They were so damn entertaining in TNA...and in wwe we got EC3 -who is a monster on the mic and a great worker - getting a mute gimmick and not being used, Kurt freaking Angle getting retired by corbin, tyrus with the dancing gimmick and rockstar spud barely wrestling and "wetting himself". And i'm just naming the people in this video. Don't get me started on Eric Young, Bobby's Sisters, Austin Aries or Matt... Long live TNA , hope I'll get to see you rise again and that it's only a matter of time until TNA is kino again.
@@BoodyAnto hew not saying mjf was before ec3 he's just saying that this is when ec3 was just like mjf instead of the lower midcarder chasing the shity version of the hardcore Championship
Just imagine if they brought him back to WWE at this stage, as opposed to when they did. Rusev has had the US title for 20months...he has been on a tirade against America their athletes etc...he issues an open challenge at summerslam to any american athlete on the planet...then boom we hear Medal and out marches the wrestling machine
Rockstar Spud & EC3 were a joke. Especially Magnus or Nick Adis whatever his name is was TNA world champ. Bad for business. Dixie didn't care about the company goes down to the shitter.
Now this is how you use EC3 and Spud, I admit I stopped watching Impact when Hogan and Bischoff were at the helm, Still haven't watched since, But looking at these clips it looks like there has been a lot of great moments missed out on. Damn spud can sure go.
@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd I missed out on the broken hardy's too! Caught up a bit on UA-cam though, For me though Impact still feels tainted from those mistaken days! But hear they're pretty good right now under the new owners
What a fantastic match. If this was Dave Maverick vs Kurt Angle in WWE, chances that it would be a 2 minutes squash match unless they let good ol' Angle doing it his own way.
Two of them released (EC3 and Kurt Angle) and the other one is about to be released if he doesn’t win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship (Rockstar Spud/Drake Maverick).
Cameron Nyedhuff Drake is already released. WWE are just allowing him to compete in the Cruiserweight tournament. If he wins, he’ll obviously be rehired.
Kurt was released from his Producer role (probably furloughed) but I am pretty sure he still has a Legends contract. I hope Drake wins and for God's sake I hope EC3 goes bck to Impact. He'll get lost in the shuffle in AEW. Either Impact or NWA.
2:55 "Because if you do, I promise I will snap your friggin' ankle in two" imagine if Kurt Angle breaks Ethan's ankle he better have his health insurance card ready
I hold Kurt up there with the GOATS think about how good he was and how quick he became that good. He could brawl with Stone Cold put on technical master classes with Benoit he pulled of the dork gimmick, wrestling machine gimmick kiss arse suck up super heel faction leader he really is up there
Appropriate that they’re releasing this match after Drake Maverick (Rockstar Spud) was recently released from his WWE contract. He was a badass when he was Rockstar Spud though. I wish WWE would’ve used that character themselves but they didn’t. This was an incredible match. I wanted to see Spud beat him, but Spud couldn’t get the cover immediately off the Underdog. That’s why he lost.
Why every wrestlers that has been released by TNA and then wrestled in WWE, being the dumbed down version of themselves? I feel bad for EC3, Kurt, and Drake.
@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd at TNA, Kurt was the definition of a wrestling machine. When he returned to WWE, he just became.. Meh. I understand, that maybe due to his age. But EC3? Wow, that was a crime to use him like that bro.
The Black Nostalgia Nerd facts I agree...I Kno wwe is every wrestler dream but Vince not going to push everyone that's just the reality behind the money he throws at u
It’s like Bret Hart vs 123 Kid in 1994 also all 4 opponents 15 years apart...Bret born in 57 & 123 kid in 72 also Angle born in 68 & Spud in 83...Wow both team Babyfaces, also EC3 & Tyrus = Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart.
We will see what happens, because Impact has brought back the TNA World Heavyweight Title... I love that Moose is champ, but u know Impact will try to get Angle, Spud, EC3, Eric Young & Rusev. All 5 are going to end up with AEW or Impact.
Alfredo Collum I could see Rusev heading to NJPW. EC3 to NWA. Angle MAYBE to AEW as a producer. Spud and EY should come home to Impact though! Impact only has so much money to spend these days, they’ve gotta spend wisely.
Sometimes grass simply isn't greener on other side. They had good thing going on Impact, left it for crap of "E" and wasted 2 years of their life ( and probably not even make that much money than doing this + indy matches)

