KURT ANGLE BEATS BROCK LESNAR IN JAPAN FOR THE IWGP CHAMPIONSHIP
By Bill Banks

On Friday in Tokyo, Japan, TNA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle defeated longtime rival Brock Lesnar for the IWGP Championship in a match for Antonio Inoki’s new IGF wrestling promotion.

TNA officials spoke by phone with Angle following the match, who had this to say:

“The IWGP Championship is the second title to add to my growing collection,” Angle said. On July 15 at Victory Road, I’m going to add a third title – the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Then after Victory Road, there will only be one more title for me to win – and that’s to take the X Championship from that fat slob Samoa Joe!”

Angle finished up by saying…

“It's real...it's damn real...thank you!"

Kurt Angle will be returning to the United States with both his TNA World Heavyweight Championship as well as the IWGP Championship.

I think the other title is the TNA Champioship. He said the IWGP is his second title to his growing collection.

Okay, to clear things up. Kurt Angle is NOT the IWGP champion. Those are not the official IWGP belts. Brock was the IWGP champ, didn't want to drop the belt, so screwed over New Japan and left, and stole the belts. New Japan owns both the IWGP title, IWGP championship, etc. THis card had nothing to do with New Japan. Yuji Nagata is the IWGP champion. Kurt Angle is not. He just has the 3rd gen IWGP belt that Brock stole.

Thanks for the information. I think that we will have a Kurt vs. Nagata match for the Undisputed IWGP title, knowing that both men worked together in Japan months ago.

either way, isn't nice to see that that Kurt Angle taking that "lighter schedule" for more money from TNA thing is working out so well for him [/sarcasm]

Lol,Yeah!

Yuji Nagata used to be in WCW,& I believe Sonny Ono managed him.
Wasn't much more sucessful then & there than Kenzo Susukiu in WWE..

As for Brock, he looks like Bob Backlund Junior..Tattoo is as ridiculous as Steiners..

 

[Great One]

Yeah, that tattoo is fucking Blue.
