Kurt Angle: These Are The 10 Best Cities To Wrestle In
Where are the best places in the world to wrestle? We asked the Master of the Ankle Lock to find out.

1. New YorkNew York is where WWE started and they continue to sell out there time after time. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pay-per-view, a television show, Wrestlemania or just a house show, you have to put on your best performance there because it’s demanded by Vince (McMahon); he shows up there even if it’s just a house show. The most memorable match I ever had in New York was probably my match with Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania 20 just because he was so great and the crowd was so into it. I wish Eddie was still here. (me too )


2. Chicago

You’re always going to draw a great house in Chicago, and the fans there are some of the most responsive fans in the world. They just love wrestling. Any place in the Midwest is great for wrestling, but Chicago is the premium town. You know you’re going to be appreciated there. I remember my Wrestlemania match there with Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton had to be cut by eight minutes because Rey had such a long entrance, so we just had to make it work when they called for the finish. That’s how you know you’re in the ring with pros.


4. San Antonio

Wrestling is just a tradition in San Antonio from the time they had Southwest Championship Wrestling there. They love their wrestlers there, and it’s the home of the guy I consider to be the best wrestler ever, Shawn Michaels.(Your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler ) Whether Shawn is there or not, though, the fans are always into it.

I almost forget he still wrestles lol

it feels like he's retired :cenaheh:

 

[Nintendough]

3 of those things are not like the others

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

He should've never retired...

 

[Plexxx]

please angle just come back and have a few matches with bryan, punk, cesaro.

10. Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has a great wrestling tradition from the days of Bruno Sammartino. It’s very old school, and the fans are so loyal. If you’re a hero in Pittsburgh once, you’ll always be a hero there. That goes for Bruno, and Ben Roethlisberger, and Terry Bradshaw, and even me as an Olympic gold medalist. And the fans also understand the psychology of wrestling, so it’s not hard to get booed there, either. Sometimes I’d have to go out and make sure the fans were prepped to boo me, which was always fun. I remember when they booed me during a match with The Rock, and I grabbed the microphone in the middle of the match and told the fans they shouldn’t boo me because I was born in Mercy Hospital two blocks from there. Dwayne hit me from behind, grabbed the mic and said, “It doesn’t matter where you were born!” The place went nuts. Man, I miss working with that guy.

I remember being at that event, and marking out when he said he was born in Mercy Hospital, because I was too.

I appreciate Kurt putting the home town on the list, though I doubt if he wasn't from here he'd list the Burgh.

lol@Boston...yikes. Don't suck up too much Kurt....know your limits.

I'm not sure what your driving at...Boston has always been an interactive crowd

 

[dakidbanks]

I'm from St. Louis and they have a big wrestling fan base here and from my memory the crowd is always interactive. I remember seeing Kurt here once. I think he was in a triple threat match at a PPV with Stone Cold and somebody else.

Nah...it's never talked about. Ever.

If a tree falls in a forest and there's noone there to hear it does it make a sound?

Kurt is hoping he has a part time deal waiting for him in august.

[TRIPLE M]

replace san antonio and pittsburgh with Dallas and Philly and I would agree from a viewing standpoint

 

[Gang$tarr]

If a tree falls in a forest and there's noone there to hear it does it make a sound?

That's a house show, it ain't like he's doing indies in front of crowds like that with no cameras or TV contracts. He's still on national TV with 1.2+ million viewers weekly, in front of crowds 1000+ for tapings. Let's not get carried away.

 

[dakidbanks]

I'm off and on when it comes to wrestling so can anyone tell me why he left in the first place?
