Will Kurt Angle get an unexpected face pop

[Guest Dangerous A]

Do you think Kurt Angle will get an unexpected face pop at WM due to the War in Iraq? I know probrably not, but it could happen. How will American fans react when they see a man wearing the red, white, and blue and knowing in the back of their minds that there are troops fighting for their very lives that represent the colors Angle is sporting?

 

 

Also, IF Angle makes it back in a year as expected, do you think that he will come back as a face? Do you think he'll get the face pop a lot of top people get when they return from a long hiatus? In the latest Observer, Meltzer seems to think Angle will come back as a huge babyface because of the layoff. What do you think?

[Guest El Satanico]

Well it seems as if everyone of importance gets an initial face pop after returning from a long absense.

 

Depends on if WWe embraces that welcome back pop or if they have Angle go out and piss the fans off.

 

Alot will depend on what's going on in WWe in a year's time. If they need a big face then Angle will be a face. Unless alot changes they will need Angle to come back as a heel.

Well...WWF threw the title on him after 9/11 for a month or so...so who knows. Kinda hard to boo a guy who's overly patriotic now.

[Guest iamsherm]

Possibly, but a little mixed reaction never hurt anybody (i.e. Hogan-Rock at X-8).

[Guest bob_barron]

He'll still get the You Suck stuff. And

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

With the injury angle they have with Brock

 

they're making sure Brock will be the face. The crowd loves Brock so much that it wont matter

[Guest mickberna]

Kurt already gets face pops before everyone starts booing him and chanting "you suck". Why? Because people realize how good he is, and they give him heat because he's a great heel. And if lots of fans attending WM come to learn about his impending surgery, he'll get a huge pop.

 

And the stars and stripes won't hurt, either.

I think Angle will get a fair pop at WM, obviously for his hardcore patriot gimmick. I'm under the assumption that a fair amount of fans know about his impending surgery and that this could be his last match, so I'm guessing that he will also get some love from the crowd. After all, his this could be his final appearance as an active wrestler.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Have they acknowledged the injury on WWE.com yet? That could have a huge bearing on how much he gets cheered, since the vast majority of WWE's fans with internet access get all of their news from there.

[Guest bob_barron]

Angle is basically a face anyway. At the last two shows I've gone through, after the inital You Suck chant, he gets MAD face pops.

 

On SD! the TO crowd was chanting 'We Want Angle' and in NY he got one of the biggest face pops of the night
