Kurt Angle: Why He Left WWE & Went To TNA/IMPACT Wrestling - Розваги
Some of Kurt's best work was done in TNA. 2010's era TNA was FIRE!
And he was amazing in TNA.
Tna impact legit stars not AEW TNA history should be on peacock tv their library is very memorable then AEW has over 5 years
This makes me wonder if they treated WwE starts like athletes and had them working less shows, traveling less or could fifure out how to lighten the load how much better would stars be
@@dinnelramirez1216 they do with brock and roman. They dont wrestle unless its ppv
@@dinnelramirez1216 they helped them when they had half of them on raw and half on smack down instead of doing both shows
he was special… (insert vince crying meme)
His first wwe run, Kurt says he was the best wrestler in the world for 4 yrs. And he is right! He's everyone's top 5 of all time for a reason. He proved to be the best.
@@digitalfates1179He did wrestle Benoit.
@@JohnSmith-wo9qsbret hart did not
@@RandomVids519
Yes. He did. It was a tribute match for Owen Hart after his tragic fall.
1. Stone Cold
2. HBK
3. People's Champ
4. Dead Man
5. The Hustle Royalty & Respect soldier
@lovelykumari9553 haha. Okay, not everybody's top 5. I won't debate because you have your take on this. I will say, Kurt had great matches with different kinds of wrestlers of different styles. Well, I hope we can at most agree Kurt is an all-time great. But if he is not in your all-time great list, then there's something wrong on your end.
Be well. Thank you for your reply.
I’ve been watching Kurt angle since 2000 and when he made his WWF debut and then went to TNA, which is now impact wrestling, which I still watch talk to this day. I think that Kurt angle should buy impact wrestling.
He made his debut in 1999
So the punchline is that you think he should "buy" TNA. Because buying companies is that easy right?
Kurt Angle before becoming Smackdown general manager was an absolute beast that made guys like Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold and John Cena tap out. He somehow made some of it after that by having rivalries with Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Mark Henry.
He was great in WWE....he was great at TNA. Simple and easy....he was a big name for TNA and treated that way. WWE had numerous big names. Of course in terms of wrestling..
He is one of the best. He is my favorite no matter where he performed.
tna deserves more respect
The early days of TNA were really great. I would say even better than AEW. The breaking point for me was when they decided to have a regular four sided ring instead of the six sided. They literally took away TNA’s identity.
I knew it in 2002 my Uncle was a mark for wwe he said TNA is a wannbe WCW company 20 something years later NOW! He says its the best company
Im calling it know in 2043 people are gonna Complain saying AEW was better 20 years ago face it when its OLD its GOOD
@cjmania1980 If only TNA had the budget and exposure AEW has as a company. In a way , it did remind me of WCW , but not in a bad way. I do agree that TNA in its early days , especially around the time Kurt debuted and they had the Main Event Mafia angle, 6-sided ring , X-Division matches , etc were definitely top notch.
TNA introduced me to wrestling outside of wwe (I started watching I think in the main event mafia era) Impact is still great imo
Greatest TNA Wrestle of all time... I watched TNA Wrestling because of Kurt Angle
Ive always associated kurt with tna cuz i knew him best there. Sometimes i even forget that some of wwe’s who eventually became TNA’s biggest stars were at/started at wwe
Kurt angle
Kevin nash
Aj styles
Rikishi (but not really cuz he was only at tna for like 6 weeks)
Showtime eric young
Awesome kong etc
Not gonna lie his tna run was better he had opportunities to go wrestle in Japan while still signed that match with Brock was incredible in Japan as well some great matches outside of New York territory
I will always prefer watching TNA over WWE. TNA is way more hardcore 💕
That moment when Perc Angle ran wild
The bean kicked in!
Percin
The bean kicked in 👺
WATCH'YA GONNA DO WHEN PERCAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!
Who is Perc Angle?
Perc Angle in TNA is goated
He’s absolutely right. There was not a better wrestler in the world than him for a good chunk of time
The wrestling was better and brutal in tna than in wwe
I consider Kurt more of a TNA guy then I do a WWE guy
He got more respect in TNA then he did in WWE
Yeah, in WWE he seemed to be more of a joke. Even in his rivalry with Brock, he had some goofy segments , even though their matches were still top notch. In TNA , he was the real deal, it was no nonsense when it came to what Kurt did in and out of the ring. I liked when he had that rugged, scruffy look during that time. It made him look like more of a badass.
He made his name for himself as a pro wrestler in wwe. He’s easily a wwe guy.
@Darren Reddix he created his legacy in wwe. TNA is where people went when they were slowing down. It doesn’t matter if he was there longer
While Kurt wrestled longer in TNA, he is WWE guy to everyone.
If that the case i consider aj styles more of wwe guy then tna in tna aj was always overlooked by other wwe wresler like kurt hogan etc but in wwe aj has wresle all mega star from roman to seth to Brock to undertaker cena edge rey drew Bobby etc I see aj has better career in wwe them tna
wayyy better in Tna
i wouldn’t say way better but he was better in TNA despite his opioid problems persisting. Never forget when he won every TNA title belt (bringing those Triple H belt memes to reality)
TNA WAS better than WWE.
I love how he looks so grandpa-ish, but yet, not old.
Yes he does
He looks like a fit grandpa that goes to the gym
His abs says WOOOOOOOO
Them percs aged him kinda weird but he stays in great shape
It was his destiny to become Perc Angle, Percules, The Oxycontinental Champion of TNA. That's why he left you fools
Perc Angle was a monster. He should have gone to UFC and taken the HW belt too
His best years was with tna
F TNA.
Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart if only....
I used to be a mark for wrestling and I didn’t like Kurt. Now I’m a smart mark and at his time in WWE he was the best wrestler there after Brett left. He was an amazing heel and definitely got that heat. He is great
For a few years Kurt Angle really was the best wrestler in the world 🐐
"You were introduced to the world by WWE"
Ummmmmm...Atlanta 1996...
I'd say he was introduced to the world by the Olympics.
noo wwe the olympics he was just some guy that won the olympics!
Came to say the same thing
Kurt Angle vs Abyss
I would say his career in WWE was better when it comes to the matches, because Kurt made some of the big names in WWE tapped out, guys like Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, HBK, Kane, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar the list goes on and on. While in TNA, he only had a great career there by being a multiple time world champion and he conquered every title in TNA.
Don't forget to mention when he lead the Main Event Mafia faction , which was arguably the Four Horsemen of TNA.
So basically, Vince worked him to the ground😕...
Perc was a 99 overall in TNA
that moonsault on stage 😂😂😂 perc angle was 100 stats easy
WWE only truly took Kurt seriously in 2005-2006, when Kurt went to TNA, TNA TOOK WHAT WWE STARTED WITH AND JUST RAN WITH IT, and looking back on his first years in WWE, I'M GLAD THEY DID, his first 3 to 4 years with WWE were embarrassing, yeah he won titles but he was just an afterthought, when he should've been the wrestling machine in those 3 years, but noooooooooo, they made him a dork, AN AWKWARD DORK, AND IT'S PAINFUL TO LOOK BACK ON.
The prime TNA since 2006 till 2010 was better than the WWE from 2013 till now and AEW's whole run...
Kurt Angela and Chris Benoit were ghe greatest wrestlers of all time
It’s crazy he was better in TNA in his prime at WWE he was legendary but in TNA his character went from a heel to a true villainous heel/ tweener way more sophisticated and way more PERCED UP
When someone says Best in the world.....CM punk doesnt even make the top 20 but prime Kurt angle is easily top 3
Kurt was in his prime in TNA, Amazing Run. He is WWE return sucked in my opinion.
Man Kurt from 99-04 was my favorite wrestler on the roster 🔥 but when he went to TNA (considering I was watching it since 2003) it damn near made me a “TNA guy” cause I tuned into TNA more than I did WWE
He was introduced to the world by winning an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin neck!
What a giant ego he has, he has never been the best wrestler in the WWE/wwf history. Wasn’t even mediocre grappler
Why do y’all be so hype to mention perc Angle?
I kinda wish he never went on TNA. Just my opinion
Perc Angle in the ring was built different
His debut with the "iMPACT!" teethcap, even the Main Event Mafia or "VICIOUS" teethcap makes Angle an icon on TNA.
TNA Perc Angle was a different animal
Drew was in wwe already tho around 2009
I got to meet him at an Indy show a few years back. When he got in the ring and everyone is doing the you suck chant to his music I don't think I've ever seen a bigger more genuine smile in my life.
I thought he was released
Because of PERC.
perc angle was the best tna 💪
Kurt is one of the greatest wrestlers and entertainers to ever step in the squared circle. Kurt was amazing
I never really thought about that. He truly did have a better career in TNA.
Fire Russo
I agree with you right there that’s the reason why WCW went under was because of Vince Russo
Perc angle !!
Didn't matter if it was a ppv or a regular tv broadcast, Angle almost always had match of the night for years in tna.
He was in Impact Wrestling longer than WWE and became a huge star even though I don’t follow Impact Wrestling much.
TNA used to be so good from like 2005-2011. It was easily more entertaining than WWE in those years
In TNA, Kurt was built like a freaking wrestling machine, while in WWE, he was slowly turn to a entertainer more
I agree the TNA schedule is what gave him extra years in the ring and kept him well paid. Another year in WWE could have been disastrous.
TNA Kurt angle aka Perc Angle arguably greatest pro wrestler to ever do it!
Truly a great wrestler.. somewhere amongst the likes of Bret hart, stone cold, undertaker
Kind of funny how I first saw Kurt live on tv in Tna and only found out he was in wwe through playing the older wwe games.
Kurt angle along with bret hart were the pure wrestlers athletes ... Their moves and performances were actually beautiful and they had great techniques better than many wwe greats or baby faces.
I’d say arguably he was the best wrestler in wwe for 5.5 years from January 2000 when he wrestled taz at the rumble until he left during the ecwwe era in 2006 he was the best wrestler
Kurt angle's TNA theme is far superior to his wwe theme
I never did get that he said he was burnt out but yet he joins another company two months later
Him and bret would have had such great matches. Could have had the usa vs Canada run with Kurt joining dx lol
Kurts looking skinny it happens to athletes after they retire i know but i hope hes as healthy as he can be..
Always was my favorite or second favorite wrestler as a kid growing up
03 Kurt was different
he didn't leave WWE,. they released him
He did request them to release him though.
He requested that
Thee Man
Damn
Kurt vs Brett would have been cool
We really missed out on that smh
Kurt Angle never drew a dime! 💰💵🤦👎👎...
Dude, when Kurt went to TNA, TNA WENT CRAZY BIG, Kurt is a huge draw, not as big as Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan or The Rock, but he's a huge draw.
Kurt Angle is one of the greatest of all time in the history of the wrestling business.
