle rub at him and hope for the best.

Why not give young guys a trial push and see who actually gets themselves over as opposed to these wwe-esque hand picked pushes

Yeah man, I agree, definitely. There have been sooo many guys who were just quickly pushed to the moon and it didn't go because either the fans didn't care or the guy wasn't ready. I mean, EC3 had a feud with Sting, but that wasn't really that trial push, he was treated as nothing and barely got any mic time, got a fluke win and etc. I guess they're just desperate to create new stars for this "New Era" deal, and that's fine, but rushing things has never been the solution in wrestling.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Is Crimson recovered from his knee injury? Now THAT is a young guy who deserves a legit push.

 

[Leo C]

I think he is, he did wrestle a few matches before being released, iirc. They didn't seem too keen on pushing him at that time though.

 

[Nero_x3]

Dear god Angle, your neck's already bad, why do you have to further ruin your knees?

 

[Butters!]

What the hell?! They expect him to compete with he's injury. Are they freaking mental?!

Come on now, That's ridiculous, he should be resting.

 

[Stopspot]

Also hasn't EC3 already gone over Sting? Did that do him any favors?

Apparently not.

This.

I wish we knew if it was a Russo deal or not. Fuck them, Angle earned his time off.

Russo is being rumored to work with TNA again, so I imagine yes.

lol yeah im saying i'd like it confirmed. Either way that is an idiotic asshole move, and i dont know if it was russo but what about the kidnapping thing Testify posted? Wasnt that Samoa Joe? Not sure if that was Russo either but TNA have done this kind of dumb shit in the past.

 

[Snowman1]

Suppose this is the only problem with the TNA way of doing things, with everyone being involved in a separate storyline. You can't use a lot of guys in this spot (Anderson, Storm, Joe, etc) because they're busy in other feuds. Still, surely they could have had Austin Aries in this spot to keep Angle healthy, right?

really just came in here to lol @ Aids' signature again.
