  • Possible TLC Spoiler: Big Name Slated To Return On Raw This Monday

    Possible TLC Spoiler: Big Name Slated To Return On Raw This Monday

    While we are still a few days away from the TLC PPV this Sunday, a new report might have revealed the outcome of one of the most anticipated matches on the show.

    Pwinsider is reporting that the Raw General Manager and Hall of Famer Kurt Angle is expected to be on next Monday’s Raw from Sacramento, California.

    What’s interesting to note here is that Kurt has mostly been absent from Raw since Stephanie McMahon sent him on vacation and made Baron Corbin the acting General Manager of the show.

    Now with Corbin scheduled to put his power on the line against Braun Strowman at this Sunday’s PPV, Kurt’s return just the night after the show makes it a very interesting development.

    What’s worth mentioning here is that Braun Strowman is reportedly scheduled for another clash with Brock Lesnar and the most likely destination for it is the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV.

    This, combined with the fact that Angle will return just the night after Baron puts his authority on the line, is enough to start the speculation that Kurt will be returning to reclaim his position.

    Whether or not Angle actually reclaims the GM role is yet to be seen, but his scheduled return does make next week’s episode of Raw a highly anticipated episode of the show.

    Kurt Angle Q&A: Ronda Rousey’s Development, Future Top WWE Stars

    WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently did a Q&A on Facebook and commented on a number of interesting topics. Right off the bat, one fan asked him about WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey’s development in WWE.

    He has some history with her as he teamed up with the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34 in a Mixed Tag Team Match this past April at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    He responded by stating “Ronda has become an amazing sports entertainer. She caught on so quickly. But, there will come a time where she will need to do some improvising during her matches. That only comes with experience. She has proven herself to be highly respected in the pro ‘rasslin circle, but give her another year or so of experience so she feels 1,000 percent more comfortable. I understand where she is right now because I too was pushed into a spot that only the most experienced wrestlers get to, although I didn’t have the experience. That’s the main event. Ronda is special. She will only get better.”

    The former WWE Champion also talked about who he sees on the current roster that can be top stars.

    “You have guys right now that can do it. Some upcoming guys and girls? Finn [Balor]. [Bobby] Roode. [Chad] Gable. Ember Moon. Although I’m not crazy about him personally, [Baron] Corbin will be a huge factor.”

    WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently did a Q&A on Facebook and commented on a number of interesting topics. Right off the bat, one fan asked him about who he thinks could be called up to the main roster next. This is where he noted that he would think it would be The Velveteen Dream and gave him some praise.

    “I’m liking this Velveteen Dream kid. It’s different and he has a lot of promise. I remember meeting him at an Indy show 5 years ago. He’s come a long way!”

    Angle also talked about who he would like to wrestle in his final match, which he noted that’s a tough question as there is so much talent in the WWE right now.

    “AJ [Styles] or [Samoa] Joe or [Seth] Rollins or [Daniel] Bryan. Then you have Sheamus and Cesaro. [Baron] Corbin. [Chad] Gable and [Jason] Jordan. I’d have to go with either Rollins or Bryan. Only because I’ve never wrestled them and I’ve had my eye on them for 5 years.”

    Finally, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about his favorite year in the WWE which is a hard question to answer due to the great career that he had with the company. He gave two different time periods.

    “From a championship perspective, 2000-2001. From a workhorse perspective, 2001-2006. Yes, all 5 years. Why? Because I was undoubtedly the best in WWE during those 5 years. I’m not bragging, I’m being honest. My only setback was the neck injuries.”

    Angle was also asked who he would like to see in a modern hair vs. hair match. The former WWE Champion knows what it takes to have a good match like this as he lost to Edge at the Judgement Day pay-per-view event on May 19, 2002, at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

    The WWE Legend wrote, “Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins. Lots of hair on the line.”

    Finally, he was asked if he wrestled Owen Hart before signing with WWE. Angle made his first appearance at a professional wrestling event in 1996 with his in-ring debut following in 1998. He signed a contract with the WWE that same year and participated in his first televised storyline in March 1999.

    “Yes, I did. Owen carried me through the entire match. I learned to appreciate how good he truly was.”

    Thus, when speaking with Sam Roberts at Ringside Collectibles’ Ringside Fest, he gave some insight into Rousey and what her ceiling is in the WWE. He can’t believe how well she adapted to it as he felt it was like him as he thinks she is adapting to pro wrestling too quickly.

    He was quoted by stating, “This girl has been the best in judo, the best in the UFC but I think this is her thing. I think the WWE is the thing she’ll be the most known for.” He added if healthy, in another six-ten years, WWE will be her legacy.

    Rousey is slated to take on SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch in a champion vs. champion match at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view event on Sunday, November 18, 2018 in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center that will air on the WWE Network.

    While Kurt Angle was not present at this week’s episode of Raw, the General Manager appeared in a video package where he talked about the upcoming Crown Jewel event.

    Angle said that he has heard people talking about how Kurt must be out of his mind if he thinks he is going to win the World Cup and recalled his previous achievements:

    “Well, to those who say that. Was I out of my mind when I outlasted the competition and won the 2000 King of the Ring? Was I out of my mind when I won the WWE Championship in my rookie year? Was I out of my mind when I won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck?

    Maybe I was. But I’ll tell you this. Winning the WWE World Cup would mean more to me now than anything I’ve ever accomplished. So, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, and my first round opponent, Dolph Ziggler, you better be ready.

    Because I’m not coming to Crown Jewel to prove that I have one more match. I’m coming to Crown Jewel to prove that once again, I am the best in the world. It’s true, it’s damn true.” (transcription credit: SEScoops.com)

It was always negative but it was also true because the teams would be struggling at that time. So when the crowd would respond to me with “Booooos”. I’d say “But it’s true. It’s true.”

    Angle also fleshed out the story of when he broke his neck in 1996, saying that “I broke my neck when I was thrown on top of my head during a match. It broke 4 vertebrae.

I didn’t want to do it, but Vince was in a crazy mood. So we’d wrestle for a while and stop. Then Vince would attack me again. Then he’d stop. Over and over. I just wanted to sleep. The flight attendant told us to stop, but Vince wanted to wrestle, so we wrestled…. for 4 hours. Lol.”

It all happened in the midst of “The Beast’s” WWE Title match with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 19. The finish of the match was initially set to be Lesnar hitting a Shooting Star Press on Angle for the win.

    “Well, it was my idea to do the shooting star…Brock misjudged the flip and landed on his head. It was a scary moment.
