Kurt Angle... An Olympic Hero

[Khamul]

Dunno if anyone knows or even cares (apart from me) but Kurt Angle is going to be out for a year at least with a serious neck injury, following this years Wrestlemania on March 30. There is even talk that he may have to retire because of the need to fuse vertebrae in his lower back. I find this news to be very unfortunate as he is an awesome athlete, a great heel and a very nice guy (when hes out of character) by all accounts.
So, heres to Kurt... entdraught
Wishing him a very speedy recovery, and to say he will be sorely missed regardless of how long he is out for!

Here here!
He is a great athlete and person!
I hope he recovers!

hes not gonna retire completely but if he does he'll do sumthin like mick foley, where he has some special job and does sum stupid stuff. ah well..get well kurt. (he said he wanted to go back to the olympics next year but i guess that isnt happening)

[TheRingBearer]

Here Here.
Apparently he wants to fight at Wrestlemania and go out with a bang even though there is a risk of paralysis.

:elfeek: Kurt is gonna be out????????

:( No fair Kurt is the best! I love his baldy head! lol no seriously now I will miss Kurt Hope he gets well soon and DOESN'T retire! As long as Jeff Hardy doesn't retire I'm happy! When did Kurt say he wanted to go back to the Olympics?

[Roca Wear]

I DONT THINK HE CAN GO BACK TO THE OLYMPICS AFTER THIS INJURY :(

please don't shout,.....it wasn't necessary

[Roca Wear]

what are u talkin about

[OBsession]

I think it is cause you used capitals - we determine it as shouting.:)

[Bonos-Girl]

yep...excactly OBsession..and even if you didn't mean to shout it makes it harder to read in capitals.

Okay...well this can safely get back on topic now as Mr. Roca will be unable to view these posts and learn the fine art of online communication. ;)

my momand partially me (i just said hi) met him in the airport in Atlanta... we were eating lunch and we saw him w/ eddie gurerra?? (can't spell his name) they were getting some sandwiches from the WALL STREET DELI.. we also saw i think its Big Show... yea.. he was really nice..

[Khamul]

Nice one!!! Kurt and Eddie (Guerrero) are two of my favourites! Although I think if I saw the Big Show whilst I was eating I wouldnt be able to finish my meal... and if it were Rikishi? I'd be sick. I have heard that Kurt and Big Show (Paul Wight) are really nice guys in real life. You should have chatted to them for a bit!

That gives me an idea! >>> If anyone ever meets any WWE Wrestlers could they please get me an autograph?!? My real name is Alex. I'll never get to meet them as I am in the UK and when they do (infrequently) come over they dont stick around for long. Cheers!

Poor Kurt..... he's my sister's favorite (she likes the three "I"s).

Hahaha- I have Mankind's autograph!! My family went to a baseball game, where he threw the opening pitch and later signed autographs. We had nothing to have him sign, so my sister took off her socks, and we pretended to have two Mr. Sockos. When I handed him the 'Mr. Socko', he said that I was a true fan. Fun stuff.

If I knew you about a year ago, Khamul, we could have gotten you an autograph too.....

Alright, I am a huge (we're talking astronomical) fan of WWE and the whole industry for the entertainment aspect of it mostly....oh and the hot guys...;) I have to admit, as a character I cannot stand the "Angel" Kurt Angle. He's a pansy to me but that's cause I get very "IN " to my wrestling....VERY....vocally and all...though I know it's all sports and stuff. Anywho...I am very saddened to hear about his injury though. I know the seriousness of the hazards involved with this particular sport and I cry each time a wrestler is killed. I have been a fan since I was very young though. Not because my parents allowed me to watch but because I chose too.

FYI= my favorite is Mick Foley and I dreamed he had died!!! It was a very sad thing!! Second favs are Steve Austin and Jim Dugan!!!

yea i know.. but our flight was gonna leave shortly after we saw him... but i think we still have a dark/shadowy pic of guerrero picing up somethin from some movie stand in atlanta...i'll have 2 check

Well, I got to see Wrestlmania, and the Angle/Lesner match
was one of the best they had! No interfierence(sp?) or
B.S., just a grreat match between two guys that have worked
they're butts off to be the best at what they do. At the end, Angle
hugged Lesner, and it looked like the real thing.

Kurt, though you may never read this, my your reovery be short
and complete!

Kudos!
