What Would Kurt Angle's Legacy Be Had He Went To ECW First?

[DaylitoJames]

Watching Kurt Angle lately in TNA has been somewhat painful... he's still good but needs not to be wrestling in gyms anymore and go back to WWE because he's looking like he gonna become the next Mick Foley fragile-wise as a result. Makes me wonder what would Angle's legacy would have been had he originally gone to ECW like I think he was originally supposed to?

Most people know the story but for those who don't... Angle was doing commentary during Sandman vs Raven and all of a suddenly Raven legit CRUCIFIES Sandman which just offended everyone especially Angle who said "fukk that" and went to WWF and the rest is history. How hardcore would have Angle become had he stayed in ECW?

He'd basically be Taz, and be buried after the invasion. I doubt he'd like the business like he does now and be coaching college and olympic ametuer wrestling somewhere.

He would not be a hypocrite because he sure as fukk didn't say shyt when undertaker did it to stone cold. I guess money talks.

 

[Singh]

would fukk up his neck worst in ecw, be more drugged out, & probably dead right now

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Since we wouldn't have been a product of McMahon he would have been seen as an outsider and a lot of guys would have been intimidated by his skill

In short, that shovel would have put in some work

all worked out for the best...better question is what would Bret Hart legacy be if Bischoff didn't fukk up his WCW run

the raven/sandman one was way worse...it was an actual cross...

 

[Nintendough]

He would be remembered as another non Vinny created wrestler who should've been pushed but wasn't.

with the barbwire crown

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

I think what made Angle mad even more so was he wasn't told ahead of time and the segment wasn't cleared by Heyman

 

[Devilinurear]

the raven/sandman one was way worse...it was an actual cross...

Same thing and the symbolism is the same.

agreed.

Hard to say, Tazz would have never become ECW Champ, that's for sure.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Would've burned out early on the business. Maybe come along during the Invasion and then get jobbed out and released.

Would have signed with WWE around the same time he actually did