Kvothe 27 I don’t get how wwe mistreated those individuals
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well said
Back when EC3 was the MJF of TNA.
It should be the other way around cos it happened earlier
@@BoodyAnto hew not saying mjf was before ec3 he's just saying that this is when ec3 was just like mjf instead of the lower midcarder chasing the shity version of the hardcore Championship
No.
MJF is the EC3 of AEW
EC3 > MJF
MJF is is TNA's EC3 of AEW
Rockstar spud > Drake Maverick.
Emmanuel nguwo I don’t know man I really enjoy seeing him in the tournament
Drake Maverick > Rockstar spud
What if I tell you they’re the exact same person 🤯
> both lmao

Crazy Kurt was wrestling like this 5 years ago
Just imagine if they brought him back to WWE at this stage, as opposed to when they did.

Sure it was buddy
Ikr so true. Even his match in 2017 with el Patron was like a prime level match. Search it up if you havent seen it.
That's because Kurt rarely ever had a bad match. JBL used to like calling himself a "Wrestling God" but, Kurt Angle actually was one.
Rockstar Spud & EC3 were a joke. Especially Magnus or Nick Adis whatever his name is was TNA world champ. Bad for business. Dixie didn't care about the company goes down to the shitter.
i didn't realize how long josh Matthews has been in impact for.
He came in 2015
He's pretty much the Michael Cole of impact
It doesn't feel as long as it's actually been, does it? 🙃
He’s been there for 5 years now.
I was going to say the same thing. I thought they dubbed him in
Any chance we could get Spud and EC3's hair vs. hair match from 2015 while you're at it? 👀
This has more likes than I thought it would get, I'm glad people remember that match 😃
IMPACT should bring this stage set back for a PPV or a set of tapings
I’d love to see Kurt Angle back in Impact Wtestling in some capacity.
Impact doesn't have the budget anymore
It pisses me off how WWE treated EC3 & Rockstar Spud... good for them getting out of the WWE
Rob Picken I agree with you EC3 has everything to be a champion
Shirley Green so does Spud in my opinion
EC3 might be going back to impact.
Keanu Cora I hope so that man went from being the biggest superstar to chasing the 24/7 championship
Rockstar Spud got a NXT contract so not leaving WWE
Now this is how you use EC3 and Spud,
I admit I stopped watching Impact when Hogan and Bischoff were at the helm,
Still haven't watched since,
But looking at these clips it looks like there has been a lot of great moments missed out on.
Damn spud can sure go.
Oh yea you missed some great stuff honestly After hogan left Impact was doing well tv wise just Dixie carter was making more piss poor decisions
@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd I missed out on the broken hardy's too! Caught up a bit on UA-cam though, For me though Impact still feels tainted from those mistaken days! But hear they're pretty good right now under the new owners
[toastedroast] lashleys 2nd to last run with the title was nice too and decay was great
[toastedroast] also wolves vs hardys vs team 3d
@@retromirzie4697 might look into getting Impact+ see if all this is on there.
I'm still don't know why some of the fans booing Kurt Angle and cheered for Rockstar and EC3

Cameron Nyedhuff Drake is already released. WWE are just allowing him to compete in the Cruiserweight tournament. If he wins, he’ll obviously be rehired.
Jaylen Mondon If he is released then obviously they won’t make him win the tournament
Zulzi Gaming Well yeah, I don’t believe he’s winning.
Well Drake is 1-1 so he is way way far behind from winning
Kurt was released from his Producer role (probably furloughed) but I am pretty sure he still has a Legends contract. I hope Drake wins and for God's sake I hope EC3 goes bck to Impact. He'll get lost in the shuffle in AEW. Either Impact or NWA.
I see what you're doing Impact...…...and I love it.

