Angle “No Gimmicks Needed”
-At its 2006 No Surrender pay-per-view, TNA shocked the world with the announcement that the company had signed Kurt Angle. Two years later, Angle headlines that pay-per-view, which takes place tonight in Oshawa, Ontario.
Recent Interview on Slam Wrestling Kurt Angle speaks in mind on TNA. Saying that there shoud be no gimmicks in wrestling, just pure one-on-one.
Words of angle:
“I believe pay-per-view matches should be straight up, one-on-one,” Angle shared with SLAM! Wrestling in an exclusive sit-down. “One on one, or tag on tag, nobody else involved, no run-ins, no gimmicks.”
Indeed, he was quite candid in his view that TNA’s over-reliance on multi-man and other gimmick matches is, for the most part, unnecessary.
“I feel TNA sometimes thinks we’re being innovative by having matches that are gimmick,” he theorized. “Like on one pay-per-view, we had a cage match with weapons, and a Last Man Standing match, and a New Jersey Street Fight. We don’t need to have gimmick matches. We have the talent to have great wrestling matches. That’s why we are different than WWE. We have amazing wrestlers that can put on incredible matches.” More on Kurt’s Angle on TNA Wrestling
