An amazing video detailing Angle's move from WWE to TNA. I think its great that Angle made the move. Some may argue that TNA's product may not be as good as before Angle's arrival but I am pretty sure it would be the same as it is now if Angle never jumped to TNA, instead Jarret is in Angle's role (the top heel in TNA).

Hope you enjoy the vid!

That was a good video.

As far as the wwe kurt angle and the TNA kurt angle, its kinda tough to compare the two. When kurt angle jumped to tna, he had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Kurt was built as "the" superstar to buid TNA around. Has he done a good job? Yes, but TNA is still a long ways off from where they want to be. Kurt Angle in wwe, had a more entertainment based character. Tna originally built angle as a fighter, but is now more of a actor. For some reason now, i think he may be a bit too comical, and not serious enough. It seemed in the wwe there was a well enough compliment to each other, niether outweighted the other. Its seems like now he was 100% business, and now its 100% acting.

My thoughts on angle and jump....sort of a rant i guess.

that was a real good video.....it's hard to say the difference between Kurt on WWE and TNA....he's definitely helped TNA but like Montana says they still have a long way to go.....at the same time even though he's become more of a comic now it's still great to see him kick some @$$ on the ring

I agree, Angle is more of a comical character now...but I guess that is the way TNA sees a heel Kurt Angle as. I would rather him as a face so he can be down to business again, or bring back his extreme character from ECW (but toned down a bit, that was a little too much)

I think Angle brought a real sense of WWE when he arrived. He does WWE type promos, he wrestles a WWE type match. What Angle needs to do is develop to the young uprising which TNA tries to sell itself as, maybe hit moves with more of a "Holy shit, did you see that," maybe go back to the anger filled promos that seem unpredictable and why not try and help the yourger guys get pushed by letting them take his spotlight at some point.

Well Angle has tried a 450 Splash, continues to use his Moonsault, but he does need to tell Russo to put him out of the limelight and let someone of the younger stars who are getting pushes like Kaz & Devine *sigh* Raven *sigh*, take a chance at being something more...