This old TNAIMPACT championship was amazing
Aj, kurt, sting, Christian are the most impactful wrestlers in company history
Good match. TNA uses talent much better than WWE
@TJ P haters like this dude unfortunately can not understand that
TNA tried to compete on that level and they failed sadly
If they were actually any better they’d be known throughout the entire world by now.
@@dreammatchmania07 If they actually used stars better, TNA would have a more global and recognized presence.
This was probably the best match Spud has ever had!! In IMPACT WRESTLING
I miss TNA😢
This wasn't TNA this was impact
@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd It was TNA Impact Wrestling
Impact Wrestling AKA TNA 2002-2016 was better than WWE currently is and has been for over a decade.
Josh Matthews hella channeling Jim Ross when Spud goes for the Underdog lol. Great match!
I hope Spud returns to Impact or goes to NJPW
Wahid Bolger
AEW can only take so many people.

@Wahid Bolger Not everybody has to go to aew kid 😉
That transition to the finish was great. Spud trying to roll out from the Anglelock again , but Angle seeing it coming and counter into a grapevine.
This is awesome and classic moment in Impact wrestling.🤘🏼🤘🏼👍👍
Thought it was Christian in the Thumbnail. 🤣🤣🤣
When EC3 use to talk
I was thinking about this match a few days ago. How timely 😅
I still hope EC3, Spud and Eric Young resign with Impact
Re-sign, yes!
You have 2 wishes right there EC3 and Eric Young
@@sirmozzalot Yup. Im happy
I hope Kurt comes back to Impact, but not as a wrestler.
Him as a producer would be amazing
Gm
He won’t
Gearsfan 158 he could bring it back to former glory
He should go to AEW but as a GM or Doing commentary or even a producer.
I hear tna is hiring
That joke is so old it beat the fiend for the universal title
The Black Nostalgia Nerd lol😂😂😂
It's Impact Wrestling
Impact wrestling i love watching your UA-cam videos
Trouble trouble trouble! Ec3 was my favorite heel man!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Wow , how Spud throws Angle around like a ragg dol and then makes him tap out crying and becomes world champion ! (Psych)
This was a surprisingly good match
I hold Kurt up there with the GOATS think about how good he was and how quick he became that good. He could brawl with Stone Cold put on technical master classes with Benoit he pulled of the dork gimmick, wrestling machine gimmick kiss arse suck up super heel faction leader he really is up there

