In a recent interview, Kurt Angle has stated:
"We have the best wrestlers in the world, WWE can’t compare. But how do we use them to our advantage? By simply wrestling, because that’s what they’re good at."
I think the steroids and painkillers have gone to the head of the so-called Olympic Gold Medalist. WWE can't compare? Are you retarded? Divas aside, WWE has the best talent in the world. Sure TNA has matches with people tossing each other around everywhere, but the technical and solid wrestlers are in the WWE. Randy Orton, John Morrison, Triple H, Chris Jericho just to name a few. Not to mention the developmental talent. Where is TNA's developmental talent? Oh ya they don't exist. They are pulled out of the dumpster of what is left of the NWA territories.
Kurt undoubtedly has an axe to grind with the WWE. Every time I read some article where he has nothing but dumb things to say, I can expect a pun against the WWE. Get over it Kurt! Move on! Kurt Angle has officially joined the likes of my ex-girlfriends in high school and ex-fiance, where every move he makes and every word he speaks is a shot in the direction of Stamford, CT.
I mean, Vince let him go when he wanted to. If I were Vince I would have told him to stop being a Sally and get back in the ring. If Kurt was so concerned about his injuries and touring schedule he should not have re-signed with the WWE at the time for 10 years. Vince was undoubtedly a nice guy and Kurt has done nothing but throw unjustified rocks.
Why isn't anyone listening to you Kurt? The gimmick matches in TNA are bad and TNA should just get back to the basics as you say. They don't listen to you because they don't know wrestling! Jarrett and Russo running the company....horrible. Why do you stay there if they don't listen!?
To sum it up: Kurt shut your mouth. You are just as bad as Steiner. By consistently mentioning the WWE you are confirming my point that TNA is just a second rate company. If you go toe to toe with Vince, you will get knocked on your ass.

Kurt works for TNA so of course he is going to say the WWE doesnt compare to TNA. Of course hes going to say TNA is better.
It has nothing to do with grudges. It has everything to do with who you work for.

Regardless, he still is wrong. Besides...what is this with Angle being called a veteran...hes only been a wrestler for eight years. The Hardys have been wrestling longer than him.

Angle has been in WWE and TNA for eight years, but hes been wrestling all his life.
As a wrestler, he is a veteran.

As a wrestler he is not a veteran. Amateur wrestling and Professional wrestling are two different beasts. You can be good at one, but be horrible at the other. Man...bunch of amateurs on this site.

Except that form top to bottom, TNA does have the better wrestlers.
TNA: Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Homicide, Christian Cage, Angle, Jimmy Rave, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams
WWE: Bourne, Morrison, Miz, MVP, Matt Hardy, Triple H, HBK, Jericho, Finlay, Edge, Punk, Shelton
TNA gets most of it's talent out of ROH, which pumps out quality wrestlers like clockwork. The WWE, which is finally starting to push and develop new guys, is starting to catch up but can't match TNA from top to bottom.

That's pretty hilarious. I recall another company who had a bunch of talent sitting around doing nothing. Oh yea WCW. WWE matches and exceeds TNA from top to bottom cause they have more wrestlers period. Sorry my friend but you need to know wrestling history.

Ok, what's hilarious is the fact that you think there's a right or wrong answer here. And what does WCW have to do with the current talent level in TNA? Did I mention the ones you're referring to (sting, nash, dudleyz, booker)? Apparently, how the company handles you dictates your talent and in-ring ability. I did not know that.
Who else have I left off the WWE list? Have you even seen Jimmy Rave, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal or Homicide in ROH? TNA has top-to-bottom superior talent. How their booked has no relevance to that.
Seriously, know who you're dealing with before you challenge someone's knowledge of history.

Easy there fireball. Who I am dealing with is someone who lacks wresltling business knowledge. What business school did you graduate from?

When it comes down to it, you can be the greatest wrestler in the world but if you are badly booked then you have no chance. Of course how you are booked doesnt affect your talent captain obvious. Athleticism is not the only element to be a great wrestler. Obviously YOU should know who you are dealing with when it comes to wrestling history cause YOU don't realize that TNA is repeating what WCW did. TNA won't be around in 5 years anyway so arguing is pointless. The entire TNA roster will be working for Vince.

WWE, TNA, all any of them do now is talk for about 75% of the show. TNA is fun to watch just don't know that many of them but they are exciting to watch. The WWE has the same matches at every pay-per-veiw, they have all the star power and talent but i dont think they are doing a good job now because they can never get my attention anymore, i can start watching it and the first commercial i go to the history channel and forget its even on til its about to go off. ( Just my opinion!!)

Well I respect your opinion but WWE must be doing something right because revenues and stocks are the highest they have ever been.
