Kurt Angle Was a Fan of the Legends Title


In the world of professional wrestling, titles aren't just pieces of gold and leather; they carry with them a sense of prestige, honor, and a representation of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by the competitors who strive to hold them. One title that stands out in this regard is the TNA Legends Title. Recently, on his podcast "The Kurt Angle Show," the Olympic Gold Medalist and wrestling legend Kurt Angle shared his thoughts on this unique championship.


The TNA Legends Title had been a bit controversial with fans at the time. Kurt Angle, a household name in the industry, expressed his fondness for the Legends Title during a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show. Angle's perspective shed light on what makes this title not just another piece of wrestling hardware, but a symbol of heritage and aspiration.


“I liked it because if you’re a legends champion, you’re either a legend or you’re going to be a future legend," Angle mused on his podcast. "And I think it’s a really cool name for a title, you know, legends title. It means you’re not the champion, but you’re a legend. I like it.”


Angle's words capture the essence of what the Legends Title represents. It's not just about being the champion; it's about embracing the legacy of those who came before and striving to leave a mark that future generations will remember. The title's name encapsulates the idea that the holder is connected to wrestling's storied past and is on a trajectory toward becoming a legend themselves.





The name "Legends Title" itself carries weight. It's a declaration that the bearer is more than just a momentary champion. They are a part of wrestling history and a part of the narrative that continues to unfold with each passing match. This connection to the past and the future is what makes the TNA Legends Title truly unique.


Angle's appreciation for the Legends Title is a testament to his deep respect for the business and its traditions. As a wrestling icon who has achieved greatness on numerous platforms, Angle's endorsement of this title adds to its credibility and significance.


In a world where championship titles are often seen as just another accessory for a wrestler's persona, the TNA Legends Title stands as a reminder of the rich tapestry of wrestling lore. It serves as a bridge between generations and a source of inspiration for those who seek to etch their names in the annals of wrestling greatness.


Kurt Angle's thoughts on the TNA Legends Title remind us that wrestling isn't just about the battles within the ring; it's about the stories, the legends, and the connections that define the sport. The Legends Title, with its evocative name and the admiration of wrestling legends like Kurt Angle, continues to be a symbol of honor and aspiration, embodying the very essence of what it means to be a wrestling champion.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

     I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show.       WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

PWInsider additionally reported that The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry have also been released.   We have word on several All Elite Wrestling releases.

Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm.  I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