I can't believe Jeremy claimed Rockstar Spud weighed 248 pounds. More like 204.
vonVile 200 and 4 or 8 pounds 😂
He said 148 pounds
People hated impact at this but 2015 had some good matches fr
Bring back TNA already bring Eric young back and ec3 and spud
rock star spudd did the dudley dog spike dudleys move
This was the kurt we needed when he came back to wwe
Great match by two great competitors
No way this was 5 years ago
Ikr he was still good in the ring then and now can't turn his neck all the way. 2017 was his last good year in the ring in my opinion
If rockstar spud can fued with Kurt Angle for the World Championship.... wwe should take drake maverick more seriously
Vince fired him
Why every wrestlers that has been released by TNA and then wrestled in WWE, being the dumbed down version of themselves?
I feel bad for EC3, Kurt, and Drake.
Cause wwe is the dumb down version of pro wrestling been that way since the hogan era
@@TheBlackNostalgiaNerd at TNA, Kurt was the definition of a wrestling machine. When he returned to WWE, he just became.. Meh.
I understand, that maybe due to his age. But EC3? Wow, that was a crime to use him like that bro.
Rockstar soud just taped out in few seconds after the start of match when kurt Angel have him in head lock
EC3 and Spud buried their careers going to WWE!
They went to where the money was thinking that Vince would booked them like that was booked in Impact honestly people need to give impact more respect
The Black Nostalgia Nerd facts I agree...I Kno wwe is every wrestler dream but Vince not going to push everyone that's just the reality behind the money he throws at u
Where are EC2 AND 1
It’s like Bret Hart vs 123 Kid in 1994 also all 4 opponents 15 years apart...Bret born in 57 & 123 kid in 72 also Angle born in 68 & Spud in 83...Wow both team Babyfaces, also EC3 & Tyrus = Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart.
I remember this and it was a great match between both I mean damn spud almost beat Kurt and if that happen I would have gone marked out lol
TNA RETURNS PLEASE!!!!
Josh Mathews wasn't in TNA then was he. Aghh my head's fried
Yes along w D'Angelo DiNero aka Elijah Burke from ECW
Oh my God! I never thought that Drake Maverick would face Kurt Angle🤦♂️😂😂😂
I'm surprised it was a long match.
Please tell us you're foreshadowing with this upload.
Take a look WWE this is how you book EC3 and Rockstar spud AKA Drake maverick.
We will see what happens, because Impact has brought back the TNA World Heavyweight Title... I love that Moose is champ, but u know Impact will try to get Angle, Spud, EC3, Eric Young & Rusev. All 5 are going to end up with AEW or Impact.
Alfredo Collum I could see Rusev heading to NJPW. EC3 to NWA. Angle MAYBE to AEW as a producer. Spud and EY should come home to Impact though! Impact only has so much money to spend these days, they’ve gotta spend wisely.
@@thecheapestpop2447 EC3 to NWA? What? Why?
I think Kurt should go back. I wanna see Kurt Angle vs Michael Elgin.
Fatal Charade maybe a few years ago that would have been lit, but Kurt is broken down these days, his body sadly can’t handle wrestling anymore
It’s sad rock star ec3 and brodis was ruined in wwe it’s so sad
I feel like I’m the only one who never liked EC3 in TNA
Angle legend
Lol ec3 was mjf
Austin Aries should've been the one to beat Kurt Angle for the TNA World title, not EC3.
Good match
What timing
This felt like yesterday
You know it was a good match when they use the wrestler's real name
Sometimes grass simply isn't greener on other side.
They had good thing going on Impact, left it for crap of "E" and wasted 2 years of their life ( and probably not even make that much money than doing this + indy matches)
Way to cash in on the wwe release controversy
Impact is like wwe indelendent "wing"
They know what theyre doing
Kurt was a fucking beast inside the squared circle / six sided ring
Talk about David v Goliath
I never love this is man kurt angel because he wrestling with funny man and this man Rockstar spud everyone loves him
0:43 tyrus the jobber in the back like I sure do hopes masa’s coat don’t have no wrinkles sir
Peak Perc Angle and EC3!
Showing WWE how you’re supposed to use your underdogs.
This is where ec3 has paid his dues.
Marcus Kurt Angle
He shall wrestle again
😥😥😥❤❤
I watched this match today on UA-cam😂
Ec3 not number 1 kurt Angle and Rockstar spud number 1 I love you rock and kurt
Everyone went to wwe . but drek maverick still on wwe or rockstar spud ..
Kurt angle in his primetime what he deserved.
Kurt Angle vs Rockstar Spud (Who had a ridiculous name in the other company)
Come home drave maverick
Don't call him by his slave name
I miss the pope so much
He's in NWA
Me too
Tna is way better than wwe
Drake Maverick’s back in WWE after being released. hahaha
Fucking love spud
Ec3 is like the broken gimmick it only works in tna
No.
Both can work everywhere if used rightly.
#ControlYourNarrative
That's why tna destroyed never give chance to new talent
EC3 lipstick 💄💄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right after his release impact you sons of bitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rockstar Spud >>>Drake Maverick
EC3 TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE I HOPE EC3 RETURNS TO IMPACT OR GOEZ TO AEW
I don't remember this. Whaaaa
It was during the time people was saying TNA sucked after hogan and Bischoff left it funny what gems you miss
