TSC Evaluation #40: Kurt Angle

[CM_Burns]

I gave Brock a 10, but Angle's 02-03 run was unreal. GOAT level. He was doing sh1t that he probably regrets to this day week to week on SD, but it was incredible.

Cena/Lesnar ER 2012 is one of the best matches in company history, those two matches alone are better than any Angle has had IMO

The Summerslam 2014 rematch was also good

Angle/Shane is better than that and had absolutely no right to be on paper

 

[Slic Ric]

ehh I wouldn't put that anywhere close to Cena/Lesnar, the Shane match although good was just another example of my issues with Kurt as a wrestler

10/10


Kurt could do anything, face or heel, and you’d believe it. Dude could go toe to toe with fukking Brock off of his wrestling prowess alone. Like many other posters said, he may not be on the mt Rushmore cuz he wasn’t a transcendent figure, but he was everything you want in a wrestler in peak form.

Not a lot of people could pop up in that era and pretty much be instantly main eventing, that alone says a lot about his talent.

 

[Hostile]

Overrated. He got carried in his first few years which were also his best.

Almost everyone around at the time says that he was so freakishly good and took to the business so quickly that he was a ring general two years into his professional career

There is no way on this earth that you watched KOTR 2001 and thought “Shane McMahon is carrying Kurt through this match” fukk outta here

Angle himself said otherwise. Most credit for the KOTR match goes to Al Snow.

 

[Jim Cornette]

10..

He could talk, he could be face or heel.. serious or comedic. Could wrestle bigs, smalls, main event style...

Easily the best wrestler from 2001

 

[Lurk Angle]

One of the best to ever do it imo

Only had been in the company for a year and had got over

210/100, the same as his blood pressure at the time
