DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's what I said. Kurt Angle always said he was the one wanting time off, when it was the other way about. Which is why Angle even gave up a LOAD of money to go straight to TNA and break his no-compete clause, just so he could continue to keep going and keep going. He was a liability and that's why he was let go. You only have to look at the history books and people in the same situation who took the time off. The Undertaker, Steve Austin and even Kurt Angle himself did so. All of these guys could have competed and listened to their boss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I read not too long ago that Angles contract was up sometime within the next year and that he had been contacted by WWE. I'm also sure I read something saying that WWE creative had began work on an Angle comeback just incase it happened. If he does he would have to come back on a limited schedule, isn't that the reason he is in TNA? The schedule is lighter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he went back to WWE, he'd be forced into the light schedule whether he wanted it or not. And for anyone who has been to Braehead Arena before, you can pretty much tell just by looking at that .gif that it isn't said arena. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just a quick question. Anyone like Doink? I've never really been that into the gimmick but I've just been watching some old stuff and the original heel Doink The Clown played by Matt Bourne was an awesome heel. He was kinda scary as a kid and had the whole Heath Ledger/sinister clown deal going on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhRnWMBcNQQ...5AC&index=4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Zgfi7xdqU...5AC&index=5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNFCeow_1Mw...5AC&index=6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdlsF4R6xMo...AC&index=13 An awesome heel and he could deliver some great promos. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Under-rated big time as both a heel and a face. Watch some TV from the time when he was there, and he was constantly getting 15 minute matches because the guys knew how good he is. As a heel, he was a genuinely scary bugger, and almost a perfect fit for WWE at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've mainly been watching promos and interviews as it's not really the wrestler that has me gripped it's more the gimmick. He was so far ahead of his time IMO. I've not been watching any face stuff but I'll get around to it eventually. WWE fucked up a great character by firing Bourne after he failed a drugs test. and gave to anybody. Any matches you would recomend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Find his King of the Ring 1993 series with Mr. Perfect. Absolute gold. There was a decent TV fued with Randy Savage as well. Stuff with JJ and Owen Hart is also worth a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've already watched most of his stuff with Savage. I've heard about his stuff with Mr.Perfect too and it's something I'll need to check out. Owen/Doink sounds good too I'll need to watch that too. I'm watching Doink vs Kamala just now and his music freaks the shit out of me still used to scare me shitless as a wean . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Rikishi jumping off the cage was amazing - even more so the fact that he did a tightrope to the middle rather than jumping off the corner. My mate has just bought a ticket for Raw at Braehead on the 5th November. I'm wracking my brains to think of a hilarious sign (a la Owen Coyle is God at Wrestlemania) ... any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted the time off himself, why did he instantly jump to TNA and be forced to pay money to WWE for breaking his no-compete clause rather than sit out a couple of months ? It was fairly well documented at the time that WWE weren't happy with the fact that he could be paralysed in one of their rings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you, only other slightly interesting thing will be seeing if they get a title back to SD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Oh yeah and that. I'm not much bothered about the matches but I am praying that CM Punk makes a smash and grab act on John Cena after he wins a grueling Last Man Standing match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Wonderboy Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yeah I want to see Punk go fully heel so he can recapture his old ROH form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 CM Punk couldn't go with the ROH "better than you" gimmick as portraying being Straight Edge as bad would be a MASSIVE no-no for WWE in these PG times. Would be interesting to see what they did with Punk if they turned him heel. I Quit, Last Man Standing and Steamboat/Jericho should ALL be worth a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I just can't be arsed with another Cena vs Edge match. They are normally good but it has been done to the death. I will probably doze off when it comes on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
