Kurt Angle scenario's for WM

[Guest Dangerous A]

I am not an Angle mark, but I believe he deserves a better buildup to WM than what he got last year. I have 2 scenario's that could fit Angle into high profile programs at WM.

 

1) Angle gets reinserted into the HHH/Jericho program. The argument being that HHH won the rumble, but Angle won the no way out match and both should get a shot at the title. If HHH can't get back into main event ring shape, make it a triple threat match(my least favorite of the scenario's). If HHH can go, then make a mini round robin with Jericho facing Angle first, then Angle facing HHH, and finally HHH taking on Jericho. Jericho is the champ so he gets the favorable positioning.(personally I would have Jericho go over in this scenario as it would cement his ME status and he can continue a program with HHH at Backlash) Plus the fans will want to see a traditional face vs heel match up to end mania.

 

2) Have Angle team with Austin against the Outsiders. This gets Nash in a match at WM. The selling point would be that the Outsiders are a tight unit and one of the greatest tag teams ever (need to mention their reign of terror with the WCW tag belts), and that Angle and Austin can't stand each other as they have been feuding for months now. I personally would rather see Nash and Hall together before seeing Hall vs Austin one on one and Nash vs Kane (rumored). Plus I always dig the whole tag team partners who have to team up and can't stand each other program.

[Guest Flair5000]

Well Angle lost his shot on raw. I think he'll be in midcard. Maybe vs Edge or a face Booker T

[Guest areacode212]

Yeah, I'd like to see Angle in some semi-ME capacity, though with all the top faces feuding with either the nWo or Jericho, it will be hard for him to stay up there. I like the Austin/Angle "tag partners who hate each other" idea, though.

[Guest tpww7]

I think WWF might stick Austin in a handicap match against the Outsiders because after all, Austin said he would beat all the nWo's asses at once on Raw, and Vince taking advantage of those words seems possible. As for Angle, could a program with Kane be far fetched? They did have a few decent matches with each other in the past.

[Guest areacode212]

Ugh, I certainly don't want to see Angle/Kane, since most feuds involving Kane are horrifically boring. He's fine as the guy Vince/Flair use to punish someone on Smackdown ("tonight, you're in a match with....KANE!!!"), but who wants to see him feud with Angle?

[Guest Choken One]

Let Angle  Certain jerk with Saturn.

[Guest Army Eye]

Why not RVD.. Seems like a good match, two guys that are very over.

 

unless RVD's getting an IC title match at Wrestlemania of course

[Guest NoCalMike]

Well, the best scenario would have been for Angle to keep the title shot after Raw, but of course Vince loves to render PPV main events relevant for a whole 24 hours......Now we will suffer as Triple H will most likely go over Jericho at WM.  I was hoping maybe Steph was going to cheat in order for Angle to keep the title shot, making people assume she is aligned with Angle, only to have her turn on Angle at WM and reveal that she was with Jericho all along.

[Guest dreamer420]

I say if they can't find him something to do for Wrestlemania, that they should have Kurt do color all night beside the King and JR .

[Guest OSIcon]

The best bet is that Angle will face Edge at Wrestlemania.

 

I don't really see the WWF going with a fourth Regal/Edge Pay Per View match.  They rarely stretch good feuds that produce good matches for that long, so I don't see them doing it for a mid card feud that has had mediocre results at best.

 

Its one of those 'gimmie' feuds that doesn't need a lot of thought put into it.  Wrestlemania is in Toronto.  Edge is from Toronto.  Kurt Angle's gimmick relies heavily on the fact that he is American and an American gold medalist.  The match is guarenteed good heat and can have a lame duck build up of Angle saying something deragoatory about Canada in context to WM, Edge rebuts, they have a couple runs ins, and there you have the match.  The best part is that Angle is already a heel and Edge a face, so they don't need to do any alignment flipping just because the PPV is in Canada.

 

As a side note, the most sensible opponent for Regal would be RVD.  He was heading towards a feud with him anyway, and being the most over mid carder, it makes the most sense for him to win the IC title at WM (It would have been easy enough to start the feud last night by having RVD pin Regal, but oh well...)

[Guest tpww7]

If The WWF doesen't go with RVD vs Regal 1 on 1 they could build to a fatal 4 way with Regal, Edge, Goldie and RVD i guess.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

i'd say vince comes back and reinstates kurt in the main event, to one-up flair for his meddling in the no way out match.  because apart from trips, there are really no faces on a high enough level to fued with kurt.  well, there is rvd, but kurt would probably shy away from working with him after their heat last year, and there is no obvious program between the 2.  on raw though, angle was shown to be very cosy with steph, maybe something can come from that??

