TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle

[TellerMorrow34]

Dude.. he has problems. Its widely known. I love the guy and i think he's one of the top wrestlers of all time, real and fake wrestling, but he has some real problems right now that he needs to get help for. The business is tough and he's put his body on the line every night. You can't ask more from him as an athlete or an entertainer.. but it does take its toll and he's suffering right now. He needs help and when he makes mistakes like that, letting him go or pretending it didn't happen just isn't helping anyone.

Great post. Absolutely spot on with this.

Most of my wrestling views are the popular ones, besides my preference for wrestling over entertainment. oh wait.. Thats popular too amongst Wrestling fans.

HBK & Flair are 1 and 2, and if you list anyone else as 1 or 2 i'd love to debate it as it's a debate you can not win, you could list Bret Hart, ill say he was stale on the mic. you could say Andre and i'll say greatest big man of the previous era, but no hes' not on the same level as Flair or HBK. He couldn't work those type of matches.

Only people that come close since entertainment as become a big part of wrestling, as you can't compare Bob Backland to HBK are Kurt Angle, The Rock & Bruiser Brody.

And? So what if you say something else? What exactly does that mean? Exactly. Nothing. You can disagree and say its them two till you're blue in the face. Doesn't make it right or wrong. And stop with all this popular opinion crap. Its stupid and nonsense. Unless you've polled every single wrestling fan in the world to get those 'popular' opinions then you've got nothing that represnts all of wreslting fans. The sooner you realise that the forums you go to don't reflect all, or even a majority, of fans the better.

You should have used it more profitably... here's a thought, perhaps you could have studied the English language... LOL...

Then there's always girls-- you've heard of them, haven't you??

For someone who just accused this poster of behaving like a "jerk", this post sure does seem similar.. especially when you talk about someone's life when you have no idea what they've been going through. Ease up there bud, he's just a kid.

Ahhh, but your premise was "greatest of all time"... that includes the 50s and 60s...

And permit me to assure you, the von Erichs were wrestling in the 70s... you should read up about that family, it's a real tale of tragedy... basically, they were the Harts before the Harts came along... and Kerry von Erich had a physique that would have made the Ultimate Warrior go "damn"...

Good to see you posting Bear ....... hope everything is good in your life.

The talk about the Von Erichs brings back great memories of watching wrestling with my grandpa on Saturday nights.

The whole VE/Freebird stuff was epic wrestling. I miss all that. It was so much fun.

I met the late Gary Hart about 15 years ago.

Nicest man you would ever meet. He really loved the Von Erichs ...... which is funny considering their on air roles

I use to see Gary.. I bet he was nice. Remember Gino Hernandez? Wasn't Gary his manager? Gary did alot of stuff in Houston when the Coliseum had wrestling..he was a great guy on the mic.

For me, it's memories of my college days down at UTEP... can't even recall what organization it was that they broadcast, all I recall is that it was broadcast from the Dallas Sportatorium...

I also remember that they were real liberal with the use of blood... real liberal...

Suddenly this thread has taken a nostalgic turn for me... LOL...
