Extensive Backstage Details On Angle's TNA Deal

[hbk]

Kurt Angle was not in Orlando, FL last night for the No Surrender PPV, and isn't expected at tonight's "Impact" tapings.

Angle was on the phone with Dixie Carter during the PPV Sunday night. The segment that aired on the broadcast was filmed at midnight on Wednesday in Nashville by an independent film crew who all signed agreements.

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Angle's TNA contract is not an exclusive deal, which will allow him to seek MMA matches, which seems to be the plan for Angle's camp.

At this point, Angle is expected to appear at the 10/22 Bound for Glory PPV in Detroit, but isn't scheduled to wrestle on the show.

Kurt Angle signing with TNA is definatly a shock and I don't think anyone was expecting Angle to be the major announcement. It's obviously good news for TNA to sign a former WWE champion and an Olimpic gold medalist but is Angle ready to wrestle? Angle was released from the WWE because he needed time to heal so is this a case of Angle returning to wrestling to soon? People can post about all the matches that could possibly happen but Angle shouldn't wrestle if he isn't ready to wrestle. Some people are saying Angle signing with TNA is the beginning of another wrestling war and it might be the beginning of a wrestling war. If Angle is ready to wrestle he could definatly help TNA compete with the WWE.
