DA Baracus Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why wouldn't they take on Kurt Angle? I take it he is in a worse shape than Sting etc? Yes; substantially so. WWE didn't want anything to do with him a year or so ago. Just look at the way he walks. The man is fucked. Plus there were all the other issues he had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 DA Baracus, on 21 May 2015 - 12:50, said:Don't think he'll get a Rumble spot seeing as WWE will never pass him fit to wrestle. They passed Scott Hall as 'fit' to wrestle. A Rumble spot shouldn't be out of the question. He could just be a mark out spot, then eliminated after a couple of punches or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 No way would I ever want to see Kurt Angle near WWE again. Plus he's currently in the title picture at TNA and likely on his last wrestling contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could just be a mark out spot, then eliminated after a couple of punches or whatever. The difference here is that Hall WAS fit to do that run in at Mania. All he had to do was have a stare down and do some weak brawling. No bumps or moves. It's also widely accepted that Hall is retired and won't wrestle a match again. If Angle were to be involved, folk would expect him to wrestle since he's still an active wrestler. What would be the point in him coming in just to be eliminated quickly from the Rumble?! For a quick, cheap pop? Fans would go mental that it was just for that and lead to absolutely nothing. I doubt he himself would want to do that as well. It would be abysmal booking and just lead to more customer dissatisfaction. Some of you put Russo to shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 If it's accepted that he can't wrestle (I've not seen him or TNA in years) then fans would totally accept a Rumble appearance. Bubba Ray Dudley was in the form of his life in the past 2-3 year and whilst nowhere near as big as Angle, still a huge star and he was subjected to the Rumble treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He went crawling back to TNA recently because WWE didn't want him. I can't see him going to WWE. WWE could sign every single good wrestler on the planet, and wouldn't solve any problems that they currently have. Out of interest, what would you say would solve problems? I've been wanting some proper character development from the ground up for so many wrestlers for a long time. Around 90% of feuds are 2 week efforts and quietly dropped and the ones that do stick around, like the fucking midgets shoehorning themselves into teams, are invariably shite. The old system of everything being lock, stock and barrel through Vince McMahon is simply out of date and in the guy himself's case, out of touch nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure fans would accept that. He was multiple time world champion in WWE. Bubba Ray was never a singles star in WWE. He appeared in the Rumble as Bubba Ray, former WWE tag champ, not Bully Ray, former TNA World champ. Folk were chanting for Devon. If it were Angle, no way would fans accept a quick elimination. If they went to the trouble of getting him, fans would think he would be a favourite to win it and be working a programme with someone. Fans would be furious if Angle got chucked out post haste. It would kill the Rumble. Also there's no chance Angle himself would accept that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Out of interest, what would you say would solve problems? Basically, they need a much better writing team. They need to stop the three hour show as well. They also need to remember, ALL of the time and not just some of it, that there's a massive adult fanbase that watches their shows that don't want their intelligence insulted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingapar Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 They need to do the odd non PG pay per view for that as well. Extreme rules is pointless nonsense under PG restriction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't disagree with any of that, really. I thought the three hour show would be great to showcase new talent and add more meaning to feuds. Unfortunately the extra hour seems to be mainly used for a tedious authority opening segment or recaps. Another bugbear is that opening segment. You're 80% certain it's going to be 15-20 dragged out authority minutes. Go back to any old Raw from years gone by and the first 15 would be a complete mixed bag and set the tone for the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Madaschi Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I actually cannot believe that ending like, Ambrosewas told that he had to sign the contract by the end of the night, but when the cops took him away I was like "awww man hows he gonna sign the contract? Damn that Seth Rollins" and them when the police van drove in with Ambrose at the wheel I was in shock, what a rollercoaster. 10/10 show tonight!!!! Good to see the divas get some decent airtime tonight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Bit gutted that Wade essentially jobbed to Ryback. Terrible booking that one. The rest though was excellent, although would rather the show didnt start with the Authority in the ring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Madaschi Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You would think any shitey actor could learn literally a few lines in the space of an hour, especially when its on American tv all the time. Unless he wasn't an "actor" and won a competition to be on RAW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
