This is an awesome video! Nice find. Kurt Angle talks just like Jerry Lawler haha. So basically what Angle said, was that WWE was not worth the money...something the whole WWE roster should think about...

Just so you know I agree with a lot of what he is saying. His comment about tna having the same or close to ecw rating is dead on. Have you checked out there ratings lately? The other thing he is right about is Tna talent is as good as some of the wwe talent. Just because there bigger Names does not mean there better!:detective:

i agree with tna having talent. rather then tna trying to sign big kev to wrestle i think someone should sign joey mercury as he is a phenomenal talent. speaking of phenomenal i would just like to say aj is a great heel

Angle can't fucking make his mind up on what he wants to do...he was probably drunk during this. But I can't believe that he thinks Impact would rival Raw....Impact only got a 1.1 rating and Raw is getting 3.5....probably 3.7 or 3.8 tonight. But there's no way.

I agree with some of the things with Angle said, but just the ratings and how he was treated is another matter.

However Angle point "independent contractor" is very good, and I wish he could've expanded that b/c you have these wrestlers out there that work as an independent contractor and you wonder if there should be a labor union?

TNA competition to WWE..Not anytime soon that’s for sure. They just moved to 2-hours and Kurt’s already talking about being a rival to Raw WOW, They get the same rating (1.0-1.1) every week while Raw gets up in the 3.0-3.5 area. Now don’t get me wrong TNA has great workers and maybe in the future TNA could be competition to WWE (which I actually want to happen so Vince could finally pull his head out of his ass and start booking good shows.) but not now and probably not in the next two years. But that’s just my opinion.

I do agree with Kurt on WWE’s schedule, it is kind of ridiculous if you think about it, having guys on the road so much in a span of the year does wear you down especially the older guys.

Rivalling RAW is not going to happen anytime soon, RAW might be slipping but TNA isn't improving either. TNA may say they can rival ECW but ECW has a much smaller roster, and hasn't been around (as a new WWE based promotion) for nearly as long. TNA may never rival RAW, even if the ratings do continue to drop.

They can rival Raw in terms of entertainment, but not with ratings.

With Raw producing only one or two good match a month (much less than what ECW and Smackdown produces), it shouldn't be that hard to beat them entertainment-wise.

Honestly, what did you expect him to say? "We are terrible" "The ratings are terrible"

No. Plus, when was this interview taken, like 3 months ago? I have to agree with almost everything he says. The ratings part, liike I said, what did you expect him to say? Seriously. Right now, everyone knows the ratings suck, but just give it a few more months. I have a good feeling. :)

LoL, he won't just shutup will he? Have Raw and TNA live in peace Kurt Angle, Is there really a need for TNA to rival RAW right now? It's getting very low Ratings as compared to RAW and has no Star Power as that compared to Monday Night Raw, If TNA does the same mistake wCw did then they can expect the same damn fate as that of wCw but if they wait for 5-6 years, till they get a nice Solid Fanbase then they can do whatever they want!
