TNA's Big Surprise Revealed

As it turns out, TNA actually had two surprise. After the main event, Jim Cornette came out to the ring to make a major announcement. Cornette said that starting on Thursday, November 16th, TNA goes two hours in prime time. Cornette then said that that wasn't the big surprise. He then shows a pre-recorded segment showing Kurt Angle work out in the ring. Kurt Angle is TNA's major announcement. Jeff Jarrett looks stunned in the ring as fans chant "Angle, Angle" as the pay-per-view came to a conclusion ends.

Why the fuck is Angle in TNA? WWE could of given him the break he needs and then returned and plus he still has a contract with WWE as far as we were all lead to believe. What the fuck happened to MMA? Even the president of UFC was talking about him joining. Im soooo confused.

Ive lost a big amount of respect for Angle joining TNA.

that's bullshit why the fuck is angle joining tna what a fuckin trader to the wwe

[Just KC]

IMO Angle is an absolute goof, instead of earning more money for his family and performing in places like Madison Square Garden he would rather perform in a Studio. WWE made Kurt Angle and angles turned on them. Now were going to have to listen to Kurt say OMG WWE SUCKS FUCK YOU I DONT BELONG IN ECW IM TO GOOD FOR YOU, LONG LIVE TNA!

I am curious how the 'No Compete' clause in his contract will affect this? If he had that in his contract.

Angle What How Could U Angle

I think that it was a great move for Angle. Now he only wrestles once or twice a month, compared to 2-300 days a year with the WWE. He was dying in the ring and if you think that being with the top company or making more money or selling out Madison square Garden is more important than Angle's health, than you may really need to question what you think are important priorities in life. I want Angle to see his daughter graduate highschool and get married. I couldnt give a damn less if that meant that he never wrestled again or if it meant he decided to be the guy that walks around picking up the elephant waste at the circus. I support Angles choice to go to tna if that is what it takes for angle to insure he is still alive in 10 years.

Doesnt matter how many matches he wrestles, the fact that he needs a break is what matters. Angle will still risk himself if he wrestles in TNA. He is still very injured prone and very unhealthy.. physically.

I don't know if the 2 hour thing is right (is it confirmed?) but this is up on www.tnawrestling.com right now:

TNA Issues Press Release Regarding Kurt Angle Signing, Move To Primetime

TNA issued the following press release upon the conclusion of their No Surrender PPV:

TNA WRESTLING MAKES TWO MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
Signs Kurt Angle
iMPACT! Moves To 9 PM on Spike TV Starting Thursday, November 16

Nashville, TN, September 24, 2006 – Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling announced today that Olympic gold medalist and pro wrestling megastar Kurt Angle has signed exclusively with the company. It was also announced that TNA iMPACT! will move to 9:00 PM ET/PT Thursdays on Spike TV starting November 16.

“This has been a huge week in our company’s history,” said Dixie Carter, president of TNA Entertainment, LLC. “The signing of Kurt Angle and the move of iMPACT! to 9 PM are both significant benchmarks in the growth of TNA. The history of pro wrestling is marked with events that change the landscape of the industry and I believe that this week will be viewed in that context.”

Angle, a 2-time NCAA Division I champion and a 3-time NCAA Division I All-American, capped off his illustrious amateur career by winning a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Olympics, competing with two cracked vertebrae, two herniated disks and four pulled muscles.

On November 14, 1999, Angle made his on-screen debut with the World Wrestling Federation. Since then, this 5-time WWE World Champion has held every major championship belt in WWF/E. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2003.

“Kurt is considered the greatest wrestler in professional wrestling,” added Carter. “His in-ring ability is matched only by his leadership and attitude. We are thrilled Kurt is joining the TNA family and we look forward to a long, successful relationship.”

“Being with TNA feels like I found my home,” Kurt Angle commented. “TNA will be the most watched show on cable TV – it’s just a matter of time. Thank you TNA for saving my career, my life and my desire to do what I love.”

TNA also announced it will premiere in primetime on Spike TV starting Thursday, November 16, kicking-off with a two-hour extravaganza from 9:00 – 11:00 PM, ET/PT to celebrate the move. The following Thursday, TNA can be seen in its regularly scheduled timeslot (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), with encores continuing to telecast on Saturdays (11:00 PM – Midnight, ET/PT).

“We’ve been impressed by TNA’s growth and the acquisition of Kurt Angle today continues to show us that wrestling fans, as well as professional wrestlers, know that TNA is the place to be and now primetime on Spike TV is the place for them to be,” says Kevin Kay, General Manager of Spike TV.

Thanx man for clearing that up

Is it possible Kurt didn't like being on ECW? I don't believe I have heard anything like that but he says TNA helped ressurect his career.

lol, on a funny note, the report i did about the ads on the TNA website, maybe they did that to pay for Kurts salary.
