I refuse to call it WWE but here is the article.

quote:

PITTSBURGH -- Kurt Angle, the Olympic gold medalist-turned pro wrestler, said he plans to return to Olympic competition in 2004.

Angle told WTAE-TV that he has been granted permission by World Wrestling Entertainment to pursue another Olympic dream. "I'm not too old and I feel physically good," he said, noting that he will be 34 during the 2004 games. "I feel like I'm peaking."
Angle said that he remains more defined by the technical skills of amateur wrestling than by the chair-weilding theatrics of pro wrestling.

An event he will oversee in New Orleans in November, titled the Kurt Angle Wrestling Classic, will feature the best U.S. and international amateur wrestlers. "It's bringing back a spark that's been dwindling since 1996," he said. Angle said that he plans to begin his Olympic training regimen in December.

The 1996 Summer Olympics provided an initial golden moment for Angle. At age 26, the Mt. Lebanon native and Clarion University of Pa. graduate, won the Olympic gold medal in wrestling.

In the WWE, Angle has gone from American hero to the role of universal heel, which is the pro wrestling vernacular for a bad guy. At home in Pittsburgh, Angle's wife, Karen, said the heel is more of a babyface, which is the industry's term for a good guy. He said that he will soon put on a fatherface. "My wife's pregnant and we're expecting in December," he said

Kurt is the best thing the WWF right now and to lose him for 2 years will be a huge loss. When he comes out to face his opponent at the Olympics are the fans going to chant " You Suck" in unison.

Kurt Angle is a great loss, but by no means does his being in the WWF make or break the company....They want another angle? Look no further than Eric Angle in OVW.....I'm glad to see they finally woke up and realised they already had talent in OVW and HWA and did'nt need to shell out the big bucks for some WCW reject....And so far it's been paying off


Brocky....No explanation needed

Mark Henry....Like him or not, he is getting responses

Rico...I like him, and others love to hate him

Randy Orton.....Good response, and the ladies sure seem to like him

and finally my favorite wrestler Leviathan, or whatever faggy name they gave him for his first stint in WWF.....Just wait a few weeks until this man gets to wrestle, you think Brocky is amazing, wait till you see a guy this size move the same way Brock does

The fans will miss Kurt and the you suck chants every time he comes to the ring. he sure did a great job when he was in the Steph/HHH angle, if he loses this sunday im sure he'll have his hair grown back in time for his 2004 Qlympic competition.

Good, Kurt should move on to better things than the WWF. Make your country proud rather than battle Edge and have your head shaved bald, you know Angle will lose in the Hair Match....

4. Mets win World Series!!!

Kurt Angle is better than all of those men COMBINED.

If he does leave for 2 years for the Olympics, it will be a HUGE blow to the company, as it's guys like Kurt & Jericho who are currently holding the company up on their backs. Mark Henry is not over (and never will be), Eric Angle is always injured (and will most likely never be half as good as his brother), Orton is way too green, they aren't pushing Rico, awful gimmick and all, as much of anything in the ring, and while Brock & Leviathan could be the next "big things", neither of them are yet as experienced or as skilled as Kurt Angle is today.

Sometimes I wonder if Vince is purposefully doing this shit to ruin his company. Having Rock make movies I can understand, cause Vince will get part of the profits, but letting arguably THE most talented man in the promotion (outside of maybe Benoit) go off for two years is not a smart move. Even if Kurt's Olympic quest will get the WWF good publicity.

BTW, and this is a separate argument to make, but how about pushing some of the talent you already have? I mean, sure, I'm all for seeing new blood like Orton or Lesnar, but when you have extremely talented guys like Booker T wasting away in a feud with Goldust or delegating Lance Storm to Jakked tapings, there's a serious problem.

The problem with the WCW when it was still around is that they were all ruined in that company. If you noticed alot of them did not draw anyone to arenas...In the last year or 2 of WCW that was mostly hardcore fans showing up they were not really drawing anyone new. Hopefully the WWF is gonna rebuild them and there worth might come back but right now honestly none of those guys can draw money or buy rates.

You might want to clarify that, if you mean experience in the WWF yes, but Leviathan has been a wrestler longer than Kurt Angle.....And to clarify my statement, it will be no tremendous loss for the wwf simply because most people won't give a shit.....Sad, but true....

Austin/Angle is a rivalry I always liked, HHH/Kurt was brutal and Rock always won so it really sucked. Angle put Benoit over and moved him up to main even. Finally they turned Kurt face... And if the Alliance never existed and they kept the HHH/Austin vs. Kurt it could have been good. It would have worked great for Kurt, fighting the 2 top heels but the dumb alliance came in and Austin had his 'WHAT' shit goin on and it fucked up what could have been something good for Kurt...

Any quote you read from any wrestler remember they are wrestlers. What better an angle than to have a big farewell for Kurt then have him attacked and injured so he can't compete..Anything is possible.

It sucks that these worthless people chant "you suck" everytime he comes out. I hope Angle does persue his dream. He's my favorite wrestler, and he's the best wrestler. Now, Angle haters, please don't tell me that I suck. :-D

Wouldn't it be funny if he did win gold, comes back, and shoves it down our throat again?

What if Kurt desides not to come back? What about Ken Shamrock? It's about been 2 years, and he's not back yet. I know rumors are he is comming back, but you never know.
