Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Thanks to all the AWO members (and non members too) for responding in kind to my earlier Angle/face run post. As funny as some of the flaming/humor posts are to me, the serious discussion ones where people have good, valid arguments are awesome to me. Here we go. Scenario- Angle decides to take time off to train for the Olympics. (as well as be around his new child due very soon) Now we all see the first class treatment (wink,wink) the writing team has given our Olympic hero. Let's assume they ramp Angle down and de-push him farther than he is already potentially headed. Sucess in the Olympics aside, what if Angle while away says "I don't need this bullshit, I have a brand new child and family now. Money is not a problem.(assuming) Why do I need to go back to grueling days on the road? Why put up with fighting the writing team when I know they hate me? Fuck this shit, I'm not coming back" How would all you Angle-maniacs take it? Would Anglesault become Jerichosault or Benoitsault? Would Angle-slam attempt to assassinate Steph or any member of the writing/booking team? Or would you guys just adopt another workhorse to keep you even interested in WWE? Would you even be interested in WWE anymore? I am not asking this to annoy Angle fans. I like Angle too. I just wanted to know from the rabid fans what would you do if this potentially real scenario were to come true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 26, 2002 I'm not the biggest Angle mark here, but I do like the guy, and I am in the majority that feel he needs to be higher than he is... but if he were to go in that direction, sure I would be dissapointed, but if he felt that that would be best for him and his family, more power to him. I would probably think about that as well if I were in his position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Would Anglesault become Jerichosault or Benoitsault? I'd say Jerichosault. Or maybe Austinsault or VanDamsault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted May 26, 2002 AS should change his name to RetardSault anyway. But in all seriousness, if Angle left, there would not really be any reason to watch the WWF apart from Booker, RVD and the Cruiser division if it's pushed right. I mean as much as some people hated him, and his SharpShooter sucked, Rocky was along with Angle, Booker, RVD, Jericho, Christian, and the Hurricane, the only entertaining characters from the start of 2002.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 I kind of expect him to say "screw this" after he leaves for the Olympics, so I won't be shocked. If that were his decission, I'd respect that. I'd probably become AustinPress or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Angle's a professional, he'll still have his contract, he probablt won't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 He probably won't, but he should. There is no reason why he should put up with this shit. MAVEN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 26, 2002 They're not going to keep up with the Maven feud, there is no way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 There was also no way they could fuck up the Invasion... And if not Maven, wheer do they go from here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Back to Edge it looks like. But they do storylines all the time that have very little to no build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Back to Edge it looks like. But they do storylines all the time that have very little to no build. CHRIST! Hasn't Edge done enough damage? Edge Feuds are bad enough for one month, horrible for two, but deadly for three. Look what it did to Regal! This little feud that couldn't is just going to keep chugging along until Angle is totally destroyed, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 26, 2002 I doubt they'll do Edge/Angle again, they'll probably just hot shot a feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 I don't even know who's left for him to face though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 26, 2002 Mark Henry? In all seriousness, I went ahead and tried to fantasy book a card and I couldn't find a place for Angle and I already had eleven possible matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted May 26, 2002 There is always Triple H. (j/k) Angle will probably get 'retired' by someone or help turn Jricho back Face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 26, 2002 I guess he could run in the main event and beat the fuck out of Hogan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
