When does the Kurt Angle Invitational end?

Recommended Posts

While I'm all for guys like Roderick Strong and Matt Styrker getting a minute and a half of tv time, I think this whole thing has run its course and a little more. I thought this was going to be a new way to introduce someone new, but it's been going on so long I'm gettng the idea that it's just a way where Kurt doesn't have to work much on Smackdown any more.

I agree. I was under the impression they were doing it to give Kurt something to do while the other main eventers were tied up with other feuds. I figured it was done when HBK jumped him a couple weeks ago (when he was wearing the riot gear), but I guess I was wrong.

 

I was thinking someone like Daniel Puder was going to come out one day and make Kurt sweat, if not beat him, though it looks like that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

According to Dave Meltzer, Dan Puder was supposed to beat him when they did the combined RAW & Smackdown from San Jose (since Puder is from there) the night after Royal Rumble. But that was Paul Heyman's idea, so it was dropped.

Sure, but there has to be some sort of payoff. Running this for MONTHS and then dropping it out of the blue would be a mistake. Angle can't do this forever, and it's not like his condition will suddenly improve.

Yeah, there can be a payoff down the road. But they can use it as "rainy day booking" so to speak, so when they have a guy to debut and want to give a good push to, they can use this. But it doesn't mean that they have anyone planned for the spot at this point, or are building to anything yet.

Well, if Brock Lesnar ever comes back, this is one way to do it.

Yeah, but there are a million ways to bring Lesnar back and he'll be over...this is an easy way they can put over a new guy from OVW, by giving him a big win over Angle, and maybe going with something like Razor/123 Kid from there.

With JBL/Orlando in the Dibiase/IRS roles? :ph34r:

I think JBL and Chief Morley (Val Venis) would work better as Money Inc. 2K5.

Dibiase = JBL

Morley = IRS

Jordan = Virgil...

 

Sounds all the better to me.. Jordan isnt hurt that bad, so he could probably still get over as a face eventually too.

You have better odds of having Andre The Giant return to WWE than Brock Lesnar to end Angles thing inside the next year.

 

Yes, I know Andre's dead.

That guy in the hoodie never actually got his chance because of HBK. Bring back generic hoodie guy and push the Hell out of him, I say.

The problem with a guy like Joe showing up; he instantly stands out from all the other smaller guys who show up for these things.

 

However; Angle can cut a "oh great? Another Fat Samoan" type comment and Joe unleashed Hell on Angle.

 

I will wait for this, the next time they hit So-Cal.

It should be Teddy Hart.

Has Teddy Hart wrestled anywhere BUT JAPW? To my knowledge, I haven't seen Teddy do another indy promotion but JAPW. Everytime I hear that he has a match, it's only on a JAPW show.

 

The only way this thing is gonna end successfully is for a BIG NAME indy wrestler to do it.

He worked TNA too, right?

 

Or, he had something to do with them. Either way.

Yes he did. And he pulled the same circus show after the match crap he did in ROH and then got into a fight with CM Punk to boot which got him out of TNA. WWE wouldn't bring him in since he got kicked out of OVW a couple years back for being a flake. I think Teddy's been blackballed out of every promotion he's worked because of his stupidity...

just because it's always a fun read and it relates to the teddy hart stuff, here's CM PUNK's take on that piece of shit teddy hart.

 

"Well folks, even sometimes I break rules. Today, I break rule number 411. I will talk about somebody, more importantly a subject, and will inturn, give said person undeserved press. COMPLETELY undeserved press, but I gotta be me...I gotta get this off my chest....

The following is from an interview that Teddy Annis recently conducted on an internerd radio show. I will post his half retarded comments in italics, then I will post the truth.

 

He thinks the ROH match that he was involved in was one of best matches ever in wrestling. He says that the match was great and the cheers from the fans had his adrenaline rushing. He had a little left in the tank after the match so he did not think that the fans got all of their money's worth from Ted which is why he did the extra moves. He had a concussion after the match, but he is not using that as an excuse.

 

Not using the "concussion" as an excuse. Let's examine that statement, shall we Mr. Annis? Who called the ROH office 17 times the day after saying that you had no recollection of the match? You didn't even remember doing your post match antics the day after the show, NOW suddenly, "the crowd didn't get their monies worth". You're a liar, also, a bad one. Want proof folks? Teddys daddy called and said he had a concussion and couldn't fly out, while Teddy himself was on the other line saying he missed his flight because he was stuck in traffic. D'oh! Other highlights of the 17 phone calls is Teddys dad calling trying to get his job in ROH back, saying he could be the "new Brian Pillman". Brian Pillman as the loose cannon worked because it was believable that he could hurt somebody. You, my sad little friend, just annoy the shit out of people.

 

He did a 30 foot moonsault off the cage to the floor. He also did a shooting star press onto 3 guys and did a backflip off the ropes as a tribute to his uncle, the late Owen Hart. He states that anyone who has seen him in Calgary knows that he does the backflip tribute at the beginning and end of every one of his matches, win, lose or draw. The hosts say that they respect that he wanted to do a tribute, but ask how he can justify doing that in light of what was asked from him in the match.