[Guest Some Guy]

I see either a Triple Threat match with HHH, Y2J, and Angle or Angle/RVD.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

not rvd, he doesnt have the push or the storyline to get into that fued, though angle easily fits into the triple threat.  rvd will probably fued regal for the IC, or a 4 way with regal, edge, and goldust.

[Guest Tony149]

I'm also thinking RVD will be in a 'Fatal 4 Way' with Edge, Regal & Goldust for the I-C Title.

 

They might put Angle with Big Show or put him in a feud with Mr. Perfect.

[Guest Anglesault]

EDGE? KANE? SATURN? Why don't you jst fire him now.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

true that anglesault.  it shows the weakness of the midcard that nobody is even at a high enough level that they can be elevated into a fued with a main eventer at short notice.  its absolutely laughable.

[Guest goodhelmet]

"If The WWF doesen't go with RVD vs Regal 1 on 1 they could build to a fatal 4 way with Regal, Edge, Goldie and RVD i guess."

 

Yeah a fatal four way would give me flashbacks to that awesome Shamrock-Venis-Goldust-Road Dogg 4way at WM15.

 

As for Angle, If they are ever gonna elevate RVD, a match with Angle would not be bad at all although we've seen it before. More than likely he'll be stuck in upper midcard hell working with Kane again!

[Guest Anglesault]

NOT FUCKING KANE. Jesus, why couldn't Kurt be in the ambulence? it's better than this career killing bullshit

[Guest The Winslow]

I think they hit on something last night that could be important for Angle and the WWF.

 

When the NWO was initially running roughshod over everyfucking body in the WCW the first time there was a problem. What to do with the heels not aligned with the NWO? There was this storyline talking about how the WCW was doomed and how everybody had to support the WCW, but at the same time they had to have some matches outside of that single storyline.  Same problem that happened with Invasion. No one in the WWF side was really allowed to be a heel.

 

Angle's attitude could be a good way to keep some non-NWO heels around. Angle simply plays up his self-centered attitude to such a point that he is unwilling to acknowledge anything that doesn't happen directly to him.  The NWO can recognize this and state that they aren't going to screw with Angle because, hell, his attitude helps them.  Give Angle someone to hook up with and you can have some heels for those wrestlers not involved in the NWO storyline without having it look like you were pretending that the NWO didn't exist whenever a match not involving them was on.

[Guest goodhelmet]

Nice try Winslow, but the whole point of the NWO is to destroy evreyone who is not alligned with them. Their goal is to destroy the WWF, right? Why would it matter if they were the heel or not?

 

As Scott Hall said about the NWO "You're either with us or against us"

[Guest Anglesault]

I think the only face no involved in nWo storyline(or any) is Edge. And FUCK his boring ass.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

there are no main event faces not involved in the nwo.  edge also isnt involved, but then im beyond caring about edge, he needs a heel turn quick, and we need some new faces in the midcard.  cmon, turn booker, *please??*

[Guest goodhelmet]

You know, if they were gonna make Flair wrestle, wouldn't Flair-Angle have been so much better. Flair wouldn't have to resort to that mindless brawling BS he did with Taker and it could have been his last truly GREAT match. The WWF dropped the ball on that one.

[Guest Anglesault]

Turn Booker and do what?

[Guest Kaoz]

I see a classic with Bossman.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

i dunno what to do with him, but they need some more upper midcard/uppercard faces, and i just always liked booker better as a face than heel.  i would love a booker/angle program, though i dont really know how it would happen... i guess im just dreaming.

[Guest goodhelmet]

"Turn Booker and do what?"

 

Turn Booker and feud with Angle. After last night, Angle's brush with the main is over (i hope I'm wrong). The best you can hope for Anglesault is that he gets to fight some solid good in-ring performers and hope he doesn't get anywhere the NWO. Bokoker is a good place to start.

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

yeah, the low-uppercard could be really hot, with angle, booker, the returning benoit, and i presume jericho in there.  these guys could put together some really hot series of matches, and would actually make me want to get ppv's as they could steal the show from the trainwreck nwo main events whih will probably ensue.

[Guest Tony149]

You know, if they were gonna make Flair wrestle, wouldn't Flair-Angle have been so much better. Flair wouldn't have to resort to that mindless brawling BS he did with Taker and it could have been his last truly GREAT match. The WWF dropped the ball on that one.

Yeah, Flair/Angle would of been better. I guess we'll see if Flair can carry another slug to a watchable match.

 

 

If they go with another boring Edge/Regal match at WM, then they should do RVD/Angle.