 

 

This is where I could absolutely kill you. Owen Hart, fucking rest his soul, NEVER no sold a fucking thing in his life. You had just been in a CAGE MATCH. Summer Slam '94, Bret vs. Owen. Awesome cage match. NO MOONSAULT. A good tribute for you to do for Owen would be to sell your boots on Ebay, you knuckle head. Better yet, just swallow some jacks. This business is dangerous enough. We, the boys, risk out lives enough. We don't need a kid like you putting any of us in harms way more than we already are. All your post match bullshit was to get yourself over and ANY cost. You put "the three guys" you did a shooting star onto in SO much danger because they had no clue it was coming. You put yourself first, and others in danger, THIS, is why i'm even responding to all of this.

 

He believes people are jealous of the moves he can do.

 

You're seriously retarded.

 

When asked who these people are, he responds that Steve Corino did a shoot interview insulting him and calling him a goof. Teddy said when he saw Steve he shook his hand and said he would let it go. Corino responded why and that "you are a goof". He also cites how AJ Styles gave him a list of moves not do to do.

Teddy feels this is unfair as AJ didn't invent the moves in question. He doesn't feel that he should be handcuffed and that he must give the fans everything he has. He does not believe the business has to work in such a manner and cites guys doing jobs to Goldberg and HHH as proof.

 

Hm...where to begin. AJ Styles may not have invented the moves in question, but he's been in TNA doing them for over a year. Any worker with a brain (i.e. NOT you) wouldn't walk into a WWE ring a start handing out pedigrees, so why would you use the spiral tap on an NWA PPV? I approached you after your match with Juvi and explained to you that AJ used the spiral tap, and you might want to talk to him about it in the future, and you just gave me your blank retard stare and said, "I invented that". Did you invent being stupid too? Seriously, just asking. These guys that've done jobs for goldberg, did they use the Jackhammer? Teddy, really, please. Give the the names of the wrestlers that used the legdrop as a finish in the WWE from 1983 to the present.....douche.

 

 

He says that the locker room can't just band together and refuse to do a job. The promoter should step in and say that Ted Hart puts asses in seats.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'd pay good money to bet that neither do you.

 

Teddy sed to work at KFC and says that you can't tell your boss there you're only giving 50%. He says that if a fan spends $50 on a ticket to see Ted Hart they are going to get their money's worth. There is no option for him to only give 50%. He says if he was working under contract to Vince it would be different, but on the indy scene he can't understand holding back. He says that Rob Feinstein left the door open for him to do this as he told him that if the fans cheered his name then go with it. He believes a lot of the guys who were angry at him are just jealous and everyone knows his only plan is to go to WWE.

 

Teddy, I was there. The fans were not chanting "PLEASE CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE AND DO THREE UNPLANNED SPOTS PUTTING EVERYBODY WHO HAS TO BREAK KAYFABE AND RUN TO CATCH YOU IN HARMS WAY". It's a catchy chant, but it didn't happen. Also, your plan...you ONLY plan is to go to the WWE, perhaps you forgot that you were already there. And you got fired. Idiot.

 

People who try and blackball him only add more fuel to his fire. He is there to please the fans and not the boys even though the boys have his life in their hands. If they drop him on his head then so be it. He won't stop because 5-6 guys who shouldn't be lacing up boots don't like him. He can't believe he isn't allowed to compete on an equal level because some guys do the same moves as him.

 

I don't believe for one second you have a fire. You don't love this business Listen to the things you say. Look at the things you do. You give no fuck about the boys, our well being. You only care about yourself. I can only hope that i'm one of the six guys that "shouldn't lace up boots", because then I did my job as one of the ROH locker room leaders. I can't say it enough, no excuse in the world can help you: You put some of the boys in a really horrible potentially dangerous position, and then you cry about being "blackballed". You whine about "not being able to compete on an equal level", and truthfully, that's nobodies fault but your own. Learn some etiquette.

 

If God wants him to make it in the WWE, then he will. He says there is a reason God lets him do 30 foot moonsaults.

 

There is no god, and the cage wasn't 30 feet.

 

Teddy is 23 years old and partially attributes people's jealousy to his age and that they don't have the same creativity and athleticism and feel challenged because they're not willing to follow the standards he sets. He says that we would still have communist countries if people weren't willing to take a chance. Sir A stops him as he states that the hosts don't read the newspapers and drink a lot. Teddy doesn't drink or smoke and compares himself to a preacher.

 

American Dragon is 22, and one humble motherfucker for how good he is. Nobody is jealous of you, the standard you set is a creepy little no selling troll that wears sunglasses in doors, and changes outfits four times before a show, mainly due to your insecurity as a person. Oh...Teddy? We still do have communist countries, dunce. Oh, and I won't mention the fact that you were asking people where you could score some pot while you were at TNA because you don't smoke.

 

Teddy is the only one of the Harts who was never stretched by Stu.

 

...Which is readily recognized from your lack of discipline. Learn how to sell.

 

 

So there's your extra press for the day Mr. Annis. No worries though, if it gets you anywhere, i'd bet my life and 100 dollars that you'd find a way to ruin it for yourself with your out of control ego as well as your piss poor attitude. There is no conspiracy, nobody is trying to blackball you. We're just looking out for our friends safety as well as ours. We're just looking out for the product we all believe in, because it's US that want to give the fans a good show. We're just policing our locker room from a cancer that has no business in a business that he acts like he knows all about, but knows so little. We're just protecting our business.
